Apache May Slaughter (c. 1895 – 1900) was the adopted daughter of Tombstone, Arizona sheriff John Slaughter and his wife Viola.

Apache May was found by John Slaughter as he was following a group of Apaches in Mexico.^[1] She had been abandoned to her luck by her natural parents. John Slaughter returned to Arizona with Apache May. When she was adopted by the couple, she also became Daniel Boone's great great great granddaughter.

Apache May's name came from her background, and her month of birth. Calculating her age, the Slaughters were convinced she was born in the month of May of that year.
