Family went to Australia, never heard of again.  Possibly died in Australia.
This note was written by Clara Sloan Smith,  on the back of a family group sheet:
"Rachel Sloan Grames and Eliza Sloan Blunt went to Australia about 1873 or 4.  I am still looking for their families.  Have some of their names.  If you are near San Fransico it would be good to look up shipping records about that time.  I have had some research done in Sydney, Australia but got nothing.

If you would like to look this up I would appreciate it very much.  the dates could even be later as I think they were both in Pittsburgh when father came to America in 1872 or 3."  (End of note of Clara S. Smith)

The ordinance data for Eliza could not be found in the church records.

A  form from the Registrar-General, New South Wales - Result of Search,  30th August 1962:
"I hereby certify that search has been made in the records of this Department, but no trace can be found of the registration from 1890 to 1920 inclusive of the death of George Blunt, husband of Eliza Blunt formerly Sloan; nor from 1890 to 1920 inclusive of the death of Eliza Blunt, wife of George Blunt."

[Note by Ruth S. Gifford:  On the "Australian Vital Records Index 1788-1905, I found
several George Blunt's - and others that list the father as George and the mother as Elenor and Ellen.]

Discrepancy in date of death with that as noted on headstone and other family records.
If the headstone was misread and was 1857, therefore the date of 18 Sep 1841 for birth is right.
(The headstone was noted to be very worn in 1976  by Ruth Smith Gifford  at the Parish of Bangor Church Cemetery. ) Maggie Robb gave the date of death as 1859.
Some records indicate date of birth as 19 Sep 1841.

However,  a letter written by Richard W. Smith indicates 14 Aug 1921, in South Africa.

In October 1973 Maggie Robb visited with relatives in California and gave the following information to Ellen Bunting and Margaret Woolford (see Sloan/Reid Newsletter #9, March 1974):
"Mary Sloan Carlisle had three sons.  They all went to South Africa to work in the mines.  When she was left a widow, she also went to South Africa to live, taking her niece, Anna Louise Anderson Sloan Robinson, with her.  The last they heard from her was in 1920, so assumed she passed away.
     John Carlisle, her oldest son, was in World Ward I and was gased. He was sent back to South Africa and didn't get much better so he came back home to Scotland.  He died three weeks after he arrived in Scotland.  He was unmarried.
     Robert Hugh Carlisle, her seond son, married a girl from Australia.  They had no children and he died in South Africa. The two sons, they think, were buried in Boxburg (North) South Africa.
     William James Carlisle, the third son, never married as far as the family knew. He died in South Africa.  The two sons, they think, were buried in Boxburg (North) South Africa."

Hugh Russel Sloan used the birthdate of 5 Aug 1857 all his life and on all Church records.  However, the Bangor 1st Presby.Church records indicate 5 Aug 1856.  Also, his sister indicated 1856 as the year of his birth.  On the front of the Manti Temple Index Card the date is shown as 5 Aug 1857, on the back of the card the date is shown as 5 Aug 1856.

Birthdate: A letter from Hugh Russel Sloan's sister to him notes his birthdate as 5 Aug 1856.
Birthdate: The  Register of the Bangor 1st Presbyterian Church indicates 5 Aug 1856.
Therefore it is determined to use the 1856 birthdate instead of 1857 as he used during his lifetime in many church records, histories and patriarchal blessing, etc.  The Index Card  (No. 1222, Book A-lvg Pg.34) of the Manti Temple Records, on the front, shows 5 Oct. 1857 as birthdate and the back of the card shows 5 Aug 1856.

In July of 1873 Hugh Russel Sloan (about 16 years of age) sailed for America on the ship, Samaisia (Samaria??).  The crossing took 13 days. After landing in America, he went to Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, and then came on to Salt Lake City with his sisters, Ellen MaWhinney and Agnes Kelly, to work with his brother, John, who was already in Salt Lake City. John was a boiler maker.
