You didn't mention his last name, but I know you are requesting information regarding William John Sloan. His two brothers: Samuel Sloan & James Washington Sloan as well as his uncle, Archibald Daugherty remained in the Iron City Guards.
Tyler's Park Battery is listed by the Adjutant General of Pennsylvania as "Independent Battery, Six Month's Pennsylvania Artillery" -- I am not sure how the federal government identified this unit. It may be listed as "Tyler's Independent Pennsylvania Artillery" -- but this is just a guess on my part. Unfortunately, he is not listed as a Lieutenant in the 1866 PA Adjutant General's Report -- this does not mean that he wasn't a lieutenant -- but that the State of PA did not recognize his promotion. This is not unusual -- so I would not worry too much about it. He may have been promoted, but never received a commission from Andrew G. Curtin, the Governor of PA.
