Can anyone help me with the ancestors of William SLOAN!?! I have the
following Descendants of William Sloan:

Generation No. 1

1.  WILLIAM1 SLOAN  He married ELIZABETH1.

Notes for WILLIAM SLOAN:

Date: Friday, 18 February 2000
From: Frank msg: I have this William Sloan and his siter Catherine as
siblings of "Pvt/Capt" David Sloan (of County Down Ireland) later of
Old Pendleton, Anderson County, South Carolina. This is the first time
I've heard  of William Sloan and Mary's daughter, Catherine. William
Sloan did have two females in his household in 1790. I'm pretty sure
there is a William, jr., and possibly sons David and  John, based on
some real estate transactions.

Children of WILLIAM SLOAN and ELIZABETH are:
2. i. WILLAIM2 SLOAN.
3. ii. DAVID SLOAN, b. Abt. 1753, County Down, Ulster, Scotland; d.
October 09, 1826, Old Pendleton District, SC.
 iii. CATHERINE SLOAN1.


Generation No. 2

2.  WILLAIM2 SLOAN (WILLIAM1)  He married MARY PERKINS1 in Wilkes
County, North Carolina.

Child of WILLAIM SLOAN and MARY PERKINS is:
i. CATHERINE3 SLOAN1, b. February 22, 1788, Greensboro, Alabama (Hale
County)1; d. May 03, 1859, Greensboro, Alabama (Hale County)1; m. DR.
RICHARD H. HARRISON1; b. April 03, 1786, Richland, South Carolina1; d.
August 03, 1829, Greensboro, Alabama (Hale County)1.

Richard Harrison married Catherine SLoan, the daughter of Willaim
Sloan, who with his wife, Mary; his brother, David; and his sister
Catherine emigrated from Ireland and settled in South Carolina.
Richard's wife, Catherine, is said to have been a "beautiful,
brilliant and accomplished woman."

After Richard's death, Catherine managed the property and the family
together until the surviving children reached maturity. Catherine and
Richard, and three of their children, James, John and Claracy, who
died in their youth, are buried in the Harrison Family burying ground
on the plantation above Greensboro; and also Catherine's mother, Mary
Perkins Sloan, who died Mary Foster, she having married a second time.



Notes for CATHERINE SLOAN:
Richard and Catherine's first two children were born in South
Carolina; they then moved to Alabama and settled five miles above
Greensboro in Greene, now Hale, County. James, John and Claracy died
in their youth. The remaining eight children lived to maturity and
married. The lines of Elizabeth, Catherine Sloan and Josiah are
extinct.

Notes for DR. RICHARD H. HARRISON:
Richard Harriosn was born April 2, 1786, at "Woodland," the home of
his mother's brother, Wade Hampton, on the Congaree River, five miles
From Columbia, South Carolina. This house, the the property of Frank
Hampton, Wade's grandson, was burned by Sherman's Army in 1865, after
having stood for almost 100 years.

Richard was educated for a physician and was a surgeon with the rank
of Colonel in teh army during the War of 1812, serving under Jackson
at New Orleans. He accumulated a handsome property in land and slaves,
which he left to his wife at his death, August 3, 1829, just before
the birth of his youngest child.[AtkinsGENEALOGY.FTW]

Notes for DAVID SLOAN:
Served as a Captain in North Carolina during the American Revolution.
Received a grant of 2100 acres in 1791 on the Seneca River in SOuth
Carolina.

Information of David Sloan, 1753-1826, Ulster and SC as per posting by
Ray P. Carter on GenForum Sloan Family Genealogy Forum dated March 29,
1999.

Beverly Shuler wrote: Mary "Polly" Perkins Sloan and her
Brother-in-law, David Sloan, had a lawsuit involving the slaves that
David Sloan was keeping for William (suit after William's death).
Polly won. David and Polly don't seem to have kept in touch after
that. Polly then married Josiah Foster, also believed to have been
From Pendleton, SC. A genealogist located the marriages of David Sloan
to Susannah Majors; William Sloan to Polly Perkins; and 1st) Catherine
Sloan to John Montgomery and 2nd) "Caty Mungummery" to John Cleveland,
all in or near 1784. Between 1784 and 1786, William and David and more
of their relatives, and including the Clevelands, moved to Franklin
County, Georgia. The land grants they received were adjoining ones on
Coneross and Martin's Creek. William had served as either a Captain or
a Lieutenant from Morgan District, Wilkes County, NC and David as a
Private. William got 400 acres and William got 200 acres as bounty for
their service. The STate of Georgia was granting land in both SOuth
Carolina and Georgia to Revolutionary War soldiers from North Carolina
who didn't get land in Tennessee. Benjamin Cleveland may have been the
leader of this group of settlers. In 1787, that part of Franklin
County, Georgia, which was between the Tugaloo and Keowee Rives, was
set off into South Carolina, Pendleton District. There seems to be no
record of a brother of William, David and Catherine named Benjamin.
David Sloan had a son named Benjamin Franklin Sloan who was prominent
in South Carolina; therefore, there have been many Benjamin Sloans
since. Searching the County Down List trying to find out the townland
that they came from in County DOwn, Ireland, and whether they were
Presbyterian, ARP or Church of Ireland (Episcopalian). Believes they
may have come from Comber or Killinchy Parish which is very close to
Comber on the Ards Peninsula.

NOTE: Beverly says that David Sloan ANd Susannah had 10 or more
children. She has 3 that Ray Carter did not list: William who died at
age 21 and WIlliam who married Eliza Hackett; Catherine; and James
Madison.
