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.
