There is a Sloan-Stratton-Chapin family bible transcribed c. 1931 for the Michigan DAR that links a number of Sloans whose relationship has been otherwise undocumented. I am transcribing some of it here because as far as I can tell, no one else has referenced or posted this. I found it Monday while searching for ancestors of Olive Sloan Lyon (1784-1863). Anyone who believes they may be related to this family and checks out the link should keep reading ahead, as there is information about Dewey ancestors several generations back.
