SAMUEL SLOAN, LIMESTONE COUNTY AL,
Pvt NORTH CAROLINA CONTINENTAL
$96.00 ANNUAL ALLOWANCE
$146.48 AMOUNT RECEIVED
FEBRUARY 29, 1832 PENSION STARTED AE 76
In 1820 Limestone Co., AL census, there are two Samuel Sloans. A
Samuel
Sloan appears in the 1830 Jackson Co., TN census for the first
time corresponding with the disappearance of the younger Samuel
from Limestone Co., AL. In the 1850 TN (Jackson Co.) census, a
Samuel Sloan appears in the district next to our family's Samuel
Sloan (b. ca 1827). Several other young Sloans appear, all of
similar ages, corresponding to the ages of the Samuel Sloan
children of the 1830 census, some born in Alabama, some born in
TN. Another clue is that Mark Sloan has a daughter,
Perthenia, and the Samuel from Limestone Co., AL has a sister,
Parthenia.

http://fly.hiwaay.net/~jemcgee/index.html 49th Alabama (CSA)
During the Civil War: Also researching this unit that included
volunteers from Madison, Marshall, Jackson, DeKalb, Dallas, and
Blount counties of Alabama. It was initially known as Hale's
31st Alabama but changed to the 49th Alabama shortly before the
Battle of Shiloh. The unit was organized near Nashville, TN in
January, 1862. They participated in the Battles of Shiloh,
Corinth, Vicksburg, and eventually surrendered with the fall of
Port Hudson, LA.
'The regiment [49th Alabama] acted with praiseworthy gallantry
in this action.'
Col. Robert Trabue, the Battle of Shiloh, April 6 and 7, 1862.
The gunners of Stanford's Mississippi Battery, had just heard
the sound of their guns for the first time. Here, on the green
fields around Shiloh Church, near Pittsburg Landing, Tennessee,
they had received their "baptism by fire." wrote Sergeant
Brown, "an officer came up and ordered us to the support of
Gen'l Breckinridge, as the enemy was concentrating in his
front."
One of Stanford's guns, disabled the day before, had been sent
from the field, leaving the captain with five working pieces. He
quickly had his battery rolling toward the front. "We went about
a mile, and took a position near the centre," Magee remembered.
The battery unlimbered amid a battle line drawn up at almost the
same spot from which they had fired as part of the Ruggles Line
the day before. The Mississippians were about a mile and
three-quarters southwest of Pittsburg Landing. Stanford's
Mississippians took a position supporting Colonel Winfield
Statham's and Colonel Robert Trabue's brigades of Breckinridge's
corps.
As the fighting intensified, Stanford's battery was sent forward
into a clearing known as Duncan Field to counter a Union battery
that had opened fire on the Confederates. Beyond Duncan Field,
shielded from view by the trees beyond the Sunken Road, was
Captain Joseph Bartlett's Battery G, 1st Ohio Light Artillery.
"The only sign we could see of them was the smoke rising from
the bushes where they hid," wrote Sergeant Brown.
Captain Stanford opened fire on the Union guns at once. This,
Brown recalled, drew an immediate response. The Rebel battery
found itself enveloped in a hellish maelstrom. "From those
bushes came such a succession of deafening peals of thunder as I
had never heard before, seeming to almost lift us from the
ground," Brown remembered. "A mad storm of shot, shell, and
canister swept by us. The flash, the roar, and the iron storm
continued to come without intermission."
This firestorm stiffened the Mississippians' resolve, according
to Brown: "We were far from submitting quietly from the fierce
torrent of their anger, and I have no doubt that our guns made
their position nearly as disagreeable as ours." Raising a lusty
battle cry, the Confederate infantry passed through the
artillery line and charged. An unbroken roar of musketry greeted
the grayclad troops as they drew near the woods beyond Duncan
Field. "The storm that swept through the thick undergrowth could
not be withstood," Brown wrote. "The line that charged came back
in confusion, so deadly was the reception they had met, and so
demoralized by the shock, they could not rally around our
battery."
