His brother Joseph Sloan ( my ancestor) was also in Hopkins Co., Ky at this time. by 1820 he had moved to Edwards Co., Ill as recorded in the 1820 Census for the county. and sometime after that he moved to McLean Co., Illinois. In 1832 he filed for his pension in McLean Co., IL. By 1840 Thoms is listed in Wayne Co., Illinois with 1 M age 70-80, 1 M 15-20, 1 F 30-40, 1 F 5-10 and 1 F 0-5. According to the Hist. of Wayne and Clay Co., IL he was about 79 years of age in 1840. He died 4 Mar 1842 McLean Co., IL and is buried at Bovee Cemetery. There is a memorial marker for Thomas Sloan in the Veteran's section of the Maple Hill Cemetery. He left a widow but name was not given. Apparently, she did not file for a pension through Thomas as there is no record in the archives. I have a photocopy of the original pension for Thomas Sloan.
