Hi Nancy, I don't know anything about Delilah, I am stuck myself on Deborah Sloan b-abt 1823 from the same area and time. She married Austin Kirby before 1839. They had Amanda, Mariah, Armanella, General H., Clinton, Alice, and Dewit. They moved to Gallatin County, IL and apparently died in that area. I was wondering if you might have come across any of them in your studies. They were in Smith County in 1840, Macon county in 1850. Armanella was born in Jackson County in 1845. It sounds to me like Delilah and Deborah are related. like sisters maybe.
