Hello, Sloans. Couple of things. First, I wrote to the SLOAN Valve Company a couple of weeks ago and requested their history page. While telling the PR person some personal info, we struck up a nice little "friendship". When she mailed me the history, she included a free SLOAN hat. I was so surprised. Along with the hat, she included a merchandise sheet that you can buy additional SLOAN stuff. (I did this a few years ago for my mom, who loved having a SLOAN coffee mug, pen, portfolio and sweats in the nursing home!) Now, they have other nice things, so if you're interested in buying something with your name on it, the SLOAN Valve Company sells them. Now, onto my family history. I'm looking for the parents of Joseph Francis SLOAN, who emigrated from Ireland in 1868 and moved to Dayton OH. He married Elizabeth BLACK (I think here in Dayton) and had several children, including Mark C., Elizabeth Mildred, Gilbert F., and my grandfather Joseph Daniel SLOAN. Any info about my ggrandfather's parents, or any of these siblings will be appreciated. Are we related? Sandy Sloan

Hope this is OK to send as we need to be able to visit the Sloanl-Slone (plus other spellings) web sites!

Hi Folks, I'm not really sure what prompted the action, but last week Rootsweb presented me with 3 NEW mail lists to manage, The SLOAN-L, SLOANE-L and SLONE-L list, which included another 21 GenConnect Boards. I guess somewhere along the line I stoodup when I should have shutup! It took several days of automated responses before I was finally able to chat with a warm blooded person and explain that we really didn't need 3 different lists because of variations on spelling. She agreed to delete the SLOAN-L list in favor of our already established SLOAN-SLONE-L list. However, the SLONE and SLOANE list would stay because they were valid "different" spellings. So, I agreed to maintain all three lists, figuring this is the best way to ensure that all the messages get to the right audience. So, my first piece of advise is that EVERYONE should subscribe to the SLOAN-SLONE-L list. This list has 258 subscribers on the main list and the digest combined. This is the BIG audience. Right now the SLOANE-L list has 4 members and the SLONE-L list has 3. So, The 3 new members [you know who you are :-)] need to go to SLOAN-SLONE-Request@rootsweb.com and subscribe. I hope everyone understands my point of view on this issue. I know each group takes pride in their own spelling, but if you've done any research at all, you know that the spelling is totally arbitrary prior to 1900 with the start of birth certificates and Social Security cards. GOOD NEWS!! Along with Rootsweb re-vamping of the system, they created a page I call the SLOAN-SLONE RESOURCE PAGE. Go to: http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/s/l/SLOAN/ There are some really great search engines for Sloans (substitute Slone, Sloane if necessary) on this page. There are two search engines for the Sloan-Slone mailing list archives. The first one can't seem to find anything, the 2nd one works fine. It's probably easier for you to experiment then it is for me to explain how they work. Check it out!

Hi Folks, Mucho thanks to Ellie & Lyle for finding additional info on Sam. Since I can't find a Biography for Sam, I started my own, go to: http://www.panama.phoenix.net/~fmitchel/notable.html#Architect It's a start, and a little rough. Don't forget "I ain't no writer" Wonder why "Longwood" doesn't have a website?

Sorry folks, had I checked this website further, I would have never sent it.. Seems this guy has some "censored" info on his homepage.. Again my apologies. Ellie

Do take a look at this website.. It tells about Samuel Sloan, the architect, as well as other famous Sloans.. <G>.. Hope you enjoy the music also..... Ellie Stites Swanger EllieSS@aol.com

Kaite & others, Below is piece of Samuel Sloan's thanks to imput from Lyle & Ken Sloan and the LDS site. Be advised, I've run into several conflicts of info and I'm still trying to find descendants of this line. I saw an excellent show about the Longwood house on the A&E channel, it was either part of he Mansions of America series or some program by Bob Villa. If anyone runs across a bio on Samuel, I'd like to add him to my notable Sloans feature.

HI... This is a URL of a SLOAN cousin....Senator B. G. Dyess........ http://senate.legis.state.la.us/Dyess/ kaite....

HI.... Yesterday I bought a book called: Longwood: A New Idea by William L. Whitewell, University Press of Mississippi, Jackson, copyright 1975 ........ I worked in Natchez, Mississippi for four years and lived on the Louisiana side of the Mississippi River. While there, I toured a lot of the old homes, went on tours, etc. The one house that was ALWAYS my favorite was called the LONGWOOD.........and...I was allways soooooo amazed at the architectical design. It was so far ahead of it's time ..... especially in the south. It was like no other of the old homes in the area. Sadly, the house was never finished because one day in April 1861, the construction of the Longwood stoppped. The Civil War drove Dr. Nutt (the owner) skilled artisans away from Mississippi back to their homes in Philadelphia. This rush was necessary while transportation was still available to return home. The local workers also had to halt their work because they rushed to the Confederate cause. The Longwood House .... today.... stands essentially as it was left in 1861 ....the tools dropped by the frightened workers still lying where they fell....... This place was an unfulfilled dream.....an architectural curiosity....two miles from downtown Natchez, Mississippi. Dr. Haller Nutt..... was a cotton planter, a physician, and a scientist..... He was both wealthy and cultured...... As I have stated, I have visited this home more times than I can remember.....there is something that has kept drawing me back there. The architectural design was just so different from the other homes.....and....after buying this book yesterday...I know have learned some of the reasons ..... Nutt's vision began with his perusal of The Model Architect, SAMUEL SLOAN's book of house designs published in 1852. The 49th design was "An Oriental Villa". Samuel SLOAN wrote that this particular style of architecture was not widely known in the US and had not been adopted for any public buildings and for onlly a few residences. He noted that such a villa should be of generous size. The book stated that Nutt's imagination must have been stimulated as he read: "There are, however, some cases where thee objections are of little force; and many persons, contemplating building, seek for a design, at once original, striking, appropriate and picturesque." SLOAN continued with a lengthy description of the origins of the style going from the "Arabians" via the Gothic to Spain, "Cordova and the Alhambra as described by Irving," ................... Basically the house is an octagonal house. SAMUEL SLOAN did not origniate the octagonal house; buit, he ranked among the leaders of a minor movement to refine the concept behind it and make it practical. Haller Nutt and his wife, Julia Augusta Williams, seem to have sought out SLOAN during one of their trips north to visit their daughters. It was stated that SLOAN must have been impressed by the plantation owner's grand ways. NOTE: Dr. Nutt died at the age of 48 (1864) from pneumonia. He and Julia had eleven children..... Julia Nutt lived and died at Longwood in 1897.. A daughter, also named Julia Nutt (never married) lived in the house until 1932 when she died.. A grandson, Werritt Williams Ward, lived in the house until his death in 1939. In 1963, slighly more than 104 years after the death of Haller Nutt, three of his grandchildren sold Longwood to mr. and mrs. Kelly E. McAdams of Austin, Texas. In January, 1970, through the McAdams Foundation, Longwood was deeded over to the Pilgrimage Garden Club of Natchez in order that the structure might be preserved along with other famous Natchez buildings in the club's care. The book goes on with more detail about SAMUEL SLOAN and his influence on architectural designs..... There were about 45 letters concerning Longwood passed between SLOAN and Dr. Nutt in the period 1860-61. The architect's communications usually arrived on his business letter head. SLOAN's stationery gave not onlly his address, 152 South Fourth Street, Philadeloopha, but listed three of his writings on architecture as well --"Sloan's City and Suburban Architecture", "Sloan's Constructive Architecture", and "Model Architect". In May, 1861, the correspondence began to reflect the disruption in communications occasioned by the war. In a letter written in June, SLOAN remarked that he had not heard from Dr. Nutt in four weeks, though letters between the two customarily reached their destinations in a week or less. Correspondence soon after halted altogether. The SLOAN-Nutt letters have been preserved in the Huntington Library in San Marino, California. I wrote the above to give a preface to the intense design that SAMUEL SLOAN created...... I know it's impossible for me to *paint* a picture of the house and the designs.... but.... I have always been so impressed with the house...and...now since I have the book .... I feel this other type of impression...... The man was a SLOAN!!!!!!!!! I do not have any idea who SAMUEL SLOAN's lines are....but...maybe this will be mine someday and if not...he may belong to one of you... The book was $12.95 at Books-A-Million...... Hope this helps someone.... Kaite...

I found 5 Sloan listed in the surname index of a rare old Cherokee genealogy book at http://members.aol.com/rarebk At the site, they have the surname index of this rare old Cherokee genealogy book called "Old Cherokee Families and Their Genealogy," with lots of English names, they have posted the 1835 Cherokee census, and a Cherokee genealogy tutorial that shows you how to conduct effective Cherokee genealogy research. Also, they have posted the full index of a book that shows people who sued in the 1800's for Cherokee citizenship. Once at the site, go to BOOKLISTS, then scroll down till you see the books. For the tutorial, it will be about halfway down the page, and then you can invoke it. The 1835 Cherokee census is posted within the tutorial.

Well, I seem to have found pretty good documentation on the William Slone line (PA/OH), except for the branch that includes me. That is, I know Josiah (b. ca 1796/1797 Hamilton Cty., OH) was son of William and Elizabeth Prickett. But my tree branch seems to end with Josiah. I know that he had at least one child (Robert S.) who had three sons (Allen, George and Nebraska Bill-my line). And Robert S. married Mary Frances Irwin in Ohio 1840's, before moving on to Indiana and Illinois. But can't find ancestors of Mary Frances Irwin. But can't find anything on Josiah's wife (besides first name Anna), nor whether Robert S. had siblings. And I don't know where and when Josiah died. Nebraska Bill (my line) married Belle A. Hensley in Effingham Cty., IL. I know they had at least one child (my grandfather Allen Irwin) but did they have any others? Any Slones/Irwins/Hensleys/Hirtzels with any info? Thanks. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
