I have more but just haven't gotten them into my data base yet. Jean LDS online site submitter: Tom Keyes, 421 Pine Street, Sheboygan Falls, WI 53085 Submission file: AF96112131 With some exceptions, information regarding the first 6 generations are derived primarily from Charles Elihu Slocum's two books about the Slocum, Slocumb and Slocomb families in America: i.e., the first book, "A Short History of the Slocums, Slocumbs, Slocombs of America", Vol. 1 was published in 1882; the second book, "History of the Slocums, Slocumbs, Slocombs of America", Vol. II, published in 1908. Any and all other information comes from Bob and Loyce Smyth's book, "The Slocums, Slocumbs of the South", published in 1997. Additional Sources: My Ancestor page: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/8754/ Harvey Info: http://www.ccia.com/~rharvey Richard J. Harvey 423 Falls Ave. New Castle, PA 16105 EMail rharvey@ccia.com Richard J. Harvey cites "The Harvey Book"(two vol.) by Oscar Jewell Harvey, 1899, Wilkesbarre, PA The following paragraphs come from: "Slocum Family History" Thirteen Generations in America 1630-1997 by Roger Slocum http://www.evansville.net/~rslocum/HISTORY.htm/index.html The name Slocum comes from an area in southwestern England called Combe, now in Somerset. Combe was covered by a luxurious growth of sloe (wild plum) trees. So Slocum means from the place of the sloes. There is a Coat of Arms registered for "Slocombe of Somersetshire" sometime before 1573. Although Anthony was said to be "of nobility" it is unknown who registered this Coat of Arms. The first known Slocum in America is Anthony Slocum. He landed in Boston between 1630 and 1637 with his wife and sons. In America he was recorded in Taunton, New Plymouth which is now in Massachusetts from 1637 to 1662. He then moved to the wilderness of what is now Dartmouth by the Pascomanset River. He then made his way to North Carolina where he died. (1) There is some evidence that Anthony may have been married to Anne Marbury of Alford, Somersetshire, England. It is thought that he was married before he left England. Many family researchers believe his wife (his 2nd?) was the sister of another "first purchaser" of Taunton, WILLIAM HARVEY. (2) There may have been at least two and pos. three Giles Slocum's who were pos. around the same age. I believe there was a Giles who was Anthony's son; a nephew Giles whose parents were Phillip & Charity Bickham Slocum (I think Phillip was Anthony's bro.); and pos. a Giles who may have been Anthony's cousin. (3) There was also a Martha Slocum who was in England at the same time as Anthony and she, too, married a Harvey, William, and came to America with Anthony. According to information I just recently received (April, 1998) from Ralph Robinson III, a descendant of Giles Slocombe (dob: 1623), Anthony came to America in 1635 with Agnes and a Giles. This Giles b. 9-1623 in Old Cleve, England; d. 1682 in Portsmouth; was married (1640) to Joan Cook. (4) Anthony Slocombe (1590-1688) emigrated from England to America in about 1635 and is the founding father of Slocum and Slocumb families in America. (5) Anthony is recorded in New England from 1637-1662 as a distinguished citizen of the Plymouth Colony. (6) Sometime before 1670, Anthony, his wife Agnes, and his two sons, John and Joseph, sailed down the Atlantic coast and settled on the north shore of Albemarle Sound in what is now North Carolina. Anthony's other son, Giles, stayed in New England and did not come to Carolina. Apparently few of the descendants of Joseph or John spelled their name Slocomb. (7) Anthony emigrated from England to the Plymouth Colony sometime around 1635, only 15 years or so after the Pilgrims landed. During the "Great Migration", between 1630-1640, an estimated twenty-thousand people left England and settled in the Plymouth Colony and its neighbor to the north, the Massachusetts Bay Colony, the two colonies merging in 1691 to become the Province of Massachusetts. (8) Anthony is first recorded in America in 1637 as one of the 46 original ("first and ancient") settlers and purchasers of Cohannet (Taunton, it was incorporated March 3, 1639) & Dartmouth , MA, located about 25 miles west of Plymouth. (9) He was one of the initial shareholders of an ironworks established near Taunton in 1652-1656, the first successful and permanent ironworks in America. (10) Though he lived in Taunton for about 25 years, he held no high office there but was listed as a Freeman (a fully franchised citizen) and did perform jury service and had the right to bear arms. In 1659, Anthony's household of "six heads" was recorded in Taunton, as well as he was "able to bear arms." The records of Dartmouth Township, previous to 1725, were destroyed by fire. (11) Anthony is last recorded in Taunton on June 3, 1662 when he was listed as one of the two surveyors of highways in the Taunton area. (12) Soon after 1662 he disposed of his Taunton holdings and moved into the wilderness of southwestern Massachusetts near the coastal town of Dartmouth, Plymouth Colony in 1664. There he settled by the Pascamanset River, known locally as the Slocum River, on a piece of land known as Slocum Neck. (13) Sometime in the late 1660's, Anthony migrated with some of his family (Agnes, John and Joseph) to old Albemarle County in North Carolina, settling on a plantation about four miles north of the present-day town of Edenton, NC. (14) A September 1670 court petition records Anthony as one of the earliest settlers in Albemarle County; the only previous court record being dated 15 July 1670. Although he was nearly 80 years old upon his arrival, he achieved considerable prominence in Albemarle and was more active in public affairs than in any other time in his lifetime. Albemarle County Council and Court records show Anthony being a distinguished citizen of Albemarle from 1670 until his death in 1689. (15) Anthony settled in the Chowan Precinct of Albemarle County, and in 1677 was elected a Burgess (Representative) from Chowan, serving in the Assembly called by the acting Governor in the fall of 1677. (16) In December, 1677, Anthony was among the leaders of an uprising, called the Culpepper Rebellion (Settlers rebel against tax collection), in which the acting Governor and his supporters were seized and thrown in prison. (17) Anthony was elected to the "rebel" Assembly and remained there until the Lord Proprietors took control of the situation in the summer of 1679. He was appointed one of the six members of the Governor's Council in 1679, (Palatine Court) and a Lord Proprietor's Deputy in 1680. North Carolina Colonial Records show that in January 1680, at the age of 90, Anthony was still active in government affairs as seen by a court deposition partially quoted as follows: "The depoicon of Anthony Slocum, Esq. one of ye Lds Proprs Deputies aged Ninety Years of thereabouts saith..." (18) In the year 1684, he applied for a patent and was granted the 600 acres of his plantation located on Mattacomack Creek, by the mouth of Miry Swan, north of Edenton, the plantation being known as Slocumbs. The Palatine Court named each Governor and Property transactions. (19) Anthony died in Albemarle County in 1688-89, his will being made on 26 November 1688 and recorded on 7 January 1689. "One of the trusty & well-beloved Councellors who signs, with the President of Council, as Patent for land." The main beneficiaries named in the will were his son John, and John's wife Elizabeth. The original will is now in the North Carolina State Archives in Raleigh, NC. (20) From Ralph W. Robinson II (RROBINSONII@webtv.net) a desc. of Giles Slocombe, nephew to Anthony and "father" of Northern Slocums. There was preserved a fragment of a letter Anthony wrote to "his brother-in-law, William Harvey, in Taunton." ..."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." (21) Anthony Slocum (sic) witnessed a will February 25, 1660 of one of his partners in the ironworks in Taunton, MA which also mentions his brother-in-law, William Harvey: John Deane of Taunton [fol. 62] "Upon the 25 t of the 2cond month * 1660: 1 John Deane of Taunton .... aged sixty yeares or therabouts" made his will. It was probated at Plymouth, 7 June, 1660, "on the oathes of Leiftenant James Wyatt and Anthony Slocum." Bequests were as follows: To "my eldest son John Deane my Dwelling house with all my out houses with all my home ground on both sides the great river alsoe my great lott at the two mile river with my meadow att Wassonett; onely .... if God take away my eldest son before hee marry then my second son being then liveing to enjoy what I have given to my eldest son; and what I have given to my 2cond son to bee Devided between my two youngest sons or to either of them" To "my sonne Thomas Deane my second sone all my land att Squabenansett two Devisions with the meadow ptaining to that; alsoe another pcell of meadow lying on the south side of the great river; Called the little Necke; as alsoe another pcell of meadow on the same south side of the great river lying on the east side of the meadow Called Bare need" To "my third son Israell Deane the house and lott I bought of Clement Maxfeild and all the home land belonging therunto; alsoe another pcell of land lying between Nicholas Whites house and mistris Gilberts house att Scaddings with my meadow land lying att Scaddingsmore" To "my two youngest sonns Isacke and Nathanaell I give my Devision of land which is agreed upon to bee layed out equally to bee Devided between- them;" "my wife shall enjoy all my housing and lands During her life unlesse shee see cause to leave pte or the whole to my sons before her Death" To "my Daughter Elizabeth a young Cow" "my overseers with the Consent of my wife shall incase heer bee noe settled minnestrey in Taunton; they shall have full power to sell either the whole or pte of these my housings and lands; soe as my Children and Posteritie may remove elsewhere where they may enjoy God in his ordinances;" "I Give all the rest of my Goods and estate .... to Allice my wife whome I make .... sole exequitrix" "I make my Brother Walter Deane and James Wyatt my overseers of this my last will" The will was signed by a mark. The witnesses were Hezekiah Hoar, Anthony Slocum (who signed by a mark) and James Wyatt. The inventory was taken by Walter Deane, James Wyatt and William Harvey " and exhibited before the Court held att Plymouth" 7 June, 1660, "on the oath of Allice Deane Widdow; "his share in the Iron workes" was appraised at £ ...

Ron, Try the NY State Archives. If he served in a NY militia unit, they may have payrolls or a petition for claim (NY reimbursed its soldiers for expenses incurred during service). They have a webpage. Address is: New York State Archives Cultural Education Center Rm 11D40 Albany, NY 12230 Tel: 518-474-8955 email: refserv@unix6.nysed.gov If he was an militia officer, the commissions were published in NY State Council of Appointments, Military Records, 1784-1821, compiled and edited by Hugh Hastings (1902).
