Susan Ella Bounds Sloan (my maternal grandmother) was born on 1 September 1870, to James Vastine and Barbara Cornelia Shown Bounds, in Tehuacana, Limestone Co., TX. She was their first child, and was called by the name Ella. By 1872, the Bounds family had moved to Wortham, Freestone Co., TX. On 25 December 1891, Ella married James Robert Sloan, in Wortham, Freestone Co., TX. By October 1892, they were living in Wise County, TX, near Brumlow, a community which no longer exists. It was here, in 1893, they buried their first child, a 10 month old girl named Esther, in Oak Grove Cemetery. Later, another of their children, a son named William McKinley, age 3 months, was also buried there in 1899.

On 18 August 1906, J. R. Sloan purchased land at a public land sale at the courthouse in Jacksboro, Jack Co., TX, from the M. G. Stewart Estate. This land originally belonged to the Republic of Texas, or Texas Emigration and Land Company, also known as the Peters Colony Survery. The Sloan family then moved from Wise County to the northwest part of Jack County, living north of Jermyn.

After the death of her husband, on 21 February 1939, Ella Sloan went to live with one of her daughters, Bertha Helen Sloan Moore, who lived nearby. Ella Sloan died at her daughter's home north of Jermyn, Jack Co., TX, on 25 May 1949, and was buried beside her husband in rural Lynn Creek Cemetery, Jack County, TX.
