I am researching William Henry Sloan b. April 3, 1886 and his wife Lillie Delora Cain b. March 2, 1882, they lived in Plant City. Willie died there in Nov. 11, 1973 and Lille died there Oct. 30, 1970. They are both buried in Memorial Park Cem.

Known children of this couple are: Effie, Edith, Homer, Emory, Ellis, and Irma.

My Sloans came from Statesboro, Bulloch Co., GA. They came to FL in the early 1900's first settling in Sampson City, Bradford Co., FL and then later moved to Plant City. There were very few Sloans in Bulloch Co., GA and those that were there were there in the very early 1800's.

Searching for information about my wife's great grandmother, Martha AYERS, born 1830, probably in Florida, died 1855-1858 probably in Hillsborough County, Florida. One family tradition states that she was the wife of a Native American, perhaps Cherokee. Another family tradition states that she was a Native American Seminole?) and was born in a village at the north end of Lake Hancock, Polk County, Florida. She may well have been Creek. She had two children, Martha, born 1848, and Maxfield, born 1850. In the 1850 census for Hillsborough County, Florida, she was living in the Ichepuckasassa Settlement with her new husband, Christopher ZEBENDON and the two children. Any help would be much appreciated.

Also searching;
ZEBENDON.
