Richard:
My wife would not understand the bear hug either, so we better forego that. Here’s what I can tell you at the present.
Unfortunately, I do not have where I found James Washington Sloan’s middle name documented – it could have been from an affidavit for another soldier that he provided information about for a pension or the company roll or some other regimental document. I will check my records over the past several years on this. I’ve had this designation for him for some period of time at least since July of 1999.
He himself was not issued a pension (to my knowledge) and I do not have a death date for him, although, in light of the pension laws – this probably indicates that he died prior to 1890.
I first became aware of the relationship of the three brothers from Edith Sloan’s website. With this in mind, I did some further research and concluded it was so. If these men were cousins or some other relation, they would not be listed chronologically with the mother, but rather at the end of the household.
You have the 1850 census, but are lacking the 1860 census.
SLOAN, A. 45 FEMALE Born: Ireland Pers. Est.: $250
SLOAN, S. 25 MALE Nailer Born: PA Pers. Est.: $100
SLOAN, J.W. 23 MALE Nailer Born: PA
SLOAN, W.J. 20 MALE Nailer Born: PA
SLOAN, T.S. 18 MALE Teacher Born: PA Pers. Est.: $100
SLOAN, MAA. 15 FEMALE Born: PA
SLOAN, M. 12 FEMALE Born: PA
RARK, T.S. 25 MALE Theol. Student Born: PA Pers. Est. $100
SHARPER, J. 23 MALE Theol. Student Born: Ireland Pers. Est. $100
The 1859 Pgh. City Directory has Agnes, widow of John M. – living at 588 Liberty. The three sons I am interested in are at the same address.
I found Archibald Daugherty in the 1880 with William John Sloan – but also knew of him from my previous research. He was born in County Antrim, Ireland.
He was a veteran of the Mexican War and was living near Greensburg, Westmoreland County at time of enlistment in 1846. You have not found him in the census records, because following the war, he moved to Ritchie County, Virginia (now West Virginia). By 1860, he was living in Elizabeth, Allegheny County, PA. At discharge, he listed Birmingham, Allegheny County as his residence.
You have been concentrating your efforts on Pittsburgh, but this family may have lived in Westmoreland County when coming to America. I found a Dougherty family in Patton Twp, Allegheny County (bordering Westmoreland). Archy Dougherty and Jane Warnic (his wife) came to Patton Twp. from Ireland in 1808. They had a son named William John Dougherty. This may be a relative.
There also was a Robert Johnson Daugherty also in company C of the regiment. He was the son of James R. and Mary Ann Daugherty and was from Saltsburg, Indiana County, which is closely aligned with the portion of Westmoreland County near Greensburg. This may be a lead as well.
Good luck.
