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

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

Generation: 2

  1. 2.  Mary Slocum Descendancy chart to this point (1.Samuel1) was born 12 Aug 1708.

    Notes:

    This birth date for Mary came from Rootsweb -- not sure if is the corrct one for this particular Mary.


  2. 3.  Samuel Slocum Descendancy chart to this point (1.Samuel1) was born 9 Sep 1711; died Abt Feb 1775, Jamestown, RI.

    Notes:

    Exeter Land Evidence:
    In 1741 Samuel Slocum of Jamestown and Ann his wife deeded two pieces of land to his "infant" brother Peleg of North Kingstown, one piece to brother Moses, and one piece to brother John. Probably "infant" means minor; otherwise, his father must have had a younger second wife. In any case, Peleg would have been born prior to 18 June 1741.

    In 1753 Samuel Slocum of Jamestown, yeoman, and Hannah his wife sold two tracts of land to "John Raynolds."

    From the location and content of these two items of land evidence, these two Samuels appear to be the same individual, although possibly the second deed could pertain to his parents, also Samuel & Hannah. I do not know when they died.

    Samuel's will dated 16 January 1775 (if it is indeed his will) says he is "aged." It mentions no wife, but mentions a deceased brother Benjamin Slocum (according to a transcript of the will in the RI Genealogical Register, Vol. 3 No. 3 p. 250). This is confusing because no genealogies I have consulted list a sibling Benjamin for this Samuel. However, I have added him (see note at Benjamin).

    The will also mentions Samuel's children as follows: Samuel, Jr., of Jamestown; William, of Newport; Peleg; Abel; Sarah (Anrick?); Penelope; and Rhoda.

    Samuel married Anne Gould 1733, North Kingstown, RI. Anne (daughter of John Gould and Elizabeth Gardiner) was born Abt 1713; died Bef Nov 1746. [Group Sheet]

    Children:
    1. 10. Avis Slocum  Descendancy chart to this point was born 14 May 1734; died 22 May 1814.

  3. 4.  Benjamin Slocum Descendancy chart to this point (1.Samuel1) was born Between 1715 and 1741; died Bef 16 Jan 1775.

    Notes:

    Benjamin is mentioned as deceased in his brother Samuel's will of 16 January 1775.

    The RI Cemetery Database lists a Benjamin Slocum c.1715 - 11 Jan 1724, buried PO 600. Whether this is the same individual must be researched.


  4. 5.  Edward Slocum Descendancy chart to this point (1.Samuel1) was born Abt Jan 1717/18.

    Notes:

    Edward is not mentioned in his father's will. His name is found in several genealogies, but I have not yet located "official" documentation (I need to research this family more). Edward was likely named after his mother's father, Edward Carr.


  5. 6.  Ebenezer Slocum Descendancy chart to this point (1.Samuel1) was born 24 Aug 1719.

    Notes:

    This birth date for Ebenezer came from Rootsweb -- not sure if it is correct for this particular Ebenezer.

    Ebenezer married Mary Northup 8 Jun 1738, Jamestown, RI. Mary (daughter of Stephen Northup, Jr. and Damaris Unknown) was born Abt 1719. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    Avis Northup was baptized on 12 Nov 1782, the same day as her husband Gideon and her brother-in-law Rouse.

    Avis married Gideon Northup 26 Sep 1751, Jamestown, RI. Gideon (son of Nicholas Northup and Freelove Eldred) was born 28 Jan 1727/28; died 1 Oct 1813, North Kingstown, RI. [Group Sheet]

    8. 29. Elizabeth Northup  Descendancy chart to this point was born 1777; died 19 Nov 1860, North Kingstown, RI.

  2. 11.  Samuel Slocum Descendancy chart to this point (3.Samuel2, 1.Samuel1) was born 11 Feb 1736/37.

    Notes:

    In his father's will, Samuel is referred to as being "of Jamestown."

    This may be the Samuel Slocum who married Patience Tallman, d/o Peter; and/or who married Sophia and died c.1825. (This needs more research.)


  3. 12.  William Slocum Descendancy chart to this point (3.Samuel2, 1.Samuel1) was born Abt 1739.

    Notes:

    I have estimated William's year of birth. He is mentioned in his father's 1775 will as being "of Newport." I am making an assumption that his mother was Anne, whose maternal grandfather was William Gardiner.


  4. 13.  Ann Slocum Descendancy chart to this point (3.Samuel2, 1.Samuel1) was born 25 May 1742, South Kingstown, RI; died 6 Dec 1831, Deerfield, Oneida Co., NY.

    Notes:

    I am making an assumption that this marriage in Jamestown, for Ann Slocum, daughter of Samuel & Ann, puts the bride in this family group, even though I have not found a birth record for her as yet (needs more research).

    Ann married William Northup 16 Aug 1761, Jamestown, RI. William (son of Nicholas Northup and Freelove Eldred) was born 8 Dec 1732, South Kingstown, RI; died Abt 21 May 1827, Newport, Herkimer Co., NY; was buried , Baptist Churchyard, Deerfield, Oneida, Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    I am making an assumption that this is Rev. William Northup, who died 31 May 1839, according to the North Kingstown church records in James N. Arnold's Vital Record of RI.


  4. 25.  Sarah Northup Descendancy chart to this point (10.Avis3, 3.Samuel2, 1.Samuel1) was born Abt 28 Nov 1762.

  9. 30.  Remington Northup, Sr. Descendancy chart to this point (13.Ann3, 3.Samuel2, 1.Samuel1) was born 1 Feb 1764, North Kingstown, RI; died 1829, Deerfield, Oneida Co., NY.

    Notes:

    The birth record for Remington Northup says he was a son of Nicholas & Ann (Slocum) Northup. Was this a clerk's error? I have a marriage for another Ann Slocum to Nicholas, William's older brother; but supposedly she died defore Remington would have been born. This puzzling entry needs more research.

    At the present time I am assuming that Remington was indeed a son of William & Ann. He went to Oneida, NY, as they did. Also, he named a son William.

    Remington married Amy Knowles Abt 1791. Amy was born Abt 1769. [Group Sheet]
