     James Sloan From Bio Sketch 1882:
Among the original and good people of this county may be classed the Sloan family, to which Mr. James Sloan belongs. The old stock came from Scotland and Ireland , and settled in what is now Franklin County, near the Maryland line.

The great-grandmother was captured by the Indians and taken to the Indian village of Kittanning. She was kept a prisoner for two years and a half. When on a hunting expedition with the Indians one evening the party came upon a trail; one of the number asked where that trail led to, when one of the Indians said it led to a white settlement, Fort Wyoming.

This was the first chance during these many months to escape. During the night this white woman left the hunting-camp and took the path through the dense woods to the white settlement. She traveled for three nights, hiding herself during the daytime; after great suffering she at last reached Fort Wyoming, and returned to her home. The grandfather, Robert Sloan, was born and lived in Franklin County, dying at the age of seventy-eight. The father of James Sloan, John, came with his wife, Elizabeth, to Westmoreland County in the fall of 1797 and settled in Salem township, on land owned now by ex-superintentend H.M. Jones.
