General Notes: Husband - David Sloan


When quite a young man he purchased a farm in Buffalo township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, about two miles from Freeport, but being dispossessed by some defect in his title, he located in Franklin township about a mile from Worthington, on a farm later owned by James Claypoole. He was a tall, portly man and very agile. One of his feats was to jump over a covered wagon by means of a pole-feats of skill and strength being held in high esteem in that day. About 1812 he was killed while felling timber, a portion of a falling tree re-bounding and striking him with violence.
