SLOAN, THOMPSON, CHALMERS, STEWART, SLOAN, LINDSEY, PARKINSON



Rev. Archibald S. SLOAN, of the Twentieth District, and son of James and

Jane (THOMPSON) SLOAN, was born in Newbury S. C., December 8, 1821.  He was

one of a family of eight children, only three of whom are living, viz.:

Rev. H. T., pastor of Cedar Springs and Long Cane, S. C., which position he

has filled for thirty-eight years; Mrs. Jane CHALMERS, of Newbury, S. C.;

and our subject.  The father of our subject was born in South Carolina in

1796, and was of Irish extraction.  He was a farmer by occupation, and was

married in 1819.  At the time of his death, which occurred in 1869, he was

the owner of about 800 acres of good land.  Mrs. SLOAN was a native of

South Carolina, born in 1803, and died in 1872.  Our subject received the

rudiments of his education in the schools of the neighborhood, but

subsequently entered Erskine College, South Carolina, where he took a

regular course, graduating in 1844.  In 1846 he was licensed to enter the

ministerial profession under the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church and

soon after emigrated to Lincoln County, and after moving around for some

time began his ministerial career at Prosperity, where he remained as

pastor for twenty-seven years.  March 14, 1848, he wedded Elizabeth J.

STEWART, a native of Lincoln County, born September 20, 1829, and to this

union were born seven children, six of whom are living, viz.:  Nora J.

(wife of H. T. SLOAN), Mary F. (Wife of John LINDSEY), James T., Olivia C.

(wife of E. H. PARKINSON), Thomas W. and Ebbie C.  Mr. SLOAN has a fine

farm in a good state of cultivation.  While yet preaching at Prosperity his

charge increased till he was compelled to abandon his practice at that

place, since which time he has been pastor at Bethel and New Hope;

virtually he has preached the gospel to the same people for forty years,

being among the earliest Christian workers.  In 1896 his son, Thomas W.,

graduated at Erskine College, South Carolina, the same place from where his

father graduated forty-two years previous.
