According to Jim Dillard . . . "After the Battle of San Jacinto [sic], George Slaughter returned to his home in East Texas and became engaged to 18-year-old Sarah Mason. Their wedding plans were delayed since there was no civil law yet established in the new Republic of Texas . . . After completing his service with the Texas Army, he returned home and on Oct. 12, 1836, married Miss Sarah Mason, who was five months pregnant at the time. The marriage is reported to have been the first one sanctioned by the new government of the Republic of Texas. . . . When their first child was born on Feb. 11, 1837, they named him Christopher Columbus Slaughter in commemoration of their wedding date (Columbus Day)."
