- 1799 will for Nicholas lists the following children: Josiah, Polly, Belinda, Nancy, Sally, Martha, Charlotte, Susanna, and Rebecca.
Rebecca Slade, wife of William Westfall, was born about 1793 in Georgia and was the youngest child of her parents, Nicholas Slade (a Revolutionary War Patriot) and Martha Amos both of whom died before 1803 in Georgia. Rebecca, as an orphan, along with other sisters came to Ohio with their eldest sister, Nancy A. Slade, who had married 1804 in Georgia to Newberry York, s/o William York & Lydia Burson. Following the SLADE parents' deaths, Newberry York paid the land taxes for his new wife and her unmarried sisters' Georgia property in 1805. They then left Georgia for Ohio with his YORK family. Sister, Susannah Slade, married March 1808 Preble County, Ohio to Jeptha York. Sister, Charlotte Slade (mother of John Slade b 1811) married 1817 in Ohio to Isaac G. Vanatta. Other sisters remained in Georgia. (Children of Nicholas Slade and Martha "Patsy" Amos: Josiah, Mary "Polly", Nancy A., Charlotte, Sally, Belinda Bell, Martha A., Susannah, & Rebecca.)
