I didn't look up an estate file for Sloan - would have been a different film from the "H's"
But this note said that on 19 Nov 1821, Henry Sloan was appointed administrator of the estate of John Sloan.
This same webpage listed numbers of land transactions for John Sloan to include grants for the tracts sold to Jesse & Rosanna. It also listed a number of other children. There were obviously other Sloans living in Rowan Co - I saw no reason for all of the other children being placed in the family - there were no likely deeds to possible additional sons or sons-in-law, etc. John's father was a Henry, but I suspect that he also had a brother Henry. The extra children may have been misplaced. I think it very unusual that a man would give daughters land and not his sons.
There was a deed, 7 Nov 1768 ….Henry Sloan to son John, personalty in exchange for three rooms in the west end of John Sloan's house for life. Proved Feb. Court 1771. DB 7, p.283
