Jean (the Shadow) and I have been back and forth for quite some time now. I had given her a lot of info. and she picked up a couple of the Slocum books, which were photocopies, and wasn't too pleased, however she figures that with their condition she can mark them up with corrections and or page numbers for quick refferences. My searches for your information have thus far covered 50 pages and approximately 75 first names of William, and have come up with blanks. Presently, the closest I could fine was; William Slocum, born April 19, 1785. Married (unknown). He had a son named William (no dates) who lived in Clinton, Oneida Co., N.Y. (my ref. page 105). No other information on him. There were several williams in Saratoga, but that was not the area you gave me, and I'm not sure how far away that is from your location of interest.Dates, etc. did not come close to any information you gave me, so I discarded that search.There are another 125 persons named William to check out. These all have middle names, with only 3 persons who have a middle name starting with P. and none of those three are named Pebble.I think looking into the next 125 is a waste of time, but I want you to be satisfied, so I'll do what I can, but it may take a few days. I don't know if I suggested this before, but if you contact the town, or city hall in the area in which William Pebble and his wife lived, they may have records on his family and the names of his and her parents. Researching my mother's side of the family, I had very little information, however, when I was able to get the death certificates of her mother and father, I was able to find, in those records, the names of their parents. I then got their death certificates, and was able to trace back one more generation. Unfortunately the next generation back was in Germany, and I have now come to the Brick wall, with very little hope of finding any previous information. I'm sure most of it was destroyed when Germany was practically burned out during the 2nd world war. To make matters worse, the name Tombo is not German, but can't find what it was. It could have been French ( Tombeaux ) perhaps Swiss or Itallian. The only thing we both can do is keep posting the inquiries and asking for info. at different web sites. I'll let you know when I have to call it quits. I like challenges and will try my best, but, the way things presently look, please don't get your hopes up.
