I wish I could find more information on our Margaret Alexander Sloan. Some of her children's death certificates have her name as Margaret Clark and others as Margaret Alexander.. but family history says it was Alexander. I rather suspect she is closely related to the public figure, Isaac Alexander, in said county. Her first son was William W. Sloan, <my g grandfather> b. NC; and 2nd son was Isaac Alexander Sloan, b. KY. The rest of her children were born in KY.. but the entire family migrated to Miller Co MO after about 18 or 20 years in KY. They are buried in Miller Co. MO. There have been several theories on her maiden surname. Was she married before or was Clark a middle name? I am open to suggestions too...I have made copies of land transferrals in this county, but so far nothing that would direct me to her parents. Mary: Perhaps you could comment on this information. Any help appreciated.. by anyone!! << Subj: Sloan/Slone & Alexander of Mecklenburg Co. NC. Date: 1/16/99 8:38:30 AM Mountain Standard Time From: fmitchel@panama.phoenix.net (Franklin E.

Isaac Alexander being the father of Benjamin & Margaret is new info for me. My "gut" feeling is that the answers are somewhere in Mecklenburg Co. NC. My info on Alexanders are just bits and pieces as they married into the various Sloans of Mecklenburg Co. NC.
