Elizabeth Sloan<\/p>\n

What we know and don\u2019t know<\/p>\n

March 2009<\/p>\n

The Elizabeth Sloan that I refer to above was born 4 April 1746, possibly in Lancaster Co. Pennsylvania, or in Virginia.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Elizabeth\u00a0 first appears in a record in Rowan Co. NC in 1766, when a marriage bond is executed for her marriage on 26 March 1766, to Andrew Morrison, born 9 Jan 1745, in PA, , son of William and Margaret (Hays?) Morrison.\u00a0 Signatures on the bond are John Frohock, James Patterson and Walter Carruth, none of \u00a0whom appear to be a relative of Elizabeth.\u00a0 It is spelled SLOAN on the marriage bond.<\/p>\n

Andrew and Elizabeth were married in Rowan Co., \u00a0\u00a0and she bore 8 known children in that county:<\/p>\n

William Hays\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 George Milton<\/p>\n

Rachel\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Elizabeth<\/p>\n

Margaret\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Mary<\/p>\n

Rebecca\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Andrew Sloan<\/p>\n

It is interesting to note that all of the male children in this family were given middle names, William\u2019s is \u00a0Hays, believed to be his paternal grandmother\u2019s \u00a0maiden name,\u00a0 George \u2018s was Milton for which there is no known connection at this time, and Andrew\u2019s was his mother\u2019s maiden name. This is at a time before middle names were common among the Scots-Irish. \u00a0\u00a0This middle naming pattern was about 2 generations earlier than it is customary to find middle names, but soon became common among the Scots-Irish community. The female children were not accorded middle names.<\/p>\n

Elizabeth and Andrew migrated to TN ca 1810 \u2013 probably directly to Franklin Co.<\/p>\n

Location of children at Andrew\u2019s death in 1815 is being investigated.<\/p>\n

Andrew\u2019s will, dated 22 August 1815, written and probated in Franklin County TN:\u00a0 Abstracted in Franklin County Wills 1808-1875, Ingmire.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo son George I leave $20 for his troubles in settling my affairs to collecting debts in Carolina the property which has before this date come into the hands of son Andrew.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI will that the first Hundred dollars received from Carolina on my account shall be given to son Andrew S. to assist in paying for his expenses in behalf of my family\u201d<\/p>\n

The notation regarding an \u201cestate in Virginia\u201d is possibly a clue as to the earlier life of Elizabeth.<\/p>\n
