Person:Samuel Sloan (10)

Could his father have been Archibald Sloan I or II: from County Antrim Ireland from Philadelphia, Chester Co PA Seargent in the Revolutionary War

discepancy exists as to whether there are 2 Sam Sloans or one. Jennie Sloan Houser reported to the paper that Samuel Sloan was born in 1756 and died in 1846; first wife's sons John T. born Oct 1805, and William born 3/1808. His second wife was Elizabeth Van Horne who was born 4/23/1794 in Meadville; she died at Sandwich IL 7/16/1866.

If we believe the single Sloan report then Sam was 56 at the birth of his first son with EVH, and 79 at the birth of his last child Sarah. I think it highly unlikely that there is one Sam Sloan. I believe there were 2: thr senior (this record) was a revolutionary war vet while his son Sam (II) was in the War of 1812.
