The surname Slaughter is found spelled in a variety of ways. The Connecticut family seems to have spelled the name Slafter in the earliest generations. John Slafter or Saughter came from England or Wales about 1680 to Lynn, Massachusetts, and thence to Connecticut. The name is found but five times in Lynn records and there it is spelled Slafter. After the family removed to Connecticut, in the deeds and town records of Mansfield, Willington and Tolland, the spelling is also generally Slafter, but some of the descendants have modified the name to Salter. In the early church records of Mansfield the name is without exception spelled Slaughter. The children of John Slafter were: Mary, Anthony, Elizabeth, Samuel, Joseph, Sarah, Moses, Abigail, Benjamin.
