Of course, the thing that jumps out is Fergus Sloan being the executor of this will of Thomas Sloan. WHAT'S THE CONNECTION???? I've never seen a Thomas listed as a son of Fergus anyplace. Has everyone overlooked this? If Thomas is connected to Fergus then that info would appear to be in conflick with an Article "Some Descendants of Caleb Sloan" by Mamie Chambers Sawer, pub in Duplin Co. Historical Society Magazine "Footprints" issue #44, 1 Feb 1992. Sawer list John b. c1706 w/son David, plus 12 other siblings]{no ref. cited} including this Thomas of Wilkes Co. NC. In my 1790 census notes I have Thomas's son Samuel listed as Jr. in 1790. family code 1,1,1 Also listed is another Samuel Sloan, family Code 1,1,4, I believe this Samuel is the one from Iredell that m. Eliz Patterson, went to Limestone Co. AL. and d. in Smith Co. Tn. (son of Archibald) Does anyone from the Fergus, Archibald or Caleb "Clans" have anything to add?
