John was a private in 1793 in Westmoreland Co, PA Militia under Captain John SLOAN and a Captain in the PA Militia in 1814. John and Elizabeth had 10 children; first son was WILLIAM (b. 1799). �Butler Citizen� 9/12/1912 newspaper article by Newton McCollough states that John�s father was Doctor William McCOLLOUGH (wife unknown) and John was orphaned in an Indian massacre in 1774.
