  The name Slaunchville revolves upon an early dialect word. The land in the vicinity was of a swampy nature, thus making traveling difficult. A traveler upon asking direction would be given an answer such as 'Go in slauchways and keep going catterwampus.' Slauchways seems to refer to an indirct, edgewise method of approach. The word Slauchville was supposed to refer to the originally swampy surroundings. (IA-T6)
