I have a 1985 FGS from Juanita Reynolds of Brandon FL. that I found at the National Genealogical Soc. for James C. Sloan and wife Susan H. Bowers. She list a dau Elizabeth b. c1831? with a spouse of ---- Douglas. In the 1850 Cenus, James & Susan have a dau Charlotte E. Sloan age 19. My notes refer to a will abstract naming the children, however, I was unable to find my copy of the abstract. An interesting side note. The FGS list the husband of James' dau Mary Ann Sloan as Allison DEWEESE. For me this line is ANOTHER early James Sloan line of Mecklenburg Co. NC. of unknown origin. James was m. to a Sarah and he d. abt Apr 1772 Normal assortment of children named John, James, Robert, David, Mary, Sarah & Nancy. And liked to m. the Curry girls. Does anyone know anything about origin of this family? Please don't tell me they are from Lancaster Co. PA.!!
