General Notes: Husband - James Sloan


He settled in Clarion County, Pennsylvania, in 1818, and for several years contracted for the transportation of iron, hauling it from Centre County, to the Clarion River, near where Clarion is now, and boating it from there to Louisville, Kentucky.

He was a prominent farmer in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, during the greater part of his active career, and the old stone house which he erected on his place was still standing into the early 1900s. For a few years as a young man he was a contractor for iron-hauling from Centre County to Clarion, whence the product was floated down to Louisville, Kentucky.

He and his wife had a family of four boys and three girls. Three of the sons served in the Union army during the entire Civil War. One of them later died in Clarion County of sun-stroke received in Richmond, Virginia, at the time of its capture; one was later living in San Francisco, California, and the other was living in Lancaster City, Pennsylvania.


General Notes: Wife - Sarah Ann Corbett


Her father brought her to Clarion County, Pennsylvania, from Mifflin County, when a child nine years old.
