Notes
a. Note:   N156 Private, Capts. Hastings & Slaymaker's Cos., Lancaster County, PA Militia, 1781
  US Congressman. After working on farms and managing a hotel he built and operated his own, the Slaymaker Inn. Slaymaker's venture was a success, and his holdings and partnerships grew to include a store, a stagecoach line, contracts to deliver mail, and farms that he rented out. He served in the militia during the Revolution as an Ensign in the company raised by his uncle, Captain John Slaymaker, and later joined an organization formed to curtail Loyalist activities in Lancaster County. Slaymaker served as a Salisbury Township Justice of the Peace and in other local offices. In addition, he continued to serve in the military, and in 1806 was appointed Inspector of the state militia in Lancaster County. Slaymaker was a County Commissioner from 1806 to 1810, and a member of the Pennsylvania Senate from 1810 to 1811. After running unsuccessfully in 1812, in 1814 Slaymaker was elected to the US House of Representatives as a Federalist in a special election held to fill the vacancy left when James Whitehill resigned, and served the remainder of Whitehill's term, October, 1814 to March, 1815. During his time in Congress, Slaymaker was one of a small group of businessmen who averted a crisis and enabled prosecution of the War of 1812 by using their personal credit to guarantee loans to the federal government. He did not run for reelection to a full term and returned to his business interests. (bio by: Bill McKern)
