The exact location is not known but it was the home place of Captain David Sloan and his wife, Susannah Majors Sloan, in what was called Old Pendleton District. It was supposed to be near the Seneca River and was later referred to as “Sloan’s Ferry”. As directed in his will, dated October 1821, Captain Sloan was to be buried at his home place, along with other family members. Years later the area was slated to be flooded by Lake Hartwell. The S.C. Corp of Engineers Hartwell Project made plans to remove graves that were in the area to be flooded. Their records show an order was filed for disinterment and reinternment of bodies buried in the designated area. The court order was executed October 31, 1959 (Civil Action #2650) in District Court for the Western District of S.C., and work began sometime after that date. Among the many cemeteries in that area, the Sloan Cemetery (T-2024-C) was slated for reinternment of six graves, that of Captain David Sloan, originally buried in 1826; Susan Majors Sloan, buried 1853; Elizabeth Sloan Stribling, buried 1849; Jesse Stribling, (date of burial is difficult to read, but he died in 1841); Mary Sloan, buried 1820, (this would be David Sloan, Jr’s daughter); and “Infant Sloan” with unknown burial date. They would be relocated to New Andersonville Baptist Church Cemetery in Anderson Co, S.C., (now called Andersonville Cemetery). A diligent search was made by the Corp of Engineers to locate next of kin and Grave Removal Permits were obtained in each possible instance. According to S.C. GenWeb Archives, article on “The Sloan Plantation Cemetery”, a relative, Thomas (Seaborn) Sloan, was instrumental in relocating these graves to Andersonville Cemetery. However, the article erroneously states the graves were moved in 1928, which conflicts with the Corp of Engineer’s records showing it was after October of 1959. Although the Sloan Cemetery is now under the waters of Lake Hartwell, it remains the original burial site of several Sloan family members. Sources for information: S.C. Corp of Engineers; S.C. GenWeb Archives, article entitled “The Sloan Plantation Cemetery”; Keowee Courier article dated 7/26/1911 for home place location; Captain Sloan’s will dated 10/29/1821; and relative, Richard Allen.
