Hi Kerry, I am sorry but I haven't noticed that name in the book, it is not indexed so hard to say exactly. It isn't a name I am familiar with, but then I am no expert either. I think the book is out of print but you may pick it up somewhere, my daughter found mine at a clearing sale in Castlemaine. Do you have connections with Benambra? Someone on the List may also be able to help you .

Benambra Books. Hi Listers, I have the book Pioneers of the Omeo District by Jane Vince Pendergast in which there are many references to the Sloans.
