20 THE SLOCUMS, SLOCUMBS, AND SLOCOMBS, OF AMERICA. THE RESEARCHES IN ENGLAND. When in England in 1879 tne writer passed several weeks en- deavoring to ascertain the early history of the Slocombes. Much time was spent in the British Museum Library, London, and a tour was made through central and southwestern England. In my rambles over the hills and through the combes, or valleys, several parishes were visited in hope of finding something definite in the registers concerning those who founded the name in America about the year 1637 ; but those books, when found of a period antedating that year, were generally in such bad condition from long neglect in damp and mouldy corners of churches as to be mainly illegible. In the Parish of Huish Champflower, Somerset- shire, about fifteen miles west of Taunton, the family was early prominent judging from the list of wills seen at Taunton ; and the name was found in someof the legible parts of records in the earliest register, but to no purpose. The oldest well-preserved register ex- amined bore date from "Anno Regni Elizabeths Primo,A. D. 1558." This was in Clatworthy Parish adjoining Huish Champflower where the name first appeared at a date later than the first emi- gration to America ; see Appendix name of Robert Slocombe. Durston Parish was visited but the old registers could not be found. That there were several families of the name in the vicinity of Taunton in the West Division of Somersetshire in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, is proven by the following list of wills which I collected in the Taunton Probate Office, viz. : Name of Testator. Date of Will. Name of Parish. Parish Registers date from, 1605 1608 l6l2 1622 1624 1625 1625 1633 1635 1636 I637 1638 1639 1643 1660 1660 1560 1 64 1 1645 1673 1673 1548 1073 1563 1645 do. do do RESEARCHES IN ENGLAND CONCERNING THE ANCESTORS. 21 Not feeling inclined at the time of my visit to give continued personal attention to the old records in Somersetshire, I did not look for these wills amongst the old and rather carelessly-kept papers at Taunton. Upon visiting Wells two wills were there found registered. An English genealogist, Captain A. E Lawson Lowe, was afterward engaged to continue the investigation, and, after visiting those places, he reported to me as follows : "The wills proved in a number of old courts were deposited in the District Probate Court at Wells. The principal of these are (i) the Consistory Court of the Lord Bishop of Wells; (2) Consistory Court of the Dean and Chapter of Wells ; (3) Consistorial Archidiaconal Court of Wells ; and (4) Consistory Court of the Dean of Wells. The first of these is said to date from 1543, but there are only a very few wills prior to about the year 1600. In this Court only two wills of Slocombes were found, viz. : 1. "The will of Charity Slocombe, of the parish of Old Cleave, in the county of Somerset, widovy, is dated November 21st, 1642. She devises 20 shillings to the poor of Old Cleave, and 20 shillings to the poor of Gothurst. To her brother, Aldred Bickham, her sister, Joane Studdier, and her kinswoman, Isoll Oatford, she gives a piece of gold to each. She devises small legacies to Richard Bickham and John Studdier, the younger. To Isoll Bickham she gives ' a hood and safe gard and petecoat and wascoat, and one handkercheife with a broad lase.' To her kins- woman, Mary "Wills, of Envier, widow, she gives her 'best cloake.' To Mary Gey, she gives her 'best hatt,' her 'ould petecoat and one doulis smock and a blew apron and an under coat of gingerline.' She also gives legacies to Anne Sully, the daughter of Thomas Sully, and to Mary Willis. To each of her god children she gives two shillings, and gives ten shillings to be distributed amongst her brother Aldred Bick- ham's servants, that is twelve pence to each. The whole residue she gives to her son, Giles Slocombe, whom sTie appoints her sole executor. This will was proved January 26, 1643." 2. "The will of Robert Slocombe, the elder, yeoman, of Plainsfield within the parish of Over Stowey, is dated February 14, 1670. He names as heirs his sons, Humphrey, John, and William Slocombe, and his grand-children Robert, Richard Joane, and Elizabeth Slocombe, and also, several persons of other names. An inventory of his personal goods, dated May 13, 1670, and amounting to ^222. 5.5-. od. is annexed." " In the calendars of the second named Court, which embraces few wills and does not date back beyond 1660, the three following names were found, all of the parish of Bishop's Lydeard, viz : George Slo- combe, 1707; Richard Slocombe, 1729; and Elizabeth Slocombe, 1730. These are 'administrations' only, and contain no genealogical particu- lars. They are, moreover, too late to be of any service in the present enquiry, but serve to show the existence of a family of the name at Bishop's Lydeard, 5^ miles N. W. of Taunton." "The third Court that I have mentioned also dates from 1660, and no reference to any person of the name was to be met with in the books belonging to the same." r~r~] A SHORT HISTORY OF THE _ t Slocums, Slocumbs and Slocombs of america, GENEALOGICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL; Embracing Eleven Generations of the First-named Family from 1637 to 1881 : WITH THEIR ALLIANCES AND THE DESCENDANTS IN THE FEMALE LINES SO FAR AS ASCERTAINED.

This book is the result of a desire which was awakened in the mind of the writer some years ago to know more regarding his ancestry than could be learned from his immediate relatives, and of the stimulation this desire has received from the genealogical his- tories which have been published, especially during the last decade. The work in its present extent and form far exceeds my earlier anticipations ; but one step encouraged another until there seemed no other course to take than to publish my gleanings that those who have become interested in my labors might share in the result of them. I have been aware, however, that this publi- cation will interest, particularly, only those whose names, with the names of their ancestors, are recorded in it ; and in this connection it seems desirable to state that I was not actuated to these re- searches by a hope that vast unclaimed estates could be found, or that pecuniary profit would in any way accrue to me. The work was engaged in, and has been prosecuted, wholly in the spirit of legitimate genealogical research ; and, as in most undertakings of the kind, the subcriptions for the book do not pay even the expense of its publication to say nothing of the far greater expense which has attended its preparation. But should the attention thus called to the subject have an influence even slight and in limited circles to stimulate commendable family pride and emulation, and incline the younger members of the families more to the paths of higher culture and to the religion of the early fathers that they may guard with zealous care the honor and fair fame of the name they bear, then the considerable amount of time and money which the work has cost will not have been expended in vain. The difficulties which are met with in gathering material for a work of this character are very great. The quaint lines of Anthony a Wood (1632-1695) relative to antiquarian research in his time are fully applicable here, for " a painful work it is, and IO PREFACE. more than difficult, wherein what toyle hath been taken, as no man thinketh, so no man believeth, but he that hath made the triall."* References to the authorities for the sketches of the earlier generations are freely given in those sketches, while the authorities for the records of the later generations are preserved by the writer in form of reports received from the families them- selves or from their relatives or friends. To induce fullness, system, and accuracy in those reports, a large blank-form con- taining a list of fifty-eight questions, and an extended explanatory circular, were distributed to all persons bearing the name Slocum, Slocumb, or Slocomb, and to the families allied to these names, whose addresses could be ascertained from relatives, friends, genealogists, postmasters, and directories. A few of the packages thus sent out were returned by postmasters, showing that those for whom they were intended had either died or changed their residence. Others have been retained by those addressed, or their relatives, together with the addressed envelopes and stamps enclosed for their return, and notwithstanding the subsequent sending of two additional circulars, and in many instances letters, with special requests for reports. Most of the blanks, however, have been returned with many of the questions carefully answered, and I desire here to express my thanks to all who have thus aided and encouraged me in the work. In an especial manner would I acknowledge the kindly interest manifested in my labors by Judge William Henry Slocum of Ocean Port, N. J., Mr. Lewis Henry Slocum of Pittsburgh, Pa., Dr. Alfred Marshall Slocum of Philadelphia, Pa., Mr. John Slocum of Wyoming, R. I., Miss Lida Swan Slocum of Ashland, Ohio, Mrs. Margaret Almy of South Portsmouth, R. I., and Mr. Humphrey H. H. C. Smith of Detroit, Mich., who, with great and continued courtesy, have answered my many letters and questions and contributed much information concerning the families of their immediate relatives, and in some instances much relating to other families in their respective communities. I am *For an interesting account of some of the difficulties in gathering family records and history the reader is referred to the publication entitled ' ' The Descend- ants of Joseph Loomis," by Elias Loomis, LL.D., Professor of Natural History and Astronomy in Yale College. The several genealogical publications of Professor Loomis show a remarkable degree of patient and persevering effort notwithstanding the many and great obstacles met with in their preparation. PREFACE. 1 1 also indebted to many young men and women for reports which but for them would not have been received. The interest manifested in the work by the young people has been particularly cheering to me and is considered a good omen for the family name. I also gratefully acknowledge the receipt of a number of voluntary contributions from gentlemen, residing in different parts of the country, who are interested in genealogical studies but who are not related to these families. The research and the efforts to make this a full and trust- worthy genealogical history have probably been as thorough as in most undertakings of the kind ; and it is believed that no considerable number of families have borne the surname Slocum, Slocumb, or Slocomb, in America who are not herein represented. Completeness, however, may be considered an impossibility in a work of this character, covering so many years and with so many scattered families and lost records, and, withal, where so many who could aid in the work are disinclined to do so. Where the records or reports have been fragmentary or indefinite marks of doubt (?) are inserted, particularly if any inference is expressed. Wherever present time is intimated the reader may understand that the year 1880 is the time referred to. It is thought that the arrangement of the genealogy which differs but little from the plan used in the Register of the New England Historic, Genealogical Society, is as simple as it can well be and still be complete. References from the children of families in the different generations forward to the biographical sketches of the same can readily be made by means of the Arabic numerals opposite the names and the corresponding numerals over the sketches. It has been my aim to keep the style of these sketches simple and clear and to avoid prolix and laudatory histo- ries. Those who may regret the brevity of the sketches given of their ancestors will please consider that the facts necessary for a full and authentic history have been wanting. I regret that more details have not been ascertained in many cases, particu- larly concerning those who are deceased ; but it is an axiom, probably more applicable to the past than to the present, that much of that which is of most value in the lives of mankind is seldom permanently recorded and does not long survive them. And with the imperfect and careless manner of recording and 12 PREFACE preserving vital statistics which still prevails in most families it would not be strange that the dates of their births and deaths should, after a length of time, become known only by tradition ; and eventually, that varying rumor dying, even their very names, the last that memory retains of them, may also fail among men and they that are become as unknown, and past finding out, as though they had never lived. There are many still who agree, in theory and practice, with Sir Thomas Browne (1605-1682), anti- quary and physician, who, in his Discourse on Sepulcral Urns (1648), looked upon the disregard of ancestors as unavoidable by the masses though not without regret for the few, saying : " Our fathers find their graves in our short memories and tell us how we may be buried in our survivors. Oblivion is not to be hired. The greater part must be content to be as though they had not been, to be found in the register of God, not in the record of man." Care has been exercised to maintain correct orthography in names. It is probable, however, that errors will be found in this particular as the writing has been obscure in many records. In cases of doubt regarding the less common christian names the vocabularies of names in Webster s Dictionary, Arthur s Diction- ary of Family Christian Names, and the History of Christian Names* have been taken as guides so far as practicable ; but these publications have been of no usefor those names so written as not to indicate the sex of those who bear them, and for many of the modern aestheticisms and pet names, as well as for a number of names obtained from sources unknown to the writer, and where only the initials were given in the report. Palfrey, in his History of New England (1859), states that there is probably not a county in England which is occupied by a population of purer English blood than is that of the New England people. The same may as truly be said of many of the Slocums of to-day, and of all until a few later inter- marriages. The last common ancestor, Giles Slocombe, removed from England in the time of the absolute and despotic reign of King Charles I, and settled in Portsmouth Township, Rhode Island. Two of his sons reared families in Rhode Island, two others in Dartmouth Township, New Plymouth, now ^History of Christian Names, by the author of Landmarks of History, etc. ; 2 vols. 12 mo., London, 1863, PREFACE. 13 Massachusetts, and one in Shrewsbury Township, East New Jersey. Of those descendants who remained about Narragan- sett Bay, Rhode Island, and those who resided near Buzzard's Bay, Massachusetts, many have been sea-faring men, very many of these becoming master-mariners in different branches of the service, sailing through every sea. The largest portion of the descendants, however, have been engaged in agricultural pursuits, and in the succeeding generations many have kept abreast of the emigration westward, and have acted important parts as pioneers in subduing the forests and in developing America's unequaled resources. The descendants have not been so numerous in the aggregate as have those of some other names. The reader should bear in mind that the style of dates intro- duced into Roman Catholic countries by Pope Gregory XIII, A. D. 1582, was not adopted by England and her Colonies until the year 1752 ; and previous to this year the dates are in the Old Style the year commencing with the 25th day of March, and March being called the First month of the year and Febru- ary the Twelfth. The inconvenience resulting from the use of both styles in Europe at the same time, gave rise to the frequent expression of both years in all dates between the 1st of January and the 24th of March, as " the 7th of First month commonly called March, 163I" (1637-8). The old or Julian Calendar may be made to correspond with the new or Gregorian Calendar by adding ten days to the dates between A. D. 1582 and 1701, and eleven days to dates between A. D. 1700 and September 2d, 1752. A careful study of the history of any family for a period of two hundred and forty years, or of a much shorter time indeed, will furnish abundant illustrations for the sociologist and the moralist. It has been, however, no part of the writer's plan to comment or to moralize, but simply to record the more general facts as they have been found. Of the Slocum Family it may be said that the teachings and examples of the Society of Friends during the earlier generations still have their influence on the character of most of the descendants, however scattered and affiljated with other organizations. As a people they have been comparatively free from aspiration for political and other public favors, and it is here stated with gratification that criminal taint has rarely if ever tarnished the family name. So far as the 14 PREFACE. writer's acquaintance extends the families have very generally been religious, moral, and thrifty ; have " held the golded mean, And lived contentedly between The little and the great ; Felt not the wants that pinch the poor, Nor plagues that haunt the rich man's door. Embittering all his state." The name Slocum has an honorable record in every one of our Country's wars, from early Colonial times. Notwithstanding the teachings of the Society of Friends, of which the earlier Slocums of America were all members, the name was quite well represented in the Revolutionary War, and in the War of 1812. The number of Slocums engaged in the War against the Southern Rebellion (1861-65) was relatively large, in some instances three, four, and even five sons of a family entered the service, and their patriotism and valor were well tried and found not wanting. The history of these soldiers is not so generally and fully given here as I have desired; and a number whose lives were sacrificed on the altar of their Country and whose names are recorded in the United States Roll of Honor* are not connected with their ancestors on these pages for want of proper reports. See Appendix. " There is a moral and philosophical respect for our ancestors which elevates the character and improves the heart." "Any labor that adds to our knowledge of the descent of a family or gathers the scattered facts of a genealogical line into a simple history, is of the highest value and deserving of the warmest praise."| All that is good and exemplary in the lives of man- kind should be recorded with as great care, at least, as is the appraisement of their pecuniary estates, and cherished, that the children and the children's children to the latest time may have the examples for their instruction and emulation. It is not too much to hope that the family records of the future may be so complete as to be valuable also for studies of heredity or the law of transmission of the physical and psychical qualities of parents to their offspring. * Roll of Honor : Names of Soldiers who died in Defense of the American Union and are interred in the National Cemeteries; 6 vols. 8 vo., Washington, D.

PREFACE. 15 By way of explanation to those subscribers who have been desirous for the early appearance of the book, I will state that the delay of one year or more in its publication has been due to dilatory correspondents, to delays on the part of the printer, and the desire of the writer to make the volume as complete as possible. These delays have resulted, however, in the extension of the plan of the work so as to include the Slocumb and Slo- comb families, and in the addition of many details to different parts of the work. Reports are still solicited from all persons who can add to this history by the correction of any error that may be found on its pages, or by additional items that may be suggested by its perusal or in any way brought to light. Should sufficient additional matter be thus obtained, supplementary pages will be published for all who possess the book. Finally, I can but express the hope that I may yet have the pleasure of personally meeting the many excellent people whose courteous communications have given me a feeling of acquaint- anceship with and of friendship towards them which will remain a bright page in my memory. June 28th, 1882. Charles E. Slocum, M. D. [university! Part First. INTRODUCTORY. ETYMOLOGY OF THE SURNAMES SLOCOMB, SLOCUMB, AND SLOCUM. Several theories have been advanced relative to the mode of origin of the surname Slocum, but the promulgators of most of these theories have fallen into the error to use the words of Lower in his Patro?iymica Britannica concerning many of the statements made in Bowditch's book on the surnames of Suffolk County, Mass., of regarding the apparent rather than the actual derivation and original meaning of the name. When arranged according to their etymology all surnames are divisible into five classes, viz. :* (i) Baptismal or personal names (Patronymics) as Thomson, from Thomas' son ; Fitzgerald, Gerald's son ; Powell, from Ap-Howell (Howell's son), etc., in great variety. (2) Names derived from place (local surnames). (3) Names from office as Earl, Knight, Marshall, Spencer, from "Despencer" (Dispenser), Squire, etc. (4) Names from occupation as Cook, Gardiner, Shepherd, Sherman from Shearman, etc. (5) Soubriquet or nicknames as Brightman, Russell, Brown, Morell, etc. " The names of local origin bear by far the larger proportion to the whole." To this class belong Hill, Athill, Field, Wood, Washington, Townsend, Holcombe, Slocombe, and numerous others that will readily come to mind. The surname Slocombe probably originated from an abundant growth of the Sloe f in one of the numerous Combes (cup-shaped *See English Surnames, Their Sources and Significations, by Charles W. Bards- Icy, M. A.; 2d ed., London, 1875. Also Lower's Paironymica Britannica. f The Sloe is the fruit of the English wild spiny Plum-tree which is also known as the Sloe-tree, Sloe-thorn, and Black-thorn. The fruit was so named from its pecu- liar astringent action on the mouth, known in English as "setting the teeth on edge," hut which is conceived in other languages as blunting them ; hence, harsh, blunt or l8 THE SLOCUMS, SLOCUMBS, AM) SLOCOMBS, OF AMERICA. depressions, ridgy hollows, or valleys in the hills,) of south-western England, hence called the Sloe Combe, and the man, John, resid- ing in that locality, becoming designated as John at the, or of the, Sloe-combe. Thus, in the most natural manner, the require- dull, is the primary signification of the word. The botanical name of the tree is Primus spinosa of the Natural Order Rosacea. The various properties, medicinal and other, of this small tree including its wood, bark, leaves, flowers and fruit, have been discussed and employed from the earliest period of history. It was first recorded in Asia where the name primus (proui/inos) originated, and it was introduced into Great Britain early in the history of that Island, if, perchance, it was not indig- enous there, and from it have been propagated all of the varieties of English culti- vated plums (Primus domes tied). It is found in the different countries of Europe, and, sparingly, in the middle United States. It grows usually from ten to fifteen feet in height ; is seldom seen over twenty feet though it may occasionally attain the height of thirty feet. The branches are numerous and end in a spine. The leaves are dark-green, somewhat obovate (improperly shown in the frontispiece as ovate- lanceolate), smooth and downy beneath, and sharply serrate. The flowers appear before the leaves, are small, snow-white, and solitary ; calyx campanulate with lobes blunt and longer than the tube. The fruit is small, globose, black when npe, and covered with a beautiful blue bloom ; is very austere to the taste and only palatable with a large quantity of sugar, or after a frost. In France the unripe fruit has been used as a condiment, when pickled with salt and vinegar, like olives. It has also been employed, when crushed, as a black dye. " In domestic economy a very good preserve is made of the ripe fruit" (?). In Germany, Russia, and England, the juice of the ripe fruit, expressed in water on account of its very viscid nature, has been fermented and distilled into spirits ; it has also been used to color and impart rough- ness to port wine, and in the manufacture of a spurious port. By the addition of sulphate of iron, a "beautiful black ink with indelible properties" has been made of this juice. The juice of unripe fruit, evaporated to dryness by gentle heat, forms the German acacia which was formerly sold under the name of Egyptian acacia, and, on account of its astringent property, was employed in mucus diarrhea, dysentery and other bloody discharges. The dried leaves have a pleasant aromatic flavor and were considered at one time the best substitute for Chinese tea that had been tried in Europe ; but they fell into disfavor from their astringent action, and their clandestine use in the adulteration of Chinese tea. The fruit, bark, and leaves, have been known as a styptic at least from the time of Dioscorides and Galen Greek and Roman medical writers who flourished in the second century of the Christian era who included them in their materia medica. Though an active astringent before fully ripe, the fruit becomes laxative when beginning to soften from decay ; and the flowers and their calyxes have also been employed as a mild purgative. The bark held at one time a prominent place in the materia medica as a febrifuge, and as a bitter tonic. A decoction of the bark has been used for the tanning of leather, and also as a yel- low dye when mixed with an alkali. " The Sloe-shrub forms a better dead hedge than Hawthorn," but when alive the root^ have too great a tendency to spread and sprout to be popular around cultivated fields. "Throughout Europe walking sticks were formerly more frequently taken from the upward shoots of the Sloe-tree than from any other. The bark, which is precisely of the color of the horse-chestnut fruit and as smooth and bright, needs no polish ; and, ornamented by the numerous knots, the stick is the very prettiest that can be conceived." (Cobbett's Woodlands). The Sloe- shrub, when well cared for, forms a pleasing ornament to lawns. The blossoms appear before the leaves and present a beautiful and welcome appearance in the early spring ; and they, with the fruit, have been objects of frequent allusion by the English song- writers. For a more extended account of the Sloe-tree and its fruit see I he Arboretum el Fruticettim Britannicum, by J. C. London, F. L. H.

Burnett, Esq., Professor of Botany at King's College, London, 1852. Mr. Governeur Emerson, in The Amer- ETYMOLOGY OF THE SURNAMES. I9 ments of increasing population and the changes in orthography permanently fixed Slocombe as the hereditary surname of the family.* The name has been very uniformly printed as Slocombe in England. But once have I found it spelled otherwise and that as " Slocum " in the report of the Heralds' Visitation of Devon- shire in the year 1620, as published by the Harleian Society, London, 1872. The clerks of different records and places in New England, however, wrote the surname of the first American families in various ways, principal among which were Slocomb, Slocome, Slocom, Slocumb, Slocume, and Slocum. The form " Slocum " became well established as shown by various records before the year 1700, and has been quite uniformly adhered to by the descendants of Giles 2 Slocombe (see sketch No. 2) who settled in what is now Portsmouth Township, Rhode Island, in the year 1638 (?), and died there in the year 1682. f icon Farmers' Encyclopedia, 3d edition, Philadelphia, 1844, writes that "the Amer- ican species of Sloe-shrub belong to the Viburnum family, and are not to be con- founded with the hedge Black-thorn." * Surnames were first employed in England about A. D. 1050, but their use was confined to a few persons for three centuries or more thereafter and then the custom gradually spread amongst the different classes. Many Hollanders of the early emigrations to New York in the seventeenth cen- tury possessed but one name ; see the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, vol. I. In the wilder districts of Wales the people have not yet adopted the use of surnames ; see Chambers' Encyclopedia, ed. 1880. Edgecumbe House in Devonshire, England, derived its name from its location at the beginning of a valley edge of the "cumb," or "combe," extending from the parish Church of Molton Abbot to the River Tamar, a distance of about two miles. Part of the present house was erected by " Richard de Eggecumbe," A. D. 1292. The great number of names of persons and places in Devon and Somerset, England, in which the word "combe" enters, is particularly noticeable to all who have occa- sion to consult directories or maps of those counties. f Very few, if any, surnames have escaped the greatest diversity of spelling, and many have become fixed in forms different from the originals. The name "Seymour " was derived from St. Maur the name of a town in Normandy, France. The name Larcom was formerly. Lacombe (Burke), and "Orcutt" was derived from Harcourt. In the Genealogical Memoir of the Newcomb Family, published in 1874 by John B. Newcomb of Elgin, Illinois, we are informed that he has found his surname written Neweom, Newcome, Newcomb, Newcombe, Newcum, Newkom, Newkum, Nucom, Nucome, Nucombe. Nucomb, Nucuni, etc. In the New England Historical and Genealogical Register for 1S77 we read that the name Cressey has been found written in twenty-three different ways, and from another source we are informed that the name Shirecliff has been found spelled in fifty-five, and the name Mainwaring iri one-hundred-and-fifty-one, different ways. The word Combe was often written in the Domesday Book of England (A. D. 1 080-1086) as "come" and "cume"; comb- wick as " comich " and "commiz," etc. Some families hold a tradition that three Slocombe brothers first came to America, and, before separating, entered into an agreement to spell their surname differently that the descendants of each could the better be distinguished ; and hence the forms Slocomb, Slocumb, and Slocum, as now held in America. This tradition probably does not bear a very early date. 20 THE SLOCUMS, SLOCUMBS, AND SLOCOMBS, OF AMERICA. THE RESEARCHES IN ENGLAND. When in England in 1879 tne writer passed several weeks en- deavoring to ascertain the early history of the Slocombes. Much time was spent in the British Museum Library, London, and a tour was made through central and southwestern England. In my rambles over the hills and through the combes, or valleys, several parishes were visited in hope of finding something definite in the registers concerning those who founded the name in America about the year 1637; but those books, when found of a period antedating that year, were generally in such bad condition from long neglect in damp and mouldy corners of churches as to be mainly illegible. In the Parish of Huish Champflower, Somerset- shire, about fifteen miles west of Taunton, the family was early prominent judging from the list of wills seen at Taunton ; and the name was found in someof the legible parts of records in the earliest register, but to no purpose. The oldest well-preserved register ex- amined bore date from "Anno Regni Elizabethce Primo , A. D. 1 558." This was in Clatworthy Parish adjoining Huish Champflower where the name first appeared at a date later than the first emi- gration to America ; see Appendix name of Robert Slocombe. Durston Parish was visited but the old registers could not be found. That there were several families of the name in the vicinity of Taunton in the West Division of Somersetshire in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, is proven by the following list of wills which I collected in the Taunton Probate Office, viz. : Name of Testator. Date of Will. Name of Parish.

Upon visiting Wells two wills were there found registered. An English genealogist, Captain A. E Lawson Lowe, was afterward engaged to continue the investigation, and, after visiting those places, he reported to me as follows : "The wills proved in a number of old courts were deposited in the District Probate Court at Wells. The principal of these are (i) the Consistory Court of the Lord Bishop of Wells; (2) Consistory Court of the Dean and Chapter of Wells ; (3) Consistorial Archidiaconal Court of Wells ; and (4) Consistory Court of the Dean of Wells. The first of these is said to date from 1543, but there are only a very few wills prior to about the year 1600. In this Court only two wills of Slocombes were found, viz. : 1. "The will of Charity Slocombe, of the parish of Old Cleave, in the county of Somerset, widow, is dated November 21st, 1642. She devises 20 shillings to the poor of Old Cleave, and 20 shillings to the poor of Gothurst. To her brother, Aldred Bickham, her sister, Joane Studdier, and her kinswoman, Isoll Oatford, she gives a piece of gold to each. She devises small legacies to Richard Bickham and John Studdier, the younger. To Isoll Bickham she gives ' a hood and safe gard and petecoat and wascoat, and one handkercheife with a broad lase.' To her kins- woman, Mary Wills, of Envier, widow, she gives her 'best cloake.' To Mary Gey, she gives her 'best hatt,' her 'ould petecoat and one doulis smock and a blew apron and an under coat of gingerline.' She also gives legacies to Anne Sully, the daughter of Thomas Sully, and to Mary Willis. To each of her god children she gives two shillings, and gives ten shillings to be distributed amongst her brother Aldred Bick- ham's servants, that is twelve pence to each. The whole residue she gives to her son, Giles Slocombe, whom sTie appoints her sole executor. This will was proved January 26, 1643." 2. "The will of Robert Slocombe, the elder, yeoman, of Plainsfield within the parish of Over Stowey, is dated February 14, 1670. He names as heirs his sons, Humphrey, John, and William Slocombe, and his grand-children Robert, Richard Joane, and Elizabeth Slocombe, and also, several persons of other names. An inventory of his personal goods, dated May 13, 1670, and amounting to 222. $s. od. is annexed." " In the calendars of the second named Court, which embraces few wills and does not date back beyond 1660, the three following names were found, all of the parish of Bishop's Lydeard, viz : George Slo- combe, 1707; Richard Slocombe, 1729; and Elizabeth Slocombe, 1730. These are 'administrations' only, and contain no genealogical particu- lars. They are, moreover, too late to be of any service in the present enquiry, but serve to show the existence of a family of the name at Bishop's Lydeard, 5^ miles N. W. of Taunton." "The third Court that I have mentioned also dates from 1660, and no reference to any person of the name was to be met with in the books belonging to the same." 22 THE SLOCUMS, SLOCUMBS, AND SLOCOMBS, OF AMERICA. " The fourth named Court likewise dates from 1660, and in one of the calendars I met with one Slocombe will, viz : Hugh Slocombe, of Carhampton, 1703. This was all that Wells afforded, and I fear that it adds little." "At Taunton I was disappointed to find that nearly all the old wills had been lost or destroyed. At some period, doubtless during the Duke of Monmouth's rebellion in the year 1685, the wills and other docu- ments were removed for safety to a neighbouring village. It is said that many of them were never brought back, and those that were, were deposited in disorder in the tower of St. Mary's Church, where they remained for some years. The unfortunate result of this is, that with the exception of a few odd bundles and one old volume into which some early wills have been copied, there are no wills whatever prior to the year 1660, since which period they are tolerably perfect. I was unable to find any Slocombe wills amongst the few old ones that are left, and consequently only two out of all your list are to be seen at this day, viz : 1. "The will of Christopher Slocombe of Durston in the county of Somerset, husbandman, is dated May 20, 1660. He devises a legacy to each of the following persons : to his sister, Anne Slocombe ; to John, Deanes, and Margaret Slocombe, his brother's children ; and to William, Thomas, Joane, and Susanna Slocombe, and styles his brother 'their father.' Margery, his wife, he appoints his sole executrix. This will was proved at Taunton February 16, 1660-1." 2. "The will of Robert Slocombe, the younger, of the parish of Over Stowey, in the county of Somerset, yeoman, is dated August 22, 1660. He devises legacies as follows : to Alice (Sloadenby ?), daughter to his brother Richard Slocombe ; to his sister Elizabeth, wife of John Howlase ; and to Humphrey, John, William, and Joane Slocombe, his brothers and sister. He gives to Robert Slocombe, the elder, his father, all the lands, meadows, and pastures, which he holds conjointly with his brother, Richard, and appoints his father his sole executor. This will was proved at Taunton December 7, 1660. An inventory of his personal goods, dated December 5, 1660, and amounting to ,74.00.00, is annexed." "The absence of the earlier wills at Taunton presents a formidable obstacle, and I should be glad of your opinion as to the best course to pursue under the circumstances. It is sufficiently clear that no further assistance can be obtained from wills ; and the only available source of information left to us seems to be the parochial registers bearing date from a sufficiently early period. You will observe that the name of Anthony, Edward, or Giles, [the founders of the Slocum family in America] does not occur except in the will of Charity Slocombe, of Old Cleeve, who names her son 'Giles Slocombe.' This was in Novem- ber, 1642, and Giles Slocombe, of Portsmouth, in Rhode Island, is assumed to have settled in America before that time. Now, had Charity Slocombe's son, Giles, been in America at the time when she made her will she would hardly have appointed him her sole executor. Ports- mouth, in Rhode Island, is said in your letter to have been founded in 1638; and you add that Giles Slocombe settled there at that time, or soon after. If it be possible that he did not settle there until 1643, he may be identical with this Giles, who might be conjectured to have RESEARCHES IN ENGLAND CONCERNING THE ANCESTORS. 23 emigrated so soon as he inherited what his mother had to leave. She names no other children, but as there is evidence that Anthony Slo- combe was in America in 1637, and Edward Slocombe may have also been there about that time, it might reasonably be supposed that they were likewise her sons, and their absence abroad would be quite sufficient to account for the omission of their names from their mother's will. This, of course, is mere conjecture, based upon the supposition that Anthony, Edward and Giles were brothers.* You will judge how far it is reasonable, and whether you deem that this clue should be followed out. I will find out when the registers of Old Cleeve commence ; but as Charity Slocombe left money to be distributed amongst her brother Aldred Bickham's servants, and as three of the Bickham family witness her will, she very probably was living in her brother's house during her widowhood, and we are again at a loss to know where her husband had resided. The bequest to the poor of the parish of Goathurst (5^ miles N. of Taunton) must not, however, be overlooked as implying some former connection with that place. I should be glad of your opinion on these points." The research is still being continued, and additional reports are expected.^ The report of the Heralds' Visitation of the County of Devon in the year 1620, as published by the Harleian Society, London, 1872, informs us that Roger Dimond, 2d, of Tiverton, married Elizabeth, daughter of " Slocum of Devon," and had a grand-daughter who was seven years of age in 1620. Also that "John Lande of Tiverton married Maude, daughter of Davy Slocombe of Wis- combe, County Somerset," and had eight children, the eldest, Dorothy, being twenty-one years of age in that year (1620). Gordon W. J. Gyll, Esq., in his Histoty of Wraysbury Parish, and Town of Colnbrook, Buckinghamshire, published in London in 1862, gives the name of John Slocombe who died A. D. 1607, leaving a son Edmund who was baptized 14 Sep- tember, 1600, and died in 1668 leaving a son John who was living in Colnbrook in 1682. The writer visited Wraysbury in 1879 DUt could learn nothing in addition to the above. *Mr. Savage in his New England Genealogical Dictionary presumed that An- thony and Giles Slocombe were brothers but he found no positive evidence that such was the relationship. fin the book entitled "Result of some Researches among the British Archives for information relative to the Founders of New England, made in the years 1858, 1859, and i860," by Samuel (I. Drake of Boston, we read that "whoever goes to England expecting to find the genealogy of any particular family settled in New England at an early day, is pretty sttre, in at least nine cases out of ten, to meet with disappointment For the descendant of a New England emigrant to find his ancestor among the nobility or landed gentry of the period of the emigra- tion, is about as certain as it would be to find him among those classes of the present 24 THE SLOCUMS, SLOCUMBS, AND SLOCOMBS, OF AMERICA. Edmund Slocombe, " a citizen and habadasher of London," died A. D. 1668, leaving a will which was proved in the Pre- rogative Court of Chancery in that city 26 January, 1669. His brother John was one of the executors ; and the heirs named were the testator's son Edmund and daughter Mary. The " Calendars of the Proceedings in Chancery in the Reign of Queen Elizabeth" (A. D. 1558-1603) were printed in three folio volumes in 1827-32. On page 68 of volume iii the following title is given, viz. : "John Slocombe, plaintiff, Thomas Slocombe, defendant. Object of suit : Claim under a will, and for relief against fraudulent practices of the defendant to defeat the same. Premisses ; Lands and tenements in the parish of Whiteheythefyed, and Stogumber Awlecombe in the parish of Dunster, Wolston in the parish of Bickenaller, lands called Cattes Closes and Deane, in the parish of Bisshopps Liddiard, County Somerset." In Brendon Parish, Lynmouth, Barnstaple, Devonshire, there are two hamlets called Upper and Lower Slocombeslade, or Slocomslade. " Slade " signifies a meadow, and it is inferred that the hamlets derived their name from the proprietor of the meadow lands on which they were built. The dates of their origin are unknown to the writer. On account of an arbitrary ruling of the authorities at Exeter, relative to the copying of day ! As the great body of emigrants to New England took no pains to transmit to their descendants any account of their ancestors, or even the places whence they came, it is pretty evident they had nothing to expect from the one, or any special regard for the other Parish registers seldom indicate any connection with the so-called higher classes." William Courthorpe, Somerset Registrar of the College of Arms, London, has also expressed himself frankly on this subject, as follows : " Seldom or never can we connect the families of emigrants to America as early as the year 1645 with their rela- tives in England ; they were probably designedly left out of the English pedigree, and unless they carried with them to their adopted country a clue to their English ancestry it was soon lost altogether." See The Douglas Genealogy. Apropos to this subject are the statements of the distinguished English historian, Edward A. Freeman, who has proved most positively that few families in England, even, could trace a descent from scions of the fourteeth century, and he mentions only some five or six families whose history could be proved as belonging to the time of William the Conqueror. As to those who could show that their ancestors were of true Saxon blood before the Conquest, there were only two or three in all England. The history of a family is always exceedingly difficult to trace, and often, when it is lost, inventive power comes in, and ingenuity supplies the facts. Innumerable English genealogical trees were shattered by Mr. Freeman's expose. He further states that the ' Domesday Book ' (A. D. 1080-1086) alone upsets in a moment countless false pedigrees ; but, without some other evidence, it gives very little help toward establishing a true one. See The New York Times, 1880. THE FIRST SLOCOMBE COAT OF ARMS. 2$ records or making extracts from them, nothing can be done at present with the wills in Devonshire if there be any there of interest to this enquiry. It is inferred from an examination of the directories of a number of English cities and counties, and from enquiries made in different parts of Great Britain, that the name Slocombe is not very common there at the present time. COAT OF ARMS. The Coat of Arms of "Slocombe of Somersetshire," roughly sketched with pen and ink has been seen by the writer in the British Museum Library, London, in Harleian MS. No. 1385 which represents, in part, the report of the Heralds' Visitation of Somersetshire, England, about the year 1573. This coat of arms is described in the larger books on heraldry as follows : "Argent on a fess gules between three griffins' heads couped sable, as many sinister wings or. Crest A griffin's head gules between two wings expanded or." * A careful search was instituted to determine the names of the ancestors and descendants of its owner, but without success. Upon visiting the College of Arms I was informed by the Herald in charge that there is now no claimant for this coat of arms ; and he exhibited a copy of " the only coat of arms now belonging to a Slocombe family in England," which is very different from that above described, and was granted in the year 1672 a generation after the first emigration to America to David Slocombe of the Parish of Bishop's Lydeard, Somersetshire, who gave the name of his father as David Slocombe but did not give the name of his grandfather. This coat of arms is not described in the general publications on heraldry. Whether the first grant lapsed with the emigration to America, or otherwise, * x Argent silver; gules red; couped cut off smooth; sable black; or gold. The fess is a broad band crossing the middle of the shield laterally, and "represents the waist-belt or girdle of honor which was one of the insignia of knighthood." A griffin is a chimerical creature retained from ancient times, and is most frequently represented with the body and legs of a lion, and the head, neck and wings, of an eagle, with ears. The classical conception of this character was watchfulness, strength, and swiftness. 4 26 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA is not known to the writer. .An engraving of it is presented as a frontispiece to this book according to the copy tricked in the Harleian MS. and the description given in the books on heraldry, with the addition of foliage under the shield. Various forms of scroll with motto, or other ornamentation, have been represented extraneous to the shield and crest, the device being often chosen with reference to some characteristic, real or fancied, of the person or family bearing the arms. There being nothing of the kind found in this case I have had engraved a representation of sprigs of the Sloe-tree in flower, leaf,* and fruit, as significant of the origin of the name Slocombe. THE FOUNDERS OF THE SLOCUM FAMILY IN AMERICA. The name Slocum (Slocombe) first appeared in America, so far as the writer has been able to determine,! with the persons of Anthony, Giles, and Edward Slocombe. The relationship that existed between them has not been definitely ascertained.^; The name of the ship in which they were passengers from England and the date and place of their landing, are also lost *The leaves of the Sloe-tree (Primus spinosd) are rather obovate in form, not ovate-lanceolate as shown in the frontispiece.- f The name of " Dauey [Davey] Slawcome, Carpenter," appears in a list of names with the following heading, but no further mention of him has been found : " These men Whose names are heere vnder written belonginge vnto the Friendshipe of Lon- don, nowe ridinge att An Ankere in the reuer of Themes bound for Vergenia ; March 1636." See the book entitled "The Original Lists of Persons of Quality; Emigrants ; Religious Exiles ; Political Rebels ; Serving Men sold for a term of years ; Apprentices ; Children Stolen ; Maidens Pressed ; and others who went from Great Britain to the American Plantations from A. D. 1600 to 1700, etc.," compiled from MSS. preserved in the State-paper Department of Her Majesties Public Record Office, England, by John C. Hotten, 1874. This publication includes the names of but a part of those who removed to America in the seventeenth century ; no record has been found of the larger portion of them. \ The tradition that three Slocum (Slocombe) brothers from England were the founders of the name in America, is, perhaps, the most widely held of all the various traditions among the Slocums, Slocumbs, and Slocombs,, of the present time. In a sketch of some of the early American families or Slocums, published in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, October, 1880, I classed Anthony as the father of Giles from the fact of his having referred to, his sons (grand-sons ?) in a letter (see sketch of Anthony Slocombe ; No. i), and no descendants being found other than from the children of Giles ; and also that the children of Giles succeeded to the possession of the land where Anthony was last known to reside. IN RELATION TO THE SOCIETY OF FRIENDS. 2J points in their history, and probably past recovery, as is the case concerning so many of the pioneers to America. Anthony is recorded* as one of the first purchasers of Cohannet, New Plymouth, now Taunton and its vicinity in Massachusetts, in the year 1637 ; and it is also written that most of the " first and ancient purchasers'" of that territory several of whom were also from the vicinity of Taunton, Eng- land, came immediately from Dorchester, Massachusetts, where landings were made from the year 1630. Giles settled in Portsmouth Township, Rhode Island, in the year 1638 (?), and there died in 1682. Edward is recorded! as one of the two " Supvisors of the Highwaies for Tanton" June 1, 1647. His name does not appear in the list of inhabitants over sixteen and under sixty years of age who were subject to military duty in Taunton in the year 1643 ; nor has anything further been found definitely relating to him. THE SLOCUMS IN RELATION TO THE SOCIETY OF FRIENDS. The history of the Society of Friends in New England dates from the year 1656, and some points in this history are here sketched inasmuch as the Slocombes (Slocums) early became active members of the Society and the succeeding generations have continued their membership in some lines to the present time. It is inferred that Giles 2 Slocombe (sketch No. 2) became a member early in the Society's history in Rhode Island. The records of the Friends' Monthly Meeting for Portsmouth, R. I., are preserved only from the date of Twelfth month 10th, 1676, and these records show that " Giles Slocum, senior," was a member of committees in the business of the Society. In his will, dated October 10, 1681, he remembered his " Louing *See An Historical Memoir of the Colony of New Plymouth, by Francis Baylies ; Boston, 1830. f See Records of the Colony of New Plymouth in New England. Court Orders, vol. ii, p. 115. 28 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA friends the people of God called Quakers " with a bequest ; see sketch No. 2. The old record of the births of Friends' children is still preserved near Newport. It begins with the names of two children born in the year 1638, three born in 1640, and three in 1642, Johanna, daughter of this Giles Slocum, being one of the number born in the last named year. The government of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations being in the hands of the Baptists and Friends no religious perse- cution was effected therein, and these Societies should have the honor accorded them of being the founders, and for a long time the only sustainers, of civil and religious liberty, not only in these Plantations but in New Plymouth and Massachusetts as well, and against great odds. They well deserve the name of the " Protestants of the Puritans."* No positive evidence has been found showing that Anthony Slocombe joined the Society of Friends, but there is good circumstantial evidence that he did unite with them about the year 1662, and that such union was the cause of his removal to Dartmouth and his exclusion there from the rights of citizenship ; see sketch No. 1. It is believed that the early settlers of Dart- mouth either thought they were settling within the bounds of Rhode Island, the land of liberty, or sought that region, isolated from the settled parts of New Plymouth, for the peace- able enjoyment of their religious convictions. After the widespread destruction of life and property by the Indians in the disastrous contest known as King Philip's War, the General Court of New Plymouth promulgated the following document under date of the 4th of October, 1675, Vlz - ' " This Court, taking into theire serious Consideration the tremendus dispensations of God towards the people of Dartmouth, in suffering the barborous heathen to spoile and destroy most of their habitations,! the enimie being greatly advantaged thervnto by theire scattered way of liueing, doe therefore order, that in the rebuilding or resettleing thereof, *In their petition to Charles II for a Charter in i662-'63, the people of Rhode Island declared "how much it is in our hearts to hold forth a lively experiment, that a most flourishing civil state may stand, and best be maintained, with a full liberty of religious concernments." The Charter was granted in accordance with their wishes ; and "nowhere in the world" says Bancroft in his History of the United States, "were life, liberty, and property, safer than in Rhode Island." fThe Indians under Philip "burned nearly thirty houses in Dartmouth, killing many people after a most barbarous manner, as skinning them all over alive, some only their heads, cutting off their hands and feet The inhabitants IN RELATION TO THE SOCIETY OF FR that they soe order it as to Hue compact together, att lage, as they may be in a capassitie both to defend themselues from the assault of an enemie, and the better to attend the publicke worship of God, and Minnestry of the word of God, whose carelesnes to obtaine and attend vnto, wee fear, may haue bine a prouocation of God thus to chastise theire contempt of his gospell, which wee earnestly desire the people of that place may seriously consider off, lay to hart, and be humbled for, with a Sollisitus indeauor after a reformation thereof by a vigorous puting forth to obtaine an able, faithfull dispenser of the word of God amongst them, and to incurrage him therin, the neglect wherof this Court as they must not, and, God willing, they will not prmit for the future. Alsoe this Court doth order, that the people of Middlebury doe attend the like course in theire rebuilding and resettleing, as is ordered for Dart- mouth. And that none shall for the future erect any house or cottage without speciall lycence giuen him, in any place soe farr remote from the publicke worship of God that they can not comfortable attend the same." Three sons and one daughter of Giles 2 Slocombe of Ports- mouth, Rhode Island, removed to Dartmouth Township, New Plymouth, to begin life for themselves, Giles 3 in 1669, six years before Philip's War, and Peleg, Mary, and Eliezer, soon after the war. They were all members of the Society of Friends ; and the Friends and Baptists comprised the larger portion of the residents of that township. Notwithstanding their superior numbers the persecutions of these sects, for refusing to support the Colonial Church, were continued with vigor in Dartmouth and Tiverton the only townships in New Plymouth continuing inflexible in their resistance of the tax levied for that church while they faithfully paid all other rates. One indictment followed another for many years. In 1724 Dartmouth voted not to raise the imposed tax of ^100 to sustain the Colonial Church, but to raise ^700 to sustain the Selectmen in not making the rate they to be allowed a certain sum for each day passed in prison on account of their non-compliance with the Court Order. Two men of Dartmouth and two of Tiverton Baptists and were most of them Quakers." This war cost the Colony six hundred men and one million dollars.

There were books for recording the marriages, births, and deaths, occurring among the members, and books, kept by another clerk, for the business transactions of the monthly meetings. Thus much has been preserved concerning individ- uals, of interest to their descendants, that otherwise would have been irrecoverably lost. The following transcripts may serve as illustrations of their method of recording events affecting, or liable to affect, their interests : "At a monthly man and woman's meeting in the house of Jabez Greene [in East Greenwich Township, Rhode Island,] this 5 th of 12 th month, 1699, its the mind of this meeting that Ebenezer Slocum[ of Jamestown Township, R. I. ; see sketch No. 6,] and Daniel Cogshall are chosen to appoint where a meeting house shall be built and set up for this purpose, to wait upon God in, and to worship him in spirit and in truth." This meeting-house was built on the land of John Spencer, about one-half mile southwest of the present Village of East Greenwich, and near the four corners.! * ' ' The Quaker never would pay tithes ; never yielded to any human law which traversed his conscience. He did more ; he resisted tyranny with all the moral energy of enthusiasm, bearing witness against blind obedience not less than against will worship The heaviest penalties that bigotry could devise never induced him to swerve a hair's breadth from his purpose of speaking freely and publicly. This was his method of resisting tyranny." "The Friends were among the worst persecuted of religious sects, but they never showed any spirit of retaliation. When urged to denounce their enemies they invari- ably answered, 'We leave them with the Lord.' They bore all imprisonment patiently and unflinchingly. They were the true pioneers of freedom ; asked no privilege for themselves that they were not willing to concede to others ; they advo- cated entire freedom of opinion and expression for Protestant and Romanist, Christian and Infidel. They did not profess to have discovered new truth or to aim at the establishment of a new creed ; they sought to effect a reform in manners rather than in belief." "The Friends have probably never at any one time exceeded 200,000 in number. But the purity of their lives and their constant outspoken testimony against all immorality, war, intemperance, and especially against slavery, have exercised an influence over the opinions and practices of the civilized world altogether greater than that of any other body of men of . no greater numbers that has existed in modern times. The number in the United States is now estimated to be about 100,000, and in all other countries combined about 50,000."

Part Second. THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA. SKETCH No. I. Anthony 1 Slocombe is recorded (as "Anthony Slocum ")* as one of the forty-six "first and ancient purchasers," A. D. 1637, of the territory of Cohannet which was incorporated 3 March, 1639, with the name of Taunton in New Plymouth, now Massa- chusetts, and from which the present Townships of Taunton, Raynham, and Berkley have been organized. The interests of the several purchasers were in the ratio of six, eight, and twelve, the subject of this sketch purchasing eight shares. His name also appears in various records as follows : August, 1643. In a list for Taunton of "The Names of all the Males [fifty-four in number] that are able to beare Armes from xvj Yeares old to 60 Yeares w th in the seu r all Towneshippes." f October 29, 1650.

In the list of "Freemen a mitted this Court, and sworne." June 7, 1659. In the list of twenty persons "Sworne as the Grand Enquest." December 28, 1659. In the list of " The names of those inhabitants within the township of Taunton, who are to have their division of land now agreed upon, December 28, 1659, whose proportion is to be according to the rate here following, together with the quantity of land, lots and heads, at two acres to the head, two acres to the shilling, and two acres to the lot." Under this agreement he is recorded with a rating of nineteen shillings and four pence ; six heads ; and fifty-three acres. X June 3, 1662. As one of the two " Surveyors of the Highwaies " for Taunton. * See An Historical Memoir of the Colony of New Plymouth, by Francis Baylies ; part i, p. 286. ^Records of the Colony of New Plymouth, in New England; Boston, 1855. % Baylies' Memoir of New Plymouth, part ii, page 270. 5 34 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA. This is the last date at which his name appears as a resident of Taunton. We are informed by Baylies* and Ricketsonf that he disposed of his rights in Taunton to Richard Williams and removed, probably about the year 1662. to that part of New Plymouth which was incorporated in 1664 with the name of Dart- mouth Township, and of which he and one Ralph Russell were the first settlers. The subject of this sketch settled near Pasca- manset River which has since been more generally known as Slocum's River. f His subsequent history has not been ascer- tained. His name does not appear in any of the " exact lists of all freemen in Dartmouth " made from time to time and dating certainly as early as 29 May, 1670. This exclusion from the rights of citizenship was probably a result of his union with the Society of Friends ; see page 28. There has been preserved a fragment of a letter written by him in Dartmouth to his " brother-in-law, William Harvey, in Taun- ton," as follows, date not preserved : " To the Church of Christ in Taunton, and Mr. Shove [the pastor] and yourself in particular, I desire to be remembered, whose prayers I doubt not I and mine are the better for, and whose welfare I earnestly wish and pray for. Myself, wife, and sons, and daughter Gilbert who hath four sons, remember our respects and loves, and my sons are all married, &c."* It is inferred from this letter that he married a sister of William Harvey who was also one of the first purchasers of Taunton in equal interest with him. William Harvey remained in Taunton where he became a prominent citizen and for several successive years was chosen Deputy to the General Court being evidence conclusive that he was not a member of the Society of Friends. The Court Records for New Plymouth contain the information that " At a Court of Assistants, William Harvey and Joane Hucker of Cohannett were marryed the second of Aprill, 1639." No record of Anthony Slocombe's marriage having been found, it is presumed that he was married before his arrival in the colonies. * Baylies, op; cit. See, also, The Ministry of Taunton, by Rev. Samuel H. Emery, 2 vols. 12 mo. Boston, 1853 ; vol. i, p. 171. Mr. George Shove who is mentioned in the above letter, was ordained the third pastor at Taunton 19 Nov. 1665, but was a resident of that place previous to this date ; he died 21 April, 1687. f See The History of New Bedford, by Daniel Ricketson ; 12 mo., New Bed- ford, Mass., 1858. FIRST GENERATION. 35 Mr. Savage, in his Genealogical Dictionary,* presumes that the "sons" referred to in Anthony Slocombe's letter, as given above, were Eliezer Slocum (see sketch No. u), Giles Slocum (No. 5), and Peleg Slocum (No. 8), who were among the proprietors of Dartmouth in the year 1694. This presump- tion is undoubtedly erroneous ; they were sons of Giles 2 Slocombe of Portsmouth, Rhode Island (sketch No. 2), as the records of Rhode Island and Dartmouth clearly show. They may have been grand-sons to Anthony, however, as grand-sons were called "sons" at that time, and nephews were called "cousins." Anthony Slocombe's household of six heads, recorded in Taunton 28 December, 1659, ma y have been composed of him- self and wife, their daughter and her husband John (?) Gilbert, and two grand-sons ; or, one, two, or three servants may have been counted to make up the number six. If Anthony had own sons living in Dartmouth they probably died young perhaps were, with him, killed in Philip's War in 1675. No further mention has been found of them, and no one has been identified as descendants of theirs. f Anthony Slocombe, by his wife Harvey, had the fol- lowing children (?) : 2. i. Giles,| married Joan ; died in Portsmouth Township, R. I., A. D. 1682. ii. Edward, resided in Taunton, N. P., 1 June, 1647; see P- 2 7 iii. A daughter, married John (?) Gilbert and had four sons living in Dartmouth, N. P., in the latter part of the seventeenth century, iv. John, born A.

Benjamin Crane, sur- veyor, was able, however, to transfer many of his former land-surveys from his memorandum-book. See Ricketson's History of New Bedford, p. 179. \ While the question of the degree of relationship that existed between Anthony, Giles, and Edward Slocombe, must remain somewhat in doubt until further infor- mation is obtained, the writer has thought best to let this record show as above after considering all of the evidence found ; see the third note on page 26. The value of human life, and the care and fullness with which records were kept in the early history of New Plymouth, are illustrated in the following extract taken from the Records of the Colony of JVew Plymouth in New England ; Court Orders, vol. ii, p. 174, viz.: " Taunton, June the 10, anno 165 1.

His name does not appear in the list of the nineteen persons who were the first to settle there the " 7th of First month, commonly called March, 163I," but additions were made to that number previous to the 13th of Third month when the first town-meeting was held. The township was given the name of Pocasset at this meeting, and " it was voted that none should be received as inhabitants, or freemen, to build or plant upon the island [then called Acquidneck] but such as should be mett together to enquire and consider of the death of the said John, doe find as followeth : "Imprimis, that on the 251 of Febreuary last the said John, goeing with a com- panie of psons, to the number of twenty, Vnto a pond called the Fowling Pond, about two miles from the towne, to gather cramberies, in his returning, made som stay behind ye said companie, about a mile from his house, vpon confidence of his knowlidge of the way home, being nine yeares of age, but mis;ng of the path, strayed in the woods, and returned not againe.

A number withdrew from the compact, however, perhaps on account of the shallowness of the water at the landing, and were the first to form a settlement at Newport, about six miles south, the 28th day of Second month, 1639. Twenty-nine persons remained in Pocasset, reorganized the gov- ernment, and, July 1st, 1639, changed the name of the township to " Portsmouth " which it has since retained, f The following transcripts and abstracts have been made by the writer from the old and much-worn Township Records of Ports- mouth, R.

He was married, previous to the year 1674, to Meribah Parker (?), and died without children. His will was dated 6 April, 1698, and was proved 2 February, 1702.* In this will his " wife Meribah " is named executrix of his estate, and " Cousin John Slocum son of my brother Nathaniel, Cousin Peter Parker son of Joseph deceased, and Cousin Patience Tucker" (see family No. 10), are named as heirs. f 5 Hon.

The wills of residents of Monmouth County of later dates can be found at Freehold, N. J. f Judge William H. Slocum of Ocean Port, N. J., communicated to the Long Branch Neivs of 11 April, 1867, an amusing legend of a wrestling contest between John Slocum and an Indian of East New Jersey who was chosen by his tribe for the purpose the stake being a gift to Slocum by the Indians of as much land as he could walk around in a day's time if he proved victor, otherwise he was to leave East New Jersey to the undisputed possession of the Indians. Mr. Slocum, who was of large size and very athletic, finally vanquished his antagonist whose body was nude, and had been greased for the contest and thereupon he was permitted to make choice of and occupy that part of Long Branch territory extending from the seashore to Turtle Mill Brook and embracing all lands situate north of the main road from the sea to Eatontown and between these points to the South Shrewsbury River, excepting Fresh Pond and Snag Swamp. It is stated that he settled on the part known as Parker's Neck, or Farms, where the Metropolitan, Coopers, and Atlantic hotels now stand ; and he included in his favorite territory Slocum's Island in Pleasure Bay. A considerable portion of the above described lands remained in possession of the Slocums of Long Branch descendants of his brother Nathaniel as late as the year 1835, % The 7th of March, 1670, '.'

In the confirmatory deed of Governor William Brad- ford, 13 November, 1694, Eliezer Slocum and his brothers Giles (page 43) and Peleg (page 50) were named among the proprietors of Dartmouth which then included the present Townships of Dartmouth, New Bedford, Westport, and Fairhaven. He dealt quite extensively in lands, and was very successful in the accumulation of property considering the newness of the country and the various unfavorable circumstances of his time. The oppressions of the New Plymouth and Massachusetts governments^: show a marked contrast between the civil standing of these brothers, and all other members of the Society of Friends, * See third note on page 43, and second note on page 51. f The name " Elephel" was probably either taken from the Bible, 1 Chr. xi, 35, or was derived from Eahljled (Anglo-Saxon and Teutonic), signifying hall, all or increase. Tradition agreeing in families widely separated for generations says that Elephel Fitzgerald was a lady of high birth, and some families hold that she was among the number of young women who were forcibly brought to America and sold for wives to respectable purchasers the purchase money in this instance amounting to about $600. This tradition is possibly true. The " children stolen," " maidens pressed," and political prisoners (see second note on page 26) from England were in great demand in the American Colonies and many women were brought who were "young, handsome, and well-recommended for their virtuous education and demeanour, and were sold as wives to the planters fetching from one hundred and twenty to three hundred and fifty pounds of tobacco, i. e. from 1% to ^52 sterling." See Stith's History of Virginia, page 197. " This traffic continued for many years. The battles consequent on the civil wars of the Kingdom furnished large numbers for the trade. Scots taken at Dunbar [A. D. 1650] and two hundred and seventy of the royalist prisoners taken by Cromwell at the Battle of Worcester, [A. D. 165 1] were landed and sold in New England." John Cotton, the minister at Boston, wrote to Cromwell that they were "kindly used, having been sold for a limited servitude in a country where their labour was welcome, and not ill-rewarded." The insurrectionists of Penruddock, Roman Catholics from Ireland, and nearly one thousand state prisoners eagaged in the Duke of Monmouth's Rebellion, A. D. 1685, were shipped to the colonial freeholders. See Knight's History of England. Also A History of Georgia, by Rev. William B. Stevens, M. D., etc. Mrs. Julia (Ferris) Pearce (see family No. 25) of Pawling, N. Y., a descendant of Eliezer 3 and Elephel (Fitzgerald) Slocum, communicated to the writer in 1881 the tradition held in her family concerning the coming of Elephel Fitzgerald to America, as follows : A daughter of Earl Edmund (?) Fitzgerald of Dublin became affianced to an English officer, against her father's will, and eloped with him taking with her a younger sister, this Lady Elephel, whom they brought to America, perhaps to further the success of their plans. \ New Plymouth Colony was united with the Colony of Massachusetts Bay in the year 1691.

The former were excluded from the rights of citizenship and the privilege of holding office, though they were obliged to bear their proportion of the governmental burden ; while the presence and counsel of the latter were much sought in directing public affairs. Eliezer Slocum's will was proved 30 July, 1727, and his estate was appraised at .5,790. iSs. lid. personal ^665. 18s. nd. ; real .5,125 exclusive of the former gifts to his children. " Elephel Slocum, widow and relict of Eliezer Slocum," made a will the 19th day of 1st mo. called March, 1 745-6," in which she devised a considerable estate. Her will was proved 4 October, 1748. The following is a copy of Eliezer Slocum's will made by the writer from the original will which is still preserved in the probate office at Taunton, Bristol County, Massachusetts : "I Eliezer Slocum of Dartmouth in the County of Bristol In His Majesties Province of the Massachusetts Bay In N" England Yeoman, Being of perfect mind and sound memory, Thanks be given unto God, Calling to mind the Mortality of my Body and Knowing that it is apointed for all men once to die, do make and Ordain this my last will and Testament, That is to say Principally and first of all, I give and Commend my Soul into the Hands of God that gave it, And my Body I recommend to the Earth to be Decently Buried at the discretion of my Executors.

In a deed of sale to Godfrey Malbone, made 21 February, 1771, he was styled a blacksmith.

Joseph Slocum, the father of this sketch, and Isaac Tripp, Esq., the father-in-law, removed thither about 1768 or '69, and Jonathan, leaving his family behind, followed them after the above sale as is shown by the following record : " A lot surveyed to Colonel Lodwick Ojidirk in ' y e township called y e 'Capoose Meadow' passed into the hands of Jonathan Slocum in 177 1, on account of Slocum's 'Doeing y e Duty of a settler' for Ojikirk." * This lot was within, or near, the limits of the present City of Scranton, Pa. It appears that Jonathan Slocum returned to Rhode Island, as his name is again found on the records there as " of Warwick" in a sale of land to John Lilly, and in a mortgage taken in part payment therefor, under date of 16 April, 1774. At this time his household in Warwick, R. I., numbered fourteen heads ; see note on page 75. It is highly probable that he returned to the Wyoming Valley with his family in the year I774.t On the 6th of November, 1775, he received from Jona- than Fitch a deed of Lot No. 15 in the Second Division of the Town-plat of the present Wilkes-Barre, Pa. He also purchased, previous to 1777, Lot No. 17 in the old Township of Putnam, now Tunkhannock, Wyoming Co., Pa. He settled, with his family, in a house within an hundred yards of Wilkes-Barre Fort and there his daughter Frances was seized by Indians the 2d of November, 1778, and carried into captivity ; see sketch No. 242. The Hon. Charles Miner, in his History of Wyoming, after nar- rating the particulars of her abduction wrote as follows : "The cup of vengeance was not yet full. December 16th [1778] Mr. Slocum and Isaac Tripp, Esq., his father-in-law, an aged man, with William Slocum, a youth of nineteen or twenty, were feeding cattle from a stack in the meadow, in sight of the fort, when they were fired upon by Indians. Mr. Slocum was shot dead ; Mr. Tripp wounded, speared, and tomahawked; both were scalped. William, wounded by a spent ball in the heel, escaped and gave the alarm, but the alert and wiley foe had retreated to his hiding-place in the mountain. This deed, bold as * History of Luzerne, Lackawanna, and Wyoming Counties, Pennsylvania ; New York, 1880. \ In Peck's History of Wyoming, and in various histories of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, it is recorded that Jonathan Slocum removed to the Wyoming Valley in the year 1777. 124 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA. it was cruel, was perpetrated within the town plat, in the centre of which the fortress was located. Thus, in little more than a month, Mrs. Slocum had lost a beloved child carried into captivity j the doorway had been drenched in blood by the murder of an inmate of the family j two others of the household had been taken away prisoners; and now her husband and father were both stricken down to the grave, murdered and mangled by the merciless Indians. Verily, the annals of Indian atroci- ties written in blood, record few instances of desolation and woe to equal this." Jonathan Slocum was a member of the Society of Friends and was kindly disposed toward the Indians. " Being from principle a non-combatant, he considered himself and family comparatively free from danger from the attacks of the savages."* His widow died 6 May, 1807, at Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

He removed to Pawling Township, Duchess County, New York, about the close of the Revolutionary War, and married Hannah Cook of that place. They settled on a farm in Pawling and there died he, 14 July, 1843. He was a leading man in his township for many years, being very enter- prising and successful in his undertakings. Farm after farm was added to his possessions until he owned fifteen hundred acres or more of land in a body. During the last thirty years of his life he was somewhat of an invalid from gout (?), and his principal mode of locomotion was by a wheel-chair moved by an attendant. In this way he kept his farm under close observation, and planned and superintended his extensive and successful business transac- tions. Besides the ordinary routine of farming he dealt largely in live-stock fattening over one hundred head of cattle each year, also many hogs and sheep. He also conducted a general store, and a tavern which proved rather unfortunate for his sons. There is now but one of his children living Mrs. Emma Arnold and the sur-name is extinct in this line.

SEVENTH GENERATION. 193 After marriage the subjects of this sketch dwelt in Dartmouth, he as a farmer and school-teacher, until the year 1832, when they removed to New Bedford where he held various public offices for a period of twenty-five years including a colonelcy in the Massachusetts Militia. He also made some in- vestments in whale-fishing and received liberal returns therefrom. He purchased a large tract of woodland in Michigan, and removed his family thither in the year 1856 settling at Flint. He engaged in the manufacture and sale of lumber at Flint, Fentonville, Holly, and Detroit, and, by his enterprise and wise management, his business became very extensive and yielded him large returns. He was a prime mover in the construction of the Flint and Holly Railroad, and was President of that corporation until its consolidation with the Flint and Pere Marquette Railroad Company. He served as Mayor of Flint, and in 1862 was elected State Senator from Genesee County and took rank among the leading mep in the Michigan Senate. He was elected Governor of Michigan on the Republican ticket in the year 1864, and held that office four years. He died in Flint 23 July, 1869. The New Bedford (Mass.) Evening Standard in an obituary and review of his former intimate relations with that city, said : " No man connected with our municipal concerns ever had to a greater extent than Mr. Henry H. Crapo the confidence of the people. He was exact and methodical in all matters of record ; conscientious and laboriously persistent in the discharge of every duty ; clear in his methods and statements in all that appertained to his official transactions. He left, at the end of his long period of service, all that belonged to his department as financial or recording officer, so lucid and complete thatno error has ever been detected, or any improvement made upon his plans." The Detroit Tribune closed its obituary notice of him with the following tribute to his worth : " In all the public positions he held, Governor Crapo showed him- self a capable, discreet, vigilant and industrious officer. . . . Michigan never before had a Governor who devoted as much personal attention and painstaking labor to her public duties as he did. His industry was literally amazing." .... For a number of years Mr. Crapo was a contributor to the New- England Horticultural journal, and to the Albany Country Gen- tleman. He was also greatly interested in the public schools of his 194 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA. community and contributed to the advancement of their interests.* Mrs. Crapo died in Flint, Michigan, 21 February, 1875, and was buried there beside her husband in Glenwood Cemetery. The following is extracted from an obituary published in the Flint Globe: " Mrs. Crapo's was a character of rare precious qualities. Of New England birth and education, she had all the earnestness, and exalted veneration for truth and honor, and the high sense of duty which belong to the best type of New-England people. During a long life, full of duties and not free from afflictions, she walked always helpfully beside her husband, the two combining in a singular degree the executive force which conquers obstacles, and the grace which wins love and esteem. Since the death of her husband she has devoted herself to the duties of her home, meeting all the demands of society, and looking with a watch- ful eye over the interests of her children. Her death will be severely felt in the community." The Detroit Free Press closed an obituary as follows : "Among those who will mourn Mrs. Crapo's departure most are the poor of the city whom she never forgot, her heart beating in sympathy with them. Generous and kind, she can but be missed, and a void is left that cannot be easily filled. She was an earnest Christian and a devoted member of the Presbyterian church." Children : 214.* i. Mary A.

D., 1800. He married in Cambridge, N. Y., 4 May, 1825, Margaret Pierson Jermain, daughter of Sylvanus P. and Margaret (Pierson) Jermain, formerly of Sag Harbor, Long Island, N. Y., where she was born 4 March, 1804. Her father was a Major in the War of 18 12. Mr. Slocum settled in Syracuse, N. Y., where he became a merchant, and, by his public spirit and active business habits, contributed much to the interest and business of that city. He was elected to the New York Legislature (Assemblyman) from Onondaga County in the year 1849. Subsequently he made two journeys to Russia, and was employed by that Government to establish agricultural schools in the Empire, and to import American improvements in agricultural implements. One of the first plows that he took to that country was placed in the Russian National Museum as an object of great interest. He died 25 March, 1863, in Syracuse and was buried there in Oakwood Cemetery. The newspapers of his city in reviewing his life referred to him as "a man of large intellect, fine education and gentlemanly attainments possessed of the most liberal views on all matters As a legislator he served with fidelity to his constituents and honor to himself." His old friends in Syracuse still bear him in kindly remembrance. Children : i. Margaret Olivia, born 8 September, 1828 ; married Russell Sage. They reside in New York City. Mr. Sage was born in Oneida County, N. Y., 4 August, 1816. After attending common-school a few years he commenced active life as a clerk in Troy about the year 1826, and continued in mercantile business until 1853. He served as Alderman in TrOy seven years, from 1841, and also as Treasurer of Rensselaer County for seven years. He was elected Repre- sentative to the 33d U. S. Congress two terms, from 1853 till 1857, and was first to advocate the purchase of Mount Vernon, Va., by the U. S. Government. For a number of years he has been one of the most prominent and success- ful stock operators in Wall-street, New York, and a few years ago it was said of him that he had built and managed more railroads than any other man in America. He has also been successfully engaged in banking. See the book entitled " Successful Folks ; " Hartford, 1878. Also Lan- man's Directory of the United States Congress. 448. ii.

He removed with his parents to the vicinity of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, about the year 1774, and there participated in the defense against the Indians during the time of the terrible massacres that devastated the Wyoming Val- ley, and he was one of the few who escaped from the most cruel and extensive slaughter of 3 July, 1778, by swimming to Monock- onock Island in the Susquehanna River, rolling in the sand and hiding under a fallen tree, covered by bushes. He married Sarah Ross of Wilkes-Barre, Pa., soon after this escape, and removed to Duchess County (?) New York. In the year 1 786 (?) they removed to Saratoga Township, Saratoga County, N. Y.,* and thence, about the year 1806, to Claverack, Columbia County, where they resided about nine years and then returned to Saratoga and set- tled three miles west of Schuylerville where they died she, 22 *In the Narrative of Col.

They were pioneer residents of Exeter Township, Luzerne County, Pa. He was elected Sheriff of that county in the year 1795, when Luzerne included the present Luzerne, Wyoming, Susquehanna, and Lackawanna Counties, and part of Bradford County. He held that office until 1799 and then retired to his farm in Pittston Township, where he was elected Justice of the Peace in 1806.

Anthony?} was born in Warwick Township, Rhode Island, 10 January, 1766, and was reared at Wilkes- Barre, Pennsylvania, from the age of about eight years. He there married, 3 Dec., 1790, Sarah, daughter of Dr. Joseph and Obedience (Sperry) Davis of that place, where she was born 31 August, 1771. In the year 1798 he purchased an interest in the grist-mill at " Deep Hollow," which soon thereafter became known as Slocum Hollow and which has since been included within the limits of the more recent City of Scranton, Pa. He there built a distillery in 1798-99 and a saw-mill in 1799. ^ n tne ^ as ^ named year his brother Benjamin succeeded his former partner, James Duwain, and together the brothers constructed an iron-forge early in the year 1800, and a second distillery in 1811. For several years thereafter whiskey, lumber, iron, flour, and feed were manu- factured in such quantities as to bring the isolated settlement before the county as one of prominence and importance- The iron ore was exhausted in 1822, and the partnership of the brothers was dissolved in 1826 Benjamin retiring from the business. Ebenezer Slocum built, in 1805, the first frame house at Slocum Hollow. This was for many years a prominent land- mark as the oldest house in Scranton, and was known as " the Slocum old red house." In size the main part was 17x44 feet, with an addition in the rear 17x34 feet all two stories in height. The upper portion was burned 10 April, 1869, and was repaired the same month. The first lodge of Odd Fellows in Scranton was organized, and for a time held meetings, in the room over the kitchen. The house was taken down in 1875 to give room for extensive steel works which are now in constant operation. Mr. Slocum was Justice of the Peace in 1821 of the district which included the present Pittston, Providence, and Exeter Townships. With his great business enterprise and thrift he accumulated, in addition toother property, 1,800 acres of land all situate within the limits of the present City of Scranton, Pa., and nearly all of it was underlaid with coal. Ruthless time and the march of improvements have nearly obliterated all traces of the works of these Slocums at Scranton ; SEVENTH GENERATION. 2IO, only the grist-mill dam, built in the year 1800, now remains. Ebenezer Slocum died suddenly of apoplexy, in the street while on a business visit to Wilkes-Barre, 25 July, 1832. His widow died 1 November, 1842. Children : 455. i. Ruth, b. 13 Sept., 1791 ; m.

He is an engineer; resides in Scranton, Pennsylvania, with one child, Helen. 242 Frances 7 Slocum {Jonathan? Joseph? Giles* Samuel, 1 Giles? Anthony?} was born in Warwick Township, Kent County, Rhode Island, in March, 1773. The next year (?) her parents removed with their family to the Wyoming Valley, Pennsylvania, and finally settled near Wilkes-Barre Fort and the Public Square of the present City of Wilkes-Barre. On the 2d day of November, 1778, a party of Delaware Indi- ans invaded the house, during the absence of the father and old- est sons, killed Nathan Kingsley, aged fifteen years, who had been kindly sheltered by Jonathan Slocum, seized little Frances with Kingsley's younger brother and a colored girl belonging to the family and carried them captives into the forest where young Kingsley soon died and where Frances remained lost to her rel- atives about fifty-nine years notwithstanding great efforts for her discovery by her brothers who personally traversed the (then) 220 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA. forest between the Susquehanna River and the great lakes, and parts of Canada, with that object, beside offering a reward of five hundred dollars for information concerning her whereabouts. In January, 1835, Col. George W. Ewing, of Logansport, Indi- ana, who was a trader with the Indians and understood something of their language, stopped one night at the house of the widow of the Chief of the Miami Indians, at their reservation about nine miles south-east of Peru, Miami County, Indiana, and became particularly interested in the features and whiteness of skin of the mistress of the house, who, beside being the widow of the Chief, was in dress, manner, and speech, apparently a full mem- ber of the tribe. After some time he learned from her that she was born of white parents, and that she was forcibly taken from their home by the Susquehanna River, when she was quite young, by the Delaware Indians ; that her father's name was Slocum ; that he was rather small in stature and wore a broad-brimmed hat (was a Friend) ; that he had sandy hair, and a light com- plexion much freckled ; that he lived in a wooden house two- stories high, and about half a mile from a town where there was a fort, etc. Col. Ewing was greatly interested in her story and wrote a letter, under date of January 20, 1835, to the postmaster at Lancaster, Pa., detailing her account and adding : " Her hus- band is dead ; she is old and feeble, and thinks she cannot live long. These considerations induced her to give the present history of herself which she never would do before, fearing her kindred would come and take her away. She has lived long and happily as an Indian is very respectable and wealthy, sober and honest ; her name is without reproach." This letter remained at Lancaster, known only to a few individuals, until August, 1837, when it was published in the Intelligencer of that place and soon thereafter found its way to Wilkes-Barre where it produced a profound sensation. " Is it Frances ? Can she be alive ? How wonderful !" Her brother Joseph immediately prepared for a journey to the distant Reservation, and took his sister, Mrs. Mary Towne, in his carriage from her home in Southern Ohio, while their brother Isaac who had been informed of the discovery by mail preceded them by public conveyance from his home in northern Ohio. SEVENTH GENERATION. 221 Upon arriving at the Reservation they found the object of their long search, who, through an interpreter, as she had entirely forgotten her mother tongue, gave a brief account of her abduction, but seemed wholly unmoved at the presence of her kindred, as such, and was not free from suspicion that there was some plan in operation to take her away or to get her land." Her recognition as the long-lost sister was settled beyond doubt by abundant evidence, including a scarred finger that had been severely injured by a hammer in the hands of a brother in her infancy. " It was evident from her wealth, the extreme attachment to the Indians and their mode of life, connected with the strength of mind and memory displayed, that Frances Slocum must have been a queen among them. Doubtless her superior understanding gave great influence, and led to a flatter- ing deference to her opinions every where. All possible pains had therefore been taken to render life pleasant to her, and doubtless to imbue her mind with fear and dislike of the whites, so that she would not make known her name ; and she had earnestly desired, when prisoners were enquired for, that she might not be betrayed, deeming a return not a blessing to be desired, but a calamity to be deplored Time and edu- cation had made her of another race and the truest wisdom dictated acquiescence in her lot." Joseph Slocum left his home in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., 10 Septem- ber, 1839, f r a second visit to his sister Frances, and was accompanied by his daughters Hannah and Harriet. Hannah, then the wife of Ziba Bennett, Esq., kept a regular journal of the journey and visit, and the others each a memorandum, from which the Rev. George Peck copied quite freely into his History of Wyoming. Only the principal incidents of the visit will be here sketched. They were received with more cordiality than were the visitors two years before. Frances not only expressed great joy at again meeting her brother, but became more com- municative and gave many additional items in her history and recollections. The whole family, in fact, seemed anxious to tell their relatives (by means of an interpreter) all they could about themselves, and to make as favorable impression as possible^ They had, the preceding spring, made eleven barrels of maple- sugar. Frances said she could have a better house, but feared 222 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA. to build one on account of the jealousy of the Indians. She had money, some that had been saved since the treaty at St. Mary's, eighteen years before. They had cloths and calicoes enough to fill a country store. They had a looking-glass, several splint- bottomed chairs, and a great many trinkets hung about the house, including beads and chains of silver and polished steel. Some of their dresses were richly ornamented with silver brooches, seven or eight rows of them as close as they could be put together. Frances had seven pairs of silver rings in her ears, and her daughters perhaps a dozen each. They had saddles and bridles of the most costly kind, six men's saddles and one side- saddle. They had between fifty and sixty horses, one hundred hogs, and seventeen head of cattle ; also geese and chickens. Their house and some outhouses were inclosed with a common worm-fence, and all were principally built of logs. Frances was of small stature, and a little bent. Her hair was clubbed behind in calico and tied with worsted ferret. She was attired in a blue calico short-gown, with a white Mackinaw blanket and a fold of broadcloth around her ; also with red cloth leggings and buckskin moccasins. She said the Delaware Indians with whom she lived a number of years slowly moved westward after her abduction, stopping some time at Niagara Falls, and thence passing along the southern shore of Lake Erie to the Detroit River. About the year 1796 her foster-parents settled near Fort Wayne, Indiana, where she lived for a period of about twenty years. She married a Dela ware Indian known as Little Turtle, who soon left her and went west of the Mississippi. She married second, in 1792 (?) the Chief of the Miamis, called by them She-poe-ken-ah, and by the white people " The Deaf Man." Her Indian name was Ma-con- a-quah, or Young Bear. They settled on the Miami Reserva- tion, nine miles southeast of the present Village of Peru, Miami County, Indiana, about the year 181 5, and there her husband died in 1833. She had no children by her first marriage, but had four by the second, two sons who died young, and two daughters who were living with her at the time of the visits of her relatives. The elder daughter was named Kich-ke-ne-che quah, or Cut finger ; .perhaps in allusion to her mother's wounded finger. She was the wife of Captain Jean Baptiste Brouillette, SEVENTH GENERATION. 223 a tall well-appearing man of French-Indian parentage. The younger daughter, Osaw-se-quah (Yellow-ieaf), was a widow and had children, Kip-pe-no-quah (Corn Tassel), Wap-pa-no-se-ah (Blue Corn), and Kim-on-sah- qnah (Young Panther). " When arrangements were being made by the Government to settle the Indians of Indiana west of the Mississippi River, Joseph Slocum did not forget his sister. He petitioned Congress in her behalf and succeeded in enlisting powerful support. Hon. B. F. Bidlack took charge of the bill, John Quincy Adams made one of his strongest speeches in its support, and it became a law. The bill provided that one-mile-square of the Miami Indian Reservation, embracing the house and improvements of Frances Slocum, should be granted in fee to her and her heirs for- ever. After the departure of the Indians westward she sent for her brother Joseph to come and take charge of her affairs, but, it being impossible for him to go, a son of her brother Isaac [George R. Slocum, see family No. 243] responded to the call." A life-size portrait of Frances " The Indian Captive," was painted for her brother Joseph in 1839 Dv George Winter (?) of La Fayette, Ind., and it was copied and engraved for Lossing's Field-Book of the Revolution, and also for Peck's History of Wyoming. She died 9 March, 1847. Her elder daughter died, without children, on the 13th day of the same month, aged forty- seven years. The younger daughter died in January, 1877, aged sixty-two years. They were buried with Christian rites near the confluence of the Mississinewa (Missisnewa ?) and Wabash Rivers. Some descendants of Frances' younger daughter, who was known in later years as Jane Bondy, live at Reserve, Ind., by the names of Godfrey and Tawetaw. The history of this capture and perversion from civilization, which is of interest to the ethnologist as well as to the general reader, has been published a number of times, but most of the books containing it are now out of print.* 243 Major Isaac 7 Slocum {Jonathan, Joseph, Giles,"' Samuel, 1 Giles, 1 Anthony,' 1 ) was born in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania (?), 4 * See Miner's, Stone's, Chapman's, or Peck's, History of Wyoming ; also the Pennsylvania Archives ; Lossing's Pictorial Field-Book of the Revolution : and The Story of the Lost Sister, by Rev.

Y. For this service to the State he received a reward of $500. In his new home he soon gained the reputation of pos- sessing good judgment and business tact, and his counsel con- cerning desirable locations and neighborhood matters was gener- ally sought by prospective settlers and others. He early gave attention to the practice of law and in the year 1830 removed to the Village of Ashland where he acquired a good reputation in that profession. He did not neglect his farms meantime, and received a good income from them also.

His 2d Lieutenant Philip Grund reported his death by letter to the Fort Wayne Daily Sentinel, from which the following extracts are taken : SEVENTH GENERATION. 273 " No better, braver, truer, or more willing soldier than Corporal Slocum was, can be found in the ranks of any regiment. At the Battle of Fort Donelson he was" cool, brave and determined, and nobly did his whole duty all the time the regiment was under fire or in front of the enemy. So it was with him at the far more terrible Battle of Shiloh where he exhibited the same lofty traits all through the two days' desperate fighting on that never-to-be-forgotten field. He was an excellent example of what a true soldier ought to be, and his loss to his company is therefore great He was barefoot the last four days before being obliged to lie down on account of his sickness, and, our route being over hard stony roads, his feet were very sore and much swollen ; yet he never complained or faltered on the march. "... The editor of the Sentinel added that " Corporal Slocum was well known in Fort Wayne as a young man of moral integrity and great worth." He was buried in the National Cemetery at Chattanooga, Tenn. His name is recorded in the United States Roll of Honor. ' 3M- Charles? Slocum (Ebenezer? Edward? Ebenezer? Eliezer? Giles?

Samuel? Samuel? Samuel? Nathaniel? Giles? Anthony?) was born in New York City 10 June, 18 13, and received his early education in the War- ren and Union Hall Academies of that city. For two years from the spring of 1828 he was engaged as clerk with Messrs. Main- tain and Thorne at the corner of South and Beekman streets, and he then became a partner with his brother John W. in a retail grocery business at the corner of Division and Attorney streets, New York. That business becoming distasteful to him 3 TO THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA. he sold out his interest to his brother the first year and apprenticed himself to Andrew Turnbull to learn the business of carpenter and builder. At the age of seventeen years he assisted his brother John W. in the organization, under the New York Fire Department Act, of the Veto Hose Company, No. 4, of which his brother was chosen Foreman, and he, Secretary and Treas- urer. His appearance at this time was that of maturity far beyond his years and the city authorities issued to him a fireman's certi- ficate without a question as to his age. On the appearance of cholera in New York in the year 1832, he removed to Long Branch, N. J., the home of his ancestors, and he was there married, 17 July, 1834, to Mary Slocum who was born 16 August, 18 16, daughter of Peter and Abigail (New- man) Slocum ; see page 1 1 3. The next ten years of his life were passed in building, farming, and school teaching. In the autumn of 1841 he was nominated by the Monmouth County Democratic Convention as Memberof Assembly, or Rep- resentative to the New Jersey Legislature, without his knowledge or consent, which honor he respectfully declined notwithstanding the certainty of his election as the county was largely Demo- cratic. The same nomination was again tendered him a few years afterward and again declined. Although a Democrat of the Jeffersonian school he did not desire to become a politician, knowing that such course would necessarily take him into asso- ciations not congenial to his nature. But, while refusing higher offices, he exhibited a very commendable spirit by accepting various neighborhood and township offices, to which his neighbors repeatedly elected him from early manhood, until 1865 since which year he has declined to serve. In the year 1844 the New Jersey Legislature appointed him one of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas for Monmouth County. In the same year he was deputized as an officer of United States Customs and served three years in that capacity. By rendering timely assistance in discharging cargo to lighten the ship sometimes in the night, and in severe storms, some valuable stranded vessels, with their cargoes, have been saved from destruction along the New Jersey coast. In the year 1848 he formed a co-partnership with the late Captain James Green, and with him conducted the Bath Hotel in Long Branch Village EIGHTH GENERATION. 3II for nineteen summers. This house the first by the sea at Long Branch was wholly destroyed by fire in the spring of 1867. During his connection with this hotel he became acquainted in a business way with a number of men prominent in the State and Nation, and with several the acquaintance ripened into intimacy. In the year 1856 he was appointed a Master in Chancery for life by Chancellor Williamson of New Jersey. He took an active part in the organization of the Eatontown and Seashore Turnpike Company in 1865 ; was chosen one of the Directors, and for several years served as Treasurer ; and in 1876 he was elected President of the company, which position he still holds. He is also a member of the Board of Directors of the Shrewsbury Mutual Fire Insurance Co., of Eatontown, N. J. Throughout his life he has taken great interest in the welfare of laboring men. He was the prime mover for the introduction of the ten-hour system into Monmouth County, N. J., to supplant the old plan of requiring, during the summer months, work from sunrise till sunset as a day's labor. He has also given consider- able attention to schools ; and he aided in the organization of the graded system now in successful operation in his neighborhood. In the year 1868 he became a member of the firm of William Haynes & Co., which was soon succeeded by Drummond, Maps & Co., of Ocean Port, N. J., lumber-dealers and pro- prietors of a steam sawing and planing mill, in which connection he continued until 1876. Since this date he has lived retired from all business except conveyancing, and the settling of estates, which he has followed in connection with other business since 1844. Possessing the confidence of his community, he has as much of this business as he desires to occupy his mind. His counsel on legal questions has been frequently sought and freely given ; and though often tendered a fee for the same he has always declined receiving it nor has he ever accepted a fee or commission for aiding others to procure a loan of money. In all the positions of trust which he has been called upon to fill, he has never been asked to give bond or any security for the faithful performance of his duty; and he has never failed to render a full and true account. In business he has always been industrious, persevering, and economical, which virtues, with his 312 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA. judicious habits and management, have brought him the full score of happiness ; for "Reason's whole pleasure, all the joys of sense Lie in three words health, peace, and competence." In the spring of 1844 he removed from Long Branch Village where he had resided since his marriage to a small farm which he had purchased near Branchburgh, a few miles distant. In November, 1854, he completed, and removed to, his present residence which is pleasantly situated at Wolf Hill on the turnpike between the villages of Eatontown and Long Branch one-mile- and-a-half from each and near the Village of Ocean- Port, Mon- mouth County, New Jersey, which is his postoffice address. He is a member of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Eaton- town, and serves as its Treasurer and Warden. Children : i.

He was married in Providence Town- ship near the present City of Scranton, Pa., 1 August; 1819, to Matilda Griffin who was born 4 May, 1799.

Anthony?) was born 15 July, 1800, at the house of his maternal grandfather, Dr. Joseph Davis, in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., and was reared by his parents at Unionville, more commonly called Slocum Hollow, now within the City of Scranton, Lacka- wanna County, Pennsylvania. He early gave attention to the different trades and business interests which his father had developed at Slocum Hollow, and, being ingenious, he soon acquired a good degree of skill in the use of tools. As a blacksmith he repaired the tools and machinery, and shod many of the horses, required about his father's mills and works ; while as an amateur shoemaker he made many of the boots and shoes worn by the family, thus contributing greatly to the independence of the pioneer settle- ment. In April, 1828, he and his brother Samuel took charge of their father's business, which then included blacksmithing, lumbering, farming, coal-mining, etc. He married, 22 December, 1830, Edilda Bingham, daughter of Rodolphus and Sarah (Kimball) Bingham of Palmyra, Pike Co., Pa., where she was born 24 December, 1805. After marriage they continued to live separate, with their respective parents, 46 354 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA. for two years and then commenced house-keeping at Slocum Hollow. He was there chosen Township Collector in the year 1833, and upon the incorporation of the Borough of Scranton, in 1856, he was elected its first Burgess ; and he has since served as City Auditor. In politics he was a Whig until that party was merged into the Republican party, since which time he has been a Republican and stanch in support of the National Government. By inheritance and purchase he became possessed of over six hundred acres of land, all within the present limits of the City of Scranton and including much of the central part of that city. This land, being underlaid with coal and also being desirable for building lots, has yielded him a considerable fortune. Mr. Slocum inherited a strong constitution which has enabled him throughout his long life to accomplish a great amount of work. His powers of endurance have been remarkably great as the following anecdote from his own pen, and well authen- ticated, will attest. He had taken some cattle to Philadelphia in July, 1821, and there he met a neighboring farmer who proffered him a ride home in his light wagon whereupon Mr. Slocum ventured the assertion that he could travel the distance, on foot, in less time than could the horse. A wager was arranged and the parties started on the journey in an earnest effort. The result proved his assertion true, for he reached Wilkes-Barre fully two hours ahead of the horse. The distance traveled was 120 miles and the time he occupied on the road not including the short restings was twenty hours and four minutes. He still enjoys a good degree of vigor. Now, in the eighty-first year of his age, his letters are clearly written and the writer of this sketch acknowledges indebtedness to him for the records of several families, and many facts of interest concerning the Slocums of Pennsylvania, past and present. He has always been free from the use of spirituous liquors, tobacco, and all games of chance ; and he has been particular and correct in his habits of life, excepting overwork. " The history of any locality could be written and many family names left out without doing them or the reader any great injus- tice. There are others, however, who have left so indelibly the impress of their lives upon the communities of which they formed a part that no history would be complete that did not make EIGHTH GENERATION. 355 mention of them.

Anthony?) was born 22 October, 1797, one-half mile east of the present Village of Northville in Northampton Township, Fulton County, New York,* and was there reared as a pioneer farmer. He was married 26 November, 18 18, to Elizabeth Bass, who was born on a neighboring farm 25 Novem- ber, 1798, the second daughter and fifth child of Jeremiah and Elizabeth (Bentley) Bass.f After marriage the subject of this sketch settled at Northville as a carder and clothier, at first in a primitive woolen-mill, and there successfully conducted that business for a period of twenty- five years. The advantages of Illinois being much discussed throughout the East in the spring of 1837, he decided upon a visit to that distant State which could then be reached only by a very tedious journey. With his customary prudence he decided not to give up his old home until satisfied by personal observation that there would be great advantage in the change, and, leaving * Northampton Township. N. Y., was taken 1 February, 1799, from Broadalbin Township which was organized from the wilderness of Caughnawaga (an Indian name signifying cook the kettle) 12 March, 1793. Fulton County was organized 18 April, 1838, from Montgomery County which was taken from Albany County 12 March, 1792. f Something of the genealogy of Jeremiah Bass, and a short account of his descendants, may be found in the publication entitled " The Whitney Family of Connecticut," by S. Whitney Phoenix ; 3 thick 410 vols., New York, 1878 ; vol. i, p. 666, and vol. ii, p. 1455. 48 370 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA. his family behind, he commenced the journey in May, 1837, in company with his brother Joseph and their sister Elizabeth and her family. They traveled by packet on the Erie Canal to Buffalo, thence by schooner through the lakes, and Straits of Mackinaw or Michilimackinac, to Chicago (then a small village), and thence by wagon across the prairies to Peoria County, 111., where he, with the others, purchased desirable land near French Grove at a cost of about two dollars per acre. After a few weeks visit he returned home, and, shrinking from the thought of removing his family of nine children on such a long and tedious journey, he soon thereafter sold his Illinois land for a small sum above its cost. In the year 1844 he purchased and removed to a large farm one mile southwest of Northville on the west bank of the Sacondaga River and including an arable island of one hundred acres or more. He soon added to this farm other lands and fully stocked them with horses, cattle, and sheep. A general store was also opened in a building erected for that purpose. In the spring of 1858 the residence farm was exchanged for one-half interest in the gang saw-mill by the river-dam at Parkville, one half mile from Northville. The following year the saw-mill was sold to Sheldon Hubbell, his partner therein, and he soon thereafter purchased, in the adjoining Township of Bleecker, a sole-leather tannery in which Joseph C. Zeyst was foreman and a nominal partner. Wishing to retire from active business on account of failing health, he gave this property to his sons Elias and Wright in the year 1863. In April, 1864, while driving to Bleecker he suffered an attack of cerebral apoplexy which produced paralysis of his left side. He gradually recovered from this attack but died suddenly of a second attack at his residence in Parkville 14 July, 1864; " A voice at midnight came ; He started up to hear ; A mortal arrow pierced his frame ; He fell, but felt no fear." His widow died 26 July, 1866, at the residence of their son Wright near Northville, and was buried with her busband in the Ridge Road Cemetery one mile southeast of Northville. She was a worthy helpmate. They reared their large family of chil- EIGHTH GENERATION. 371 dren to adult age before death entered the household, and their uniform good health gave very little need for the physician's advice. Mr. Slocum was a large muscular man six feet in height with a weight of about two hundred pounds with active habits, but of few words. He was a man of good judgment and possessed a good degree of enterprise and business tact, but was never inclined to drive a sharp bargain to the injury of any one. The maxim which he adopted at the outset of his career that honest persevering industry and economy form a sure avenue to success when complemented by good judgment was closely adhered to throughout his life. His word of promise was always a sure bond to all who received it. Toward the poor he was liberal, possibly to a fault. From early manhood he was a prom- inent member of the Northville Baptist Church and he remem- bered that society in his will with a bequest. He was for many years a magistrate in his township (Northampton), and through- out his busy and successful life his integrity of character was a great power for good in his community, and its influence is still a rich legacy to all who knew his worth. Politically he was a Democrat of the Jeffersonian school. He supported Stephen A. Douglas for the Presidency in i860, and at the outbreak of the Southern Rebellion in 1861 he was firm and outspoken in his support of the war for its suppression ; but he did not live to rejoice at the final triumph of the Union arms and the consum- mation of the Emancipation Proclamation. Four of his sons entered the Union army, and most of his sons have since been stanch Republicans.

Y., as a school-teacher and also as a student of medicine with Dr. Ackley with whom he after- wards commenced the practice of medicine. He was graduated M. D. 3 February, 1829, by the College of Physicians and Sur- geons of Fairfield, N. Y. ; was married in Canton Township, Wayne County, Michigan, 31 August, 1830, to Mary Ann Hol- brook who was born in Riga, Monroe County, N. Y., 7 August, 1809, daughter of Benaiah and Judith (Badger) Holbrook. They removed to Ashland, Ohio, where he practiced his profession twelve years excepting parts of two winters which were passed in the Cleveland Medical College mostly in partnership with Dr. Denning. About the year 1 842 he exchanged a farm (which he had owned for some time) near the Village of Ashland for a large farm in Smithfield Township, Eaton County, Michigan, and, thinking to improve his failing health, he removed thither taking with him a considerable amount of stock from the Ohio farm. He there experienced the life of a pioneer farmer for nine months and then removed to Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he prac- ticed his profession until his death which occurred 17 January, 1847.

He studied theology and was ordained a minister in the Presbyterian church. During his pastoral labors he wrote, and published in the year 1836, the book entitled " Disclosures by Maria Monk," which passed through several editions in America and England and was very extensively read.* In the preparation and publi- cation of this small i6mo book which was for a time very damaging to the Roman Catholic church Mr. Slocum was strongly endorsed and encouraged by the ablest ministers of the Protestant churches in New York and Brooklyn. The " Con- firmation of Maria Monk's Disclosures " was published in 1 85 1 (?). He married , a lady of English birth, and died 12 May, i860, leaving no children. The following obituary notice of him appeared in a Kalamazoo (Michigan) newspaper : " The Rev. J. J. Slocum of this place, recently of New York, died at the residence of Hon. D. C. Leach, in Lansing, on Thursday last, of some acute affection of the brain, the precise nature of which we have not learned. His illness was of brief duration, none of the inci- dents of which have yet reached us. "In the death of Mr. Slocum we have lost one of our most esteemed and valued citizens one whose place, we fear, can not be filled. We have lost one whose life was an incessant toil for the good of his fellow- men, and for the moral education and elevation of his race. Endowed with a powerful and well trained mental organization possessed of an indomitable energy and an iron will, he was well calculated to con- ceive and carry out those noble enterprises which characterized his life. "Our acquaintance with Mr. S. commenced some five years ago, at which time he was engaged in Chicago in organizing and developing the ' Lind Seminary ' located at Lake Forest, the most beautiful of the suburbs of that city, and which is now one of the most successful institutions in the West. From Chicago he came to Kalamazoo and * " It is stated by Father Newman in his 'Lectures on Catholicism,' that since the first appearence of ' Maria Monk's Disclosures ' in 1836, from 200,000 to 250,000 copies have been put in circulation in Great Britain and America." London Literary Gazette, 185 1, page 723. 384 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA. planned the Female Seminary now in process of completion here, and for the interests of which he was laboring at the time of his death. "Subsequent to the organization of the Seminary here, and the commencement of its construction, from causes which are unnecessary to explain, his connection with it ceased and he went to New York, where he projected and developed the New York World as a daily religious newspaper. Had that paper been continued upon the basis on which it was originally started had those who controlled its des- tinies been faithful to the great truths and fundamental principles which they recognized in its origin, and which they promised should charac- terize its career, the World, instead of being the organ of a political organization as it is, would have stood to-day without a peer as a journal of commanding influence, whose pages would have carried life and light immortal throughout this vast Nation. But shortly after its commencement Mr. Slocum was prostrated by sunstroke by which he was confined to his room for several months, and which, we are in- clined to think, was the predisposing cause of his last sickness. While thus confined the affairs of the World fell into confusion and the change was made which struck down the bright hopes of its future usefulness. A few weeks since Mr. S. returned to Kalamazoo at the urgent solicitation of the Trustees of the Michigan Female Seminary located here, and resumed his former position in connection with the Institution, in behalf of which he was laboring at the time of his death. " A good man has fallen and this community laments his loss with feelings of most profound regret." Such was also the language of the New York World, and other papers where he was well known. 495 William Sisson 8 Slocum (John? Eleazer, b John? Eliezer*- Eliezer? Giles, 1 - Anthony,' 1 ) was born in Pittstown Township, Rensselaer County, New York, 15 September, 1806. He went to New York City in 1826 and there married, 7 May, 1830, Rosabella Cooper Berrien who was born on City Island near New York. He commenced business in that city as a carpenter, then became a dealer in lumber, and, after a few years, a proprietor of omnibuses ; later, he became Secretary of the St. Nicholas Fire Insurance Company. About the year 1870 they removed to Brooklyn, N. Y., where he died in 1881, and where she now lives. Their golden wedding was appropriately celebrated by their friends in 1880. Children. i.

In the year 1850 he went to California {via Panama) where he remained four years as boat-builder. During his absence Mrs. Carter was so successful in her management of the farm as to pay all expenses, including the education of her daughters, and accumulate the sum of $2,500.

Anthony, 1 } was born 8 April, 1820, near the Village of Ashland, Ashland County, then part of Richland County, Ohio. His mother died in January, 1828, and he there- after lived with his sister, Mrs. Mary Palmer, and with Dr. Wil- lard Slocum (see page 381) in Ashland Village until the spring of 1838 when he entered Kenyon College at Gambier, Ohio. Returning home after two years study he took an active part in the presidential campaign of 1840 in the interest of the nominees of the Whig party, Gen. William H. Harrison and John Tyler. About this time he taught the public school in his district. In the spring of 1841 he entered the office of the late Judge Charles T. Sherman as a student of law, and was admitted to the bar in Richland County, Ohio, in the year 1844 with a class of seventeen young men including Samuel J. Kirkwood,the late U. S, Senator from Iowa and now (1881) Secretary of the Interior, and John Sherman, Secretary of the Treasury during the Administration of President Rutherford B. Hayes, and now U. S. Senator from Ohio. The same year of his admission to the bar he entered into partnership with Charles T. and John Sherman for the practice of law at Ashland, which partnership was dissolved by mutual consent, and with the most kindly feel- ings by all concerned, in the autumn of 1847. He was married in East Union, Wayne County, Ohio, 16 November, 1847, to Caroline Augusta Carr, daughter of Rodney and Mary (Swan) Carr of East Union where she was born 12 September, 1829. Soon after marriage he entered into partner- ship with the late Judge Osborn at Ashland. This alliance was dissolved in 1855, and his third and last partnership was formed in 1856 with Judge James Stewart who had been pre- siding in the Ashland district and whose term of service had then expired. Mr. Slocum was chosen delegate to the Republican National Convention held in Chicago in June, i860. The Ohio Delega- tion was instructed to support Hon. Salmon P. Chase for the Presidency, but after the third ballot so cast he was the first of that delegation to vote for the nomination of Abraham Lincoln. EIGHTH GENERATION. 389 He was chosen member of the Electoral College that year from the Fourteenth Congressional District of Ohio, and he cast the vote of that district for the President-elect, Abraham Lincoln. At the outbreak of the Southern Rebellion, and the first call for soldiers for its suppression, he was active in his support of the Government and converted his law-office into a recruiting-office. He enlisted the company of soldiers who were mustered into service 11 June, 1861, as the first Ohio company for three years service, and he was commissioned their captain, but, having im- portant private business, did not assume the command. Soon thereafter he accepted an appointment in the Department of the Interior at Washington but resigned the same 24 November, 1861, preferring a more active position in the support of the Union. He was appointed Provost-Marshal, by Gov. William Dennison of Ohio, and assigned to duty at Columbus. In April, 1862, he was called home on account of the death of his father and was there detained sometime by business pertaining to the estate. Upon his return to Columbus he was detailed as Adjutant to aid Col. Charles T. Sherman in the organization of enlisted men at Camp Buckingham near Mansfield, Ohio. The i02d and 120th Regi- ments of Ohio Infantry were there organized. He moved for- ward with the 120th Regiment in October, 1862, as Adjutant, and joined the Thirteenth Army Corps at Memphis, Tenn. This regiment participated in the Assaults on Vicksburgh from the Yazoo River, and also at Arkansas Post. For meritorious con- duct at the last named place he was commissioned Major the 18th of March, 1863. His regiment returned to the vicinity of Vicks- burgh and was for a time employed in digging the canal projected as a new channel for the Mississippi River. He participated in all the engagements in the rear of Vicksburgh, Raymond, Thompson's Hill, Jackson, Champion Hill, and Big-Black, and lead the right of his regiment in the charges on that stronghold the 1 8th and 22d of May, 1863. On the 7th of June he received an order of detail from Corps Headquarters assigning him to the duty of Inspector General of the Thirteenth Army Corps which position he held until after the surrender of Vicksburgh, 4 July, 1863. About this time he was chief in command of three divis- ions of troops during a temporary absence of the officers and the advance on Jackson. 390 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA. He was commissioned Lieutenant-Colonel 8 September, 1863, and was afterwards placed on detached duty, and, reaching New Orleans, acted as Judge Advocate at Department Headquarters. He was soon afterward sent to Brownsville, Texas, to organize a court-martial. That duty performed, he was ordered to report at Columbus, Ohio, for recruiting service, and arrived at that place in December, 1863. He soon returned to the field with enlisted men to reorganize the regiment. The 1st of May, 1864, they were ordered to join General Banks' command, then on the Red River Expedition, and they embarked on the transport City Belle with six hundred and eighty men. Col. M. M. Spiegle was chief in command and overruled the doubts expressed by the other officers as to.the wisdom of advancing in that way. When round- ing Snaggy Point, Red River, they were fired into by masked batteries which broke the steam-pipe and disabled the boat, while General Major's brigade of infantry, emering from cover, poured deadly volleys from the bank of the, there, narrow stream. Colonel Spiegle and other officers were killed and the transport's troops would probably have been wholly annihilated or captured but for the drifting of the boat rapidly down stream and its touching shore thus allowing Colonel Slocum and about one hun- dred and fifty men to escape into the woods.

After several skirmishes his company participated in the Battle of Winchester where he was wounded, 23 March, 1862, by a rifle-ball which passed through his right thigh, five inches below the hip-joint, shattering the bone in its course. The surgeons on the field advised, and finally insisted upon, an amputation at the hip-joint, but he sternly opposed LIEUTrCOL.PAULE.SLOCUM. EIGHTH GENERATION. 403 such an operation. After a few days he was seen by Dr. Smith of Philadelphia who secured his removal to St. Joseph Hospital in that city, where, by careful surgical treatment, his life was preserved, and, also, a serviceable limb.

He participated in the Battle of Stone River, 2 January, 1863, and soon thereafter was commissioned Lieutenant-Colonel ; he was also in the Battles of Chickamauga, Chattanooga, Lookout Mountain, and others. The 25th of February, 1864, while in entire command of his regiment the colonel being absent and the major a prisoner with the Confederates and leading his men in the battle near Tunnel Hill, Ga., he was mortally wounded by a rifle-ball which entered his chest near the left nipple, passed through the lung and lodged in the spine partially paralyzing him. He was re- moved that night by ambulance to Chattanooga, a distance of eighteen miles, and there died 3 March, 1864. His wife was telegraphed for after he was wounded but did not reach him, on account of railway accidents, until after his death. She trans- ported his remains to Bloomington, Indiana, where he was buried with masonic honors the whole community uniting to show their sorrow and respect. He was a man of good and commanding presence, was over six feet in height with a weight of 209 pounds when he entered the service of his Country, and he was possessed of a generous and noble nature.

Ebenezer? Eliezer? Giles? Anthony, 1 ) was born 5 April, 1831, in Tolland Township, Hampden County, Massachusetts, and mar- ried Henrietta Beach who was there born 18 November, 1829. He was a reporter in the United States Congress four years from 1853, then entered the Normal School in Westfield, Mass., and, after two years study, was employed as teacher in that insti- tution principally in the Department of Natural Science which position he occupied until his death which occurred 10 October, 1861. In the spring of 1861 he was employed as lect- urer in the Teachers' Institutes. A co-laborer, in a long obitu- ary published in The Massachusetts Teacher for August, 1862, wrote of him as follows : Mr. Slocum possessed those qualities which pre-eminently fitted him for the work he had chosen. He was patient in acquiring and communicating truth. He investigated the most familiar subjects with so much zeal and patience that he was able to present the principles of the sciences he taught in all the freshness of newly-discovered truths. He was noted for his originality, and his great inventive power, as well as his equal facility in communicating what he had conceived. . . " He had begun the preparation of a work on Physical Geography, and another on Natural History Had the ardor of his enthusi- asm been less intense he might have been longer with us but less suc- cessful in accomplishing the object of his life. As we review his few but active years as a teacher we realize the force of the truth that earnest thought and noble action are a far better measure of life than years. ... A gentleman, now a member of the bar, who had known Mr. Slocum from childhood, says that he never knew him to lose his good temper His analytical method of investigating truth, and the candor which it induced .... annihilated all doubts of the reality of the religion of Christ .... and those minds and there are many such that have been warmed into a higher life by the ardor of his spirit, will never cease to feel the force of his example " His influence still lives. The results of his intellectual labor for his classes are yet with us, and in our cabinets are the trophies of his toil." His widow resides in Springfield, Massachusetts. Children : i. Charles Mills, born 19 July, 1854, in Tolland, Mass. He has been in the employ of the City of Springfield, Mass., for the last seven years as assistant civil-engineer. Unmarried. ii.

He received his early education in the public schools of his neighborhood, and passed three winters as teacher of public schools in Saratoga County and one winter in teaching near Lockport, N. Y. He spent the summer of 1830 on a farm near the Au Sable River in northeastern New York. In the year 1831 he went to Ohio and there assisted in sur- veying the Village of Vistula, the name of which was soon there- after changed to the present name of Toledo ; and he conducted the first store there, and also engaged in preparing the timber for the first wharf at that place. At the death of his father in 1832 he returned to Saratoga and purchased the interest of the Elf'lfEE.Ea.U trSznslj Barclay StSY. NINTH GENERATION. 457 other heirs in the homestead. The following year he went to Michigan and spent the winter of i833~'34 in the stave business at the head of Swan Creek Bay, now Newport, where he also opened a general store and soon succeeded in making it a steam- boat landing. Among other pioneer experiences he paddled a canoe from Jackson, Michigan, down the Grand River to Grand Rapids in the spring of 1834. The following summer he estab- lished the first store and wharf at Truxton, now Trenton, a few miles below Detroit, and continued the mercantile business there with little intermission for many years. He married, in 1838, Sophia Maria Brigham Truax, daughter of Major Abraham C. and Lucy (Brigham) Truax of Trenton, of which village Major Truax was the founder. After marriage the subject of this sketch (having sold the homestead in Saratoga, N. Y.,) extended his purchases of Michigan lands and devoted most of his time to their improvement and to sheep- raising becoming and continuing the most extensive wool- grower in Michigan between the years 1840 and 1855. He at one time owned the land for a distance of three miles along the west bank of the Detroit River, with the island in that river known as Slocum's Island. During the last forty years he has directed the clearing and bringing under cultivation of over fifteen hundred acres of heavily timbered land in Michigan. He was also engaged from 1843 until 185 1 in driving piles and building wharves at Detroit, Windsor, Springwells, Trenton, Sandwich, Gibralter, and Grosse Isle. About the year 1848 he contracted with the officials of Wayne County, Michigan, to build two bridges across Rouge River and receive wild lands in payment therefor. He made choice of and received for this work lands in the eastern part of Muskegon County, Michigan, and he afterward added to his domain by pur- chases from individuals, the State, and the United States Govern- ment. In 1859 he and Mr. Charles Mears of Chicago, Illinois, platted the present Village of Whitehall in Muskegon County, Mich., and he now holds the proprietary right of one-half of the land within the limits of that thriving village, and also of large tracts in its vicinity. All of this property has become valuable through the extension of railroads and the rapid development of its agricultural resources. He has erected mills at Slocum's Grove, 59 45 8 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA. Muskegon Co., Mich., a hamlet and postoffice, about twenty- four miles north by west of Grand Rapids, named in his honor, where he conducts a large business in lumbering and farming. Slocum Junction on the Canada Southern Railway near Tren- ton, Wayne Co., Mich., was also laid out on his land and was named in compliment to him. Mr. Slocum's life has been not only one of great success but it has been a career based on correct business principles and as such it is worthy of study and imitation. With all of his energy and enterprise, and in his extensive operations, he has always done business exclusively on his own capital, has never mort- gaged his property or given his note for borrowed money, and thus has been enabled to stand erect through all of the commer- cial inflations, revolutions, and contractions of his time. He still lives in Wayne County ; postoffice Trenton, Mich.* Children : 642. i. Elliott Truax, b. 15 May, 1839; m. Charlotte G. Wood, ii. Alice Truax, born n January, 1842.

In 1848 he was a delegate from the Twenty-first Con- gressional District of Pennsylvania to the Buffalo National Convention where Martin Van Buren was nominated for President and Charles Francis Adams for Vice-President of the United States ; and he was the Free-Soil candidate for Presidential- Elector in his congressional district during that campaign. Brownsville was a " station of the Underground Railroad " between Virginia and Canada, and his sympathy and influence were fully enlisted in favor of the negroes desiring to escape from bondage. In a letter to the writer of this sketch, under date of 8 Nov., 1880, he expressed himself in substance as follows : " I feel great satisfaction at my opposition to human slavery. I have from early manhood continued firm in my belief that freedom should be national and apply to all classes alike." Children, all by first wife : 643. i. Jane Elizabeth, born 3 Sept., 1834; m.

He was educated in the schools of his neighborhood and in Kingsborough Academy, and taught school several terms in his native county and in Peoria County, Illinois, to which place he removed in the year 1856. In 1858 he removed to Henry County, Missouri, where he continued teaching in public and private school, passing his vacations meantime in the improve- ment of land which he had there purchased. He married in November, 1859, Margaret Maccabee from whom he was divorced in 1863. At the outbreak of the Southern Rebellion he was forced to leave his home on account of his known Union sentiments, and he joined, as a private soldier at Kansas City, the first Union company that he found. When the Union forces entered Henry County, Mo., in April, 1862, there was organized at his former home a company of soldiers composed in part of his former pupils, and he was chosen their captain. This company was mustered into the United States service as Co. H of the 7th Regiment Cavalry, Missouri State Militia, and it did good service for the Union cause in western Missouri and in Arkansas. They frequently made brave stands against superior numbers, as at Lone Jack, 16 June, 1862, where Company H lost eight killed, thirteen wounded, and five missing. In this engagement Capt. Slocum received a scalp wound from a rifle-ball. He resigned his commission 7 June, 1863, and, returning to his native village, succeeded his father in the business of sole- leather tanning in Bleecker, N. Y. He was married second, in Benson, N. Y., 10 November, 1864, by Rev. Eli W. Brownell, Baptist, to Jennie Ann Currier, daughter of Daniel Ward and Jane Ann (Carpenter) Currier of Benson where she was born.

The exposures and hardships to which he was subjected in the Peninsular Cam- paign led to an attack of inflammatory rheumatism, in the autumn of 1862, which assumed a chronic type and he was honorably discharged early in 1863 very much deformed by the disease. The following spring he went to California, via Panama, and the following year made a voyage to the Sandwich Islands. In those favoring climates he gradually regained the use of his limbs.

Steamship Keokuk and was with her 7 April, 1863, in the Action with Fort Sumter where she was disabled and sunk.* * " During this year (1863), the events of the greatest moment along the seaboard occurred at Charleston. Such was the confidence then felt in the ability of iron- clads to resist the heaviest cannonade that Rear-Admiral Samuel F. Dupont at- tempted, April 7th, to run past the batteries and enter the harbor of that city. The little fleet, mounting only thirty-two guns, accordingly moved up the channel ; but the vessels were stopped by obstructions and held under the concentrated fire of three hundred cannon.

THE SLOCUMBS OF AMERICA. 644 Joseph Slocumb was a merchant at Atlanta, Georgia (?), in the eighteenth century. No date definitely relating to his history has been ascertained, nor the place of his birth, marriage, or death.* His children, so far as determined, were : 645. i. John Charles, mar. 1st, Lavinia Axley(?); 2d, Mary Beck. 646. ii. Ezekiel, b. in 1750 (?); m. Mary Hooks; d. 4 July, 1840 (?). 645 Rev. John Charles Slocumb (Joseph^ married first, Lavinia Axley (?), and second, Mary Beck ; was married by Rev. Daniel McHenry, Methodist Episcopalian. His occupation as reported by different descendants was that of shoemaker, farmer, and minister in the Methodist Episcopal church. He was a soldier in the Revolutionary War ; dwelt in Georgia until after the year 1783 (?), then removed to Kentucky, and thence some years later to Concord, White County, Illinois, where he died and was hur- ried in Slocum Cemetery with his second wife. Children, per- haps not born in the order here given ; the first child was by his first wife but it is not known definitely as to the others : 647. i. Samuel, b. 23 Nov., 1783 j m. Mary A. Beck ; d. about 1856. 648. ii. Charles, born 11 Nov., 1791 ; mar. 1st, Rebecca Browning. 649. iii. Stephen, b. 23 April 1797 ; m. 2d, Susan A. Beck; d. 1875. iv. Elizabeath, m. Ransom Hall. v. Fanny, m. Reason Hall. * One report received by the writer reads that this Joseph Slocumb and his son John Charles were born in -England ; but the writer has received so many similar reports concerning individuals of families which had a history of several generations in America, that he does not give credence to such statements unless they can be authenticated by record, or seem very probable from strong circumstantial evidence. Many persons removed from New England to New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Mary- land, the Carolinas, etc., during the eighteenth century and it might readily be surmised that this " Joseph Slocumb " was identical with the " Joseph Slocum " who was admitted freeman of Newport, R. I. , in the year 1727 and whose history there ceases with that date so far as the writer has been able to determine. See ante page 54. AND THEIR ALLIANCES. 487 646 Col. Ezekiel Slocumb* (Joseph,) was born in Craven County, North Carolina (?), about the year 1750. He married Mary Hooks of Bertie County, a sister of the Hon. Charles Hooks who was a member of the U. S. Congress from the year 18 16 until 1825. They settled on a plantation which may now be seen by the traveler over the Wilmington Railway one-mile-and-a-half south of Dudley Station, N. C. He entered the Revolutionary Army at an early date and served throughout the war. He was a Lieutenant in the Battle of Moore's Creek, N. C, 27 Feb., 1776. " An anecdote is told of the wife of Lieutenant Slocumb, who was as heroic as himself. After her husband departed she saw him in a dream lying dead on the ground. Awaking in great distress, she arose, sad- dled a horse, and rode at full gallop through the swamp in the direction taken by the troops. At nine in the morning she neared the battle- field. One of the first objects she saw was the Lieutenant's cloak wrapped around a body stretched upon the ground. With sinking heart she dismounted and found not her husband, but one of his wounded men. She washed his face, bound up his wounds, and was performing the like office to a second sufferer when her astonished hus- band came up. She remained all day caring for the wounded loyal- ists as well as the others with true Samaritan kindness. At midnight she started for her home where a mother's duties were required. In less than forty hours this remarkable woman rode one hundred and twenty-five miles, spending the time when out of the saddle, not in taking rest but in dressing wounds."! Lieutenant Slocumb rose to the rank of Colonel before the close of the Revolutionary War, and afterward " Colonel Slocumb held every office of honor and trust in the gift of the people ; and all were honorably and ably filled." % He was a member of the North Carolina House of Commons from the year 1812 until 1818. " Colonel Slocumb lived a married life sixty-five years in a state of connubial happiness as great as ever fell to the lot of any man."| He and his wife died near Dudley, N. C, she, 6 March, * This man's surname has been written, and printed, as Slocomb, Slocum, and Slocumb. His descendants adhere to the form last given. f See Wheeler's History of North Carolina ; Johnson's Traditions and Reminis- cences ; The Women of the Revolution, by Mrs. Elizabeth F. Ellet ; and Barnes' One Hundred Years of American Independence, for this and other anecdotes show- ing the bravery and patriotism of Lieutenant Slocumb and his wife. \ Correspondence of the Charleston Courier September 3, 1842.

John Tillett, and uniting with the Methodist Episcopal church, South, at Goldsborough, he soon became one of its most promi- nent members, and served as delegate to the District, Annual, and General Conference. The Transcript and Messenger, and The Methodist Advance, of Goldsborough, each printed a long obituary and biographical sketch showing his worth as a citizen, and his consistency and power as a professed christian attribu- ting to his influence the high type of christian character and fellowship which has existed in the Goldsborough church. The Quarterly Conference of this church prefaced a series of resolu- tions, eulogistic of his life and services, as follows : " A prince in Israel has fallen. We mourn the death of a brother, honored and beloved, whose devotion to God and His Church, whose strong and unswerving faith in His Word and Providence, whose spot- less character and peaceful death, attest the sanctifying and saving form of the Gospel and bequeath to the church, of which he was for more than forty years a bright and shining light, a legacy which we gratefully cherish, and an example worthy of our imitation." 496 THE SLOCUMBS OF AMERICA The children of John Charles and Rachel Rebecca (Wright) Slocumb, were : i.

THE SLOCOMBS OF AMERICA. 666 The names of Simon and Abigail Slocombe (the surname spelled in different places as Slocomb, Slocom, Slocum, anc 1 Slocumb,) have recently been found in the early records of Wrentham Township, Norfolk County, Massachusetts. No mention has been found of the relationship which existed between them ; and whether they were descendants of Edward Slocombe, page 35, or of Samuel Slocum, page 54, or were of a separate immigration, has not been determined. Considerable time has been spent by the writer endeavoring to ascertain the names of their parents, but without success. The following gleanings represent their history so far as determined : 667. Simon Slocombe, mar. 1st, , and 2d, Abigail . 668. Abigail Slocombe, married Baruch Pond 4 December, 1728. 667 Simon Slocombe, tradition says, removed from Boston to that part of Wrentham Township, Massachusetts, from which the present Township of Franklin, Norfolk County, was organized. His name first appears in the general records of Wrentham (as " Simon Slocum") appended with forty-seven other names to "a petition to the great and General Court in June, A. D. 1736," for a separate church in Wrentham. This petition was success- ful, for a church was organized 16 February, 1738, with twenty- four members, including the subject of this sketch. We further read that " The deed of an acre of land from Thomas Man for a meeting house lot was accepted nth September, 1739, and put for safe-keeping into the care of Simon Slocum." It is also recorded* that " Simon Slocum was a prominent member of the See Blake's History of 'Franklin Township, Massachusetts.

He was generally known as " Billy ;" was a soldier in the Revolutionary Army, and served in Providence and Warwick, R. I., in 1776.* For this service he afterward received a pension. He commenced life poor but by industry and economy he accumulated propertv amounting to about $11,000, Continental paper-money, which he invested in "fashionable silk pocket-handkerchiefs" as a specula- tion. This adventure proved unfortunate, as he could dispose of his purchase for only $47.25 which then included all of his pecu- niary estate. With a feeble wife and several small children depending on him for their support he began work anew and suc- ceeded in securing a competence for his old age.

He was an industrious and thrifty farmer ; was possessed of great powers of endurance, a social disposition, keen powers of observation, a remarkable good mem- ory, and a kind and generous nature.

The writer has not been able to connect them with the preceding families, in most cases probably for want of more complete reports. Some are doubtless descendants of Simon Slocombe (page 500), and others perhaps of the Slocumbs (pp. 486 et seq.), while a few of the names are probably the result of errors in the directories where names like Slaum, Sloman, Sluman, Stocom, Stockham, Stockholm, Stockman, Stoughton, etc., may have been recorded as Slocum.* It is also probable that some of the names in this list are identical with names recorded on the preceding pages. All persons named herein who may be able to connect their pedigree with the preceding families or trace the same to other sources, and everyone who can add in any way to the record of any family or person named herein, are respectfully requested to communicate such knowledge as fully as possible to the writer who will probably publish a supplement to this book in a few years. 743 Reuben Slocum, in his early manhood, resided in the south- eastern part of New York State (Duchess County ?).f He mar- * For the years 1879 anc ^ 1880 the name of John F.

Y. , "Dr. C. W. Stocum" of Morenci, Lenawee Co., Mich., and from "Daniel R. Stocum" proprietor of a general store at Cedar Springs, Kent Co., Mich., the etymology of their surname, and their genealogy, but without success. One "Theodore D. Stocum," aged thirty years, enlisted in New York 14 August, 1861, against the Rebellion as a private soldier in Co. I, 1st Regt. Mounted Rifles; and "John Stocum" was commissioned Captain of Co. E, 1st New York Artillery, at Elmira, N. Y., 21 October, 1 861, for service against the Rebellion ; he was then aged thirty-eight years. f Perhaps he was a son of Samuel 6 Slocum and removed with his brothers Samuel and Jesse from Shrewsbury, N.

One generation comes, Another goes and mingles with the dust. And thus we come and go, and come and go Each for a little moment filling up Some little space. And thus we disappear In quick succession. And it shall be so Till time in one vast perpetuity Be swallowed up. Anonymous. So live, that when thy summons comes to join The innumerable caravan, which moves To that mysterious realm, where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death, Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night, Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave, Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.
