They have a new golf course here and yesterday I looked at all 18 holes but did not find any ancestors or relatives.
I did go back and find the grave of Benjamin W. Sloan Sr. who died in 1843.
Went to Corbin, Ky today to see Col. Sanders original cafe. No ancestors there either.
Probably should have left today for Ohio but this did give me some time to relax, after 27 holes yesterday. Also found out that the Sloans that are having the reunion in Fraklin, Ky this weekend are not related to our Sloans so no sense trying to go to that. I will leave tomorrow and it will take me about 5 hrs to get to Jackson, Ohio which is close to where Daniel Halterman moved to (Beaver Pike) probably in the early 1800's. His son, Levi Halterman was born there in 1818 and died in 1877. His son, Henry J. Halterman is the one that moved to Shubert, Nebraska.
The Bryan family also lived in Ohio about the same time and I found out today that their is a John Bryan State Park. Not sure if he is related to us but we have a John Bryan born in Pa but moved to Polk Ohio in 1777. His son was John Sale Bryan that moved to South Dakota. The park was named for a John Bryan that was born in 1838 which is probably a generation down from our John Bryan.
