General Notes: Husband - Walter Sloan

---

The Sloans in the United States trace their ancestry to England, when Charles I. sat upon the throne of Great Britain. After the execution of that monarch, and some time during the period that Oliver Cromwell held within his grasp the supreme power of Europe's mighty island-empire, several members of the Sloan family sought for a home in Ireland. In the course of time two of their descendants-brothers-came to the new world, and one settled in the royal province of New Jersey, while the other, the great-great-grandfather of Hannibal K. Sloan, located in the land of Penn. From these two brothers, whose names are not recorded in history or tradition, have descended the numerous Sloan families of the United States. The grandson of the founder of the Pennsylvania branch of the Sloan family was Lieutenant Walter Sloan.

He was born in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, and migrated in 1794, with his parents, to what is now Armstrong County. He served in the War of 1812, as first lieutenant in a company commanded by Captain James Alexander. After the war he kept a hotel at Kittanning for some length of time, and then engaged extensively, for that day, in farming and in operating a flouring and saw-mill.
