| Names of Note |
| Those of us pursuing our family history often run across odd, interesting, or amusing names. I wish I had started noting them sooner because I've forgotten some really good ones, though Clay Hollowpeter and R.F. Pisser come to mind, but I don't remember where I heard them. But better late than never, so here are my more recent findings — with their sources. All of these are for real, which is, of course, what makes them amusing, charming, amazing, etc. |
| O. J. Slaughter | On a tombstone in a cemetery across the road from the Church of Christ in Clifty, KY |
| Gen. Slaughter | Gen. James E. Slaughter, son of Senator Daniel French Slaughter
The Slaughter's were a distinguished family in the early history of Virginia and Kentucky; many were high-ranking politicians and military officers. So… how would you like to be a soldier facing battle against a General Slaughter?! |
