According to the 1850 census, Pendleton, S.C., Susannah was born in Maryland. January 19, 1784, she married Captain David Sloan in Wilkes Co, N.C., (N.C. Marriage Bonds). Soon after they married, they moved to Pendleton, S.C., where they stayed the remainder of their lives, (according to her obituary, reprinted 7/26/1911, Keowee Courier).
According to "Old Pendleton History"; Captain Sloan's will dated 1821; and probate records from Old Pendleton District, Captain Sloan and Susannah had the following children:
William Sloan, the first William who died 1804
Elizabeth Sloan Stribling
David McCurdy Sloan, Jr. (twin)
Susan Sloan Bruce (twin)
Nancy Sloan Taylor
Mary Sloan, died 1810
Rebecca Sloan Earle
Benjamin F. Sloan
Thomas Majors Sloan
Catherine E. Sloan Benson
William Sloan, another child named William, probably to honor the first William who had just died and
James Madison Sloan
(Special thanks to Elreeta Weathers for contributing some information on the children.)
I've never been sure who Susannah's parents were but I found a probate record from Old Pendleton District, SC. It had an error on Susannah's birth year but had her death date exactly right and said she had 12 children, which was right. It said her father was John Major, but spelled it without the "s". There are several John Majors so I wasn't sure which one was her father.
According to Captain Sloan's will, he wanted to be buried at his home place in Pendleton, SC, and he was. Susannah and other family members were also buried at their home in Pendleton.
Thru the years the area was slated to be part of the Santee Project and would eventually be under the waters of Lake Hartwell.
According to US GenWeb Archives on the Sloan Plantation Cemetery, a cousin, Thomas Sloan, relocated tombstones in 1928 due to the area eventually being flooded by Lake Hartwell. Thomas Sloan said he moved 5 stones, that of Captain David Sloan, Sr, his wife, Susannah Majors Sloan, Elizabeth Sloan Stribling and her husband, Jesse Stribling, and the infant daughter of David Sloan, Jr, moving them to Andersonville Cemetery. It was not clear if the bodies were re-interred or just the tombstones relocated.
