John Slatton was a captain under Colonel Edwin Booth,
who commanded the 5th regiment of East Tennessee Militia;
Major General William Carroll was the division commander.
Some or all of the men of Slatton's company were mustered
at Wilful's muster ground in Hawkins County.
The list below was extracted from the payroll roster
in the custody of the National Archives and Records
Administration in Washington, DC. All those listed served
from 13 November 1814 to 2 June 1815 unless otherwise
noted. Those whose service terminated early probably
were killed or were deserters or took other commissions
in the militia. The dollar amount listed is the amount
of pay received for the entire period. All names are
in the order that they appeared on the list and spelled
as there.
Slatton's name is often seen as Slatten, Slaten, Slaton,
and with other spellings, but as he signed this particular
roster, "Slatton" appears to be his preferred
spelling.
