Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Peleg Slocum was born Between 1734 and 18 Jun 1741 (son of Samuel Slocum and Hannah Carr).

Generation: 2

  1. 2.  Samuel Slocum was born 2 Mar 1683/84, Jamestown, RI (son of Ebenezer SLOCUM and Mary THURSTON); died Bef 1748.

    Notes:

    According to his father's will, Samuel was the eldest son, and had received land in Scituate.

    Only two of Samuel's children, Ebenezer & Mary, were mentioned in the 1729 will of Samuel's mother, Mary (Thurston) Slocum.

    Some online genealogies include two other children for Samuel: William & Maria.

    Samuel married Hannah Carr Bef 22 Dec 1711. Hannah (daughter of Edward Carr and Hannah Stanton) was born 13 Oct 1691. [Group Sheet]


  2. 3.  Hannah Carr was born 13 Oct 1691 (daughter of Edward Carr and Hannah Stanton).

    Notes:

    Edward Carr's will of 22 Dec 1711 mentions his daughter, Hannah Slocum. I am making an educated guess that her husband was Samuel, who had a wife named Hannah. They were both from Jamestown, in the right time frame. Other online genealogies agree with this conclusion.

    Children:

    2. Samuel Slocum was born 9 Sep 1711; died Abt Feb 1775, Jamestown, RI.

At times he was the Speaker of the Assembly. He belonged to the society of Friends, and was referred to as "a valuable minister."

    The Jamestown Proprietors Records show that Ebenezer was chosen to be one of the Town Council ("Counsell"), and was chosen Moderator of meetings of the Proprietors and Freemen several times: 1682, 1683, 1684, 1685, 1697, 1699, and 1704. He was Head Warden in 1701.

  4. 7.  Hannah Stanton was born Between 7 Sep and 7 Nov 1670, Newport, RI (daughter of John Stanton and Mary Horndell); died 1752.

    Notes:

    Hannah is mentioned in the will of her maternal grandfather, John Horndell/Hordall.

    The will of Hannah Carr, of Jamestown, widow, mentions sons Edward & James, both of Jamestown; and her five daughters as well as their husbands.

    Notes:

    In the Jamestown marriage record, the year is no longer legible -- possibly 1690? It identifies Edward as "of Newport" and Hannah as "of James Towne." They were married "at Newport by W. C. Governour" (which is penned with a flourish).

Generation: 4

  1. 8.  Giles SLOCUM (son of Philip SLOCOMBE and Charity BICKHAM); died 1683, Portsmouth, RI.

    Notes:

    Giles & Joan were among the earliest settlers of Portsmouth, RI. He was there by 1648, was a freeman there by 1655, and purchased land in Dartmouth, MA in 1669. He was probably among the first to join the Society of Friends in RI, and made a bequest to the society in his will, dated 10 October 1681, calling the Quakers his "loving friends the people of God." He owned and gave to his sons large tracts of land in Rhode Island, New Plymouth (MA), and New Jersey.

    Giles — Joan Unknown. Joan died 31 Aug 1679. [Group Sheet]


  2. 9.  Joan Unknown died 31 Aug 1679.

    Notes:

    Friends' records record her death: "Joan Slocum the wife of old Giles she Dyed at Portsmouth the 31st 6 mo. 1679."

  3. 10.  Edward THURSTON was born 1617, England; died 1 Mar 1706/07, Newport, RI; was buried , Coddington Burial Ground, Newport, RI.

    Notes:

    Edward Thurston was a Quaker at Newport, RI, prior to 1647. He was a freeman at Newport in 1655. On 26 August 1688, Edward was one of a number of Quakers who signed a request addressed to the King asking to be excused from bearing arms because they were peaceable people, but promising to fulfill all other obligations of taxes and duties. In 1690 he was one of five signers of a letter to King William & Queen Mary, congratulating them on their accession to the Crown.

    I have very roughly estimated the birth years of some of Edward's children.

    Edward married Elizabeth MOTT 1647, Newport, RI. Elizabeth was born 1627. [Group Sheet]

  5. 12.  Governor Caleb Carr was born Between 1622 and 1624, London, Middlesex, England (son of Benjamin CARR and Martha HARDINGTON); died 17 Dec 1695.

    Notes:

    Caleb came to America as an 11-year-old with his brother, Robert, on the ship "Elizabeth & Ann" in 1635. They eventually settled in the area of Portsmouth and Newport, RI. Caleb was governor of the colony of RI, and it was during his tenure that he died by drowning.

    Alden G. Beaman gives his date of birth as 9 Dec 1616 (London), but this does not agree with his age given on the ship's roster, 11.

    His will was proved 6 Jan 1696 in Jamestown.
