Much of the info on John's descendants comes courtesy of Jann Woodard of Benton, AR .

Elizabeth's death may have been from complications from the birth of William. Jesse died shortly after his marriage to Elizabeth.

186. Charlotte Jane "Charity" BAZE

Civil War pension records indicate she had another child, a Columbia Maude Ross.

715. Hiram ROSS

Civil War death.

Abel BLACK

He had two daughters from an earlier marriage. When he died those two girls, Sarah and Isabelle, lived with Charity.

192. George Whitfield SHULTZ

She was the daughter of Edmund and Elizabeth Tidwell.

207. Sybelia SHULTS

Sybelia had a rough experience shortly after the birth of her third child, Charlie. In those days a mother stayed in bed for nine days after delivery and started getting up on the tenth day. Sybelia was still in bed with her new-born son and her two-year old Samuel and four-year old Milton near by - she was alone with the children when a gang of maybe a dozen outlaws came to the house, robbed it of all the food and everything else they wanted and then set fire to the house with mother and children in it. One outlaw took mercy on them and dragged the featherbed out the door and into the yard where he dumped the mother and child from the bed, taking it too, and left them there in the yard with the other little boys. The house burned and everything the Sloan family had.

James Barton fought in the Civil War and never came home to his family.

723. Milton SLOAN

Never married. When he was a young man he got malaria and had a congestive chill so bad a doctor was sent for. The doctor gave Milton so much quinine that it affected his eyes and he went blind.

210. Mary Maribia SHULTS

Quoting from Audrey Berchdorf's e-mail of 7 Sep 1999, "I have a copy of a letter to her sister Sybelia telling of her hasty marriage (to Robert Desha) and how happy she is. Also a copy of a poem this sweet-talking scoundrel wrote to her about how much he loves her. It is really very lovely. Anyway, before too long a letter comes for Robert from "up North" asking him to come home to his wife and family. This must have caused quite an uproar and perhaps explains her marriage in 1858 to E.D. Miller who was the overseer of her father's plantation - something I think was not an appropriate match in those days as the overseer was not in her social strata. They had a long marriage and many children."

In 1878 the Miller family left Arkansas and moved to Texas with probably three prairie schooners (wagons). They settled along the Brazos River near what is now Seymour, TX.

729. Mary Francis MILLER

732. "Bud Jimmy" MILLER

Died shortly after the family arrived in Texas.
