Additional Comments:
Richard Sloan was the husband of Rosannah Boyd (daughter of Robert Boyd and 
Rosannah Stewart) and came from Newberry County, South Carolina to Meriwether 
County, Georgia with the Boyd family in the early 1830s. Richard’s name has been 
seen spelled both as “Sloan” and “Slone.” Even his children used both spellings. 
His father-in-law, Robert Boyd, owned Land Lot No. 269, just north of Richard’s 
land. Present-day Sullivan Mill Road now divides the two lots. Deeds in the 
office of the Superior Court Judge of Meriwether County also show Richard 
purchased Land Lot No. 279 (adjacent to and just east of No. 268). No record has 
been found of the disposition of this lot
