ROBERT B. SLOANE, RAYNE, was born in Acadia parish, Louisiana, in 1840.  He is
the son of David Sloane, who was in the war of 1812, and died between 1840 and
1845.

The subject of this sketch received his education in Acadia parish.  In 1862,
he enlisted in the C. S. A., under Gen. Mouton, serving four years.  He was
first in the infantry service, and afterward transferred to the cavalry
service.  Since the war he has given his attention to planting, and now owns
five hundred and sixty-one acres of land, part of which is fertile and
tillable, and the other, thickly wooded with timber, such as pine, oak and
gum.  The principal products of his place are corn and rice.  He also manages
a stock farm.  He was married, in 1866, to Miss Margaret Laughlin, a native of
Acadia parish.  To them have been born nine children, four boys and five
girls.
