I have recently discovered that Fergus Sloan is a direct ancestor and from a few messages that I have seen on this list, it seems that his family is well known. Before I go wandering around in dark corners, could someone mail me privately information and/or sources to information on this family. I gather his father's name was George and he had a son Fergus. Were there any known siblings or cousins that may have been in NC? Thanks, john. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= John B. Lisle <jbl@tqsi.com> P.O.
