Surnames: Sloan, Mitchell, Vaughan, Stribling Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/lh.2ADE/339.1 Message Board Post: I believe that this Elijah Sloan is the son of William Sloan 1752-1837 who was born in Ireland and lived in MA and NY state. Elijah married Naomi/Naoma Allen of Massachusetts. But as the baptism of any of William's children remains the mystery of the century, I am unable to prove this. Wm states in his Rev War Pension Application in 1831 that he lived in Indiana with one of his sons for the last 18 years but does not name the son. I have all kinds of evidence but no PROOF.
