Does anynone know about the family of John Slavin/Slevin BEFORE he came to the US? I've been told he was born in 1723, was shanghied onto a ship while a student in Dublin (Trinity College?)in 1740. He jumped ship in NY, eventually settling in Meadowdale, VA where he died in 1802. Any info about his life/family before coming to America would be appreciated.
