Notes
a. Note:   N3311 "Daniel Slaymaker, youngest son of Mathias Schleirermacher, was left as executor of his father's estate. Daniel was with General Washington under General Braddock when Braddock was killed by the French and Indians, near where Pittsburgh now stands. He enlisted as a Private during the Revolutionary War and marched to Virginia with the army and was detailed as teamster, and upon one time, probably at Brandywine, when in full retreat, three of his horses were shot, the one at the offside of the tongue was not injured (he was blind). Upon this horse Daniel mounted and made his escape, saving only his rifle. While encamped in Virginia with a small division of the army, Daniel was on picket duty and while there engaged a Hessian soldier who made insulting remarks which exasperated Daniel, who raised his rifle and shot the Hession. He was court martialed, the circumstanced related regarding the shooting, and he was cleared. Near the end of the war he took camp fever and did not recover until after the war was over."
