Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/RI/Newport/10051 Surname: Slocombe, Bickham ------------------------- I've seen a lot of interest in Giles Slocum, son of Philip Slocombe and Charity Bickham of Old Cleeve. Not much seems to be known about Philip. I can add a bit, as i copied his will today... He wrote his will in 1624, and it was proved in 1625. He was living in Goathurst, Somerset. His legacies were to his wife (Charity), son Giles, and to his unborn child "if it live and survive".
