Hiram Slone's name as having been an alias? My dad is a descendent of both Shadrach Hall Slone (thru his dad) and of Isom Adkins Slone/Sloan (thru his mom). My family has an oral tradition that Wm. Hiram Slone was actually "Wm. Augustus Bowles", a white man, born in Maryland, who became a war leader of the southeast Indians who were fighting with the British during the American Revolution. After the war, Mary Alice came to remote Knott County, KY with her family, as a price was on their heads. Have you, or any other Slone descendents, heard anything about this? My family didn't talk about this with outsiders, for fear of reprisals, but I feel that enough time has gone by, after 225 years....
