Anyone have any ideas on this one??? Children of Daniel Sloan and Nancy Lanier #8 Linton Sloan, b 1850 married Virginia Merritt probably in Mascotte, Sumter Co., FL #9 Oregon Sloan, b 1852 Sumter Co., FL married abt. 1871, probably in Mascotte, Sumter Co., FL, Robert James Merritt, b. _____ d. 8 Oct 1899, Hillsborough Co., FL. Linton has been spelled 2 ways with a y and with I. My Merritt mystery: Could be Virginia and Robert are kin. Saw something some time ago that land was bought by a William in the area of Sumter (later called Lake) Co. My Geocity addy: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Lane/5455/index.html I have tried to break the families down. I only have one Merritt for sure so they are not separate yet.
