I don't have any Gillespie data, and I'm not a Sloat researcher, but did come across the Sloat surname recently.Rachel Ann Beattie (1835-1905), daughter of Robert Jackson Beattie who raised his family at Bloomfield, Oakland Co., MI, married a John Sloat.They are in Independence, Dist. 90 in the 1900 Oakland Co., MI census.John is listed as born Nov. 1827 in NJ.But, the Beattie's were in fact originally from Orange Co., NY.Rachel and John had at least one child, a son John born around 1858.That's pretty much all I have.Regards, Rod
