    Notes 
    • In a letter dated August 9, 1935, written by A.D. Hiller, Executive Assistant to the Administrator, Veterans Administration, Washington, it was noted that Adam Schlott of York County was a pensioner of the Revolutionary War.

      The Revolutionary War Record which follows was obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, W.2870, based upon his service in that war.

      "John Adam Schlott was born on 26 December 1761 in "Hessee Cassele", Middelsie, District of Schwartzenfeld, Germany. The names of his parents are not given.

      While residing in Berks County, Pennsylvania he enlisted sometime in August 1776, and served one month as a Private in Captian John Golden's company under Colonel Dickender in the Pennsylvania troops; he immediately enlisted in the Flying Camp and served six months in Captain Jacob Bower's Company, Colonel Haller's regiment and was in the battle of White Plains.

      He was allowed pension on his application executed January 8, 1833, then a resident of Windsor Township, York County, Pennsylvania, where he had moved in 1788 from Berks County. He died August 3, 1833.

      John Adam Schlott married April 29, 1788, Catharina Holderrien. It is not shown where they married; the place of her birth is not given, nor are the names of her parents stated.

      The soldier's widow, Catharina Schlott, was allowed pension on her application executed June 17, 1839, then aged seventy-two years, eight months and twenty-five days, and living in Windsor Township, York County, Pennsylvania.

      The following are the names of their children as found in the claim:

      John Migel born March 7, 1789 Elisabeda born March 3, 1791 Johannes born October 8, 1792 Kaderina born July 20, 1794 Maria born March 18, 1797 Rebecka born April 29, 1799 Sofyia born January (?) 23, 1802 Machtdelena born August 11, 1805"

      In 1941, the Rev. Edward C. Ruby, D.D., prepared a paper titled "Data Concerning Several Branches of the SCHLOTT, SLOAT, FAMILIES IN THE UNITED STATES (York, Pennsylvania). He noted that Johan Adam Schlott arrived on the ship "Union" from Rotterdam, and qualified on September 30, 1774. He cites the Penna. Archives, 2nd series, 17th Vol.---Immigrants.

      He further noted that the Pennsylvania census of 1790 contains the names of- Michael Slutt -1-4-4 (4 sons under 16 and three daughters) Adam Slutt -1-1-1 (1 son under 16).

      His paper supports the children listed above as children of Adam and Catharina. He obtained their names and birthdates from records at the Canadochly Lutheran Church in York, Pennsylvania.

      He also wrote that Adam Schlott's Will is recorded at the York County Court House. In the will, which was made on August 25, 1832, and probated on September 3, 1833, the following children were mentioned: Michael; Elizabeth, wife of Jacob Liphart; John; Catharine, wife of John Kramer; Anna Maria, wife of George Atting; Rebecca, wife of Wm. Matthias; Sophia, wife of George Dellinger; and Magdelena, wife of Adam Kromling.

      The Slothower family of York County are descendants of Niclaus Schlotthauer, b. abt 1730 of Hesse Cassel, Germany and his wife Anna Elisabeth. Many of the family changed their name to Schlott and Sloat.

      Niclaus and Anna Elisabeth had the following children:

      Heinrich Anthon Schlotthauer, b. 14 Oct 1753 chr. at Sherman's (St. David's) Union in West Manheim Twp, York, PA. Maria Christina Schlotthauer, b. 23 Dec 1755 chr. at Sherman's Union Johan Michael Schlotthauer, chr. 26 Jun 1757 (Rev. Jacob Lischey's Record) Christinia Elisabetha Schlotthauer, b. 2 Apr 1759 chr. at Sherman's Union Anna Margreth Schlotthauer, chr. 10 May 1761 (Rev.
