Notes for John Bryant Slusher
John B. Slusher drowned while swimming in the West Fork of Greasy Creek. He left no will. The will of his father, Jacob Slusher, leaves John's share to his children (Jacob's grandchildren), listed as I. Zear, Sarah Ellen, Taylor, and John P. However, the Jacob Slusher family bible lists the birth of John B. Slusher Jr. in 1849, so the John P. perhaps should really be John B.
