This was 26 Feb 1778 when all of Tn. was part of Washington Co. NC. Archibald was not able to take immediate possession of theland on Nine Mile Creek.

This was all listed as Washington Co. NC/TN. later to become Greene Co. Tn. Knox Co. & Blount Co. Tn. were later formed from Greene Co. All this makes it difficult to determine where Archibald's farm(s) were actuallylocated and when he moved to his original entry in Blount Co. Lick creek appears to be located in what is now Greene Co. Tn.Archibald's farm on Nine Mile Creek was not surveyed until 10 Aug 1782 when his sons William & John served as chainbearers and sons Alexander, William & John had neighboring adjacent farms. In 1787? Archibald receive a passport to enter Cherokeelands and remove his belongings, this would have been from his Nine Mile Creek farm. In 1788 when the Cherokee were on the rampage Sloans were listed as one of the families in the Houston's station when it came under attack.

Archibald did not actually get clear title to his Grant [#1072] until 27 Nov 1793. *** Tennessee Passports John Cowan, Robert Cowan, Archibald Trimble, William Adams, James Montgomery, Hugh Montgomery, James Montgomery Junr., Alexander Montgomery, William Hutton, Josiah Hutton, Archibald Slone, William Slone, James Martin, James Gealy, DavidEdmonson, William Condren, & Samuel Handley.
