John Sloans in Pennsylvania
1790-1850
...looking for John Sloan, who married Nancy Agnes Daugherty
1833, and his father, possibly John Sloan Sr., who settled in Allegheny County.
It is believed 1833 is also the year he immigrated. To better keep track of
all leads and connections, I'm including info on John Sloans that are in PA
earlier than the 1830s.
