If ever there was an ancestor that I would to talk to it would be DAVID E. SLOAN (1791-1842) of Adair County, Missouri. My question for him would be, is it really true that the "KIRKS" had a feast for the men doing the surveying for the town that we know of today as Kirksville? As history books say it was going to be Sloansville. Question number 2, did you really own some slaves? David E. Sloan is my Great-great-grandfather. Would like to hear from some "SLOAN COUSINS," Harold Harold & Ruth Hartman Lightbody Researching: Lightbody, Sloan. Yates, Soper, Hartman, Fussner, Ticknor, Standish, Thompson, Harlan and a lot more. www.lightbodylegacy.com **************************************Check out AOL's list of 2007's hottest products.
