Notes of Linda Sloan Palmore:His tombstone reads "Could I reach from pole to pole and grasp creation in my span, I must be measured by my sole, the winds what make a man".Notes of Betty Gant:Was a circuit riding minister for the "Campbellite Church", now the Christian Church.[Rev. James Odell]According to a book on the Combest Family (two Sloan daughters marry Combests), James was born in Scotland of Scotch-Irish ancestry, in 1800, and came to Kentucky at age 2.Casy Co is in the back country of Kentucky. The areas where we know James lived are on the back edge of Casey, Lincoln, and Pulaski counties. The boarders between counties were basically the high mountain ranges between hidden valleys and river washes. It is truly a backland. Thus records are hard to locate.The first document about James Sloan, which this researcher has found, is his marriage license which was issued 15 February, 1825. The couple were lawfully wed on 20 Jan 1825 in Casey Co, Kentucky.James purchased his first property in Casey Co on June 13, 1832 from John Humphery and Elizabeth King, wife of English King, Ann's parents (bk 3, pp 355). The deed is interesting. It seems that the original land grant of David Humphreys had been divided in April 1803 between the heirs, John Humphreys and Elizabeth King. But no new deed had been issued nor had a survey been conducted. Now James wished to purchase a portion of land from each heir. It seems that John sold most of the 79 acres purchased, for which James paid him $80.00 and Elizabeth and English sold their portion for $20.00. James is said to be a resident of Pulaski Co at the time of the sale.The religious background of the Slone family is interesting. His name appears as a founding member and first pastor of the Mt. Olive Christian Church in 1832, which formed as a direct result of the revival preaching of Burton Stone in Casey Co. Stone was preaching the Restoration Church concept, and the first "Casey Co Christain (restored) Church" formed primarily out of converts from the Baptist ranks. James Slone is listed among the founders along with predominate in-laws of both the King and Humphrey clans, and wife Nancy Slone. The history of the church is ripe with surnames of future in-laws whose lines would marry his sons and daughters (Morgan, Durham, Dye, Chancellor). According to the record, James was the first pastor. They were still using the circuit rider pastor system in 1935, so I assume James was a circuit rider also. A list of others pastors is recorded, with James Slone pastoring again from 1851-1854.The movements of the Sloan family can be traced by his land purchases and church records. In 1832 he was living in Pulaski Co, Kentucky and he relocated to Fishing Creek, near Humphrey, Kentucky, later named Mt. Olive after the church there. He left Mt. Olive in 1843 and moved further south in Casey Co to be a preacher, selling his land to David King, son of English on Apr 19, 1843 (bk 5, pp 153). He also transferred his membership out of Mt. Olive church at that time. He purchased a tract of land from John Davenport in 1846 (bk 5, pp 187). Then added to this land in 1847 by purchasing land on a creek bed from Samuel and Sara Warner (bk 5 pp 453). In 1848, these two lands were sold as a unit to Charles Tate (bk 7, pp 425). The creek is named Sloan Creek in the deed survey. Co maps still show a creek by that name. In 1851 he purchased 53 acres on the Green River, closer to Mt. Olive, from Sullivan Graham (bk 7, pp 508). This corresponds with the Mt. Olive Church records that indicate he re-joined the church and was called as pastor that same year. There is no deed of sale in his name. Thus it possibly passed to family members at his death. One other real estate sale is recorded. Nancy Ann and James sold their share of an inherited tract of land to David W. King in 1853. This is probably an inheritance to Nancy (her name appears first on the sale deed) from English who passed in 1851.James Slone is listed, in the 1860 Kentucky Census, as a preacher in Casey Co. He is married with five children at home. He married into King & Humphery families which is most prominent in that part of Casey Co.The Civil War blew through Kentucky in the early 1860s. It seems that Liberty, county seat of Casey Co, had a veteran of the Mexican War named Frank Wolford practicing law in Liberty. He used his oratory skills to convince many, if not most, in the county to side with the Union, not the State of Kentucky. Among other places he found support was "the back hills communities of Middleburg and Mt. Olive." He enlisted support of the Morgan, Dye, Humphery, and Durham families in and about Mt. Olive, and preached his message of "Unionism" at the Mt. Olive Christian Church. He recruited an entire Brigade out of Casey Co, of which he became the Colonel. The Brigade was named the 1st Kentucky Volunteer Cavalry. One of the three Battalions was recruited in Mt. Olive and headed by Major David Humphrey. This the son of John, brother to Nancy Ann King Sloan's mother. Of eleven sons or sons-in-law of James Sloan, nine fought on the Union side, three in the 1st Kentucky Volunteer Calvary. None fought for the Confederacy. Of the three who did not fight, two were too old for action, one too young, but all had brothers or cousins who fought for the Union. [cf, "Sons & Sons-in-law of James Sloan in the Civil War, and H. F. Lucas, "Casey Co Colonel" in "Legends of Casey Co (Kentucky)" (Middleburg, Kentucky: Self, n.d.), pp 66-73]Ann must have passed by 1864. All records show her buried at King Cemetery, near Mt. Olive Church. In 1977, "King Cemetery [was] located on a gravel road connecting Hwy 837 near Mt Olive to Hwy 70, near Bethelridge, 2 miles south of Mt. Olive Christian Church and store, on Jonas King's Farm owned [then] by Raymond Gofory" (Casey Cemetery Index). Tombstones in the King family section of that era, are no longer readable because of both wear and chipping of the stones. According to the Combest family records, James was also buried at King Cemetery after he died in southern Indiana.There is a record of a marriage in the "Index of Early Marriage Records of Casey Co" between a James Slone and a Martha J. Deboard on Nov 6, 1864. James Sloan is the only Sloan family in Casey Co in the mid 1860's. Further information about Martha show her born in 1830. While James Jr. is of marriageable age, it is highly unlikely he would marry an older widow. James Sr. is most likely the groom. There is a Martha J. Sloan (1830-1870) buried at Bethelridge Cemetery in Casey Co. Could this be the same Martha? Evidence seems to favor it. Was the husband Jame Sr. or James Jr.? The age of the widow would favor it being James Sr.A letter from Linda [Sloan] to her aunt N. P. Matthews indicated that N. P. (my grandmother) believed that there were 18 children in her grandparents family. When one lists the names from the Census records, Casey Co Birth, Marriage, and Death Records, the three children believed to be Martha & James' below, and the names listed in Linda's letter, they come to 18 children.In the 1870 Census he is listed as 69 years old living in the household of Duram Melton, who married James daughter Permelia. The Census lists 3 children with Sloan surname living in the Milton Durham household along with James' youngest daughter, Mary Catherine. These are, I assume, the children of James Sr. & Martha and of the second marriage.According to a letter to N. P. Matthews from a Linda [Sloan], a niece, James Slone and much of the family moved to southern Indiana in 1870. James died there in the early 1870's and was buried there. A tombstone with the name James Sloan reads "Apr 15, 1802 to June 6, 1870". But is this the same James Sloan?According to the Combest Genealogy, he was born in Scotland, came to America at age 2, moved to Kentucky then married. After the death of Ann, he move to Indiana, died there, but was buried with Ann in the King Cemetery. Another possible burial site or original name of cemetery: Pancake Cemetery, Patoka Twp, Pike Co, Indiana.[Ruth Michelle Sloan]Perhaps of Interest:An Anthony Sloane Arrived in South Carolina from Great Britain on the Brig. Prince Leopold from Belfast, Ireland to Charleston, South Carolina 15 November 1820, age 28, occupation farmer.
