Anyone want to venture a guess???
I was always under the impression that great grandmother Elizabeth Sloan Stewart(1865-1952) was the only surviving child of James Sloan(1830-1890).
Our Elizabeth's mother died when she was only 5 years old....James remarried to a woman a bit younger than himself and not to much older than Elizabeth...
According to the 1880 census, James was 50 years old, his new wife Laura was 22 and his son, Arthur was 2 years old.... Elizabeth, then, 15 was living in New Hampshire on a farm as a servant...Hmmmmm!!!!
Something I discovered that James and Elizabeth (Elliott) had two other children that did not survive childhood...and one was a son named Arthur.
So, yes, there were two Arthur's.
In the Fitchburg Sentinel is where I found Our Uncle Arthur and there will be more on him later
I was always told there were no other siblings for her...anyone else know something different?
