1 Named from John R. Sloan, an early settler. Many years since. near this place, by the side of a path leading to Fort Hunter. was a stone heap thrown up by the Indians, who, from a superstition among them, never failed to add a stone to the pile whenever they passed it. The Rev. Gideon Hawley, who passed it in 1753, relates (1 Mass. Choll. IV) that this heap had been accumulating for ages, and that his native guide could give no other reason for the observance than that his father practiced it and enjoined it upon him. Ile did not like to talk about it; and the missionary believed that the custom was a religion- offering to the unknown God. Others state that a tradition fixes this as the spot where a murder was committed. The heap gave name to the "Stone Ileap Patent," granted to John Bower and others Sept. 15, 1770. The heap was 4 rods long. 1 or 2 wide, and 10 to 15 ft. higb, and consisted of small, flat stones. The covetous owner many years since built the material into a stono wall; and no trace of this curious monument of In- dian superstition now remains. Similar stone heaps have been noticed in other sections of the State. The path that led by this pile was that taken by Sir John Johnson and his arny from Sebo- harie to the Mohawk in Oct. 1780 .- Simms's Schoharie, p. 632.
