There are no occult forces. There arc only luminous
forces. Occult force is chao>, the luminous force is Ciod.
Man I at his best] is an intinite little copy of God; this
is glory enough for man. 1 am a man, an invisible
atom, a drop in the ocean, a grain of sand on the khore.
Little as I am, I feel the God in me • • • When I go
down to tlie grave I can say, like many others, I have
finished my day's work; but I cannot say I have finished
my life. My days will begin again next morning. The
tomb is not a blind alley; it is a thoroughfare. It closes
on the twilight to open on the dawn. — \lCTOR Hugo.

PREFAS
This buk* iz suplementari to a buk with the sam titl publisht bi
the riter ov this in the yer 1882 in Syracuse, New York, and
Defiance, Ohio.
The subjekt-mater ov this Volum II haz bin kald forth bi the
influens ov Volum I, and bi al the varid menz hwich produst Vol-
um I, such az korespondens, personal vizits to diferent komunitiz,
and serching and reserching rekords ov al kinds; hwich eforts hav
okupid a konsiderabl part ov the riter's vakashons from hiz egzakt-
ing profeshon during the twenti-fiv yerz hwich hav elapst sins the
begining ov the distribushon ov Volum I.
During the last fu 3^erz thar hav bin revival and ekstenshon ov
interest in old rekords. This interest haz pervaded meni familiz,
evri Stat, and meni depozitoriz; and much ov valu regarding old
familiz, and the erli histori ov the Koloniz and Stats haz bin brot
to lit, and sum ov the data haz bin publisht. At the kapitol ov nerli
evri wun ov the older Stats trand forses ar at werk reparing old,
worn, torn and utherwaz mor or les bedimd rekords, or transkribing
them az fuli az posibl. The riter haz sat to kep informd regard-
ing the progres ov this werk, bi reding the publisht akounts, and
viziting thoz engajd in it — having, just previus to giving hiz manu-
*It aperz to the riter that no apoloji iz nesesari for the speling uzd in the
ferst part ov this buk. For meni yerz he haz favord such chanj and woz,
tharfor, redi to sin the rekwest to adopt the rekomendashon ov the Simpli-
fid Speling Bord ov Nu York, and to do mor; to favor the rulz rekomended
bi the Filolojikai Sosieti ov Lundun, Ingiand, and thoz ov the Amerikan
Filolojikal Asosiashon. Thez rulz, houever, hav not bin fuli, or regularii,
obzervd in this buk; but it iz that that enuf simplifikashon iz iizd to konvins
the averaj reder ov the dezirabiliti for mor; also that adherens to the s6-
kald 'iiistorikal orthografi iz onii a konseshon to the weknes ov prejudis."
In no korekt sens kan the prezent uzual speling ov Inglish be kald orthog-
rafi. (Jrthografi iz nesesarili fonetik ; and but fu adishons ov sound-indika-
torz to the alfabet ar nesesari for this dezlrabl rezult, werk for the kom-
sumashon ov hwich haz bin wel-advanst bi the sosietiz namd abuv.
Much ov this buk woz ritn several yerz ago in the uzual speling. The
most ov it iz printed az then ritn, the dezir prevaling not to postpon the

INTRODUCTORY
The Orijin* of the Surname Slocombe^ Slocum, etc., iz ov
local karakter, coming from the location ov an early setler at the
Combe in southwestern England coverd by luxuriant growth ov the
Sloe (wild plum) trees; hence John at the Slocombe, etc. This sur-

Coat ov Arms
A copy ov the Coat ov Arms ov 'Slocombe of Somersetshire' cn-
gravd in colors, waz bound in Volume I ov this jenealojilc work.
That ther may remain no misconception regarding this Heraldic bear-
ing, it iz here repeted that this copy waz made by the writer from'
Harleian MS. No. 1385 in The British Museum Library, London,
wher it waz rufly skecht with pen and ink. This MS. iz record,
in part, ov the report ov the Herald's Visitation ov Somersetshire
about the year 1573. The krisnd name ov the Slocombe to whom
it waz granted, or to whom it belongd in 1573, haz not been deter-
mind. While it evidently haz remaind in England without a claim-
ant for many jenerations, and Anthony the first recorded imigrant to
America waz mentiond az 'of the nobility' ther haz not been found
any definit evidens that this bearing belongd to him.f
The Imigrations ov Slocombes to America.
Nearly all ov the Slocums and Slocumbs in America ar desendants
ov Anthony the first imigrant.
* No explanation iz givn why this mark* iz plast after twenty five names
ov diferent familiz between 20 July, 1641, and 5 April, 1643, az recorded in
the Parish Register. It might reznabli be inferd that the persons whoz nams
ar thus markt died ov the plag which then prevald.
t See Volume I, footnote, Pajez 23, 24.
b THE SLOCUMS, SLOCUMBS, AND SLOCOMBS, OF AMERICA
It appears probabl that a later family imigration vvaz the sors ov
most ov the Slocombs.
Other imigratlons folowd, az noted herewith, with referens to
family number if ncsessary for record ov desendants.
Perhaps thoz ov the name, with interest in the great extent ov their
American lineaj, should feel complimented by the adoption ov their
surnam by diferent familiz from diferent kuntriz wher they wer
known by other surnams.
The list ov Slocombe imigrations, with perhaps som transients, in
kronolojik order is az folos, viz.:

AND THEIR ALLIANCES 9
THE SLOCUMS IN AMERICA
Family 1 (1)
Anthony Slocombe^ born in England about January, 1590-91,
and recorded by the clerk az Anthony Slocum from 1637 to 1662
inclusiv, in Taunton, New Plymouth, now Massachusetts, waz
namd az the common ancestor ov the Slocums in America in the
writer's Preliminary to the 8locum Genealogy publisht October, 1880,
in The New England Historical and Genealogical Register volume
xxxiv, pajes 391-395; also in my First Volume ov 644 pajes octavo
entitld A Short History of the Slocums, Slocumbs, and Slocombs of
America, etc., publisht in 1882. The name Anthony az the head ov
the American Slocum family haz been fully alcsepted by genealogists
and others who hav had occasion to copy from my work ; which many
ov them, I regret being oblijd to state, hav done without giving credit
to the sors ov their information.
But litl haz been found in New England during the last twenty-
five years in addition to the records ov this Anthony as givn in the
First Volume ov this work; and nothing haz been found to warrant
chanj in the skech ther givn, exsepting the surmizd rezon for hiz
departure from Taunton and hiz loss to record in New England.
The public records ov Taunton wer destroyd by fire in the year
1838, and it iz not definitly known when the first setlment waz ther
effected. If the records destroyd by fire containd the date ov such
setlment and the names ov the setlers previus to 1637, Francis Baylies
did not copy them into hiz Historical Memoir of the Colony of New
Plymouth which waz printed in 1830.* This valuabl Memoir, and
the Records of the Colony of New Plymouth, wer the sorses ov much
ov the interesting record ov Anthony Slocum in the First Volume ov
this work. The first item regarding him iz the list ov the forty-six
'first and ancient purchasers' A. D. 1637 ov the teritory ov Cohannet.
This tract ov land waz rather romboidal in general outline, about
eight miles in extent ov each ov its four sides, and comprizd about
forty-one thousand akers. It waz purchast ov the Aborigine Sachem
Massasoit at a price ov two shilings per aker. Deed ov it from him
* Baylies includes the account ov the journey thru the site ov Taunton in
1621 ov Edward Winslow and Stephen Hopkins, Mayflower pasenjerz on their
way to visit Sachem Massasoit. He also mentions the tradition ov setlers ther
az early az 1626.
10 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA
haz not been found. His son 'King Philip' confirmd the titl in 1663,
and he was then prezented with £16 additional payment.
The interest ov the several purchasers ov Cohannet for setlment in
1637 waz in the ratio ov six, eight, and twelv; Anthony Slocum sub-
scribing for eight shares. The 3 March, 1639, O. S. this tract ov
land, or mor particularly their villaj setlment, waz incorporated with
the name Taunton ; and the river by which they built their houses
waz also named Taunton* in onor ov the shire town and river in
Somersetshire, southwestern England, whens this band ov liberty
sekers had migrated. It iz probabl that they came in one or mor ov
the ships Arbella, Mary, or John, and landed at Dorchester which iz
now within the corporation ov Boston.
Anthony waz recorded in August, 1643, at Taunton among the
fifty-four persons ther, between the ajez ov sixteen and sixty years,
abl to bear arms for military duty;t also recorded in 1650 and 165 1
as juryman.
Big iron ore waz noted in such larj quantitiz around Taunton that
a stock company waz formd 21 October, 1652, for its reduction. By
'free vote of the town, permission waz givn to bild a dam for water
power and to . . "set up a Bloomery Work on the Two Mile River
[tributary to the Taunton River] . . that they shall have the
woods on either side . . to cut for their wood to make coals, and
also to dig and take moine or ore at Two Mile Meadow, or in any
of the commons appertaining to the town." . . The share price
in the company waz set at £20 ful share, £10 half share, and £> a
quarter share. Anthony Slocum waz enrold as a member, but the
amount ov hiz holdings is not found. The iron works did not start
until 1656; and not any ov the product waz shard for th re years.
* Taun is Gaelic for River. Taunton iz contraction ov Taun Town, Town
by the River.
t The necessity for being armd and redy at any moment for self protec-
tion in the wilderness waz evident to the Colonists from the time ov their first
setlment ; but ther waz no generaly prescribd cors for unity ov action until
the confederation ov the Coloniz ov New England, effected at Boston 29 May,
1643. Therin the several General Courts wer advizd to attend particularly
to the arms and equipments ov the citizens ov their Coloniz, their ammunition,
stors, etc., and to report anyualy to the Commissioners. Six anual trainings,
at least, wer orderd to be givn thruout the Coloniz. The proportion ov men
to lie raisd in the (liferent Coloniz in case ov war or iminent danjer, waz fixt
by the Commissioners at the abuv date as folos: Massachusetts Bay 150;
PIvmoth 30; Connecticut 30; New Haven 25. Rhode Island and Providence
Plantations wer not included in the confederation at this time, being alienated
on account ov the diferent religius belief held therin.

AND THEIR ALLIANCES II
According to records found later years in distant houses ther wer in
the year '1659, 400 shared. 1660, a ton of iron sould to buy goods
whi: were divided.' The works wer least i April, 1660, to thre
persons who formd a new company, including Anthony Slocum; and
the works wer operated profitably until King Philip's War when ther
waz much destruction ov property by the savajes. This waz the first
sucsesful, and permanent, iron manufactory in this country. During
the earlier years the company waz a veritabl bank on which every
biznes man, including the yeomen, paid the minister, and for every
purchas, by an order for a dezignated quantity ov iron equal to the
obligation. Sucseding members ov the company enlarjd the industry
until the product ov iron manufacturd, including tacks and small
nails, at Taunton in 1889 amounted to $2,000,000, the ore and fuel
being brought from distant plases.*
Anthony Slocum waz admitted Freeman ov Taunton 3 June, 1657.
To secure this onor it waz necessary for everyone to hav the testimony
ov his nabors that he waz 'of sober and peaceable conversation, and
Orthodox in the Fundamentals of Religion' and he must declar under
oath that he waz over one and twenty years ov aj, and that he had, a
ratabl estat in the government ov at least £20. Anthony waz a mem-
ber ov the Grand Jury 7 June, 1659; and at the division ov land,
agreed upon 28 December, 1659, ov 'two acres to the head, two acres
to the shilling, and two acres to the lot' he had a rating or tax ov
nineteen shilings and four pence; with household ov six heads; and
fifty-thre akers ov land.
Az one ov the two Survaors ov the Highways 3 June, 1662, iz the
last time that Anthony Slocum's name haz been found recorded at
Taunton. Soon after this date he dispozd ov his holdings ther to
Richard Williams, and movd with Ralph Russell into the wildernes
ov the southwestern part ov New Pymouth which waz incorporated
in 1664 with the name Dartmouth. It has been prezumed that he
setld in the southern part ov Dartmouth 'by Pascamanset River which
has since been more generally known as Slocum's River' and the neck
ov land to the west ov it has been known as Slocum's Neck.f Thez

names hav been perpetuated by the setlmcnt ther ov his grandchildren
Giles^ (5) Peleg^ (8) Mary^ (10) and Eleazer^ Slocum (11) and
their desendants. Here the story ov Anthony Slocum ends in New
Plymouth and New England so far az determind by the writer.
It waz not until the persistent and systematic serch and rescrch
instituted by the \\riter in 1886 among the Slocumbs, and the old
records, ov North Carolina, and the culminating rezults among the
records in February, 1907, that the story ov this venerabl founder ov
the name in America could be rezumed and continued until hiz death
in January 1689-90, O. S. at the aj ov ninty-eight or ninty-nine years.
The next record found regarding Anthony Slocum iz in North
Carolina. It iz here presented az near az type can giv it; and others
folo, viz:
1670. At a Generall Court held ye 27 September, 1670, at y^ house of Saml

valuabl English hat at sea, perhaps when on hiz way to setl in North Caro-
lina; that it waz pickt up by the fisherman, and that the owner waz nesessi-
tated to go to the court for its surrender. This record iz evidens that he waz
among the earliest permament setlers by the Albemarle River; the only record
ov previus court bearing date 15 July, 1670. Thez records ar in the Ofis ov

The mention ov o;randsons Gilbert in Anthony Slocum's Wil, here

William Harvey in Taunton' after hiz departur from New England.
The fragment of this leter prezervd, reads az folos:
To the Church of Christ in Taunton and to 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, re-
member our respects and loves; and my sons are all married*
The identity ov Anthony Slocum ov New England and North
Carolina iz further confirmd by this leter and the naming ov hiz
grandsons Gilbert in hiz Wil. The naming ov William Harvey az
'brother in law' in this leter led the writer ov History of Sutton,
Neiu Hampshire, 1890, to the statement that William Harvey ov
Taunton marid second, 'Martha Slocum sister of Anthony.' This
statement iz refuted in The Harvey Book (genealogy) 1899, and in
7opes, Pioneers of Massachusetts, 1 900, by showing that this Martha
waz ov the Copp Family. Ther appears no definit means at hand for
determining the exact relationship between Anthony Slocum and
William Harvey ov Taunton. They may hav marid sisters; or
Anthony may hav marid hiz sister; or they may hav been half
brothers, az it waz then customary to call half brothers brothers-in-
law. The number, and high character, ov Harveys surrounding
Anthony Slocum in North Carolina, iz significant.
Considerabl serch haz been made to asertain the name ov the craft
in which Anthony Slocum went to North Carolina. All vesels wer
small at that time and litl if any record waz kept ov their going and
coming, particularly ov the numerus privat coasters. Much ov the
food ov thez early colonists waz procured from the sea, and each larj
family had one or mor boats cald seaworthy.
It is sugjestiv that Giles- Slocum, 2, ov Portsmouth, near Newport,
Rhode Island, purchast land in East New Jersey az early az 20 May,
1667, and again in 1670; also that hiz son John, grandson of An-
thony, waz a freholder, and waz admited a Freman, in East New
Jersey in May, i668.t
Anthony and hiz family may hav accompanid his grandson John
(and perhaps Samuel, Family (9) paj 54 ov Vol. I) in hiz boat to
New Jersey and, after a visit ther, he may hav been taken by the same
boat to the Albemarle, Carolina, which waz then much talkt about

war with the savajes that folod blighted the Colony for years and,
probabli, would hav destroyed it entirely but for the prompt and
jenerus action ov the peopl ov South Carolina in ansering the cal for
help. Governor Spottswood ov Virginia made an eloquent speech
to hiz Legislatur, appealing to its members by al the considerations
ov humanity, kinship, naborhood and self-interest, to help their
brethren in Albemarle ; and he sukseded in geting an appropriation ov
£1000 in their behalf; but the appropriation waz not expended, az
the security required by Governor Spottswood for repayment waz such
that the North Carolina authoritiz said they could not giv, it being
a morgaj on the territory north ov the Roanoke River. South Caro-
lina responded imediately without asking morgaj or other security for
repaj^ment ov expenditurs — voted £4000 mony, and sent troops at
once.t
In the first onslaut ov the savajes, one hundred and thirty white

Township ov Portsmouth, Rhode Island. Their dauter Mary Mott,
born 25 February, 1708, marid 18 February, 1739, Nathaniel Greene
ov Warwick Township, now in Kent County, R. I. Their son
Nathaniel Greene, born 27 May, 1742, in Potowhommet, Warwick,
R. I., became the noted Revolutionary General in the American Army.
Hiz ansestors, ov both lines, wer prominent members ov the Sosiety
ov Friends, hiz father being a leading minister; and he waz from
infancy environd in hiz father's home by quiet unostentatious lives.
He waz taught to work on hiz father's farm, at hiz anchor forj, and
in hiz smal flouring mil; and here he saw much ov the scaterd rural
peopl, also ov the mor adventuresom ones engajd in coasting trade
about Narraganset Bay and wider waters. He waz studius and be-
came interested in history, English and ancient; mathematics, law,
and the moral and political fazes ov the time. He waz also fond ov
reading books on war. When the occasion oferd he waz prepard
to be a leader. He waz chozen member ov the Rhode Island Assem-
bly in 1770, and to the great scandal ov hiz fello Quakers he waz
among the first to engaj in the military considerations preparatory to
rezisting the unwiz impozitions ov Great Britain, the mother country.
In 1774 Nathaniel Greene enlisted az a privat soldier, and in 1775
he waz appointed to command the Rhode Island soldiers at Boston,
with the rank ov Brigadier General. He fulfild every duty so wel
that he waz promoted to Major General in the patriot army in 1776;
and az such he distinguisht himself in the engajments with the British
forses at Trenton, Princeton, Brandyw^ine ; and az Commander ov
the Army ov the South. Congress prezented him a medal, and
Georgia and the Carolinas made him valuabl grants ov land. He
haz been esteemd second only to Washington az a military com-
mander. At the clos ov the Revolutionary War he returnd to quiet
life in Rhode Island, but made visits to the South. The place ov hiz
deth, which occurd 19 July, 1786, and ov hiz burial, wer subjects ov
inquiry by the Society ov Cincinnati and, after due serch hiz bones,
debre ov his coffin, and butons ov hiz uniform, wer found in igoi
in a Savannah, Georgia, cemetery vault.
The servis ov this patriot with Slocum blood, and the servlses ov

afford studiz in patriotism; also in the influens ov heredity and envi-

Capt. Edward" Slocum {Ebenezer* Eleazer,^ Giles,- Anthony,^)
woz born 10 July, 1754, in or near Tiverton Township, Newport
County, Rhode Island. Notwithstanding the precepts ov hiz parents,
who wer prominent members ov the Sosiety ov Friends, and examples
ov his ansestors in both lines for generations, he enlisted in the Revo-
lutionary Army (as did two ov hiz brothers) and at the cloz ov the
war he became a charter member ov the Sosiety ov Cincinnati az
shown by the foloing articl to which he subscribd his name, viz:
Cantonment of American Army on Hudson's River, May loth, 1783.
The officers of the American Army having generally been taken from the
citizens of America, possess high veneration for the character of that illus-
trious Roman Lucius Qunitius Cincinnatus, and being resolved to follow his
example by returning to their citizenship, they think they may with propriety
denominate themselves The Society of Cincinnati.
This Sosiety haz been kept in activ existens by the sucseding eldest
male lineal desendants ov the charter memberz. The hereditary seat
ov Captain Slocum haz continued vacant since hiz deth which occurd
2 March, 1822, in Westfield, Massachusetts. Hiz children became
scaterd early, and communication between them ceast. During the
sumer ov 1906 the secretary ov this Sosiety for Rhode Island woz
activ in correspondens to find the heir to the vacant chair, but without
sucses. This Sosiety haz the foloing record ov Captain Slocum, viz:
Entered Army May 8, 1775, as first sergeant Captain William Cook's Com-
pany, Third Regiment Rhode Island Continental Infantry; was promoted to
Ensign in same company June 18, 1775, and to Lieutenant June 28, 1775. He
was in the Quebec Expedition of September, 1775, and at the siege of that city.
He was in the second storming column in the attack in which General Mont-
gomery was killed, and he was taken prisoner; was held in close custody until
exchanged the following year. Joined his regiment on the Hudson in July,
1777. Promoted to Captain May 26, 1778. Honorably discharged November
3, 1779, while stationed with his regiment at East Greenwich, R. I.
58 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA
He participated in the defense of Fort Mercer, repulse of the Hessians under
Count Donop ; at Whitemarsh; Valley Forge; and the Campaign under Gen-
eral Sullivan which terminated with the Battle of Rhode Island.

in 1852 they settled near Picket's Station, Wis., where their home became a
resting place for the itinerant, as well as for ministers of other denominations,
and no pains were spared to make them comfortable and happy. At first they
had to go a long distance to enjoy the public means of grace, but soon ilirough
their efforts preaching was established in their own neighborhood. In her last
days she was wonderfully sustained by the grace of CJod, and kept cheerful
and happy to the last. "Blessed are the dead who die «n the Lord." — R. S.

Russell Sage waz born 4 August, 181O, at the Hamlet m Mienan-
doah, New ^Ork, while hiz parents wer on the wa>' by their pioner
konvaans from Middletown, Connecticut, w ith expekt:ishon ov going
to Michigati. Upon their arival in N'erona Township, Oneida
County, New ^Ork, tha desided not to go an\ further; and here in
Durhamville Russell waz rerd to the aj ov twelv \erz. He waz the
fifth sun ()\ lMi>li;i Sage and in the fifth jenerashon from David
ho kame from Wales and setld in Middletown, Connecticut, in
1052. In 1S2S Russell went to Trov. N. ^ ., az an erand
boy in the grosery stor ov hiz brother, Henr\ Risle\ Sage, re-
seving four dolarz per month and hiz bord. From this first
step into the biznes world, hiz rize waz rapid; he bekame klerk ;
and soon therafter he went into partnership w ith another brother
also in grosery biznes. He savd his ernings, and purchast hiz
brother's interest. From 1839 to 1844 he and John \V. Bates
kondukted a wholsale grosery in Troy, which inkrest, and extendeii
to their kontrol ov the karying ov their goods, and ov the produkts ov
the visinity to New York Sit\ , in their own boats, and to their leder-
ship ov the grosery trade in Troy and Albany ; also leders in the hors
market from Vermont and Canadian sorses. In 1844 he purchast
Mr. Bates' interest for $150,000.00, and kondukted the biznes alon
until larjer biznes interests nesesitated its sale. Befor the aj ov thirty
yerz, he waz, probabh , the w elthiest man in the land outside ov New-
York Sity.
In politiks Mr. Sage began az a Whig. He servd sevn yerz from

biimmed hat; was of sandy hair and light complexion and much freckled;
that he lived about half a mile from a town where there was a fort; that they
lived in a wootlen house of two stories hight, and had a spring near the liouse.
She says three Delawares [Aborigines] came to the house in the day time
when all were absent but herself, and perhaps two other children; her father
and brothers were absent working in the field. The Indians carried her off
and she was adopted into a family of Delawares who raised her and treated
her as their own child. They died about forty years ago, somewhere in Ohio.
She was then married to a .Miami by whom she had four cliildren; two of
them are now living — they arc both daughters — and she lives with them. Her
husband is dead ; she is old and feeble, and thinks she will not live long.
These considerations induced her to give the present history of herself, whicli
she would never do before, fearing that her kindred would cotne and force
her away. She has lived lung and ha|>p> as an Indian and, but for her color,
would not be suspected of being anything else than such. She is very respec-
table, and wealthy, sober and honest. Her name is without reproach. She
says her father had a large family, say eight children in all, six older than
herself, one \ounger, as well as slie can recollect; and she doubts not there
are yet living many of their descendants, but seems to think that all her
brothers and sisters must be dead, as she is very old herself, not far from the
age of eighty [lier true age was then less than sixty-two vears]. Sl)c. thinks
she was taken prisoner before the two last wars, which must mean tlie Revo-
lutionary War, as Wayne's war [1794] and the late war [\N'ar of 1812-14]
have been since that one. She has entirely lost her motlier tongue and speaks
only in Indian, which I also understand and she gave me a full histoid' of
herself.
Her own Christian name she has forgotten but sa>s her father's name was
Slocum* and he was a Quaker. She also recolects that it was upon the Sus-
(|uehaima River that they lived, but don't recolect the name of the town near
which tiiey lived. I have thought that from this letter you might cause some-
thing to be inserted in the newspapers of your country that might possiblx catch
the eye of some of the descendants of the Slocum family who have knowledge
Ewing from the 'large brimmed hat' tiie Kaptiv asented to in anser to hi/
kweschon. Ther ar a number ov other klever surmi/es in this very interesting
letr.
•This statment agen sugjests that .\Ir. Ewing had red sum ov the nuzpapr

thiz sors. Member/ ov Ihe Sosiet\ ov Frends uzd the surman onl\ when

our family. How the matter should have lain so long wrapped in obscurity
we cannot conceive. An aunt of mine — sister of my father — was taken awa\
when five years old b\ the Indians, and since then we have only had vague
and indistinct rumors upon the subject. Your letter we deem to have entirely
revealed the whole matter, and set everything at rest. The description is so
perfect, and the incidents (with the exception of her age) so correct, that we
feel confident.
Steps will be taken immediately to investigate the matter, and we will en-
deavor to do all in our power to restore a lost relative who has been sixt>
years in Indian bondage.

Dkar Sir: 1 lia\p tiie pleasure of acknowledging the receipt of your letter
of tlie 8tl) insiaiK, and in answer can add that the fetnale I spoke i»i in
Januarv, 1835, is still alive; nor can I for a moment doubt but that she is the
identical relative that has been so long lost to your fatiiily.
I feel mucii gratified to think that 1 have been thus instrumental in disclos-
ing to \ourself and friends such facts in relation to her as will enable >(>u to
visit her and satisfy yourselves more fully. She recovered from the temporary
illness by which she was afflicted about the time 1 -pent the night with her in
Januars, 1835, anil which was, no doubt, the cau"«e that induceil lier to speak
so freely of her early captivity.
Althougli she is now by long habit an Indian and her manner and customs
precisely theirs, yet she will dt>ubtless be happy to see any of you, and I myself
will take great pleasure in accompanying you to the house. Should you come
out for that purpose, I advise you to repair directly to this place; and should
it so happen that I should be absent at the time, you will find others who can
take you to her. Bring with you this letter; show it to James T. Miller of
Peru, Indiana, a small town not far from this place. He knows her well. He
is a young man whom we have raised. He speaks the .Miami tongue and will
accompany you if I should not be at home. Inquire for the old white woman,
mother-in-law to Brouillette, living on the Mississinewa River, about ten
miles above its mouth. There you Ziill find the long lost sister of your father
and, as I before stated, you will not have to blush on her account. She is
highly respectable, and her name as an Indian is without reproach. Her
daughter, too, and her son-in-law Brouillette who is also a half-blood being
part French, are both very respectable and interesting people — none in the
Nation are more so. As Indians, they live well, and will be pleased to see
you. Should you visit here this fall, I may be absent, as I purpose starting
for New York in a few davs and shall not l>e back till some time in October.

But this iirrii not stop >ou: for, allhouKli I should be ){niii(icJ to sec you, yet
it will be turticieru to learn that 1 have furthered your wishes in this truly
interesting matter.
The very kind manner in which you have been pleased to speak o< me shall
be tully appreciated.
There are perhaps M>en who could have heard her story unmoved; but for
me. I could not; and when I reflected that there was, perhaps, still lingering
. thit tide of the K^'ve some brother or sister of that ill-fated woman, to
xvhom such information would be deeply interesting, I resolved on the course
which I adopted, and entertained the fond hope that my letter, if ever it should
go before the public, would attract the attention of M)me one interested. In
this it seems at last, I have not tfeen disappointed, although I have long since
luppoaed it had failed to effect the object for which I wroie it. Like you, I
regret that it should have been delayed so long, nor can 1 conceive how any-
one should neglect to publish such a letter.
At to the age of thi» female. I think »he herscit n rm^takm. and that she
IS not so old as she imagines herself to be. Indeed, I entertain no doubt but
that she i* the same (»erv)n thai \our familv have mourned after for more

perhaps half an acre which we entered through a gate wide enough for a
carriage to pass. Upon entering the house we were all introduced to the
Chief by Mr. Miller who told him our business in the nation. He received
us very courteously atid proffered us all the assistance in his power. He is
probably over fifty years of age, of portly and majestic appearance, being
more than six feet high, well proportioned and weighing about 320 pounds.
He was dressed in leggins and a blue calico shirt that came down to the
knee, profusely ornamented with ruffles of the same, his hair nearly half gray
and tied in a queue hanging elegantly down iiis back. After taking leave of
the Chief, we proceeded to Deaf .Man's N'illage, the residence of the captive
woman, a distance of about four miles further up the Mississinewa, where the
natives were employed in the same way as before described. At one of tliese
fields we found the husband of the youngest daughter of the captive woman.
He mounted his pony and went with us to the village where %ve were intro-
duced to the captive, her two daughters, and Captain Brouillette, the hukband
of the elder. The girls are aged thirty-three and twenty-three. The younger
has three small children, but not by this husband. VUe elder had two, but
both are dead. Capt. Brouillette is a half-breed Indian, of elegant appear-
ance, very straight and slim, and about six feet high. I'ncle Joseph at once
recognized his sister, and after conversing with them some time in the course
of whicli we endeavored by all means in our power to gain their confidence,
it was proposed to them to accompany us upon our return to Peru. .Mr. .Miller
had to give the old lady very strong assurances that we had no intention to
take her away contrary to her inclination, before she would go; and at length
she consented, and accompanied by her two daughters and their husbands, she
returned with us to the town where they joined us at the supper table and
appeared to be perfectl\ at ease. They had now l»ecome satisfied that
we were their relatives, and their confidence was so much strengthened
that she felt justified in proffering us their friendship. This was done by one
of them placing on the stand s<iinething wrapped in a white cloth, after which
they spoke with the interpreter in a sulemn manner, when he rt>se and said
that they were our friends, and by way of acknowledging themselves as such
they presented u> with a piece of fresh venison which they wished us to
receive as a token of friendship. We then rose and thanled them and received
the token, Mrs. Towne taking up the ham of venison and removing the cloth,
which made them satisfied. The next morning they all came to breakfast
with us, and the captive gave us, in the course of the day, all the history of
her life that she could recollect. Mr. Miller, to whom we are greatly in-
debted, and Mr. Hunt, acted as interpreters. I wrote down the narration in
the words of the interpreter. There are not many striking incidents in her
life, but she and her family in their native costume, their extreme simplicity
of manner, the natural modesty and solemnity of their deportment, formed
the most interesting group I ever beheld. They are decidedly the most respec-
table family in the [Miami] nation, and the> are also very wealthv, having
upward of a hundred horses and many cattle and hogs. Capt. Brouillette is
the only Indian who cultivates corn with the plow. He has a yoke of oxen,
and wagon, and frequently takes beef and other articles to market.

is subscribed in answer to this circular, we will endeavor to have the unveil-

who has published a History of the Slocum Family in America, has informed
us that he will come at any time the monument is unveiled; and it is expected
he will be prepared to delixer an address appropriate to the occasion.
The ritiT uv this book had sum previus korespondens on the sub-

agred upon for the work. However, he at wuns sent subskripslioi
with statnient that, in hiz opinion, the time menshond for the work
waz to short, and the preskribd monument wa/ inadequate. Re-
sponses to her sirkular wer meger, and Mrs. Murphy saw the failur
ov her eforts. After further korespcjndens she rekwested the riter to

Several ^cn^ .i^o i u.ni mi ir>iuiiiiiriK c \%iiii Mi> .Mary Slocum Murpli\
of Converse, Indiana, daughter of the laic Cieorge R. Slocum and grand-
daughter of Isaac, relative to erecting a monument at the grave of her grand-
aunt Frances Slocum the Captive, which grave remains uiunarked. At thai
time she discontinued work on this worthy project, and other matters crowded
it from my mind.
A few days ago I received a circular letter from her, stating that a monu-
ment would be unveiled at this grave in Dctobcr next; that contributions for
its purchase were invited; and that I would deliver an address at the un-
veiling.
My immediate reply to this circular was, that 1 was yet favorable to the
erection of a suitable monument, and would assist in every way desired. A
draft on New York, as my contribution, was enclosed. My letter intimated
that tlie monument prescribed in her circular might be thought inadeijuaie,
and the time announced too vhort in wliiili tn e^nlit-r fuiui* and hiii»li the work
this fall.
A letter was received today from Mrs. .Murphy, written in de>pondent tone.
She informs me that the money received amounts to less than fifty dollars-;
and slie requests me to take charge of tlie work, write to the nearest of kin
and ask for contributions.
In compliance with this request I send five letters of this copy, viz: One
to George Slocum Bennett, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.; Joseph \V. Slocum, Scranton
Levi D. Slocum, Carbondale; Frank L. SUKum, Pittsburg; and to Elliott 1 .
Slocum, Detroit, wliom I 'iiitiijest to act as committee witli Mrs. Murphy, for
completion of tlie work
It is hoped that each one addressed will take active interest in the matter.

Mr. Chairman, Mtiniin wi i,,, i.y^<nmitlfe, LaJiet and Gentlemen . It j»
an interesting occasion that ha% brought u» together today. We are met to
unveil to the view of tho»e present, and to the view of all person* who may
in the future come this way, a Monument recently erected to mark the burial
place of a woman who»e history i» peculiarly without a full parallel in the
annals of mankind. We are here to unveil a memorial to an luMuiic event
which occurred in the earlier and ir>ing lime* of our country ; an event which
will ever remain in history as one of the most remarkable of captivities, and
as embracing the pathetic sentiment attending a childhood and long-lile
perversion from civilization.
One hundred and t\%ent> -se\en years ago last Match, in Warwick, on the
western shore of Narragansei Bay, Rhode Island, there wat born a girl, the
third daughter and teventh child of thrifty parent*. Hie family was becom-
ing large, the farm wan small, the soil thf ' the winin*
were long and severe. Reports had l>een .>>>..!.. 1' . Ivania tl»j!
the conditions lor a gtunl home with attendant prosperity were more favorable
there. This, al^o. was the country of William Heiin, a prominent member
of the Society of Friendt of which diurch Jonathan Slocum, the father of the
girl, our subject, wa* aloo a member. William Penr ':' - ' r-' '-■ '
from the Aborigines in eastern I'enns\ Ivania, and his ,i
them had much to do in coloring the report* carried to Connecticut and Rhode
Island of the desirability of this territory then being offered to while settlers.
Jonathan Slocum had visited Pennsylvania and purchased land tliere al'
two years before the birth of thi« daughter. The year following her bm;.
in 1774, '>f removed his family thither and after two or three years occupieii
a house near the Susquehanna River in the noted Wyoming Valley, on the »itf
of the present City of Wilkes-Barre.
Thus early in life was Frances Slocum. whose mein<iiy \>c m> ncntimplv

and other — for British oppressors had already l>een active in inciting ihr

carried into the wilderness from her father's house, never to see it again
Her first journey was in the protecting arms and close to the heart of an ever
watchful and loving mother. Her subsequent wanderings were destined to
begin before she was six years of age with people of another race and color,

old age, compreliend tlieir full signiticancr or readily be brought into t>ytnpa-
thy with tliein. rtiere was, alMi, a fear lurking in her mind ihai there vsat»
a design at work to take her away from her huine, and this fear contributed
to the stolidity of her manner. After repeating to her, through an interpreter,
the story of her early childhood experience*, including lier abductiiMi, and
dwelling u|)on !>oine accidents recei\ed beture that time which reAulied in tear
titill prominent, &ume of the mernuriek of her childhuud were awakened and
she became somewhat communicative, and accorded her relative* ho*piiality;
and in turn accepted their hoi>piialiiy at their hotel in Peru.
It was not with altogether joyous hearts that the brothers and sister started
on their return journe\ home. Their long lost sister had indeed l>een found.
She was yet alive, but khe wak a kisier only in name. In all outward res)>ecis
she had become of another race and tongue, void of the cuhure, laaiet and
ways of her white relatives. That she \s as \et alixe was to ' ' it the grat-
ifying knoss ledge that she had not suffered the pangs of a 1. c death; and
there was also somexshat of cheer on their way in the knowledge that she was
content, and in the peaceful en}u\ment of an abundance of supplies for her
physical necessities, and without danger of future want.
Two \ears later, in Septeml>er, 1859, her brother Joseph of NVilkes-Baiie
again visited her here. This time he was acxompanied b> his eldest and
youngest daughters, and it is from their eicelleni journal* thai we are indebted
for many of the particulars in the authentic Mory of thi« remarkable captivity.
They were received with a greater defjree of frieiidls feeling than on the for-
mer vi>ii, but, iti all material respects, with like result.
I'he principal facts in the history of this eviraordinar> case have been em-
bodied ill many publications, and have been known to many of you frotn >our
early childhood days; and tome residents of this vicinity, now present, saw
thi> "white captive w«»man' during the later \<----- -■• her life, and had per»onaI
kiutwledge of her strong and wttrthy chai.i > « as well as of the hii;ti
esteem in which she was held by all her worthy neighbors of both racc-
It is both ititeresting and profitable to consider the origin of the character-
istics that could thus win and hold such geiteral respect uttder most unfavor-
able conditions. The parentage of Frances Slocum was favorable for children
nf healthy boilies and sound minds; children who needed but the environment
of a good home circle to develop strong and worthy memlters of civiliied
siKiety, as her brothers and sisters grew to be. For a period of one hundred
and seventeen years previous to the birth of Frances Slocum her parent* and
forebears were members — among the first in America — of the Sticiet) of
Friends commonly known as Quakers; a Society which ha* always stood for
uprightness of character and justice to all mankind. The good effects of the
teachinjis of this Society ha\e generalK been e\ ideiit in the children of succeed-
ing generations even when widely separated by distance and generation from
contact with the Society, and after their athliaiion with other communions.
This perpetuation is doubtless largely due to the direct influence af parent on
child during the early educational period, or the more plastic age.
But the person our subject totlav, Frances Sl«»cum. was earl\, and ruthle»»ly.

2l8 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA
for those years of war with the American Colonisits were the most trying yean
ever experienced by the Aborigines.
She had grown to mature stature and \ears before these severe conditions
ceased or were materially ameliorated. She had been married to a member of
the tribe of her captors but did not have a peaceful home; and she was soon
separated from him by the result of war. The removal weMward and the rap-
idly changing fortunes and places of savage warfare, and the combinings of
tribes, brought about her adoption into the Miami tribe.
It was not until the Treaty of tireenville, Ohio, August 5, 1795, about
seventeen years after her abduction, that some cessation of ho»tilities came to
bless the increasing Colonists as well as the rapidly declining race \sith which
she had had a forced and tempestuous lot. Following this I'rcaty a brief era
of some happineNs opened to her. She was happily married to She-po-con-ah,
a Miami chief. But the re*tless nature of these people of the forest* was con-
tinually fomented by the French and the British, and the hopes of peace and
tran(|uiliiy raised by the Treaty of (ireenvitle were n<K to be fullv realized
for a furtlier period of twenty >ear».
French people had often traveled along the (iieat Lakes and along the Mau-
mee and Wabash rivers fur over one hundred years previous to (his Treat)
and had trading posts at intervals along this route. The Briii»h, the heredi-
tary enemies of the French, nominally »uccee»led the French in authurit\ b\
Treaty in 1763 in this Northwest Territorw The^e peoples here had, on the
surface, smoothed their quarrels and each was yet couning the friendship ot
the .\burigines, as before from mercenary- motives, boih of them for the con-
tinued supply to the Aborigines oi brand), rum and the mo»i o>inni
chandi>e, in exchange for their pelirie*, which trade had l»een \er\ j
to the Furopeans. The Britislt. in addition, desired the alliance of the Abor-
igine warriors against the Colonists.
The darkest pages in the history ot the i rrndi, tin(i»h, and ilie Al
in America, are those describing the habituation of the latter to the u»t . ; ...
toxicating beverages, and their incitings to shed blood of American Col«»nist»,
by the former. The CJovernment of the I'nited States thus received an evil
heritage, and one from which it has not yet fully recovered. Fhese iniquitous
incitings of the Aborigines to violence again^t the Colonists began before thr
Declaration of Independence; and they did not cease with the clcM.e of the
Revolutionary War. They were continued in this Northwest Terriiorv-, alonj:
these river thoroughfares, until the close of the War of 1812, and until there
was a sufficient force of I'nited Staie> tr<mp» il • it this Territory to »u(
cessfully enforce peace. It was not until after i... i ..jty of CJhent. Decetnbc:
24th, 1814, closing the second war with (Jreat Britain, that peace with the
Aborigine tribes in the^e valleys became a«'Sured.
It was not until this time — at near the age of forty-two years, and after hav-
ing passed thirty-six years in captivity — that a fixed abode ar ' ■ •-Thing of
the arts of peace began to satisfy Frances Slocum's natural , , ». Soon
after this time her wanderings ceased with her removal with her husband

white children abducted by them soon died from ^hock, exposure or disease.
This Captive survived all dangers; and there emanated from her throughout
her long life, a >ubtilc influence which worked to the control of those of the
ilitferem tribes with which she lived for her protection and care; and this
influence also worked directly on her captors for her secretion by them to pre-
vent her being discovered by those of her race, and to prevent her being sur-
rendered to tlieni. What was this subtile influence? WheiK-e came it ? What
its source but her strong, unsinuthered hcreditar\, psychic nature? Was her
life in its savage, and later barbarous, enviruninent governed bv more heredi-
tary influences than it would have been had she had a civilized environment
not in full harmony with her heredity? Probably to, for a les* pronounced
environment ma\ be stronger in its results than heredity. rho>e persons of
her race who knew her in her later life have told us that she was revered as a
queen by the members of her family and their people of the Miami tribe.
Her auburn hair and fair complexion were but faint outward expressions of
heredity compared with the ps>chic sentiment that shone through her life and
manner to a deeper and more ptiwerful and lasting ctintrol oxer those people,
rheir ileterence and considerati\e treatment of her throughout her long life
is the brightest and most creditable event in all their histor> ; and this action
by them also speaks volumes for her equability, and her power over their
vicissitudes of passion. Her full influence over the Miami people will never
be knuvxn. Kut the stur\ of her great and benign influence is »u(hcieiitl\ full
to give us a rightful inference that this influence was successfully exerted to
the inollitication of their asperities, as we know them to have been mollified
durini; the time of her adult years; and we believe her influence would have
been far greater for gmwl but for the man> temptations to strong drink per-
sistingly and clandestinely held before these people by European, and Amer-
ican, dealers in strong drink, the enemies of civilization.
We are now assembled where we can overlook the region «here thi»*e once
numerous anil p<»wer»ul Aborigines, the Miamis. had their last actual tribal
existence. When first known to Kuropeans the\ dominated an evtensive dcMnam,
and could even withstand the Five Nations of Iroquois of the East. When
fulK conquered the third time by the Inited States early in the nineteenth
century, their oon<|uerors settled them on a large Reservation which was later
reduced to " The Residue of the Big Reserve" which embraced the region
hereabout. November 28, 1840. the tribe relinquished it all excepting this and
a few other tracts, for a Reservation beyond the Mississippi Rivet
This is a pleasant region. There i* enough of height and vale; enough of
precipitous clifl^ and of low and gently sloping banks to the Mississinewa
River which flows with measur.ible depths at our feet, to endear this rtfpon
to everyone who loves the open air. Clothed with large forest growth*, well
intersperst with smaller trees and vines bearing edible nut*, fruits and l^erries
in abundance, as was this region when occupied by the Miami tribe, it was
an ideal place to them; and it appear* to us todav an ideal place for this
commemorative meeting. As the generations, and the crnturie*. come and go.

The life of Frances Slocmn, so far as we have l>ecn able to gather its his-
tory, was in consonance with the law of this civilization. So far as heredity
could iuHuence her life, it was like unto that of her ancestors — plain in out-
ward display, free from enervating habits, peaceful within itself, patient in
doing her duty according to the l>est of her knowledge. Tliis Monument ha>
been erected by a few persons to perpetuate the story of the happy triuinpli>
of her strong hereditary nature throughout a long life and under the iikim
unfavorable conditions. May it stand through future ages as a memento to
emphasize the great value to every one of a pure and vigorous psychic and
physical heritage.*

220 THH SLOCUMS OF AMERICA
Defiance, Ohio, May 22ad, 1900.
To THE Members ok the Frances Slocum Monumekt Committee.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
No member of the Committee who was I>re^en^ need l>e told ut the happy
realization of the mo!>t sanguine expectations at Ke>er\e, Indiana, May 17.
To those Members who could not be present to share in the pleasures of thi^
most enjoyable Kathering I will report in brief, that the weather was mor!
favorable; that tiie States of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, (>li;i,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois, were well represented
in the attendance, while the good citi/ens of Indiana swarmed by ihousand>
The lowest estimate of the number of persons in attendance was 3,000; whilr
others placed the number at 4, 5, 6, and even as high as 10,000. The e»
pression "tiie attendance, the ' .Monument, the exercises, and the beaui\ of thr
country far exceed expectations" was heard ai every turn. It was unain
mously voted to meet again at the call of the Committee.
Kighi Members of the Committee were present. Letters expressing the re
grets of three absent ones were presented by the Secretary. It was decided
to continue the Committee for the pur|>o»e of protecting the cemetery and
placing it in charge of the local authorities having control of burial place^
and for other commemorative work that might be f
I'he receipts for the .Monument h und, which si H"
of the adjournment of the Committee at Reserve, were brought up to a small
surplus at the evening meeting in Peru. The f(dlowing statement shows the
receipts and expenditures in brief, taken from the report at Reserve in detail
accompanied b\ vouchers ; —
Total receipts from forty-three perstms, $668.10.
Total disbursements, $664.26, viz: —
Paid Manufacturers for Wrought Iron ii.m, >-y, iaj; paid Judson C
Bond\ Carting Fence to Cemetery, $10.00; paid F. R. Lambert for Setting
Fence, Carting and Setting .Monument, $30.00; paid Contract Price for M •
umeni, $260.00; Sundry Fx|'cnditurcs of Secretarv, $3](.i6; Sundry Expt:.
ditures of James F. Stuiesman, $21.10; Sundry Expenditure* of Treasurer
$10.00; leaving balance in hand, $3.84.
The contract prices of Motunnent and Fence were very low, the agent for
the former accepting no commission on the sale, and the latter was bo
directly from the manufacturers, Fhe Champion Iron Co. of Kenton, » ■
at the former low price <if iron. Fhis, and the gratuitous work of the t.
mittee's Secretary and Treasurer, and the Cu- man at Peru, gives i.
an investment at Reserve of over one thousan . .. .a:s in value.
The enormous pressure from great masses of humanity hanging on the ne\%
fence 'Fhursda\, re-ulted in breaking ■ -r and in making other rr
necessar\. I'he great strength of the - attested bv the comparai
slight damage it received by such treatment.
We owe a debt of gratitude to the newspapers everx where for the full and
pleasant manner in which the\ ha\e treated the story of Frances Slocum, and
the designs of this Committee from beginning to the present time. From their

Another tablet, 25 x 18 inches in size, was placed on the Public
School buildintj upposit the place of capture. It reads as follows:
Frances Sloclm M.\-cos-a-<jl'ah was C^ptikeo Nea» This Spot bv [
Delaware Indians | November a, 177*.
In a long notice of these tablets, and of the person they conimeiiK)-
rate, the leading newspaper of Wilkes- Barre stated that " the stealing
of the child and the search for her which lasted for half a centur\
form the most interesting romance, and next to the Wyoming massacre
the historic event, of the \V)X)ming \'alle\."
R. Nelson Uenriett, niember of the Council of the City of Wilkes-
Barre, originated a Park Commission for this cit> ; and to torward
the movement his father sent the following communication to its
members, viz:
\Vilkc»-Bjrrc, April i;, 1^07.
Messrs. Irviii): A. Sirari)», Aniliuiiy L. Williaint, Jjiiir* M. Bulaiid, William
S. Cioff and Daniel F. C'armody. \Villr»-Harrc Park t'omini»»ion.
CJentlcincn: —
For some time 1 liuxr l>cru urcailv iiilrrr»lcd in Park* and Pla>Kroiind»
for in> naiivr placr.
In the mure ihicklx puriiont of our city iherr is a great need of Pla> ground*
fur the children. I wish to do sumeihing to lir ' 1 stand
ready to deed to the city of NVilLes-Barre, lor Pari 1 ... , d purpu»r»,
the free and uninterrupted use and absolute control of the surface of the lo«,
now owned h> ine, at the northea»t corner of North Pennsylvania avenue and
Scott streets, in the Si«teenth ward of the said city, if the same shall mert
with \our approval.
The lot i> about three hundred feet on Penimlvania avenue and one hun-
dred and thirty-seven feet on Scott street. This gift it made on conditioa
that il>e said premises ^hall l>e used only for Park and Pla> ground purposes
and >l>all at all times hereafter l>e and rentain open and uno»»structed. and
that the Chy of Wilkes-Barre shall continue it* Park t'ommi»»ion and continue
to make sufhcient appropriations of money for the pr<»{icr e<;iiipment and main-
tenance of the Play C>round.
As this lot came to me from the Hon. Jo»eph Slocuin, my grandfather, and
is alnu>st the identical spot where Frances Slocum. my great-aunt, was cap-
tured by the Indians, Noveml>er 2. 1778, when five years of age. and whose
capture and subsequent diocover) was one of the most tragic events in the
early history of Wyoming Valley. I desire that this Play Grtnind be called
the 'Frances Slocum Play Ciround' as a memorial to her.
Very truly yours,

John Francis^ Slocum {Benjamin T./ Abel/ Samuel/ Samuel/
Ebenezer/ Giles/ Anthony/) was born 23 April, 1821, in Pawtuxet,
Providence County, Rhode Island. He was educated in and near his
native town, and early went to work in a cotton cloth mill. He
changed from one mill to another, and was advanced until he became
superintendent. After several years he resigned this position, and
entered the wholesale grocery business in Providence as junior partner
in the firm of Whitford and Slocum. Feeling an attraction to the
west, he sold his interest in Providence and, in 1863, moved his
family to Chicago, 111. Here he entered the wholesale grocery busi-
ness but soon changed to the operation of a planing mill, w^hich was
destroyed by fire about 1866. Lacking capital with which to start
business again, he secured position of traveling salesman for a young
and striving wholesale grocery firm, and had the pleasure of seeing
the business increase to large returns. He showed marked ability as a
salesman, was energetic, and punctual in meeting every engagment.
He was kind hearted, always willing to do what he could to help
others out of trouble, and preferred to suffer loss rather than go to
law. These qualities won for him the designations of 'a grand man ;
one of nature's noblemen.' He was very fond of his family, and
passed all possible time at home, his only social and fraternal mem-
berships being with his home, and church. An earnest petition in his
prayers was that he might be spared a lingering illness before the^
close of life. This petition was granted. He retired for the night

Nathaniel Mann, husband of Sally Frances Slocum, for sixty
years one of the best-known residents of Saratoga County, New York,
was born on his Milton Hill Farm December 29, 1819. He was
son of Jeremiah Mann of Milton Township and Rebecca Tallmadge
of Schaghticoke, Rensselaer County, New York. His education was.
begun in the schools of his native town, continued in those of Schagh-
ticoke and completed at the Hotchkiss Academy at Lenox, ^Vlassa-
chusetts. He married February 24, 1841 at the Mann home-stead
Sally Frances" Slocum daughter of Jeremiah Slocum and Anna Bryan.
AND THEIR ALLIANCES 315
He was a young man just nineteen years of age, when he found
himself responsible for the management of a large farm. He soon
became an enthusiastic farmer and took great pride in his vocation.
He was alert to acquire what others knew and willing to impart
what in any way he had learned. The farm of his life-long residence
had been occupied by his father and grandfather. All the fruits of
his labor were devoted to. its improvement. He built his house of
stone and walled his fields with boulders. His farm buildings were
extensive and admirabl) arranged, and his orchard was of a thousand
trees.
He had marked mechanical and engineering aptitude, and he was
prompt in applying them as a progressive farmer. Agricultural ma-
chinery was largely introduced during the period of his active life.
No one recognized sooner than he what it meant to the farmer. He
brought the first horse-rake into the town of Milton, and the* first
mowing machine in Saratoga County was owned by him, and his
neighbor George B. Powell and used on their farms.
He was a witness to the dawning of the two definitive factors of
the last century, public transportation and transmission. As a boy he
had the care of the horse that was sold off his father's farm to draw
the first rail-way passenger car in New York State on its initial trip.
He delivered from his father's farm ties for the construction of both
the Albany and Schenectady and the Rensselaer and Saratoga rail-
roads; the one the first link in the great trans-continental rail-wa\
lines, and the other, the first section of the present international route
that unites the St. Lawrence, the Hudson and the Susquehanna. In
his young manhood, he loaded cars with his farm produce at Ballston
and drew them on the rail-road to Troy Avith his own horses, a method
of railroading now almost forgotten. From these early beginnings,
he saw the enormous transportation systems develop from the mere
carr}ang of freight to the public electric transmission of ne\\^ and
thought and finally of the human voice.
He was a projector of the Saratoga County Agricultural Society,
for two years its President and for fifty-nine years a manager. For
a long time he served as vestryman of Christ Episcopal Church, Ball-
ston Spa, and was a member of the committee that erected the present
edifice. He was Loan Commissioner of the United States deposit
fund in Saratoga County for a term. He took great interest in
public affairs and was a Whig or Republican all his life.
^l5 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA
Socially, he was hospitable, of a genial and humorous temperament,
fond of entertaining by graphic and apt anecdote and illustration. Mr.
Mann was always fond of young people, and they delighted in his
society. His attractiveness extended even to the animals that sur-
rounded him. He ruled them by kindness, and he could approach in
the field and halter even his colts without exciting any effort to escape.
He was never long happy away from his home. His genial nature
showed at its best in the family circle, and he exerted himself as cheer-
fully to be entertaining when alone with a member of his immediate
family, as if his parlors were filled as they often were, with visiting
relatives or friends. His happiness there was contagious. To the time
of his death, which occurred on his farm August 26, 1900, the vigor
of his mind and the warmth of his heart made venerable age inviting
and interesting. He is buried at the ancient Cemetery at Milton
Hill.
His wife Sally Frances'' Slocum Mann, grandniece and namesake
of the celebrated Indian captive Frances Slocum, was born in the
Township of Saratoga, near Schuylerville, New York, 23 February,
1819.
She passed her childhood in her pleasant country home and
attended the neighborhood school. At thirteen years of age, she lost
her father, and the following year her mother passed away. The
home was sold, and she with her only sister Elizabeth Ann resided
for a time with their brother William Ross Slocum at Fort Miller,
New York. While living there, her sister, who was her senior by
several years, and who had assumed a motherly care of her, was
stricken with a fatal disease and died 18 February, 183b. Elizabeth's
tender guidance of her young sister had been so devoted and parental
that her death might almost be termed a third orphaning of Frances.
Jeremiah Mann of Milton Hill Farm, Saratoga County, having
been appointed her legal guardian, she was taken into his home and
became a member of his family. She had attended the 'Pioneer
School' under the charge of Mr. Ballard in the town of Bennington
Centre, Vermont, for two years. Later she was a pupil for one year
at Miss Sheldon's Seminary at Utica, New York. In the fall of 1837
she entered the Troy Female Seminary of which Mrs. Emma Willard
was still Principal. At the end of one year she was graduated from
that school and thus completed her general education.
AND THEIR ALLIANCES 31/
While she was yet a member of his family, her guardian died
3 January, 1839. She, however, continued to make her home with
his widow and children. In the mean time, the youngest son of the
family, Nathaniel Mann, had become by purchase the sole owner of
the homestead property; and he soon won Sally Frances Slocum to
share it with him. They were married there 24 February, 1841. by
Rev. Dr. Deodatus Babcock, and she thus in very early life became
mistress of a large farm with its responsibilities as well as a prominent
social factor in a long-settled and cultivated neighborhood.
Mr. Mann's grandfather, Joel Mann had come to this farm from
Hebron, Connecticut in 1793. The buildings on it most of which
had survived the Revolution, had witnessed the ebb and How of Pa-
triots and Tories, and Indians raiding and pursuing the early settlers
along the natural highway from Canada. They had become unsuit-
able. Nathaniel Mann changed the location of some and demolished
and replaced others. The old Connecticut double house was taken
down, and a stone residence built upon its site. The fields were re-
arranged and walled with stone. In all these enterprises, his young
wife encouraged and assisted him. Her share in the work was as
important and exhausting as his. At that time, a considerable part of
the products of the farm, which included, butter and cheese in large
quantities, came under her supervision; and, while the duties of a
farmer's wife were then far more exacting than now. she assumed
the household care of a multitude of laborers and mechanics in addi-
tion to the regular farm hands. This transformation continued for
more than ten years, and the burdens and labors of each supplemented
the other with a like capacity and enthusiasm. During this same
period a little family of children was gathered about them, viz:
44.9A1. i. Anna Mann, born 17 February, 1842.
449A2. ii. Mercy Plum Mann, b. 23 Dec, 1843; m. John H. Peck.
449A3. iii. Eliza Powell Mann, born 11 October, 1845.
449A4. iv. Jereml\h Slocum Mann, b. 24 Oct., 1847; d. 31 Mcli., 1906.
449A5. vi. Mary Willard Mann, born 10 Sep., 1854; d. 2 December, 1866.
Mrs. Mann, throughout these years of great exertion and responsi-
bility, had the assistance of a remarkable colored woman known as
Deyann. She had been brought to the farm a slave five years of
age in 1804 purchased in a neighboring town by Mr. Mann's grand-
father. Although under no restrain, she never was off the farm for a
night during her life there. She was without education but naturally
of strong, good sense, and commanding strength of mind. She was
3i8 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA
a large woman physically ; and, though in some ways an added care,
Avas on the whole a most efficient helper and able executive of the
clear and discerning judgment of her mistress. Everj'one for miles
about knew and respected her. She survived Mrs. Mann ten years
and died on the farm i6 January, 1877 at the age of seventy-eight
}-ears. Her long life had been spent in serving four generations of
the family.
Mrs Mann's later years were more quiet and domestic. She was
as unselfish and conscientious and patient and tender a mother of her
children as she had always been a helpmate to her husband. Her
foresight and thoughtfulness were conspicuous, especially in the dl-
nesses and waywardness of children. Their nurture extended to their
religious life and to the little suggestions and corrections that would
tend to their social acceptance.. She was a member of Christ Church,
Ballston Spa.
Throughout her married life even in the midst of laborious and
absorbing cares, generous hospitality was the marked characteristic at
the Milton Hill Farm. It was the ancestral family centre, it was the
point towards which kinship drew relatives of several genrrations,
attracted by an assured welcome. Many met there in close fellow-
ship who had no other goal in common.
\lrs Mann's tastes and loves and life chiefly blessed her home and
bej^ond its confines extended mostly to kindred and cultivated neigh-
bors. She was an educated, domestic gentlewoman. She died in her
forty-eighth year, 24 January, 1867, leaving a singularly enduring
impress upon the memories of those who knew her best and loved her
most. She is buried in the Cemetery at Milton Hill.*

AxNA Mann, eldest child of Nathaniel and Sally Frances (Slo-
CLim) Mann, was born at Milton Hill Farm 17 February, 1842.
Her early education was acquired in a school only a few rods from
her home, and she knew socially and quite intimately, for a child,
most of the teachers employed there. In this way she learned much
more than was taught. For one year, 1 860-1 861, she attended the
famous school at Troy founded by Mrs. Emma Willard, the same
from which her mother was graduated. Her fidelity to duty, her
conscientious work, her exemplary conduct and her appreciation of
the efforts of her teachers in her behalf won for her their approbation
and admiration throughout her school life. While yet a young
woman, she became a member of Christ Church, Ballston Spa. She
left home in the spring of 1863 and spent one year in visiting some of
the cities and larger towns of IVIichigan, Ohio and western New-
York. She has always resided in her present home. She has never
acquired the city habit. The rural landscape, the farm sounds, but
more than all the delicate beauty of wild and cultivated flowers are
necessary parts of her ideal home. The delights of a visit in her
garden or a ramble through an orchard or a grove are not surpassed
to her taste by the sights from any urban sidewalk or the conventional
landscape of a park. Her infrequent visits to the town ali\)rd chiefly
added charm to the countryside. But she is no recluse. She is a
natural housewife and hostess, so that the Mann homestead continues
to be the centre of hospitality and good cheer, as in former days. Her
soul, manifested in the home, will long survive her life. It is im-
possible to describe its ministry. It has been an impersonation of
Christian faithfulness unobtrusively blessing every member of the
household. Her father and mother, her sisters and brother, her
nephews grown to manhood under her wise and tender counsel, have
felt the stay and strength of womanly devotion. Whether for them
life were receding or its ambition had just been kindled, they have all
known in her the power of hope, faith and love.

Mercy Plum Mann, second daughter of Nathaniel and Sally
Frances (Slocum) Mann, was born at Milton Hill Farm 23 Decem-
ber, 1843. She entered the neighborhood school at the early age of
three years, accompanying thither her elder sister Anna. Her attend-
320 THE SLOCLMS OF AMERICA
ance there during a very long period continued the most regular of
that of any pupil. She remained at this school under the tutelage
of very competent teachers for upAvards of fifteen years. She had al-
ways evinced aptitude and ambition for teaching, and, in the spjing
of 1862 at the beginning of the term succeeding that in which she
had concluded her course as a pupil, she was placed by the trustee^
at the head of the school. Most of the attendants were the same a-
those w ith whom she had been recently associated. Some tti them
were older than she, but her success has ever since been a tradition ol
the neighborhood. Later her pupils became widely scattered, some
of them entering the armies of the civil war. As from time to time
they have returned to re-visit the scenes of their youth, the one person
aK\:iys inquired for has been the former associate of the school desk>
who became their most inspiring teacher. Miss Mann remained at
the head of the school for only a year anil a half; and then, in Sep-
tember 1803, she left home to pursue a course of higher education
at the well-known Willard school at Troy, New ^'ork, where her
mother had completed her education. She was graduated there in
June 18O5 after two years of most assiduous study. In the following'
year, on the occasion of a temporary vacanc> in its corps of teacher>
she was re<alled and became an instructor during a brief period.
The success of her work, however, was conspicuous ; and at the be-
ginning of the next school year September i8b6, she became a member
of tlie permanent faculty. J'his association was continued until on
rlu' retirement of Mr. and Mr>. John H. Willard in June 1872. thr
boarding department was temjxjrarily suspended. The next \eai
she taught at the well-know n da Silva Bradford school in New ^ orL
City. Before the expiration of this year, the trustees of the Troy Sem-
inary engaged her on most attractive terms to return to Troy and
assist Miss Emily T. Wilcox Principal in conducting a da\ schtxd.
From September 1873 until June 1883 this arrangement continued
in connection with other teachers. Her work in the classroom was
largely among the younger children, training and fitting them to ad
vance rapidh to the honors of the school. Her conspicuous success
attracted pupils to the school. She was a natural teacher, happ\ in
her Avork and resourceful in securing application and awakening en-
thusiasm. She was just and patient and able to impress those undei
her care with a sense of her accuracy of information and her imfailinp
interest in them. She won their confidence and afifection. and man\
AND THEIR ALLIANCES 321
of thcin were assiduous to show their love as well by progress in their
lusswork as by the chilillike and devoted attentions. Her class rooms
were vibrant with cheerful, studious industry. When she finally re-
tired from the school in June 1883 full of health, enthusiasm and
success, it closed a period extending back to her earliest childhood
during which there had been but few weeks, when she had not da\
by day attended school xs the great interest of her life. Hw work laid
down had brought her many joys and triumphs.
The long summer vacations had been spent, as far as possible, in
.Kcjuiring the cultivation and experience of travel. They were seldom
passed entirely at home, and sometimes were occupied in making ex-
tended journeys. She had visited the Adirondack Wilderness, all the
( Jreat Lakes, many of the then western States, Canada and the St.
Lawrence, and the summer of 1882 was entirely given to a trip
abroad that included Great Britain and the chief cities, rivers, lakes
and mountains of \ve>tern Kurope.
At the homestead farm in the late summer of 1 883 August 7th
she was married by the Rev. Dr. Walter Delafield to Hon. John
Hudson l*rck, I.I I)., a practicing lawyer of Troy, New \'ork.
He has since continued his professional work without interruption,
but has ff)und time to administer acceptably many important trusts;
notably, he was for upwards of twelve years President of the Rensse-
laer Polytechnic Institute. This latter position afforded to his wife,
in meeting and entertaining the students, coofitiinl oppnrtiiniT\ tor
the exercise of her experience and aptitudes.
Her most interested public efforts since her marriage have been
associated with missionary and benevolent work. Her power of or-
ganization. industPk' and engaging enthusiasm had been trained to
combine with them unusual accuracy and attention to detail. Re-
sponsible positions sf)ught her. She h.xs met their obligations with
unvarying success and so administered them that she has won to her-
self the affectionate regard of a wide circle of efficient Christian peo-
ple. She has been a member of St. John's (Episcopal) Church, Troy
since ifihh. In connection with this church she was identified with
the Ministers' Aiil and Parish Kmployment Society serving as Second
Directress, Secretary and Treasurer. For seventeen years she was
President of the Troy Auxiliary American McAll Association. She
was a member of the State Aid Charity Board of Rensselaer County.
New York, for a long time.
(22)
322 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA
During twenty-seven years she has been a member of the American
Association for the Advancement of Science, and attended several of
its annual meetings. Through the services of her great grandfather
Giles Slocum as a soldier in the Revolutionary War, she has been
admitted into the Philip Schuyler Chapter of the Daughters of the
American Revolution. She is an interested member of the Troy
Chapter of the National Indian Association. For several years she
was a Vice President of the Emma Willard Association. Mrs. Peck
has contributed to the press some interesting papers on the school life
at Troy Seminary and reminiscences of Mrs. Emma Willard,
Indeed, although this brief notice pictures her rather as a person of
affairs engaged in absorbing activities, her strength has been in con-
siderate gentleness, and her heart and manner still have the wnnning i
freshness of youth, no where more manifest than in the home, where
she presides.
Her husband, Hon. John Hudson Peck, LL.D., of Troy, New
York, counsellor-at-law was born at the city of Hudson, New York,
on the 7 February, 1838. He is the eldest son of the late Hon. Darius
Peck (born 1802, died 1879) a prominent and influential citizen and
thorough lawyer, who was for many years County Judge of Columbia
County,. New York. His mother was Harriet M. Hudson (born
1813, died 1863) youngest daughter of Horace Hudson and Sarah
Robinson. Mr. Peck is descended on his father's side from the early
Puritan settlers of New England. William Peck, his earliest pro-
genitor in America, emigrated to this country with his wife and son
Jeremiah in the ship Hector with the company of Governor Eaton and
the Rev. John Davenport, and he was one of the founders, of the
colony of New Haven in 1638. John Hudson Peck's natal year,
therefore, marked the completion of two full centuries since his earl-
iest" American ancestor came to this country.
Mr. Peck was prepared for college under the able instruction of
Mr. Isaac F. Bragg and the Rev. Elbridge Bradbury at the Hudson
Classical Institute. He was graduated from Hamilton College at
Clinton, New York, of which seat of learning his father was likewise
an alumnus, with class of 1859. He was member of the Chi Psi
fraternity, and, on graduation was elected into the Phi Beta Kappa.
He chose the law for his profession and studied at Troy, New York
under the direction of the Hon. Cornelius Tracy and the Hon. Jere-
miah Romevn, and he was admitted to the bar at Albany in December
AND THEIR ALLIANCES 323
1 86 1. Very soon afterwards he entered Into a law partnership with
Mr. Romeyn, which continued until April 1867. At that time he,
with his former instructor, Mr. Tracy, formed the very successful
law firm of Tracy and Peck, which was only terminated by the final
illness of the senior member. Mr. Peck has been intrusted with the
legal business of the Troy and Boston Railroad Company, the Troy
Union Railroad Company, the Troy Savings Bank and with other
business and financial corporations. (He has also been legal adviser
in the administration of many^ private trusts and large estates. By
his fellow citizens and professional colleagues he is regarded as an
able, successful lawyer, thorough in application, assiduous in caring
for the interests of his clients and entirely honorable in his methods.
Outside of his profession Mr. Peck has identified himself with edu-
cational interests. He became a trustee of the Troy Female Seminary
in 1883. In May 1888 he was elected President ;of the Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute, the pioneer school of civil engineering as well
as the most celebrated in this country. On account of increased de-
mands upon his time in his profession, he retired from the presidency
of the Institute in 1901.
In public alifairs Mr. Peck has manifested an enterprising spirit.
On all the view^s that divide men into parties his interest is large and
his appreciation keen. Throughout his life he has been a convinced
and consistent Democrat of the old school. He was elected a member
from Rensselaer County of the Constitutional Convention of the
State of New York of 1894. He served on two important committees
on The Legislature and Education. He has taken an active part in
the erection of many of the finest buildings in Troy. He was chair-
man of the commission that erected the new^ granite Court house for
the County of Rensselaer, one of four Trustees appointed by Mrs.
Howard Hart to erect a marble fire-proof building for the Troy Pub-
lic Library as a memorial to her husband. He also served on commit-
tees for the erection of the Alumni Building of the Rensselaer Poly-
technic Institute and Ganley Memorial Hall, Russell Sage Hall, and
Anna M. Plum Memorial of the Troy Female Seminary (Emma
Willard School).
Mr. Peck is a member of the Society of Colonial Wars, through
the services of John Peck, of the third generation in the French and
Indian War. He Is also a son of the Revolution through the partici-
pation of the same ancestor as a soldier in the Revolutionary War and
324 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA
also his great grandfather Israel Farris. He is a member of St. John's
Episcopal Church, Troy, and a Trustee of the Diocese of Albany.
He is a Trustee and Charter member of the American Scenic and
Historic Preservation Society and also a member of the National Arts
Club of New York City and the New York State Bar Association.
In the City of Troy he is a member of the Chamber of Commerce
and of the Troy Club. He has written voluminously for the news-
paper press and has delivered many addresses. His manner of com-
position is clear, conservative, instructive and logical. Moreover his
writings arc characterized by dignity and stamped by culture. He
was orator of the Society of the Alumni of Hamilton College at the
Commencement in 1889. His discourse was spoken of by the Utica
Herald as one of the ablest and most carefully prepared ever deliv-
ered before tiie association, characterized by scholarly thought and
fine rhetoric. The degree of LL.U. was conferred upon him on
this occasion. Mr. and Mrs. Peck have no children.

Eliza Powell Mann, third daughter of Nathaniel and Sally
Frances Slocum Mann, was born at Milton Hill Farm October 11,
1845. Her primary education was had at the Public School on Mil-
ton Hill, and, in those early days, she gave evidence of the sturdy,
steady strength of character, which has marked her life. Her educa-
tion was completed at the Sans Souci Seminary, conducted by the
Rev. Dean Smith at the neighboring V^illage of Ballston Spa. After
three years of conscientious work she was graduated June i865.
While a young woman she became a member of Christ Episcopal
Church, Ballston Spa. Her residence continued with the family on
the farm for several years.
She taught at her early school during the summers of 1872. '73 and
'74. Later she spent a year and a half at the Mt. Carroll Seminary,
Mt. Carroll, Illinois, founded and conducted by her mother's cousin,
Mrs. Frances Wood Shimer. She availed herself of the opportunities
there afforded to perfect her knowledge of modern methods in teach-
ing and school administration. In September, 1883 she became a
member of the faculty of the Troy Female Seminary, from which her
mother had been graduated nearly half a century before.
At the end of four years, in response to an urgent call from home,
she returned to Milton, where she has since resided. Her father sur-

tastes anil aptitudes led her to iissunie those out-door duties of u
tanner's house which arc directed by his family. She took supervision
'f the poultry. She became an enthusiastic gardener. W'^etables and
^mall fruits were perfected under her care, and she kept herself well
informed of the condition anil pr<»spects of the e,Tvat orchard. She
was led to observe the more general operati«jns of farming and dairy-
ing- CJradually she became conversant ^\ith the work of different
seasons of the year and the rotations and methods by which the best
results were obtained. She was a Kood listener when farminj; topics
were discussed, and annually visited the Saratona County Fair, serv-
ing occasionally as a judi^e in the domestic department. One \ear
she received an appointment as judye in the New \'ork State Fair in
line of the domestic departments and accepted it. She also gained
much information from the papers read and iliscussed at the meetings
't the Farmer's Institute which she attended with her father for a
series of years.
l'ncon<ciously and very gradually she acquired a knowledge of agri-
cultural pursuits that for a woman was very unusual; and. although
without practical experience, she had a va^^t amount of practical in-
formation. ( )n the decease of her brother Jeremiah SlfKum Mann,
who had worked the farm after his father's death in 1900. she with
her sister Anna became the only members of the family residing on
the place. To the surprise of everybod>, and of no one more than
herself, sonnmhere. somehow business qualifications hail matured.
She at once in April, I'jotj. took efficii-nt direction of the affairs of
a large farm; and family, friends, neighbors and workmen recognized
hers as the controlling judgment. It is so congenial that, while the
nature of her happiness has of necessity changed, she has accepted the
larger sphere with a sense of more abounding pleasure. Her grasp
of routine and general operatiorrs is made effective by remarkable at-
tention to detail. Her studious and steady efforts combined with
natural caution and foresight are producing substantial and well
assured results, dignifving the power and emergency made manifest.

Jeremiah Sf.ocum M \\\. only son of Nathaniel and Sall\ Fran-
ces (Slocum) Mann, was born on Milton Hill Farm. October 24,
326 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA
1847, and died there in his fifty-ninth year 3 1 March, 1906. His early
school days were spent while he still lived at home at the school of
which his father was Trustee, and over which for a long series of
years, he had given most intelligent supervision. Jeremiah was yet
quite young when he was sent to a select school at Ballston Spa, the
nearest village, conducted by Rev. James Gilmour. In this school
he enjoyed the instruction of a noted teacher Neil Gilmour brother
of the Principal and afterwards Superintendent of Public Instruction
in the State of New York. Later he was placed in another school in
the same village under the charge of Charles D. Seely.
He acquired in his youth a very great fondness for reading, which,
as years passed, constantly increased. His power of concentration of
mind upon the contents of a book with which he was engaged was
unusual. He had a habit of sight reading which seemed to include
at a glance a large fraction of a page and had withal a memory of
marvelous tenacity. Reading was his favorite and almost his only
recreation. The long winters of his northern home afforded him
ample leisure for gratifying his tastes. As a result, he rapidly
became well informed on a great variety of subjects; and, before his
death, his mind was a store house of accurate and clearly appre-
hended facts. Few subjects could be broached in his presence
in any company of which lie was not well informed. Literature,
history, mechanics and applied science were favorite fields of
study. He was, nevertheless, apparently unconscious that this
facility and accuracy were in any way remarkable. If nothing
occurred to call forth his powers in company, he never obtruded
them. His conversation was never pedantic, but always inform-
ing. After he left school, he resided for more than six ^-ears in
the City of New York, and all his business hours were engaged
in acquiring mercantile methods and experience. The same
exactness of recollection of the business New Yorker of those
da)'s was ever after as vivid as of his reading, and one might
think, after a casual conversation that he was only an acute observer
of city sights and men ; that he was a man of anecdote instead of
broad and almost limitless information. The two phases of mind are
nearly allied and yet are seldom found in the same person. Fond of
social intercourse, he was a most companionable man and, after
his return to the farm, a general favorite throughout a large section
of his county. He was recognized in the community as a just, duti-
AND TULIR ALLIANCES 327
fill diligent man of high ideals, broad intelligence and unusual ca-
pacity. With a singular freedom from personal aggressiveness, he
won his way to a position of influence by quiet and sympathetic help-
fulness. Masculine in every impulse, he was peculiarly sensitive to the
trials and sorrows of others. The thought of suffering whether of
man or beast distressed him, but he stood read\ with great resources
to aid those whose pain he partly shared. He was public spirited
and, without rancor or bitterness, took a brave and patriotic part in
political contests. F^rom the time of his father's death in 1900 he was
an official of the Agricultural Society of his county, and he grudged
neither work nor any effort in its behalf. He loved the land and was
devoted to country life. He was fond of animals, and they loved him.
He revelled in rural laiuUcape and knew every fine view within a
Jay's journey from his home.
Responding, not very reluctantly, to a call to stand by his father's
side during his declining \ears, he returned to the farm in the spring
of 1872 influenced doubtless in some degree by his prevailing love of
rural life, ^'ear by year gathered experience taught him that he had
made a pecuniary sacrifice but those who knew him best always
doubteil whether at heart he regretted the step. To his latest day
he was enthusiastic in his expressions of the dignity and wholesome-
ncss of life on the land. From the death of his father in August, 1900,
he became the fourth in successive generations during more than a
hundred years to work the Milton Hill Farm; and death found him
there. He is buried in the Milton Hill Cemetery.
At Milton Center, Saratoga County, New York, 5 June, 1877,
he was married to Dorcas Klla Riggs. born 31 December, 1850,
daughter of George Belden Riggs and Mary Antoinette Conklin.
They were married by Rev. Dr. Walter Delafield, rector of Christ

Mary Willard Mann, youthful in years, was far more than a
child in personality. She was born at Milton Hill Farm, lO Sep-
tember, 1854, 3'ounj2;est child of Nathaniel and Sally Frances (Slo-
cum) Mann and died there in her thirteenth year, 2 December, 1866.
During her infancy, her mother was not in good health; and, when
one year of age the care of Marv Willard was committed to her
eldest sister Anna. Thus was developed between them an absorbing
love, which combined maternal, filial and sisterly qualities. In early
youth, following in the footsteps of her sisters and brother, she at-
tended the neighboring school. She was an apt pupil, was very dili-
gent and at once gave evidence of marked ability . At the time of her
early death, she ranked as a pupil with those two years her senior. She
presented herself for membership by baptism in the Episcopal Church
at Ballston Spa several years before her death.
She was always an engaging child and at once interested every one
who met her. A child among children, she attracted them and joined
playfully in their sports. Those of mature years also found her com-
panionable, and she could successfully entertain them. The animals
of the farm, the largest as much or more than the least of them were
her friends; and, among her most delightful hours ^vere those she
spent where they were. Her fondness for spirited horses and her
fearlessness and skill in handling them early excited the pride and ad-
miration of her father. He was a noted horseman and owned fine
horses, and he would at any time during several years before her death
trust this child alone with the best of them. She was allowed to
drive young horses for miles without company- on public roads where
he would have permitted few men to take them. At such times
she had no trouble, and always received an obedience that was incredi-
ble to one who had not observed it. She became a frequent com-
panion of her father on his long drives as well as when he was occu-
pied about the farm buildings or working in his farm shop. But it
was her brother Jeremiah, seven years her senior who was her com-
rade. The relation between them was a partnership in devotion.

Ihey were each other's servants, heroes and defenders with a mutual
unquestioning faith. The greatest grief of her short life was when
he left the farm to take up mercantile pursuits in New York City.
As his vacation^ approached each day was counted. Her traits so
described may some of thmi si-em boyish to a stranger but they were
all included in a nature that was preeminently domestic and feminine,
rhtri- was nothing assertive, aggressive or arrogant in her character.
Her power on the farm was the power of gentleness, that no man
could yield. Her courage was fearlessness and her own trustfulness
breil confidence. These same qualities made her a -womanly confi-
dante and counsellor in the household and she was efficient too at
much of its work. She could relieve on occasions her mother or any
of her sisters detained from their own duties. This capable, con-
scientious, unselfish, versatile child was always contented and happy.
Her considerate sunny nature, mellowing the elements of her force-
fulness, easily won for her ardent love and admiration in the home.
With rare assurance, one may call her, this little girl, the just pride
of every member of a large household.
While this joy of living was at its height, the central life suddenly
failed. Mar\ Willard passed awa\ . During her last summer and
early autumn, she had been accustomed to take her mother, who was
alreaii\ in failing health, on frequent drives about the country. It
was her death that made the separation, but it was not for long. Her
mother followed her in a few weeks, and the old homestead was
doubly desolate. They were both laid in the Cemetery at Milton
Hill, where the family dead during more than a hundred years lie
buried.

His grandfather. Nathaniel Mann was yet living, thus three genera-
tions were making their home on the farm. This was the second
time that a grandfather, a son and a grandson of this family had
dwelt at Milton Hill Farm. During childhood Nathaniel attended
the same schf)ol near home where his father and mother had obtained
their early education. He later went to the Hallston High School
where he was graduated in June 189b. In September of the same
330 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA
year, he entered the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute at Troy, New
York, where his education was completed. He had already become a
member of the Episcopal church and shortly after entering the In-
stitute, he joined the Delta Phi College Fraternity.
He began his professional work as civil engineer with the Chicago,
North-Western Railway Coimpanj-. He continued in that employ-
ment in the middle west for three years, engaged in railway con-
struction and improvement in many States, including Illinois, Wis-
consin, Michigan, Iowa and Nebraska. He thus gained much valuable
experience and laid a foundation of practical facility in the field.
His next work, in which he is yet engaged, is with the Public Serv-
ice Corporation of New Jersey. His duties have again been in the
line of construction and his success has been evidenced by a consider-
able promotion. He resided at Newark, New Jersey, during the
early part of his employment with this company, but his home now
(1906) is at East Orange, New Jersey, 34 Linwood Place.

James Scovel' Slocum {Laton,^ IViUiam,' Jonathan.* Joseph,'^
Giles,* Samuel J^ Giles,- Anthony,^) born I2 July, 1827, on a farm
in Exeter Township, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. His mother,
Gratie (Scovel) Slocum, died 5 September, 1829, and his father died
16 January, 1833. On account of this early bereavement, he lived
many years with his uncle, Charles Fuller, who lived near the line
of Exeter and Kingston Township until 1854, then moved into
Scranton, the site of which was early known as Slocum Hollow from
its early owner and developer, Ebenezer Slocum (241) granduncle
of James. Here the subject of this sketch became prominent in
business and political circles. His business prospered, and he acquired
a rounded competence. He went with one of the emergency com-
panies against the Southern Rebellion, beside engaging two substitutes.
He was nominated as State Senator on the Republican ticket before
Luzerne County was divided, and the majority was against him. He
was one of the founders of the Lackawanna Hospital at Scranton,
and much credit was given him for his efforts in securing financial
aid for it at a critical period in its history. In iSbQ lie \\as ap-
pointed Postmaster of Scranton by President Grant, and was re-
appointed to a second term. After having served in this ofHce five
years he resigned and returned to his father's homestead in Exeter,
to reside with his brother, William Slocum (605). Here he was
active in securing the incorporation of Exeter Borough from a portion
of old Exeter Township. He was chosen the first Burgess of the
Borough, also there served several years as Justice of the Peace, and
School Director. He was a man of marked individuality. While
'eccentric' was the most common expression regarding him, the few
considerate persons admitted to his confidence spoke of him as a
cyclopedia of information and a genial conversationalist. 71ie local,
and some distant, politicians consulted him as an authority on con-
troverted questions. In religion he deferred to the belief of his
fathers — members of the Society of Friends. He built numerous
tenement houses near his home, which are known as ' Slocums Settle-
ment.' He also built here a handsome chapel at a cost of $7,000 or
more. This was placed under control of the Presbyterian Church of
West Pittston. of which his brother was at that time an official, with
the understanding that the building might be used for Christian wor-
ship by members of other denominations. He remained unmarried.

AzuBAH Minerva® Burnett {Isaac Burnett and Azubah^ Slo-
cum, Joseph,' Eleazer,^ John,^ Eleazer,*^ Eleazer,^ Giles, ^ Anthony,^)
was born 14 September, 1829, near the present Village of Northville,
Fulton County, New York. She was there married 20 May, 1852,
to Rev. William "Whitney Davenport, born 3 June, 1820, in the ad-
joining Township of Edinburg, Saratoga County. She inherited
from her mother, a saintly woman, good qualities of mind and heart.
She made the best use of her educational advantages in the Public
Schools, and attended the State Normal School at Albany. She also
had experience as a teacher, all of which, with her good judgment,
made her a valuable helpmate.
Mr. Davenport, like this wife, was of sterling English blood, son
of Thomas and his wife. Miss Higley, who moved from Colerain,
Massachusetts, or Vermont, and were pioneer settlers near the Fulton-
Saratoga line. His New England lineage is not before the writer.
William W. first married Abigail Noyes, and moved to Tracy Creek,
Broome Countj^ New York. To them were born six children, only
two of whom survived infancy, viz. : Delos Thomas Davenport,
now, 1907, of Los Angeles, California, and Sophronia Eliza Moulton,
of Union, Broome Co., N. Y. William was a typical American
Pioneer; ready and resourceful to clear the land and cultivate it,
350 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA
he could also readily adapt his large fund of ingenuity to the build-
ing of a house, to the repairing of harness for his horses, or the shoes
for his family; could mend, or even make any farm implement, run
a sawing mill, graft fruit trees, extract teeth for his neighbors, and
so on through and for all of the varied pioneer wants and lack of
supplies, or money for their purchase. As was then often the case,
he became possessed of a copy of Materia Medica and Faintly Physi-
cian, and the numbered compounds of herbs, prepared by Samuel
Thomson, the originator of the ' Thomsonian System of Medicine,'
which was some years later succeeded by 'Electicism.' His active
spirit could not rest here. He became a Pillar of 'The Reformed
Methodist Church.' He would preach and continue his manual la-
bor during the week. He was for some time a Visiting Elder, an
office similar to that of Presiding Elder in the M. E. Church at
present. He was once, or more. Chairman of the Annual Conference
of The Reformed Methodist Church, and leader in the Ordaining
of new ministers.
In all of the labor necessary for the sustenance of thelmselves and
children during these years, and in the labor of service for the spiritual
betterment of their neighbors near and far, he found ready and ma-
terial help in his wife, Azubah. She was the principal factor in the
rearing and education of their children, and she yet ( 1907) survives at
Union, New York, to bless them with her presence and counsels.
They passed the winter of 1891 in Paris, France, with their son, Dr.
Isaac B. Davenport.
William W. Davenport died at Union, 20 March, 1899, of general
decline consequent upon years of hard labor and age. Their children
are:

Dr. Isaac Burnett^" Davenport {son of William W. Daven-
port and wife Azubah M. Burnett, daughter of Isaac Burnett and
wife Azubah^ Slocum, Joseph,'' Eleazer,^ John^ Eleazer,* Eleazer,^
Giles,- Anthony,'^) was born 12 May, 1854, at Tracy Creek, Vestal
Township, Broome County, New York, and was reared on the farm
where born. The short terms of Public School were valuably supple-
mented by his mother's experience and aid. He also attended the
Normal Class in the Binghamton, New York, High School, which
enabled him to obtain license to teach; and he taught one term of
four months when nineteen years of age. This was a great event in
his life, including the twenty-five dollars a month pay. It was in a
country district, a very severe winter, with much snow even to four
feet in depth — and he 'boarded around,' spending a week or two
with each family according to the number of children sent, not shun-
ning the untidy.
The following autumn, 1874, he entered the dental office of Dr.
A. F. Davenport, his father's cousin, at North Adams, Massachusetts.
At the same time he began courses of reading under the direction of
physicians George Lawrence, of North Adams, and Samuel Duncan
of Williamstofwn. P'eeling the need of a knowledge of Latin, he
made arrangements with Frank Sprague, then a pupil in the High
352 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA
School, for an exchange of services, he to attend to Sprague's teeth
and receive as payment Sprague's tutorage in Latin. This kind of
management in young people indicates a spirit of commendable thrift,
and later success. This Frank Sprague has become a great Patron of
Industry; the Inventor of the Sprague Traction System, and builder
of the first electric trolley railway, etc. Continuing his dental studies,
our subject past the examination of the Board of Censors of The
Dental Society of the State of New York in 1887, and received the
degree of Master of Dental Surgery (M. D. S.).
Also continuing his studies in medicine at The College of Physi-
cians and Surgeons in New York City, Columbia University, he was
there graduated Medical Doctor (M. D.), Class of 1879. This
summer was past in the hospitals and dispensaries of New York as
assistant, and he began to specialize on the eye and ear to make such
practice his life work. But here necessity became the mentor, and
changed his course along the lines of easier, and probably surer and
greater success. His funds were exhausted and he 'was forced' to
give up New York; and decision to return to dentistry was made.
He returned to Williamstown, Mass., where as a student he had
done some work and was somewhat acquainted ; and here his success
began. His acquaintance extended; he became Member of the Medi-
cal Society of Northern Berkshire ; of The American Dental Asso-
ciation ; of The Connecticut Valley Dental Society, and soon one of
its officers. He read papers before these societies, including a paper
in 1 88 1 before The American Dental Association on A Study of the
Etiology of Chemical Abrasion of the Cutting Edges of the Front
Teeth.
Some extensive dental work done for a summer visitor to Williams-
town from New York, attracted the favorable attention of a New York
dentist, and it resulted in Dr. Davenport going to Paris in 1883.
Here he has built up one of the largest dental practices of Europe.
It has also enabled 'him to render most efficient aid in establishing
his brothers. Doctors William S. and Kirk A. Davenport, in the dental
profession in Paris and London. He was in partnership with Drs.
Bogue, Moffatt, Cook, and Daboll, the first few years of his practice
in Paris, but has been in independent office since 1887, at the promi-
nent 30 Avenue de I'Opera.
Doctor Davenport's contributions to dental science have been ma-
terial. The most important of the many papers presented to the
AND THEIR ALLIANCES 353
profession by reading before societies, and publication, are ' The Sig-
nificance of the Natural Form and Arrangement of Dental Arches of
Man,' in 1887; and in 1892 a continuation of this subject at the
Heidelberg meeting of The American Dental Society of Europe. These
papers had an important influence in discontinuing the pernicious prac-
tice of filing and extracting of teeth, particularly against extraction of
the first permanent molars. Their influence was also prominent in es-
tablishing all dental operations upon a scientific basis; even to the
originating of orthodontia.
Doctor Davenport has been honored by societies of his profession:
Is Honorary Member of The Odontological Society of New York;
Associate Member of The Institute of Stomatology of New York;
Associate Fellow of The American Academy of Dental Science, of
Boston; Member of The National Dental Association of The U. S.
A. ; Member of the Societe de Stomatologie de Paris (composed of
medical men) ; Member of The American Dental Society of Europe.
He has held official positions in this society, but declined the presi-
dency after his election ; Member de Societe Frangaise pour I'Avance-
ment des Sciences; once a Member of the Committee (of three) for
France, of the Foreign Relations Committee of the National Associa-
tion of Dental Faculties, which position he resigned ; Member of the
Congress of Organization of several International Dental Congresses;
was chairman of Section of Pathology and Bacteriology of the Third
International Dental Congress held in Paris, 1900; Member of the
Committee of Organization of the first Congres Frangais de Stoma-
tologie held in Paris in August, 1907. In 1898 he received from the
reigning Prince Luitpold of Bavaria the decoration of Chevalier
le rOrdre Royal de St. Michel de Baviere, for services rendered
the Royal Family of Bavaria, especially after the fatal fire in Paris
of the Bazar de la Charite. For identification of many of the
burned victims, it was necessary for Dr. Davenport to examine
the teeth of nearly forty; and, after rejecting a body already ac-
cepted by the family upon supposed evidence, he was finally enabled
to identify from his work on the teeth a head and trunk with only
one arm attached, as the remains of the Duchesse d'Alenqon, daugh-
ter of the King of Bavaria, sister of the late Empress of Austria,
sister of the Queen of Naples, etc. By aid of his Record Charts
of all his operations, he was enabled to establish the identity beyond
all question, first to the official medical experts, second police ex-

perts, third to the full satisfaction of the family of the victim.
Other mistaken identifications were thus corrected. Many ques-
tions in jurisprudence are involved in such cases, and the identi-
fication must be beyond question. Amoeda's noted Traite de I' Art
Dentaire in Medicine Legale is a result of the general deep impression
of the importance and accuracy of the methods employed in these cases.
March i, 1907, Dr. Davenport received from the French authori-
ties a decoration as Officier de I'Academie Frangais, which shows
in his portrait given herewith.
Doctor Isaac Burnett Davenport married in Paris 4 December,
1884, Josephine Victorine Coutin, who was born 8 June, 1854, at St.
Jorioz, Haute-Savoie, France, daughter of Michel and Louise (Chap-
pet) Coutin. When a young lady she past two years in Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil, in the family of her sister, the wife of Joshua Bailey,
an American, and personal friend of Horace Greeley, William Lloyd
Garrison, and like notables. Later she accompanied them to the
United States; and attended school at the Convent of the Sacred
Heart Ermost, Providence, Rhode Island. This marriage has been
blest with children, viz.:
i. Nellie Burnett Davenport, born 30 August, 1885, at Bois de
Colombe, near Paris, France.
ii. Minnie May Davenport, b. 5 May, 1887, Neuilly, Paris.
iii. Ralph Slocum Davenport, born 12 April, 1891, at 30 Avenue
de I'Opera, Paris.
iv. Fred Lincoln Davenport, born 24 January, 1894, at Le Vesinet,
Seine et Oise, France; died i6 January, 1908. His remains v^'ere
deposited in the Vault of The American Church, Rue de Berri,
No. 21 in which Church the funeral was held.
The daughters are graduates of the Lycee Racine, Paris, and possess
decided literary tastes. Nellie's poetry has already attracted very
favorable attention, even from so great a poetess as the Comtesse
de Noailles. Ralph is 1907 at school in the Lycee Condorcet, Paris.
It is in the minds of the family that, after he obtains the baccalaureate,
he be sent to the United States for a dental education, with the hope
of his becoming his father's successor in this profession. The Doctor
retains for himself and children American citizenship.
Doctor Davenport's 'hobbies' he writes, are bacteriology and
histology. He has followed complete courses of the former in both
the Ecole de Medicine, and the Institut Pasteur, Paris, under
Metchnikoff and Roux, and private courses in the latter. Other

'hobbies' are amateur photography including photo-micrography;

opportunity presents, at his beautiful country home embracing one

has named le Bercail (The Sheepfold).

From his energy, good ideals and aspirations, Mr. Lewis made
friends rapidly, and was soon elected to the office of Justice of the
Peace, in which office he served several years. He soon became in-
terested in the manufacture of wood pulp for paper, later carrying
on the process to its completion to paper for various uses, including
pressed plates. Improved machinery has been added from time to
time until the product has materially improved both in quantity and
quality. He was largely interested in building the Lowville and
Beaver Railroad, and he was chosen its President, which office he
now holds (1906). He was also instrumental in the organization
of the National Pulp Board Company, composed of fifty paper manu-
factures; and he was chosen First Vice-President, and Chairman of
the Executive Coimmittee for six years during the existence of the
organization. His paper manufacturing interests have multiplied
and now exist in The J. P. Lewis Co., Lewis and Slocum, 619, Lewis,
Slocum and Le Fevre, and The Lewis Manufacturing Company.

successful also; but, after consideration, the firm was dissolved in
1888, and Humphrey E. removed his family to Niagara Falls. Here
he purchased a half interest in the dry goods business of the late Hon.
Thomas V. Welsh. This business was conducted four years with
the firm name H. E. Slocum and Company.
In 1892 Humphrey E. sold his interest to his partner, and retired
from the dry goods trade. He moved to Beaver Falls, N. Y., where
he yet (1907) resides, engaged in the manufacture of wood pulp
paper board, under the firm name of The J. P. Lewis Company (In-
corporated ) .
In politics he has been a Republican and interested in the success
of the party. Although not an active politician he was nominated
Assemblyman (lower House of the New York State Legislature) in
his close district, and was elected in 1903 with 822 majority. For
this term he was appointed on the Committees of Afifairs of Villages,

Brigadier-General Willard® Slocum {Elias,'' EleazerJ^ John,^
Eleazer,^ Eleazer,^ Giles, "^ Anthony,'^) was born 8 April, 1820, on
a farm near the present City of Ashland, Ohio. He was educated
in the Public Schools and in Kenyon College; and he taught Public
Schools several terms. He also early became prominent in local
affairs, including politics, and so remained to the close of a long and
busy life. He studied law in the same office with John Sherman,
brother of the General, and was admitted to its practice at the same
time, in the early 1840s. He soon attained, and retained a leading
position in his profession. At the first call for troops against the
Southern Rebellion he became active in recruiting for a number of
organizations, and his labors in this direction were valuable to the
State and Country. He was chosen officer of some of these recruits,
but the Governor, and Commanders of Camps, desired to keep him
at this work. Later, he insisted on going to the front, and he
marched away with the 120th Regiment of Ohio Volunteer Infantry,
as its Adjutant. He was commissioned Major 18 March, 1863, and
Lieutenant-Colonel the 8th September; and he took command of the
Regiment on account of the severe wounding of Colonel Spiegle in
February, 1864. He was with General Banks in his Red River
Expedition, when Colonel Spiegle was among the first killed, and
the escape of the Regiment was bloody and narrow. He was bre-
vetted Brigadier-General 13 March, 1865, 'for meritorious service in
the field.' For more details of service see Volume L
Early in the 1880s he became interested at O'Neill, Nebraska, and
passed eight or ten years there; but as infirmities deepened, he re-
turned to his home at Ashland. He here died 23 September, 1894,
after a lingering illness. His funeral was very largely attended by
old soldiers and by all classes.
His widow, Caroline Augusta Carr, died 7 December, 1901, aged
over seventy-two years, at the home of her son, Morton, in Chicago,
Illinois, where she was visiting. She was buried in Ashland, beside
her husband, to whom she had been a veritable helpmate. She was
possessed of many admirable native endowments, and was well cul-
tured in the Ashland Academy, the Seminary at Canton, and The

Walter Leslie" Slocum {Benjamin F.,^ Oliver W.,'' Jonah,^
John,^ Eleazer,'^ Eleazer,^ Giles," Anthony,^) was born 15 Novem-
ber, 1 86 1, at Manchester, near Erie, Pennsylvania. In 1862 or '63
his parents moved into Erie; and about 1870 they moved their family
into the Petroleum region of Pennsylvania, first to Tarr Farm, and
in 1875 to Rynn Farm, one mile south; in 1876 to Bradford; in
1877 back to Erie, and in the spring of 1878 back into the oil region
of Allegany, New York; and in 1882 to Olean, N. Y- The occu-
pation of the father during these years was that of 'Torpedo Agent'
in control of the high explosives to be lowered into the deep Petro-
leum Wells and exploded at or near the bottom to fracture the rock
and facilitate the flow of Petroleum into and up the well. In this
work Walter assisted as he became old enough, attending the Public
School as opportunity presented. In the summer of 1882 his parents
moved to Indian River, Cheboygan County, Michigan, and Walter
followed in January. The father homesteaded eighty acres of land,
and they entered upon its improvement and cultivation. In the
spring of 1885 Walter entered homestead claim of eighty acres of
land by the upper Black River, in Cheboygan County, and during
the next three years when not on this land he followed various oc-
cupations— lumberman, hotel clerk, guide for guests of summer re-
sort hotel, and machine repairing.
In the spring of 1888 he went to Grand Rapids, Michigan, and
regularly took up his trade of locksmith and light machine repairer,
which he yet (1907) continues in this place.
He was married by Rev. R. M. Thompson, 11 July, 1889, at
Mullet Lake, Mich., to Phebe R., daughter of Louis and Phebe S.

come,^ John/' Eleazer,'^ Eleazer,^ Giles j^ Anthony j'^) born in Pawling
Tp., Duchess Co., New York, 22 June, 1836, and was reared from
the age of five years at Fish House Village, Northampton Tp., Ful-
ton Co., N. Y. He was educated in the Public Schools, at Amster-
dam Academy, and took the full course of study at The Claverick In-
stitute, Columbia County, N. Y.
Here he met Alice S. Quinby, whom he married 27 April,
1858. He united with the Methodist Episcopal Church at the age
of twenty-one years from the preaching of his aunt, Sara Thomp-
son, a woman of great spiritual powder and of large influence over
his life for good. He soon answered the call to the ministry, was
accepted, and joined the Troy Conference in 1868. He began his
work in Edinburg, Saratoga Co., adjoining his home in North-
ampton. During the first year of his labors there were two hun-
dred additions to the Church, many being aged men. He served
other appointments; at Brunswick, Nassau and Brainard, Benning-
ton, Vt., Levings, Troy, Ballston Spa, Valley Falls, Malta Ridge.
During these ministrations he led movements for the building of
new Church Houses, parsonages, and for repairing the old. He also
left his congregations largely increased in numbers and efficiency.
The lowering of his physical powers from overwork and exposure,
led to an attack of diphtheria which resulted in paralysis of the
vocal organs, and necessitated his taking the supernumerary relation
in 1884. His many friends felt this affliction a great loss to them-

George Engs^ Slocum {Matthew B/ Benja?nin/' John,^ Ben-
jamin,'^ Eleazer,^ Giles," Anthony,'^) was born 20 June, 1824, in
Delphi, Onondaga County, New York. He learned the tinner's
trade and in 1841 went by canal to Rochester, where he worked
at this trade eight years. He returned to Onondaga County in
1848 to marry Lydia Ann Fort, and at once returned to Monroe
County with her. In 1849 they settled at Scottsville, this county,
where he engaged in the hardware business. He was conservative,
industrious and successful.
An active Republican in political belief, he was not an office
seeker; but he served several years as assessor of his Township, and
as school district clerk. His diversion was largely in local history,
and of this he gathered a great stock of valuable data which made
him the best informed citizen in the history of his community. At
the Centennial Celebration of his Township, Wheatland, he de-
livered the historical address. In 1871 he was one of the founders
of the Scottsville Literary Society, which has continued an active
factor in the social and literary life of the Village. He read articles,
AND THEIR ALLIANCES 375
and delivered addresses before this Society; and two publications by
the Society were prepared by him.
He was of kindly heart; avoided the antagonisms of life as much
as possible, and sought to enjoy with his friends and neighbors the
amenities of life. Upon the organization of Grace Church in Scotts-
ville, 1885, he identified himself with it, became member of the
vestry, and was its clerk. He was member of the Rochester His-
torical Society.
They died in Scottsville, N. Y., she 22 April, 1904, he 13 No-
vember, 1906, and were there buried in Oatka Cemetery.
During the last year of his life he manifested great interest in
the writer's work on this book; and he tried to get full report from
each one of his immediate relatives, often lamenting their apparent
want of interest, and dilatoriness after promise.
He prepared a MS. History of the Town of Wheatland, Monroe
County, New York. This is 1907 being edited for publication by
his friend Rear Admiral Franklin Hanford, U.S.N, (retired).

24 December, 1866, in Scottsville, Monroe County, New York.
He was graduated at the University of Rochester, and in engineer-
ing at the Stevens Institute of Technology. He then engaged with
the Western Electric Company, with which corporation he is yet,
1907, employed, this being the eighteenth year with them. Five
years of this time were passed in New York City. In 1891 he was
transferred to the Chicago office, where he yet remains; and since
1899 has been connected with telephone sales department.
He takes an interest in public affairs, although he has never held
office, or sought to do so. In the sixth ward, Chicago, where he
resides, he has been active in politics, having been one of the leaders
in the general movement which elected Charles S. Deneen Gover-
nor of Illinois in 1905. He is president of the 31st precinct of his
ward. He joined the Hamilton Club in 1901 and is a regular
noon-day attendant. In college he was a member of the Delta
Kappa Epsilon fraternity. He also belongs to the Royal Arcanum;
is a director of the Hyde Park Protective Association, and for sev-
eral years has been a trustee of the Forty-first Street Presbyterian
Church, Chicago.
He was married 27 December, 1894, in Rochester, New York,
to Gertrude Goodwill Glass, born 9 March, 1867, there, daughter
of Heman and Lucy Ann (Goodwill) Glass.
Like his father he took great interest in this book, and supple-

xMajor-General Henry Warner^ Slocum {Matthew B.~'
Benjamin,^ JohnJ' Benjamin * Eleazer,^ Giles,^ Anthony/) was born
24 September, 1826, in Delphi, Onondaga County, Ne^v York. He
died of pneumonia at his home in Brooklyn, N. Y., 14 April, 1894.
His wife, Clara Rice Slocum, died in March, 1898. See Volume I.
The Legislature of the State of New York enacted a Bill 30
March, 1896, to erect a statue on the Battlefield of Gettysburg in
honor of this eminent soldier; and this Act became a law by approval
of Gov. Levi P. Morton 4 April, 1896. A heroic size equestrian
statue in bronze was settled upon by The Monuments Commission,
and it was erected on Culp's Hill. It was dedicated lO September,
1903, in the presence of the family of the deceased, the Governors
of several States, and many other prominent men, civil and military,
including over one thousand soldiers and ex-soldiers of General
Slocum's former commands.* The bronze letter tablets on the sides
of the granite pedestal are each four feet nine and three-quarter
inches wide by three feet ten and one-eighth inches high. They read
as follows, beginning on the westerly side, viz. :
Major General Henr,v Warner Slocum, U. S. V. 1826-1894. In command
of Right Wing of The Army of The Potomac at The Battle of Gettys-
burg July I, 2, 3, 1863. "Stay and Fight it Out" Gen. Slocum at Council
of War, July 2, 1863. Erected by State of New York, 1902.
♦Edward C Potter is the artist of this statue. It was cast in bronze by
the Gorham Manufacturing Company of Providence, R. I. The features
of the General were acceptable to his family; and Gov. Franklin Murphy,
of New Jersey, one of the speakers at the Dedication, and a soldier io
Gen. Slocum's command, said in part of his address: . . . "If you will
look at his face — and I never saw a more speaking face in bronze than
that face yonder — you will understand how it was that General Slocum
easily won and always held the confidence and affection of his soldiers."
The general dimensions of the granite pedestal are twent\'-one feet eight
inches long, fifteen feet ten inches wide, and sixteen feet three and one-
half inches high, divided into ten courses. The bronze statue, including
plinth, is fifteen feet six inches to the top of the head of the rider (entire
monument 31 ft. 9 1-2 inches from ground) ; the plinth measuring eleven
feet nine and three-quarter inches long by four feet wide.
The Legislative appropriation for this admirable monument was $30,000
The cost of it was $29,941.57.

cum resigned from the Army and was Honorably discharged.
Maj .-Gen. Daniel E. Sickles, U. S. A., Chairman New York
Monuments Commission for the Battlefield of Gettysburg, presented
the Monument to Governor Odell. He said in part:
. . . These people are here to-day to dedicate this statue of their beloved
commander . . . erected by a grateful Commonwealth to commemorate his
heroic services on this Battlefield. This Battlefield has become hallowed
ground for the people whose kindred have contended here for the life of
the Nation. More than a million of our citizens have come to Gettysburg
since July, 1863. . . . No battlefield on earth is so consecrated by
loving tokens of remembrance. . . . New York may well be satisfied
with her part in the Battle of Gettysburg. . . . The day before Hooker
was relieved from command it was arranged that Slocum should intrench
his Army Corps, reinforced by 10,000 men to be withdrawn from Harper's
Ferry, on Lee's line of communication, a position from which Slocum could
not have been driven. If Hooker had not been superseded Slocum would
have been at Williamsport on the Potomac with 20,000 men intrenched, and
Lee would never have returned to Virginia with his army.
On the night of July 2, 1863, after a bloody battle, fought on the after-
noon of that day on our left flank, a council of war was convened by the
commanding general, to consider our situation, and advise him what to do.
The Corps commanders present expressed their views in order of their
rank respectively. Slocum being the ranking ofiicer in the council, was the
last to reply. He said "Stay and fight it out." That speech settled the
matter. ... It was Spartan eloquence, and won the assent of the coun-
AND THEIR ALLIANCES 379
cil. "Stay and fight it out" was the advice given by the council to General
Meade, who was not satisfied with his position at Gettysburg. The Army
of the Potomac did "stay and fight it out." The victory gained is the best
comment that can be made on Slocum's judgment. "Stay and fight it out"
would be a good motto for Slocum's descendants. "Stay and fight it out"
would be a good motto for all our American youth. We have inscribed it
there on the pedestal of this statue, where for centuries to come American
soldiers will read Slocum's inspiring speech: "Stay and fight it out." . . .
I am thankful to have been spared to come here to-day to assist in the
dedication of this Monument to my comrade and friend, the foremost soldier
New York sent to the field during the Civil War. ... He never failed.
He never lost a color or a gun. Although his voice will never again be
heard by his beloved comrades, this heroic figure will stand for ages to
come as a type of an American Commander, modest, resolute, sagacious,
brave
Governor Odell followed in a brief address, as follows, in part:
Gettysburg will always occupy a place in history as the decisive battle
of the Southern Rebellion, and perhaps to a greater extent than any other
this field will be the Mecca of those who in years to come desire to pay
tribute to the memory of the brave men who sacrificed their lives in de-
fense of our Nation's honor
What might have happened if the tide of battle upon this field had
turned against the North cannot be conceived. . . .
New York has a pride in this field, because here, perhaps, to a greater
extent than in any other battle, she showed her devotion by furnishing a
greater number of men. In the patriotic General, whose Monument we
dedicate to-day, was found one of those sturdy men who knew not only
duty but who gave to its performance an intelligence which insured to
him the respect and confidence of his associates and those whom he led.
He and the brave men of New York and other States of the Union need
no monument to perpetuate their glory. Monuments may be erected as
the Nation's tribute, but our Country and this Battlefield stand as the monu-
ment of their devotion, their patriotism and their heroism
Then followed an Oration by Gen. James C. Rogers, of the
Twelfth Army Corps, which was long and eulogistic. Excerpts are
here given :
It was my good fortune to have been associated with General Slocum
during a large part of his brilliant military career, and because I knew
him and loved him with the enthusiastic ardor that a young soldier feels
for the Chief in whom he trusts and believes. And General Slocum had
that in him, both as officer and man, to inspire confidence, admiration and
love. . . .
And now, after all this time has passed, with the impressions of all
those early days strengthened by the judgment of maturer years, I can
380 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA
truthfully say that in the combination of high soldierly qualities with the
purest patriotism, in decision of character and the power of quick adaptation
of means to the end to be accomplished, in coolness and courage, Henry
W. Slocum was the peer of all
General Slocum, although a West Point graduate and regular army
officer, had resigned from the army before the breaking out of the war,
and his mind had been broadened and humanized, as it were, by daily con-
tact with all kinds of men in civil life. He knew and recognized better
than most officers who had remained in the service and whose duties had
run in the narrow channels of army life in time of peace, that the young
officers and men of the volunteer regiments of those days were not of the
kind who had been in the habit- of enlisting before the war, but were of
the best blood of the land and could be moulded and made effective as
soldiers more by kindness and by the inspiration of duty than by rough
handling and the compulsion of fear. And during the months that fol-
lowed, both in the Valley and at Stafford Court House, he brought the
Twelfth Corps, whose emblem was the Star, into such a state of discipline
and effectiveness that it compared favorably with even the gallant corps of
our Chairman [Gen. Sickles] and what higher praise could I give it than
that ... Of course, it is mere speculation now; but one cannot help think-
ing of what would have been the result if, after Lee's army had been de-
feated here [at Gettysburg] and promptly followed up, a cool, determined
fighter like General Slocum, with twenty thousand men, had been at
the fords of the upper Potomac to head it off [as Gen. Hooker had planned
before he resigned] . In that event, how much of that army and its im-
mense baggage train would have recrossed the river, into Virginia? . . .
I remember as though it were but yesterday, that long, dry and dusty march
on July I, 1863. The men had tramped many miles through heat and dust,
under a burning sky, and were ready to drop with fatigue, when late in
the afternoon, General Slocum came riding by us towards the head of the
column. As he passed he said in his cheery, pleasant way, as I have no
doubt he said to the regiments behind us, "Press on men, as rapidly as
you can! there is fighting in front of us. Press on and follow me!" And
at once that tired and drooping column straightened up as if a thrill of
new life and strength and energy had been put into it, and hurrying on
came upon the field of battle [Gettysburg] too late for that day's conflict,
but ready for the fighting of the days that followed. Such was General
Slocum's power over his troops.
Look at his record, briefly summed up . . . distinguishing himself
at the Battle of Gaines' Mill and other battles of the Peninsular Campaign,
and afterwards at Crampton's Pass and Antietam; then promoted to the
command of the Twelfth Army Corps, he made it the magnificent fighting
machine whose prowess at Chancellorsville and Gettysburg has given it
a conspicuous place in history; and in the west, as the trusted lieutenant
of the dauntless Sherman, in his marvelous marches and campaigns, he ends
the fighting in that department with his victory at Bentonville. Not one
AND THEIR ALLIANCES 38 1
mistake, not one event in those long years of active leadership which we
would wish to blot out. And then when the war is over and that for
which he fought is won, he sheathes his sword and returns to the peaceful
avocations of the citizen. Oh, life is worth living when it can furnish
such a record as this! Is it any wonder that the officers and men whom he
commanded trusted and believed in him and loved him? Is it any wonder
that the great State of New York erects this magnificent statue to his mem-
ory on this historic Battlefield

Col. Archie E. Baxter then delivered an Oration on the 20th
Army Corps. This effort was long, eloquent, poetic, and is here
sketched, viz. :
• ••■••••■■••• •
Nearly forty years ago ! And yet in the midst of these impressive sur-
roundings, how thrillingly come thronging back memories of the old times.
Our purpose here naturally recalls recollections of the illustrious soldier
who, at a crisis in this great struggle, averted irretrievable disaster and made
possible the victory that marked the beginning of the end of the Confederacy,
brought fresh renown to our arms and a luster to our flag that will never
fade. As boys we loved, trusted and were proud of this great captain, and
confidently followed wherever he led. To-day, as men, many of us grown
old beyond our years, we are reverently gathered to honor his memory.
Patriotic New York has been generous with monuments and statues in
honor of her sons, but never has she erected one more deserved than is
this in commemoration of the inestimable services to State and Nation of her
greatest soldier, Major-General Henry Warner Slocum Genial,
warm-hearted and familiar, but through his innate dignity restraining ex-
cesses and exacting the respect due him and his exalted station. We see
him in the heat of battle, cool, deliberate and self-poised amid the wild ex-
citement, the awful crash and roar — but mark the change when he discovers
that 'some one has blundered;' the whole man seems transfigured; there
is a terrible intensity in the compressed lips, the blazing eyes. It is not the
joy of conflict, the lust of battle, but rather the outward mark of a relent-
less will, of a determination to save what the blunder has endangered, to
triumph for his flag and country. Let the battle roar, the lines surge and
waver, he never loses his soldierly grasp of the situation. No sudden re-
verse discourages or dismays
As General Slocum's command was the first to enter Atlanta, so was it
the first, in the person of the gallant Gen. Henry A. Barnum and his men,
to scale the Confederate works and enter the city of Savannah.
His mid-winter march with heavy wagon-trains and artillery through
the flooded swamps and across the swollen and bridgeless rivers of the
Carolinas, was one of General Slocum's great achievements. At Averas-
boro he won a handsome victory over General Hardee. Near Bentonville,
Gen. Joe Johnston, discovering that our two wings were moving by di-
vergent lines, massed his whole force and entrenched in General Slocum's
382 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA
front, intending to surprise him and crush his army. But General Slocum
was alert and rapidly deployed in line of battle. While his men were hur-
riedly gathering fence rails for barricades, using their tin plates and cups for
shovels, the shock of battle broke upon them. Out of the woods in front
burst the gallant gray lines. Their flags were waving gayly in the sun-
light; sabres flashed and bayonets gleamed. To our waiting lines front-
ing the onset it was a thrilling sight. On, though ploughed and torn by our
artillery, with the steadiness of veterans confident of success, they came.
Midway across the field they broke into a run and, with the old Confederate
yell, came sweeping towards us. Suddenly from our ranks leaped sheets
of living flame. Volley after volley ran flashing, rattling and hissing down
our lines. Thinned and staggered by the withering fire they wavered, broke
and went reeling back across the field. Again and again with desperate
courage they recklessly charged, and though men of the blue and of the
gray fell side by side, six times were they driven back over a field thickly
strewn with their wounded and dead. Then, as the sun broke through the
smoke of battle and bathed our flag in a flood of glory, from our triumph-
ant lines the old Union cheer burst from the lips of veterans who, in grim
silence, had fought like heroes and splendidly won the last material battle
of the Southern Rebellion.
Bentonville was known as Slocum's battle. Here practically ended his
military career. The war was over, the Union saved and liberty pro-
claimed throughout the land, his heart turned longingly towards the pur-
suits of peace, and he gladly sheathed his sword forever. . . .
He had proved equal to every trust committed to him. His heart had been
untouched by intrigue, quarreling, rivalry, envy or disappointed' ambition.
Unmindful of personal advancement he sought only his country's safety and
glory.
As a citizen, though crowned with the lustre of great achievements, he
bore himself so meekly there was no reminder of the days when his words
were potent upon fields of mighty conflict. Successful, esteemed and loved,
he might, had he but consented to "stoop to conquer," have held the high-
est places within the gift of his countrymen. Amid the cares and responsi-
bilities of an active life, he took pleasure in guarding with watchful care
the welfare of the helpless veterans at the State Soldiers' Home, and in
advancing the educational interests of the children of the city of his adop-
tion. Time had already whitened the honored head, but had left throbbing
within the old soldier's breast a great, tender, loving heart. When the
'taps' sounded and his light went out forever, his City lost her most il-
lustrious citizen, his State her greatest soldier.
The dedicatory exercises of New York's Equestrian Statue of
General Slocum on the Gettysburg field closed here with a bene-
diction.
AND THEIR ALLIANCES 383
Long before his decease General Slocum chose Colonel William
F. Fox as Historian of his Twelfth Army Corps. Colonel Fox
served under General Slocum, at times in both the Twelfth and
Twentieth Corps; and The New York Monuments Commission
printed his Life of General Slocum, and his Slocum and His Men,
following their Report to the State regarding the Monument and

tory of the General and his men, with some of the General's cor-
respondence, and letters received from General Sherman, other offi-
cers, and citizens in high authority, which were placed in the
Colonel's hands by the General's family. The following are excerpts
from Colonel Fox's writings:
To obtain the higher education which he keenly desired, Henry Warner
Slocum engaged in business ventures of a minor character which were suc-
cessful, and at sixteen he secured a position as teacher in a country school.
He entered the seminary at Cazenovia, N. Y., and afterward
studied at the State Normal School in Albany. He then returned to Caze-
novia where he resumed teaching, this time in one of the Public Schools of
that town.
General Howard, in his reminiscences of Slocum's life at the Military
Academy, says: "It was my good fortune, my second year, during Cadet
Slocum's first class-year, to room on the floor just below him. Of course,
there was class separation, and I was three years his junior; but he treated
me with kindness and attention. His individuality especially impressed it-
self upon me. He expressed himself openly, when it cost so much to do so,
as an opponent of human slavery. The pro-slavery sentiment at West Point
was so great at that time that it derogated from one's popularity to express,
or even be suspected of, abolition sentiments. In spite of the opposition
thus awakened, and his known attitude against prevailing opinion, Cadet
Slocum was, nevertheless, highly esteemed by all thoughtful fellow cadets,
resulting in a lasting respect, which was only deepened by his subsequent
life."t ....
Although many of Slocum's classmates entered the Academy with the advan-
tage of a collegiate education he maintained a high standing in his scholastic
work and graduated seventh in a class of forty-three.

384 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA
With the firing of the first gun on Sumter his former military ambition
revived. . . . He went to Albany, called upon the Governor and
tendered his services to the State. He did not ask for a commission as
brigadier-general or a colonelcy, although he was far better qualified to fill
either position than most of the men to whom these appointments were given.
He merely asked for authority to recruit a batte*-;- of light artillery. But the
Governor, imbued with the optimistic spirit of the hour, gravely informed him
that the South would be subdued without the use of artillery, and the modest
application was denied.* . . .
He accepted commission as Colonel of the 27th Regiment, New
York Infantry, 21 May, 1861. . . At the Battle of First Bull Run
his regiment distinguished itself by its efficiency in action and its steadiness
under a severe fire amid scenes of confusion and panic. Colonel Slocum at-
tracted favorable attention by the conspicuous gallantry with which he handled
his regiment in the battle until he was carried off the field, suffering from a
severe wound. ... In this battle the Twenty-seventh sustained
a loss of 230 killed, wounded and missing
The marked efficiency of the regiment in this, the first general engagement of
the war, furnished ample evidence of the skillful training bestowed upon it
by its accomplished Colonel. The Government quickly recognized the mili-
tary ability of the man whose services at Bull Run contrasted so strongly with
the incapacity and ignorance displayed there by many favorites from whom
great things had been expected; and before Slocum had recovered from his
wound he was cheered and gratified by the announcement of his promotion
to the rank of brigadier.t
At the start his brigade received some wholesome lessons from the dis-
ciplinarian who commanded them. For instance, in a letter written home from
Alexandria, Va., October 11, 1861, Slocum says: "I have been very fortunate
in securing control of my brigade. One day last week eighteen officers of
the Sixteenth [New York Regiment] addressed a communication to me rela-
tive to one of my orders on the subject of depredations on private property.
They thought it very severe, and 'respectfully demanded' its modification.
I at once placed every one of them in arrest, and confined them to their tents.
Within a day or two the most humble apologies commenced pouring in, and
finally every one was released. But it had a wonderful effect."
At West Point or Eltham's Landing, May 7, 1862, Franklin's
Division engaged the enemy, an action in which the conduct of General Slo-
cum 'was admirable' as described in the official report of his superior. Upon
the assignment of General Franklin to the command of the newly organized
Sixth Corps, Slocum succeeded him as General of the division — First Divis-
ion, Sixth Corps. An old story this — the fortunes of war. In 1861 Slocum

was vainly importuning the Governor of his State for a commission as cap-
tain of artillery. A year later he' rode at the head of one of the finest di-
visions in the Army of the Potomac.
. ' . . For conspicuous services rendered by him at Gaines' Mill and
in the movement to the James, he was promoted to Major-General. . . .
But it was in the Maryland campaign, which soon followed, that Slocum
achieved his greatest success as a division general. . . .
General Franklin finding that he could not use artillery with advantage
determined to carry the position by an infantry assault. For this purpose he
selected Slocum's Division, the Second Division — Smith's — being held in re-
serve. Franklin says in his report that the advance of General Slocum was
made with admirable steadiness through a well-delivered fire from the bat-
teries on the [South] Mountain. The line of battle formed, a charge was
ordered. The men swept forward with a cheer, over the stone wall, dis-
lodging the enemy and pursuing him up the mountain side to the crest of
the hill and down the opposite slope. This single charge, sustained as it
was over a great distance and up a rough ascent of unusual steepness, was
decisive. The Confederates were driven in the utmost confusion, and al-
lowed no opportunity to rally until the pass was cleared. Slocum was a con-
spicuous figure in the charge, his soldierly bearing and fearless exposure
of his person to the enemy's fire winning enthusiastic praise from the troops
who fought by his side.
At the Battle of Chancellorsville, as on other fields, Slocum displayed
military genius of a high order, and his troops made another record as a
steady, hard fighting corps.
An incident at this time came under the writer's [Colonel William F. Fox's]
observation which was characteristic of the General's methods in handling
troops on the field. When Williams' Division was ordered out of its breast-
works to the support of General Sickles during the reconnoissance made by
the latter on the second day, a regiment of Ruger's Brigade was delayed at
the passage of a small stream. Owing to this hindrance it fell considerably
behind the rest of the brigade, and its colonel, anxious to close up, gave the
order to double-quick. The regiment moved forward at a rapid pace, the
accoutrements and cooking utensils carried by the men keeping up a rattling,
jingling accompaniment. Suddenly the rapid hoofbeats of a horse under the
spur were heard, and the rider wheeled short in front of the column. It
was Slocum, and his eyes shone with anger or excitement. "Colonel, halt your
regiment!" he shouted. Then leaning over the side of his saddle he said,
in low, earnest tones : "Colonel, you must not take your regiment into action
on the run. I don't want these men to go into the fight tired and out of
breath. Let them walk. There is no need of all this hurry-" With a severe
look he regarded the breathless soldiers for a moment, wheeled his horse
suddenly and was gone. A trifling incident, perhaps; but it illustrates the
(26)
386 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA
personal attention which Slocum gave to details when putting his troops
in action.
At Gettysburg, the greatest battle of the war, General Slocum occupied
a prominent position by reason of the important duties assigned him by the
General commanding. As the senior General in the Army of the Potomac
he was in command of the Right Wing
In one of the earlier histories of this battle a writer says that
Slocum was dilatory in coming on the field. The gross misrepresentation of
certain facts and evident ignorance of other important ones would require
no mention here were it not that this untruth, at one time, was accepted and
repeated to some extent. ...........
General Meade arrived on the battlefield before daybreak on the morn-
ing of July second, the second day of the battle. Addressing himself im-
mediately to the situation he planned an attack, to be made by his right wing
against rfhe enemy's left. For this purpose he placed the Fifth and Twelfth
Corps under command of General Slocum, with the Sixth Corps as a sup-
porting column. The latter was expected to arrive at Gettysburg in time
for the proposed movement. But General Slocum, however much he might
have been pleased by such recognition of his military ability, did not allow
any feeling of pride in this flattering selection of himself to interfere with
his judgment in the matter. After carefully reconnoitering the position of
the enemy in his front and the topographical difficulties presented by the in-
tervening ground, he reported to General Meade that the proposed attack
was not practicable. General Warren, chief engineer of Meade's staff, con-
curred in this opinion. The attack was abandoned, and these troops were
saved from what, in all probability, would have been a defeat, with a terri-
ble loss of life. The plan afforded Slocum a tempting opportunity to dis-
tinguish himself, but he possessed moral as well as physical courage.
When Slocum received the order to abandon Gulp's Hill he informed
Meade that he had just received word from both Williams and Geary, his
division generals, that the enemy was in their front in strong force. He
urgently requested that a division be left to guard the line held by the
Twelfth Corps, but General Meade would consent to leave but a brigajle
to defend the position* [Although Meade had more troops massed on his
left than he could put into action].
Slocum's insistence that some troops should be left to hold Gulp's Hill
was extremely fortunate. Had he not done so Meade's army would soon
have been overwiielmed in an irretrievable disaster.
[Confederate General Johnson advanced, drove back the meagre
force left at Gulp's Hill and, had they advanced a short distance further
that evening they could have seized Meade's headquarters also]. Johnson
was heavily reinforced during the night, but when morning came his op-
*See Address of General Slocum at the Revmion of Greene's Brigade at

AND THEIR ALLIANCES 387
portunity was gone. At midnight the Twelfth Corps returned and, finding
their breastworks occupied [by the enemy], went into position covering the
line of the Baltimore Pike. Slocum gave orders to attack at daybreak, and
in a few hours, after some of the most brilliant fighting in the war, the
Twelfth Corps recaptured their works and drove Johnson's forces across
Rock Creek. The Union right was secure again.*
[At the close of the fighting of this day came the council of war, and
General Slocum's terse "Stay and Fight it Out" advice which, being accepted,
again settled favorably the fate of Gettysburg]. t
In April, 1864, General Slocum was assigned to the command of the District
of Vicksburg. . . The position thus assigned was befitting his rank
and record. As a military command it was an important one, for it em-
braced bodies of troops outnumbering those of an ordinary army corps.
Futhermore, as it included a territory wrested from the enemy, it imposed
duties of a grave responsibility in the management of a dissatisfied people
and the adjustment of the various civil questions incident to such a condi-
tion. The Government had selected him for this trying position, relying
on his superior judgment and administrative ability which, as well as his
brilliant record in the field, had won for him the confidence of the War
Department.
But, in the exercise of his authority, Slocum had to contend with compli-
cations and annoyances that were extremely distasteful to him as a soldier.
There were other generals at this time on the Mississippi who held terri-
torial commands, and Slocum was annoyed repeatedly by orders from these
officers, all of them juniors in rank, instructing him to detach large bodies
of troops for purposes regarding which he had little or no knowledge. But
he stood stoutly on his rights and refused these requests, especially as they
would have crippled his own command and prevented him from sending
the expeditions into the enemy's country which he had been commanded to
make.
General Sherman, also, misled by false information, wrote Slocum in re-
gard to a certain matter, notifying him that if it was not attended to "you
need not expect military favors from General Grant or myself!" But Slocum
was the last man to shape his line of action by expected favors, and in his
answer to Sherman said: "Without any particular desire to secure favors
from yourself or any other person, I shall continue faithful in the discharge
of my duty which, I think, you readily perceive a very disagreeable and
*See General Howard's Address at the Memorial Service, Plymouth Church,
Brooklyn, April 29, 1894, in which he said: . . . Slocum's resolute in-
sistence upon leaving General Greene and his brigade, when General Meade
directed that the whole Twelfth Corps be sent to his left, — this insistence
followed by Greene's marvelous night battle, and Slocum's organized work
and engagement of the ensuing early morning, in my judgment, saved the
Battle of Gettysburg

eral Slocum's subsequent military services, see Col. Fox's writings, and other

388 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA
difficult one when 3011 compare the different orders issued to me by General
Canby with those issued by yourself." Sherman, finding that his source
of information " the Atlanta paper of the 25th" was not to be relied on
wrote Slocum an explanatory and somewhat apologetic letter which closed
the incident.*
But Slocum was needed at the front again. He was appointed to the com-
mand of the Twentieth Corps, then on the Atlanta Campaign; turned over
his duties at Vicksburg August 14, 1864, closed his affairs there, and hastened
to join Sherman's army.
Slocum arrived at the camps of the Twentieth Corps August 27th,
his appearance being greeted with enthusiastic cheers. The Gettysburg and
Chancellorsville veterans were especially prominent in this demonstration,
as they rejoiced greatly at the prospect of serving under their old commander
again.
General Slocum was the first to enter and take possession of Atlanta.
Here he remained over two months, being occupied with provost duties and
in organizing expeditions into the country for gathering supplies for his
command. . . Preparations were made for the movement through
Georgia to Savannah. For this purpose the army was divided into two separate
commands, designated respectively the Right and Left Wing. The former,
composed of the Army of the Tennessee, was placed under General Howard;
the latter, made up of two Corps from the Army of the Cumberland — Four-
teenth and Twentieth — was assigned to General Slocum.
The March to the Sea began November 15th. One week before, he wrote
a letter to his family describing some of the scenes of preparation and other,
closing as follows: "I wish for humanity's sake that this sad war could
be brought to a close. While laboring to make it successful, I shall do
all in my power to mitigate its horrors."
General Slocum held now the highest command in his military career,
that of a separate army [The Army of Georgia]. The able manner in
which he conducted his forces justified his selection for this responsible po-
sition.
At Savannah, Hardee had one avenue of escape — across the Savannah
River to the North. As the left of Slocum's Army rested on the river, he
made a demonstration against this one line by which the enemy might re-
treat, and had he secured his desired permission he would have placed a
strong body of troops across it. But Sherman had a different arrangemeiit
in mind, and went to Beaufort to secure the co-operation of some troops
for his purpose. During his absence Hardee, alarmed by the threatening
movement of one of Slocum's brigades towards his rear, evacuated the city,
and withdrew his forces in safety. Crossing the river, he reached a cause-
way through a swamp, his one and only way of escape. Had Slocum's sug-
*General Slocum's orders during his command of the District of Vicks-
burg are of historical value.
AND THEIR ALLIANCES 389
gestion been adopted, the entire garrison would have been compelled to
surrender within a short time. Upon the evacuation a division of Slocum's
Twentieth Corps was the first to enter the City, and to these troops was ac-
corded the privilege of remaining there on Provost duty, as at Atlanta, while
the army lay outside the town.
In January, 1865, Sherman's two armies started northward on the cam-
paign of the Carolinas, with the ultimate intention of joining the Army of
the Potomac at Petersburg, or co-operating with it. This campaign was
the most remarkable one in the history of the War for its duration, the num-
ber of miles marched, and the hardships encountered by the soldiers. It
was undertaken at the most inclement season of the year in that climate.
Though the pontoon trains were sufficient for bridging any stream
on the line of march, they were useless in the wide areas of flooded low-
lands. The soldiers were obliged to wade repeatedly through long stretches
of deep and chilling water, often exposed to the gun fire of the enemy.
In passing through North Corolina, Slocum, yet in command of the Left
Wing, encountered Hardee's forces near Averasborough. An engagement,
one of the minor battles of the War, ensued, in which Slocum defeated Har-
dee handsomely and drove him from the field. Three days later, Gen. Jos. E.
Johnston, having united and intrenched his scattered forces, attacked Slocum
at Bentonville. The Confederate leader, having over 20,000 veterans un-
der his command, hoped that by a sudden dash upon the Left Wing he
could defeat that Army before it could receive assistance from the Right
Wing, then many miles distant. But Slocum, wary and cautious, quickly
divined the intention of his antagonist. Recalling his advance and bringing
forward his divisions in the rear, he drew his forces into position quickly
and repulsed Johnston's fierce onslaught. When night came he was still
in possession of the field. The next day he was reinforced by troops sent
to his support by General Howard. There was some desultory fighting,
and then Johnston retreated to Raleigh. Another victory was added to
Slocum's record.
The careful, methodical action which always characterized Slocum's move-
ments when about to encounter the enemy in force was well displayed at
Bentonville. When the General found that a battle was imminent he halted
until he could bring up all his available forces, and in the meantime as-
certain the position of the enemy. General Kilpatrick, who was in command
of the cavalry, urged Slocum strongly to make a bold dash and clear the
Confederates out of the way as he (Slocum) had done at Averasborough.
Had he done so he would have invited a serious disaster. But rejecting the
advice thus offered he said, significantly: "General Kilpatrick, I don't pro-
pose to advance farther until I know just what is on my flanks." The
doughty cavalryman looked thoughtful for a moment, and then hurried away
to obtain this highly important information.
Hon. Joseph B. Foraker, United States Senator from Ohio, who was a
member of Slocum's staff on this Campaign, says that Major Moseley, also
of the staff, suggested to Slocum that he should order the advance division
3gO THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA
to charge the enemy and clear the road ; that there could not possibly be
a very strong force in front; that if the General waited for his other forces
to come up a whole day would be lost, and that if it should turn out that
there was nothing in front to justify such caution it would injure the prestige
of the Left Wing. Slocum replied earnestly: "I can afford to be charged
with being dilatory or over cautious, but I cannot afford the responsibility
of a Ball's Bluff affair."*
*See Battles and Leaders of the Civil JVar, Volume IV, p. 693, New York:
The Century Co., 1888.
Also see The Atlantic Monthly, September, 1882, pages 389-400, wherein
Gen. Alexander C. McClurg, who was in Gen. Slocum's command, under
the heading 'The Last Chance of the Confederacy' ably wrote of the Battle
of Bentonville, and the Union forces which there fought the last significant
battle of the war and won a signal victory. It reads in part as follows:
The inhospitable rains of the South had poured down incessantly
and unfriendly mud had met us in every road. Layer after layer of corduroy
had disappeared in the ooze, as each hundred of our heavy wagons passed
over them. The streams, faithful to their States, had risen into torrents,
and swept away our pontoon bridges. Supplies were few, and shoes and
hats and coats had been worn out and lost. The pride and pomp and cir-
cumstance of glorious war had disappeared, and the whole command was
ragged and tattered. Here a Confederate coat and there a Confederate
hat did duty on a Federal back and head, while many a valiant Union
warrior went hatless and shoeless. But a hardier and knottier lot of men
never carried musket or helped a wagon out of the mire. Years of hard-
ship and exposure and fighting had sifted out the weak and the sickly, and
nothing but the toughest material was left. The deeper the mud and the
harder the march, the jollier they were; and a heavier rain pouring down
on them as they went into camp, or a wetter swamp than usual to lie down
in, only brought out a louder volley of jokes. An army of military Mark
Tapleys [See Dickens' 'Martin Chuzzlewit'], they strode onward, uncom-
plaining and jolly under the most difficult circumstances possible.
General Sherman supposed 'all danger was over' [See his Me-
moir s'\.
For once General Sherman had reckoned without his host, and that host
was Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, whose hospitalities Gen. Sherman had known
and respected the year before, in all the long campaign from Chattanooga
to Atlanta. The Confederate president had but recently recalled Gen. John-
ston from undeserved retirement and placed him in command of all the
Confederate troops in that region, with instructions to "concentrate all avail-
able forces, and drive back Sherman." . . The event proved that when
Gen. Sherman supposed 'all danger over' these forces had been, unknown
to him, well concentrated on his left flank and front, and within striking
distance. Once more these two foemen, well worthy of each other's steel,
were to try conclusions; and this time with the odds largely in favor of
the Confederate chieftain.
CJeneral Sherman's army [two armies, called Right and Left Wing] con-
sisted of between fifty-seven and fifty-eight thousand men, not seventy thou-
sand as Gen. Johnston states in his narrative. On the morning of 19 March,
this force was situated as follows: two divisions of the Fourteenth Army
Corps, mustering a little over eight thousand men, and constituting the ad-
vance of the Left Wing, were near Bentonville on the direct road from
Averasboro to Goldsboro. Two divisions of the Twentieth Corps, also about
eight thousand men, had encamped eight miles in the rear of the advance
divisions on the same road — a terrible stretch of almost impassable mire lying
AND THEIR ALLIANCES 39 1
To General Slocum's credit, it should be said that he did what he could
to maintain a proper state of discipline in his own command. Major William G.
Tracy, of his staff, states that "during the March to the Sea, and northward,
so far as was in his power. General Slocum endeavored to restrain unneces-
^ ■ ■■- ■■■-■—.. _■■-_ ■
between the two commands. The two remaining divisions of these Corps
were escorting and guarding the supply trains, some miles further to the
south and rear. The Right Wing was similarly scattered on roads lying
five to ten miles south of , the road on which the Left Wing was advancing.
Gen. Sherman had been marching for several days with the Left and
exposed Wing, and on the night of the i8th [March, 1865] his headquarters,
as well as those of Gen. Slocum, who commanded the Left Wing, had been
pitched within the lines of the Fourteenth Army Corps. On the morning of
the iptli he had determined to ride southward to the Right Wing composed
of the Fifteenth and Seventeenth Corps, and push them on rapidly in ad-
vance to Goldsboro. He did not leave, however, until after the leading
division had moved out and at perhaps half past seven o'clock he and Gen.
Slocum, with Gen. Jefferson C. Davis commanding the Fourteenth Corps,
sat together upon their horses at the cross-roads, listening to the signs of
opposition which already came up from the front. Something impressed the
soldierly instinct of Gen. Davis with the belief that he was likely to en-
counter more than the usual cavalry opposition, and he said as much to
Gen. Sherman. The latter, after listening attentively a moment or two, re-
plied in his usual brisk, nervous, and positive way: "No, Jeff; there is
nothing there but Dibbrell's cavalry. Brush them out of the way. Good
morning. I'll meet you to-morrow morning at Cox's Bridge." And away he
rode, with his slender staff, to join Howard and the Right Wing. It proved
that three days yet lay between us and Cox's Bridge. ....
also that two divisions and a brigade, with a batteryof artillery
— in all, less than ten thousand men of Gen. Sherman's Army — were face
to face with an overwhelming force of the enemy (somewhere between
twenty-five and forty thousand men) who had chosen their own ground,
strengthened it with field-works, and placed their artillery in position. Con-
fident and prepared (to crush the Union army a division at a time) they
awaited the order to advance, while we were deceived and surprised.
Their cavalry in front were stubborn. . . Even the
organized parties of foragers, the historical 'bummers' of Sherman's army, men
who generally made short work of getting through a thin curtain of cavalry,
when chickens and pigs and corn and sweet potatoes were on the other side —
even these renowned troopers fell back, dispirited, behind our skirmishers,
and lined the roadsides. ...........
but General Slocum went energetically to work to prepare for
the most vigorous defensive fighting possible. Every precaution was taken
and the men all along our line were in the act of throwing up hasty field-
works when the attack came upon us like a whirlwind. . . . _
Attack after attack was gallantly met and repulsed.
North Carolina and Virginia colors were captured . . . our troops
fought behind and in front of their hastily built and frail breastworks
there were not men enough to support them on the left
they were there attacked in the rear . . . wheeled
and fought both ways . . . and held their ground
and the golden opportunity of the enemy upon our left was lost.
Considering the great disaster which was imminent, and which was
averted, it is not too much to claim for the Battle of Bentonville by Gen.
Slocum's command, that it was one of the most decisive of the lesser battles
of the war.
392 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA
sary pillage and injury to the inhabitants of the country, but never received
the credit due for such efforts, for he liad but scant sympathy in that regard
from his superior officer."*
General Slocum's Army was disbanded and most of its regiments
mustered out of service at the close of the Civil War. His farewell
to his men who had so nobly answered to his commands, is embraced
in his General Orders, No. 15, dated at Washington, D. C, June
6, 1865. In his Life of General Slocurn Colonel Fox continues:
After a brief leave of absence he returned to Vicicsburg where he assumed
command of the military Department of the Mississippi. Here he exercised his
administrative ability in alleviating so far as possible the unhappy condi-
tions incidental to a long and terrible war, the effects of which had been
especially disastrous to the people in that district. Under his able guidance
a peaceful condition of affairs was soon restored and business was resumed in
all its various branches.
But the position and its duties were in too strong a contrast with his
four years of active life in the field. The routine at Vicksburg became irk-
some and burdensome in the extreme. An intense longing for home and the
attractions of civil life possessed him. He had defended his country well
in its time of trial, and now that there was no further need of his services
he felt at liberty to resign his commission [He resigned September 28, 1865].
A position in the Regular Army suitable to his previous rank and record was
tendered by the Government, but he declined the honor, expressing his high ap-
preciation of this further recognition of his services. After a brief stay
at Syracuse, N. Y., his former home, he moved to the City of Brooklyn, where
Never before, in all the long struggle, had fortune and circumstance so
united to favor the Confederate Gen. Johnston, and never before had hope
shone so brightly with him . . . but, as the sun went down that
night, it undoubtedly carried with it, in the mind of Gen. Johnston at least,
the last hopes of the Southern Confederacy.
In the battle of the first day, out of ten thousand men actually
engaged on our side, we lost during the afternoon 1,200; and Gen. Johnston,
in his narrative, admits a loss on his side of 1,915. In all the fighting of
the next two days, we lost in our whole army a little over 400 men; and
Johnston states his loss at 428. These figures easily show when the severe
fighting was done. . . . It is due to the gallant troops who so
heroically did their duty in that deadly breach, and to the commanding
officers — to Henry W. Slocum, to Jefferson C. Davis, to Morgan and Carlin,
and their brigade commanders — whose cool judgment and quick intelligence
aided to contluct tlie fight to so fortunate an end, that the truth about the
Battle of Bentonville, as about all other battles, should be told; as it has
not been toKi lieretofore about the former.

he soon became connected with business enterprises of an extensive charac-
ter.
Although he had no aspirations for a political life and made no efforts
to promote his interests in this direction, political honors were conferred upon
him. In 1868 his name was placed on the State ticket as a Presidential
Elector; and the next year he was sent to the U. S. Congress from a Brook-
lyn district. He was re-elected in 1870; and in 1883 was elected Congress-
man-at-Large from the State of New York by a flattering majority. In
the discharge of his duties at the National Capitol he paid little attention to
the details of petty legislation, but was always prominently identified with
measures relating to the army, the welfare of the veterans, and the various
questions arising from conditions engendered by the Civil War. He took ac-
tive part in securing the passage of the bill granting a second court of inquiry
in the case of Gen. Fitz John Porter, which resulted in the reinstatement
of that officer in the Regular Army with his former rank and position. In
this generous action he had the concurrence of General Grant and, also,
the approval of every thoughtful student of history. . . ...
General Slocum served three terms in Congress and then, find-
ing that his private business required his entire time and attention, he de-
clined renomination.
In every enterprise entrusted to his management he displayed an ad-
ministrative ability which won the confidence and respect of the entire
business community within which he operated. His success as an executive
officer was demonstrated in the development of the 'Crosstown' surface
railroad system which, under his management became the most profitable
line in the city. He was a large stockholder in other lines, and was Presi-
dent of the Brooklyn and Coney Island Railroad Company
Among other investments which occupied his attention, he was Director
in the People's Trust Company, The Williamsburg City Fire Insurance
Company, the Hecker-Jones-Jewell Milling Company, and the Coombs, Crosby
and Eddy Company.
He served also until his death as a member of the New York State Monu-
ments Commission for the Battlefield of Gettysburg He was a
member of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion, and held for one term
the highest office in the Commandery of New York. . . . Also took promi-
nent interest in the Brooklyn Club.
He served on the Brooklyn Board of Education, and said to his
friends "a man can do more good in helping the children to be taught well
than he can in commanding an army." ....
[He remembered the children in his will; directing that $5,000 be paid
to the Children's Aid Society of Brooklyn, and $5,000 to the Brooklyn Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children].
[He was one of the Trustees of the first New York and Brooklyn Bridge,
and active in other local and general enterprises].
Upon the news of his death the House of Representatives at Washington
394 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA
passed resolutions expressing profound regret, and an acknowledgment of the
loss which the Nation had sustained. Both the Senate and Assembly at
Albany passed similar resolutions, and adjourned as a token of respect,
the lower house having appointed a committee to attend the funeral. The
Common Council of the City of Brooklyn took appropriate action, and or-
dered that business in the public buildings be suspended on the day of the
funeral. The Military Order of the Loyal Legion issued an obituary pamph-
let, and many Posts in the Grand Army of the Republic — some of them in
other States — passed resolutions testifying to the loss which the veterans of
the war had sustained in the death of their friend and advocate.
The funeral was held at the Church of the Messiah, where the exercises
were conducted in accordance with the solemn ritual of the Episcopal service.
On the conclusion of the ceremonies in the Church, the remains were placed
on a gun-carriage and, covered by the flag he so well defended, were es-
corted to Greenwood Cemetery by a large body of troops from the Regular
Army and National Guard, under command of Col. Loomis L. Langdon,
First United States Artillery. The imposing military pageant, with the
funereal music of the bands, made a deep impression on the silent throngs of
citizens who lined the route along which the procession moved. At the
Cemetery four volleys were fired by a battery of artillery, a bugle sounded
'Taps' and the hero was at rest.

Shortly after the death of Gen. Henry Warner Slocum a move-
ment was started to erect a monument to his memory in Brooklyn.
Several meetings were held and were attended by many leading
citizens. It was decided to have the memorial consist of a massive
bronze statue, its location to be chosen by the city authorities. It
was at first intended to raise the funds by popular subscription, but
this idea was abandoned, and the entire matter was taken in charge
by the municipality. A law was enacted in 1895 authorizing an
issue of bonds to erect the statue 'at a cost not to exceed thirty thou-
sand dollars. Frederick MacMonnies, the sculptor, born in Brook-
lyn and having a studio in Paris, was commissioned to mold and
supervise the casting of an equestrian statue. It was completed and
shipped from France late in 1902; and for some time was stored on
the East Side Lands pending the construction of the pedestal. This
work was much delayed. The site of this Monument was located
by the Department of Parks of the Boroughs of Brooklyn and
Queens, City of New York, at the intersection of Eastern Parkway
and Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn ; and its pedestal was there built of
Maine granite, nineteen feet long and eight feet wide. Its height
raises the tip of the General's sword twenty-five feet above the pave-
ment. Bronze chains, artistically wrought, encircle the foundation

from granite posts. The Monument was unveiled with due cere-
monies Memorial Day, 30 May, 1905, with the following pro-
gram excepting the music. Invocation by Rt. Rev. Bishop Frederick
Burgess. Presentation of Statue, Commissioner Michael J. Kennedy.

The family of General Henry Warner Slocum, after his death,
published for private distribution some of the many tributes to his
memory, in an octavo volume of 126 pages. It includes addresses
by Rev. R. S. Storrs, D. D., Maj.-Gen. O. O. Howard, U. S. A.,
Major W. G. Tracy, of his army staff, and Gen. Stewart L. Wood-
ford; Editorials of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, The Brooklyn Stand-
ard-Union, and The Brooklyn Citizen; Resolutions of the U. S.
Congress; of The Legislature of The State of New York, both
Houses; of The Common Council of the City of Brooklyn; of the
Board of Supervisors of Kings County, New York; of the various
companies, orders and institutions of which he had been a member;
also resolutions of various Posts of The Grand Army of The Re-
public, Military Associations, etc., of New York and other States.
It has been the custom for many years, but probably to a greater
degree latterly than formerly, to give the name of a prominent man
to children and to objects, either in honor of the man whose
name is so used or to honor the person or object so named. This
has been the case with the name of General Slocum. Probably the
most enduring object named in his honor, is Fort Slocum, a strong
fortification on an island at the western part of Long Island Sound,
southward from New Rochelle, New York, and guarding the ap-
proach to New York City by the eastern end of East River or
Strait. A large and elegant pleasure excursion steamboat named
General Slocum was very popular about the harbor of New York
City for several years, then was accidentally burned near North
Brother Island, East River, with great loss of life 15 June, 1904.
A Free Kindergarten was established in Brooklyn in 1894 ^"d
named the Slocum Kindergarten in honor of the man who did so
much for the children. A large United States ship for transport-
ing soldiers and army supplies during the Spanish War and since
bears the name Slocum. Also the large, strong United States Army
396 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA
Tug Slocum did good service i8 April, 1906, in taking the battalion
of the 22nd Infantry, U. S. A., from Fort McDowell, Angel Island,
to San Francisco to support the civil authorities and aid the earth-
quake sufferers; also in policing the wharf line. The 23 November,
1906, this U. S. A. Tug Slocum brought the disabled U. S. Trans-
port Sheridan into San Francisco Harbor from the rocks of Barber's
Point, Hawaiian Islands — ^which service brings to mind the saving
of the youth Sheridan for his brilliant career in the U. S. Army during
the Civil War, by the youth Slocum aiding him to make his necessary
grade while they were both cadets at West Point.

AND THEIR ALLIANCES 407
In 1888 he was unanimously elected President of Colorado Col-
lege, and was inaugurated 28 March, 1889. Under his guidance
this college has prospered ; in large increase of endowment, in num-
ber of buildings, in increase of students, and in the range and quality
of requirements. In addition to the arduous work of the presidency
in this development, he has given instruction in ethics, psychology
and general philosophy.
From Colorado Springs President Slocum also did good work for
the State of Colorado, serving five years as President and Organizer
of the State Board of Charities and Corrections, for which work his
sociological studies well fitted him. He took active interest in the
labor question. At the time of the miners' strike at Cripple Creek
he visited the scene of the difficulty and, as a result of his personal
appeal to the leaders, they opened negotiations with the mine owners
and arbitration was finally secured. He also served on the Colorado
State Board of Pardons. He declined candidacy for Governor on
the Republican ticket when election was sure.
In 1893 Amherst College conferred on him the degree of LL. D.,
as did the University of Nebraska in 1894.
The 21 June, 1897, the Trustees of Oberlin College unanimously
offered him the Presidency of that old and strong institution; but
he felt impelled to continue his work so well advanced at Colorado
College, and he declined the tempting offer.
At the International Congress of Arts and Science, St. Louis,
September 19-25, 1904, in the Department of Education, he was
Chairman of the Section on the College.
Early in 1906 he was chosen member of the Board of the Car-
negie Foundation for the Advancement* of Teaching, in succession to
the late President Harper of Chicago University.
The prominent newspapers have commended and published many
of his sermons delivered in the pulpit; also his lectures and writings
on educational subjects. Also his various articles on educational,
sociological and ethical themes, have been published in different lead-
ing periodicals.
It is said of President Slocum, that "in all moral questions his
loyalty to truth is uncompromising, while his Quaker heritage is
plainly discernible in his calmness and evenness of mind and in his
cheerful, kindly nature." The following is excerpted from his in-
augural address at Colorado College:
408 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA
Nothing is of more far-reaching importance than the training of the soul;
the unfolding under healthful discipline of the latent powers which the Creator
has implanted within it. . . True education must ever seek to pro-
duce the perfect man by processes which the eternal wisdom has shown to be
wise; it must seek to fit the individual for his place in life,
whatever that may be, to rightly equip, with heart and mind
turned steadfastly toward the true and the good
All education worthy of the name, must ever seek to so broaden the mental
horizon that narrow prejudice and weak conceptions of right are driven from
the soul, while it also produces that accuracy of mental habit which secures
trustworthiness of judgment and feeling. . . The American college
should be a mental and moral gymnasium; the place where well prepared
students gain intellectual and ethical vigor; where they apply themselves
to a wholesome and rigid course of mental training. Strong, sound, vigorous
training makes strong, sound vigorous men and women. To secure this
end there must be thorough courses of study. . . . The
shallow and superficial course of study makes shallow and superficial
character. ... To learn that "whosoever disbelieves in
science disbelieves in God;" that the indisputable discoveries of
modern investigation have only broadened our religious position and
strengthened it; that only the reverent soul knows the deepest truths
of philosophy— this may and ought to be accomplished in the Col-
lege, . . . The Christian College ought to have the liberty
and persistence . . . to so guide and unfold the young soul that
neither the fallacies of a false philosophy, the important discoveries in science,
nor the broadening interpretations of religious truth shall in after years drive
the student from the peace and usefulness of a deep religious faith.
President Slocum is member of the University Club, Denver, and
of the Tavern Club, Boston, Mass. He gives close attention to
his duties as President of Colorado College, 'the Yale of the West'
at Colorado Springs, Colorado, where he resides in 1907. No
children reported.

Ella Bourne® Slocum {John F.,^ Benjamin T./ Abel,° Sam-

at Fall River, Massachusetts, and was reared from the age of six-
teen years in Chicago, 111. She was educated in the Public Schools
and in a New England boarding school. She inherited a remarkably
good singing voice, and it was cultivated in the United States, Ger-
many and France, latterly with Adelina Patti's teacher. Managers
of opera made offers for her engagement but, deferring to the ad-
vice of her immediate friends, they were declined.
She was married 18 June, 1867, in Chicago to George Mason of
Scotland. This marriage was unfortunate, and it became necessary
for her to procure a divorce.
She married second in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 21 September, 1880,
the Baron Ernest von Jeinsen, of Hanover, Germany. This union
was a happy one. While their home was at the Baron's estate in
Germany, they traveled extensively. He died at Mamaroneck, New
York, 17 March, 1889.
She was married third 8 June, 1892, to Sir Franklin Simmons, of
Leicester, Maine, a noted sculptor residing in Rome, Italy, where
he had a studio many years. Some of his marbles are in the Capitol
at Washington; in Providence, R. I.; Portland, Me.; Detroit,
Mich., and other public galleries; also in private collections here
and abroad. His equestrian statue of General John A. Logan, in
Hancock Circle, Washington, is not only the largest bronze, but
many think it his best work.
He was knighted Chevalier by the King of Italy. He is Dean
of the American Colony in Rome, and their regular social sessions,
and dinners, were looked forward to with much pleasurable antici-
pation by their many friends, American and European.
Mrs. Simmons was not only highly accomplished in music, but in
art, painting, and language, being fluently versed in several tongues.

assuming beautiful form under the skilful touch of her husband, to
adorn and guard the place. Child, by first marriage:

Giles Bryan'' Slocum {Jeremiah,^ Giles,'' Jonathan,^ Joseph,^

toga Tp., Saratoga Co., New York, He went to northwestern Ohio
in 183 1, and found much to do, in wharf building and in trade, at
the new settlement of Vistula on the site of the present Toledo.
He was called home by the death of his father i.i 1832; but, as
soon as practicable the next year he returned to the western
shores of Lake Erie where he had discovered so many opportunities
for his energy. He soon became engaged in the working up of the
great growths of timber, dealing in supplies and in buying land. See
Volume I.
But few years past before he was a large land and sheep owner ;
with other profitable enterprises ever awaiting time that was not
fully taken with the work and business in hand. His methods of
business from the first were most commendable ; always to keep what-
ever he undertook well in hand and never to permit anything to
suffer for want of due attention. The leading principle of his busi-
ness life was to do his business exclusively on his own capital. He
never gave a mortgage, never gave a note; what he could not do with
his own means was left undone; and furthermore, complaint was
never made that he dealt unjustly by any man.
4l6 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA
He took active interest in politics, but did not want office. Was
a member of the first Republican State Convention held in Jackson,
Michigan, in 1854. He was active and influential in the construction
of railroads, and every other enterprise for the development of his
State and Nation.
In 1838 he married Sophia Maria Brigham Truax, who (1906)
survives. See Volume I. Mr. Slocum died 27 January, 1884, at
his home on Slocum Island, Detroit River, near Trenton, Michi-

• •••••••••••« ,
Perhaps no citizen of this borough was better known and more generally
respected than James Slocum ... .he was pleased when he could have
an argument with a young man of his liking. This was a peculiar trait of
his character. He was a great reader, a deep thinker, and had an excellent
memory. No man in this vicinitj' gave closer attention to historical reminis-
cences, and he possessed an excellent library of this class of works
His whole aim in life was to be at the best of everything. ... He was
reared as a Quaker and like those people, ever had a fondness for plainness;
was of reserved disposition, and in a public way declined to allow his name
to be used conspicuously In politics he was an ardent Republican.
• • . • a strong abolitionist. . . . Was always ready and willing to
enter into any enterprise that would prove beneficial to his town. He was
one of the original stockowners in the Second National Bank, and in the
Redstone Cemetery, where his remains were laid. . . .
His attachment to the church, of which he was a liberal supporter, and
his strong convictions of the Scriptural basis of the Prebsyterian faith, were
well known. His forty years of business life in Brownsville, and his eighty
years of residence on earth, have been a tower of strength for all that which
is good and noble in society — a bulwark of defense against that which made
for evil
There has not been in this neighborhood any one life superior for good,
if indeed equal in influence to that of James Slocum. — From obituaries in

Bridge, Northampton Township, Fulton Countj', New York. She
was reared in that county, receiving her education in the Public
Schools. She was married 20 March, 1867, to Henry Clay Bigelow,
son of Alfred and Eliza Ann (Benedict) Bigelow of North Broad-
albin, Fulton Co., N. Y., where he was born 5 April, 1843. They
moved in 1867 to Buda, Bureau County, Illinois, where he conducted
a clothing and banking business until 1874, when they moved to a
large farm three miles southwest of Belvidere, Thayer County, Ne-
braska. Here he took up the business of farming and dealing in live
stock, in which he was successful. He was elected treasurer of
Thayer County and they took residence in Hebron, the seat of gov-
ernment. In August, 1889, health considerations induced their re-
moval to Ogden, Utah, where they have enjoyed better health, with
continued prosperity. Mr. Bigelow organized the Ogden State
Bank, and in 1890 took interest in The Reed Hotel, a large modern
building, in one of the business rooms of which he has conducted

1906, were $1,269,002.73, a good index of the confidence of the
community in its management. The profits were gratifying. Mrs,
Bigelow is a member of the Presbyterian Church, and is justly
proud of her family. Children:

educated in the Public Schools of Nebraska and at the University

educated in the Public Schools of Nebraska ; the University of Ne-

courses in the Chicago University; and in the Chicago Con-
servatory of Music. She was mar. 28 Feb., 1899, at the home
of her parents, to Everett Lewis" Van Meter, b. 4 Feb., i860,
near Lexington, Ky., whose American lineage runs back as fol-
lows: Benjamin F.," Isaac,' Jacob," Isaac," Garret,* Isaac,' Kryn
Jansen,' Jans Gysbertstin' van Meteren, who came from Hol-
land in 1662.* Everett L. was educated at Central University,
Richmond, Ky., and the University of Virginia. He is a com-
mission salesman at the Chicago Stock Yards. They passed the
summer of 1907 in Europe, going as far as Greece and Constanti-
nople, and returned to their residence in Chicago the latter part
of September. Mrs. Van Meter is a member of the Presbyterian
Church. She states the characteristics of Mrs. Bigelow, her
mother, as follows: "It has ever been her heart's desire to en-
courage and further every worthy ambition of her children. Her
filial devotion and early maternal duties narrowed her own
sphere, and deprived a wider circle of the inspiration of a rare
personality. Owing to this circumstance, perhaps, or to the
eager craving of her mind for the highest standards of ex-
cellence, she embraced every opportunity to secure for me the
advantages of a university education, supplemented by music and
by travel to Europe and the Orient. To those nearest to her
her life is an epic of fine striving and fine achievement. It em-
bodies all that is best; that is most worth while. Her children
may in fact call her 'blessed . . . who openeth her mouth
with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.'"

The deceased leaves a wife and many friends, but no children, to
mourn his death.
"Doctor Slocum came to Orlando about 1883 from Shelbyville,
Indiana, and settled south of the city, where he and his wife built a
good lakeside home and where they have lived quietly ever since save
the four years of President Harrison's administration, 1889-93, dur-
ing which he was United States Surveyor General of Florida, when
they lived in Tallahassee.
"The deceased was a gentleman of the old school, highly educated,
prepossessing in appearance and manner, polished, courteous and kind,
and one who won friends from every walk of life. For many years
he was a consistent member of the Presbyterian Church, in which
faith he lived and died." Orange County Reporter, Orlando,

and Kappa, Illinois, Joseph W* Slocum, in the 52nd year of his
age. He was born in Fulton County, New York, and in 1857 moved
to the vicinity of Brimfield, Illinois, where he lived a quiet, unassum-
ing life as a farmer, respected and liked by all his neghbors and
friends, until the breaking out of the Southern Rebellion, when, loyal,
brave and obedient to his country's call, he enlisted and for three
years served as a common soldier in the 77th Regiment of Illinois
Volunteers. In 1876 he moved to his late residence, two and a half
miles south of El Paso. .......
♦This W was used in later life to distinguish him from his uncle Joseph

"In his ever>^day relations with his neighbors, Mr. Slocum was
singularly quiet and unobstrusive, yet his whole life was an example
of well-directed energy, force and decision, and by his mildness and
quietness, his morality and good works, he accomplished more of good
for the world, for mankind generally, and for his family, than the
man of great professions could ever do. His life was like a deep
river which flows strongly yet quietly along.
"Although far from three score and ten years his life was fairly
rounded out, and having done his duty as he saw it, he was ready
when the summons came to join the innumerable caravan." . .

Charlotte May^° Slocum {Eleazer,^ Caleb W.,^ Joseph,' Elea-
zer,^ John,^ Eleazer,^ Eleazer^ Giles^ Anthony,^) born at Grand
Rapids, Michigan. Her education began with her mother, an ex-
perienced school teacher, and was continued in the Public Schools
of Illinois, completing the higher courses offered at Brimfield. At
the age of sixteen years she entered the State Normal University, at
Normal, 111., and after an interrupted course, due to one year of
teaching and another year of ill health, was there graduated 19
June, 1894. She had prepared herself specially as a primary teacher,
the most important in the school work, and during the next five
years she ably taught primary classes in the Public Schools of Evan-
ston. III. During one of these summer vacations she accompanied
her uncle. Dr. Charles Elihu Slocum (with whom she resided during
much of her illness, and who had been much interested in her educa-
tion) to Niagara Falls, the Thousand Islands of the St- Lawrence,
down this river to Montreal and Quebec, thence to the White Moun-
tains and Boston, where they attended the Fiftieth Anniversary Meet-
ing of The American Association for the Advancement of Science, with
excursions in and about Boston from Salem and Concord to Ply-
mouth ; returning home by way of New York, Philadelphia, Wash-
ington, etc.
In September, 1899, she was called, to the regret of the Evanston
Board of Education, to the Eastern Illinois State Normal School
(the buildings of which were then just completed at Charleston) as
Primary Critic in the Training School. This position she held six
years. In the summer vacation of 1901 she again visited New York
with her uncle. Doctor Slocum, and attended the Annual Meeting
of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, in the
new buildings of Columbia University. During the following sum-
mer she was employed as teacher in the Summer Schools of the State
Normal, and as instructor in County Teachers' Institutes, thus teach-
ing ten weeks some summers; in the summer of 1902 attending the
Summer School of Harvard University instead.
426 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA
During these years she attained high repute throughout the State
as an educator; was chosen to various offices in The Northern, The
Eastern, and Ilh'nois State Teachers' Associations, and in the Primary
Section of the State Association. She was also member of The
National Teachers' Association; and retains membership in the State
Boards of the Illinois Congress of Mothers, in which organizations
she has done much work among mothers which should show for
good to the children of succeeding generations. She has also done
good work as member of The Methodist Episcopal Church, and of
The Young Women's Christian Association.
Resigning her proud position with the State, she was married I2
September, 1905, at the home of her mother, and grandfather, Will-
iam Cowley, near Brimfield, by Rev. Snedeker, to George Cromwell
Ashman, born ig August, 1869, near Frankfort, Indiana, son of
George and Mary Ellen (Leslie) Ashman, farmers. He attended
the Public Schools and, when older, worked on the farm summers.
In September, 1886, he entered Wabash College, Crawfordsville, Ind.
After two years study here he taught three terms in the country
schools near his home. In 1892 he returned to Wabash College,
and was here graduated B. S. in June, 1895. The next school year
he also passed here as assistant in chemistry, and doing graduate
work. In September, 1896, he took a position as teacher of chem-
istry and physics in The Frankfort, Indiana, High School, continuing
in this place until December, 1901, when he became Principal of the
Department of Chemistry in The Bradley Polytechnic Institute,
Peoria, 111., in affiliation with The University of Chicago, which
position he now (1907) holds. He has pursued advanced work in The
University of Chicago during his summer vacations from teaching,
and was there graduated M. S. in 1905. Wabash College conferred
the degree of A. M. on him in 1906. His graduate course at the Uni-
versity of Chicago for the Doctorate of Philosophy is nearly com-
pleted (1907). He is member of The Indiana Academy of Science,
The Indiana Association of Science Teachers, The Central Associa-
tion of Science and Mathematics Teachers and The American Chemi-
cal Society.
Prof, and Mrs. Ashman reside in Peoria, 111.

akomplisht with moderat, kontinuus outlay — the owner ov this ko-
lekshon beleving it best to own the obtanibl buks nesesary for mental
expanshon rather than be dependant upon the naborz or a publik
library. Hiz library kontanz somthing relating to every sub-
jekt — buks, jeneral and speshal on the diferent fazez ov anthropolojy,

lating to speshal siens hav bin regularly resevd.
Being at grat distans from larj librariz, it waz nesesary to pur-
chas the buks neded ; and being in sympathy with the beter methods
ov modern bukmaking, and ov siens, he haz endevord to gather
the best buks ilustrativ ov such methods. Litl if any atenshon haz

sum bindings ar posest, but jeneraly a gud kloth binding haz bin
preferd to any other kind for its beter withstanding atmosferik,
parasitik and other deleterius efekts.
This privat library haz bin frely open to the publik, and many per-

selekting buks for eny line ov referens or study. The buks wer aranjd

Realizing that many ov thez buks had servd their purpos to him,
and that tha might hav a wider usefulnes elswher, their oner began
their distribushon in the yer 1905. Sum went to personal f rends ho

Hon. Elliott Truax^° Slocum (Giles B.,^ Jeremiah/ Giles,''
Jonathan,^ Joseph/' Giles/ Sa/nuel/ Giles/ Anthony/) was born 15
May, 1839, near the Village of Trenton, Wayne County, Michigan,
and was there reared. He was prepared for college at the Rev. Moses
H. Hunter's School for Boys on Grosse Isle, Detroit River, near his
home.* He entered Union College, Schenectady, New. York, and
*Rev. Moses Hoge Hunter held diplomas from Yale and Princeton. He
was an Episcopal minister in charge of the chapel on Grosse Isle, but his
duties there gave him time for teaching a select school for boys. This
school was patronized by wealthy residents of Detroit, Adrian, Toledo, Cleve-
land, etc. The teacher was a good disciplinarian and succeeded in getting
the respect and good will of his pupils. T/ie Detroit Free Press of July 29,
1906, printed a long article regarding this teacher and the boys in attendance
in 1855, and the compact signed by fourteen of them to meet there again after
twenty years. This meeting was so enjoyable they resolved to meet again
after ten years. Rev. Hunter went in 1861 to the Civil War as chaplain
of the Third Pennsylvania Cavalry. He returned to Grosse Isle and was
in charge of the chapel there at the first reunion of these 'boys' now men, in
1875. In this year he accepted a call to St. Mary's, Maryland, but his^ former
pupils of the compact brought him back for their reunion in 1885. Other re-
unions were held after the master was unable to attend; and the attendance
440 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA
was there graduated A. B. in 1862. In 1869 he received the degree
of Master of Arts from the University of Michigan.
After leaving college he assisted his father in looking after their
large land, lumber and farming interests, which they enlarged and
extended until they became widely extended and valuable. Mean-
time, with his father, he was active in raising men and money for
their equipment against the Southern Rebellion.
Since the death of his father in 1884, Mr. Slocum has continued
these landed interests. He has large tracts of timber and other lands
in Wayne, Muskegon, Oceana, Newaygo and Kent Counties, Michi-
gan, and is the owner of large tracts of valuable timbered lands in
upper Michigan and Wisconsin.
In 1887 he platted the Village of Slocum's Grove, now Slo-
cum Postoffice, which is situated by Crockery Creek in the
midst of one of his large tracts of timber in Muskegon County. A
large lumber mill, also a planing mill, and charcoal kilns, are (1907)
in operation there.
His first vote was cast for Abraham Lincoln, and he has since been
a stanch Republican. Has served as delegate to many State Con-
ventions. In 1869 he was elected State Senator from the Third
District, which was strongly Democratic; and he has taken active
part in many other Senatorial contests for his party.
He was married 30 July, 1872, to Charlotte Gross Wood, daugh-
ter of the late Ransom E. Wood, an old resident and capitalist of
Grand Rapids, Michigan. Mrs. Slocum's name appears as the
founder of the Slocum Lectures in the University of Michigan,
1894. Those by Robert Afton Holland on The Commonwealth of
Man, were published by the Putnams in 1905. Mrs. Slocum died
6 June, 1 89 1, of cancer, in Dresden, Saxony, where she found no
relief from her affliction.
In 1884 Mr. Slocum succeeded his father as trustee of the Sara-
toga Monument Association, New York, and with George William
Curtis, S. S. Cox, John H. Starin, and others, took active part in
the erection of one of the most artistic monuments In existence, on
grew less and less in 1890, and 1900. A meeting was called for 1905 but
the enfeebled health of the members at a distance prevented; and in 1906 the
death of A. M. Wilcox, on Catalina Island, Calif., left Mr. Slocum the only
survivor. Much was done by Mr. Slocum, and a few other members of the
compact, to relieve the wants of their ohl master, also of the matron, Mrs.
White, in charge of their lodgings on Grosse Isle while pupils, in their de-
clining years.

the Battlefield of the British Army's surrender by General Bur-
goyne in 1777. This is at Schuylerville, Saratoga County, New
York, near the home of Mr. Slocum's grandfather's family.
Elliott T. Slocum was one of the first Directors of The Chi-
cago and Canada Southern Railroad, now part of the Michigan Cen-
tral system, and he did much to secure a right of way for it. He
was one of the organizers, and vice president of The First National
Bank of Whitehall, Michigan, at which place he yet has large in-
terests. In 1886 he was appointed Park Commissioner of Detroit,
and was in turn Commissioner, Vice-President and President of the
Board for several years, doing much for Detroit's beautiful Belle
Isle, and other parks. In 1896 he was appointed by Governor Rich,
Inspector of the Michigan Military Academy of Orchard Lake.
He is a stockholder in several of the leading banks, and other
corporations in Michigan, and in 1907 a Director in the Union Trust
Company, of Detroit. Is member of the Detroit Club, Michigan
Club, Country Club, Fellowcraft Club, Bankers' Club, Church Club,
Comedy Club, University Club, etc. ; member of The American His-
torical Association ; Sons of The American Revolution ; Society of
Colonial Wars, and of the University of Michigan Association.
Mr. Slocum has two homes; one in Detroit, and the other on
Slocum Island in the Detroit River, about sixteen miles below the
city. He has no children.

Stephen was then of 'Sampson County' and this land is situated near

*It is reported of this lawyer William King Slocumb that, when he was
defending a man who was unduly accused, and the public interest was con-
siderably aroused regarding the case, he became so annoyed by the loud and
severe statements of the State's Attorney against his client in the closing ad-
dress to the jury, that he hurried from the Court Room and, seeing a large
fierce-looking bull hitched in front, he loosed the chain holding him, jumped
on his back and guided him into the hall of the Court House where the animal
bellowed fiercely, raising his voice far above that of the State's Attorney. Every-
one present at the trial, including the judge, court officers and jury, alarmed,
rushed to the stairs and at once discovering the situation, became so con-
vulsed with laughter and good humor that a verdict of 'not guilty' was
declared by the jury as soon as sufficient quiet could be restored. The story
of this trial is yet told by the old men of the vicinity in' Sampson County,
North Carolina.

infancy; two sons, aged i8 and i6 years, were killed by the
sawing-mill boiler explosion 3 Jan., 1889, and he, the father, was
so injured by it that he died three days later, aged 52 years.
This report was received from his daughter, Mamie, at Clinton,

THE SLOCOMBS OF AMERICA
"I am the oldest one of the name in this County [Wayne] and only
know of my grandfather, Jesse, and my great-grandfather, Ezekiel . . .
I have nothing but tradition for the statement that our ancestors immigrated
from England somewhere in 1680 or 1690, and as I said in a previous letter,
settled near Newbern on a creek which flows into Neuse River, and still
bears their name."
The tradition has lost with time, and now applies only to the mi-
gration from the Albemarle to the Neuse River region; and the
writer's letters to him mentioning the great success attending his
searches, calls forth no response! See ante Families I, lA and on-

In consideration of that parental love and affection that I bear toward my

454 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA
A Captain Simon Slocomb was a member of the House of As-
sembly, Province of Nova Scotia, Canada, 4 December, 1759. If
Captain Simon, ^ Family 666, was living at this date, he was probably
eighty years or more of age, and the writer sees no objection to
identifying Capt. Simon- as this Assemblyman. In later years Simon-
was a farmer. Late in life he went to live with his son Achilles in
Templeton, where he died, 12 March, 1790. His estate was ad-
ministered by his son Samuel. See Volume I, page 500. Children,

probably by a Bible reader who thought the form Apelles an error.

church edifice.
After doing missionary work for some months in Maine, he was

Rev. Joel Byron" Slocum {Joel,^ Joshua t/./ John,^ John,'^
Simon ^) v\'as born i February, 1868, on a farm near Mount Han-
ley, Nova Scotia, Canada. When quite young he went to Boston,
Massachusetts, and was employed as a clerk in a large publishing
house. He brought a church letter from home, and Avith it joined
The Tremont Temple Church, Boston.
He saved his earnings; entered The Worcester, Mass., Academy
for one year, and completed his college preparatory work in the Bos-
ton School of Languages. He was graduated at Colby College,
Waterville, Maine, in 1893; was chaplain of his college class, class
historian, and commencement speaker. He entered New^ton Theo-
logical Institute in 1893, and was there graduated in 1896.
He was ordained as a Christian minister by a Council called by
The Tremont Temple Baptist Church, 19 June, 1896. He filled
a pulpit in Westbrook, Maine, for some months. Was married in
Brookline, Mass., 3 February, 1897, ^'^ Jean Irene Bergland, born
16 October, 1865, in Galesburg, Illinois, daughter of Lewis and
Hanna (Ericson). She was graduated at Knox College, Galesburg,
and the Chicago and Boston Schools of Orator}'. She became a
public humorous and dramatic reader, and traveled extensively as such
before her marriage.
In June, 1897, Colby College gave him the degree of A. M. This
year he accepted the pastorate of The First Baptist Church, Laconia,
New Hampshire. In 1898 he was called to The First Baptist
Church, Concord, N. H., as successor of Dr. Cephas B. Crane. Dur-
ing this pastorate he was chosen Chaplain of the New Hampshire
Legislature. He also occupied important positions in the Baptist
work in this State. In the summer of 1899 Mr. and Mrs. Slocum
went abroad, making a special visit to Japan as correspondent of the
Boston Traveler newspaper. Returning to his pulpit in Concord,
he gave some attention to lecturing in connection with his regular

work ; also made addresses at religious conventions both in and out
of the State.
Rev. Slocum read his resignation at Concord 27 September, 1903,
to accept call to The First Baptist Church, Columbus, Ohio, the
hrst of November. Here he remained until the spring of 1907, re-
<5igning to accept call to one of the leading Baptist Churches in
Jrooklyn, New York, The Greenwood, with 700' members, and a
Sunday School of 775. During his pastorate in Columbus, there was
a substantial increase in membership, and he left the church in good
healthy condition. One of the leading newspapers of Columbus at
this time reads in part as follows:
The loss of a minister of the gospel so forceful, so energetic
and untiring in his efforts to help every member of his congre-
gation, will be deeply felt by every member of his flock and, in
fact, by every church worker in the city. During his stay in Columbus, Rev
Mr. Slocum won a multitude of friends. In all his endeavors here he was
ably seconded by the efforts of his wife, who was a leader in the missionary
and other church work of the Baptist circles of the city.

Capt. Joshua'^ Slocum (Jolin,^ Joshua U.,* John,^ Johnr
Simon,'^) was born in Wilmot Township, Annapolis County, Nova
Scotia, Canada, 20 February, 1844. A seafaring man from early
life. See Volume I, page 551. He married Virginia Walker in
Sidney, New South Wales, Australia, in January, 1871. She died
in 1885, at Buenos Ayres Roads, Brazil; was buried there in the
English Cemetery. Was married second in 1886, Boston, Mass., to
Henrietta M. Elliot, daughter of Charles and Ruth, of Port George,
Nova Scotia.
His first command on the high seas was along the coast of Cali-
fornia in 1869; sailed for thirteen years from San Francisco to China,
Australia, the Spice Islands and Japan. During these years he was
a close student of nautical astronomy and marine architecture.*
*In 1881 he was Master and part owner of the good ship. Northern Light,
(see Volume I) and, in Oceanica 10 December, 1882, he picked up five
natives of the Gilbert Islands who had been drifting about in a small frail
craft before the Monsoon forty days, barely subsisting on a scant supply of
dried fruit and the little rainwater they could catch. Seven of the twelve who

Possessing a good degree of natural ingenuity, he readily put his
studies and observations to practical use, and built some superior
boats, among which were a steamer of 90 tons register at Olongapo,
Subig Bay, Luzon, Philippine Islands, in 1874; the Liberdade; and
the Spray of nine tons register which has made him famous as a dar-
ing and successful navigator, even 'The King of Many Waters.' He
built the Spray at Fairhaven, Massachusetts, in 1892; and he com-
pleted a voyage around the world in it alone in 1898, wholly with
sails.
Captain Slocum is a pleasing and forceful writer, and as his de-
scriptions of his voyages are very entertaining and instructive, they
have been widely read. They are published as follows, viz: The
Voyage of the Liberdade from Brazil to New York, 189 1 ; Voyage
of the Destroyer J 1894. This was a Brazilian war vessel which he
commanded from New York to Brazil. His book Sailing Alone
Around the World, New York, 1900, first published in The Century
Magazine, 1899, 1900, won for the brave Captain high honors at
home and abroad. Among the high commendations, the writer can-
not refrain from quoting the following from a personal letter to Cap-
tain Slocum from Edwin Arnold, dated London, January 7, 1901,
which reads in part, viz. :
. . . . I admire beyond measure the heroism and splendid self reliance of
your unparalled feat, and have put you not only in my gallery of heroes, but
in my heart as a man I love for showing what men can do. Never will your
achievement be surpassed until we all sail together across those wider and
even more wonderful seas that separate planet from planet, and star from
star. . . .
Captain Slocum has an article in the Outing magazine of March,
1906, entitled 'Bully Hayes, the Last Buccaneer.' A sketch of him
with portrait appeared in Outing October, ig02, written by C.
Johnson.
He has also won high commendations as a lecturer. In 'Twelfth
Night Revels' written for the Twentieth Century Club, New York,
January 7, 1901, appears the following tribute to him:
had started for a neighboring island had perished 'from thirst' (?). Captain
Slocum and his good wife nursed them back to health, clothed them, and
finally succeeded in getting them back to their island, Apamana. Captain
Slocum, in transmitting the photograph from which the accompanying en-
graving is made, quotes from Sindbad the Sailor the expression of such humane
acts "for the sake of God, whose Name be Exalted."

Remember all the questions of the day
We've heard discussed in such a trenchant way,
By men who with such knowing wisdom wrought,
As made us masters of the things they taught.
Ah, yes ! who will may summon at their ease
A host of fascinating memories!
And two there are — which I confess for me
Stand to the fore — the sunny memory
Of Captain Slocum, whose naive surprise
At his own Yankee wit, danced in his eyes
And lighted up his genial, kindly face.
The while he told with such delightful grace
The tale of his lone voyage around the world.
The other, that of Edward Everett Hale —
Who'll e'er forget that wondrous inner light
That seemed to shine in look and mien, that night
He spoke to us with such rare eloquence?
The Captain is, withal, a modest man. His last communication
to the writer, transmitting the record of his family, shows this, and
that he retains his love for the excellent sailing qualities of his fav-
orite and widely famed sloop, viz. :
On board the Spray, Block Island, R. I., Nov. 15th, 1906.
Doctor Charles E. Slocum, Defiance, Ohio.
Dear Doctor Slocum. — My mails have not reached me on time of late, hence
the delay in my reply to your circular.
Your first book, which came to me at Yokohoma, Japan, years ago, was
a work to be proud of. I regret that I have not been able to be, myself, a
better subject among my kin — to have added an interesting line.
Very sincerely,
Joshua Slocum.

(jEorge' Sloco.mbe, with surname spelled Slacum (give broad

writer earliest recorded in the Archives of Maryland, viz.:

examined for bringing the Cage Whipping post pillory and Stone from
London Tovvne to Annapolis referred to the County for his pay being the
proper goods of the County.

It is inferred that this. George Slocombe became Master at Arms
of the Maryland Assembly, as the record reads in volume xxvi of
the Archives in part as follows:
1705, May 25. . . . It is ffurther Remarqd that the Hon: ble Mr
Tench Col Addison Mr Brooks Mr Cheseldjn and Mr Coursey are not al-
lowed for their Attendance in Councill this or the last Session of Assembly

Prorogations between Septr & December nor any thing for your Copy of

to the Members coming to the Assembly. . . .
1700, March 20. George Slacom sold his house and lot. No. 40,
in Annapolis, Md., to Amos Garrett.
He was granted land in Dorchester County, Md., as follows:
1 713, Nov. 24. In tract called "Priviledge, manor of Nanticoke,
174 acres."
*This question of naturalization of these two men is repeated several times
in different parts of the records, and was apparently agreed to different
times. The question was finally settled in the affirmative at the session of
April 26 to May 9, 1700. The exceptions made from time to time are not
definitelv stated; but their foreign birth — outside the realm of Great Britain
— is the inferred cause. Many English children were born in foreign ports,
on shipboard and in cities. The names in question are both English, and
tlie parentage English, on the father's side at least, but these men may not
have had ready proof of British citizenship.

George- Slocombe {George,^) surname often written Slocum,
was born about the beginning of the i8th century, in Maryland. He
received grants of land in old Dorchester County as follows: in 1740,
1747, when he went before the court and "set forth that his father,
George Slacum, 10 Sep., 17 16, received Grant for parcel of land
called Priviledge, 174 acres under New Rent, and by his Will"

being for 422 acres of the tract called 'Slacombs Cow Pasture.'
He deeded land in old Dorchester County, 14 January, 1785, for
the consideration of £246 los gold 'or silver money of equal value.'
No account of his death has been found. Perhaps he followed his
sons to Pennsylvania, after the sale of his land mentioned above.

in part that: . . . "It is said Clarkson bears a very ill
character as to holding a communication with & carrying men in
his boat to the Tenters. And we have just now been informed
that one Job Slacom Jr of this County [Dorchester] will prove
that Clarkson endeavored to persuade him & some others to
go with him on board the Tenders and join Lord Dunmore, but
as the guard was setting off with the Prisoners we could not
delay them until we sent a summons for Slacom. There were
several other persons apprehended in this County on suspicion of
being unfriendly and having a communication with the enemy,
but upon our enquiring into their conduct, we could fix nothing
criminal on them & therefore discharged them." . . . — Ar-

ceived deed to land in the adjoining County of Worcester, Maryland,
16 November, 1779, being parts of tracts known as Convenience, and
Peep Branch. This land was deeded 22 July, 1791, by his son
Thomas to his (Thomas') brother William. His son Thomas gave,
22 July, 1 79 1, Bill of Sale to his brother William for "all goods
devised by his father, Robert Slocomb of Somerset Co., Md., April

Capt. Cuthbert Harrison^ Slocomb {Samuel B.,^ Willia/n/
Robert/ Robert C./)was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. He mar-
ried Miss A — Day, who was there born .
He enlisted in the Confederate Army for the Civil War, going out
in 1862 in charge of the Fifth Company, Battalion of the Washington
Artillery, New Orleans, through Tennessee ; defense of New Or-
leans, etc. Their last stand was at Spanish Fort near Mobile, where
his command was given charge of a Columbiad, cast in the Con-
federate foundry at Selma, Alabama, in 1863. The Federal forces
captured the Confederate forces here in April, 1865.*
*The later interest taken in the columbiad cannon, of Capt. Slocomb's com-
mand, inclines the writer to sketch its historj'. The cannon is ten feet long,
two feet in diameter at the breech, has a bore of eight inches, and is forty
inclies in circumference at the muzzle. It was well mounted, with three em-
brasures to fire to the front, left and right. Capt. Slocomb's command was very
proud of the handsome cannon and, in honor of their captain's wife, they
named it Lady Slocomb, which name is yet in use. This gun was fired
144 charges; consumed 1,440 pounds of powder, and threw 7,592 pounds of
iron, and it was without molecular expansion or depreciation when her mount-
ings were disabled — and along the e:itire two miles of Confederate batteries
"there was no gun which did near so much execution as did 'Lady Slocomb'."
Three Federal shot disabled her: one struck the carriage, one broke the trun-
nion, and one broke the elevating screw. Fifteen men were killed and wounded,
of the command of this gun, during this siege. The remaining members of
Captain Slocomb's command, when it was disabled, rolled the gun off the
embankment into a 'slush hole' and covered it, that it might not fall into Fed-
eral hands.
'Lady Slocomb' The Historic Gun of Spanish Fort
Deep in the grass that greener grew.
That once it was stained a crimson hue.
The old gun lay 'neath the sun and the dew.
Like a warrior in his mail;
Prone on the field where war's high-tide
Had stranded it, yet with voiceless pride
It guarded the spot where men had died,
Who had rather die than fail.
It guarded the trenches which scarred the hill.
Like furrows of tears, and saw them fill
With waves of jessamine flowers, until
The frown of the field was gone;
And it watched 'till the men who clinched in the fray,
The brothers in Blue and the brothers in Gray,
Clasped hands o'er the Gun which liad thundered that day.
True Sentry — your vigil is done.

The sentiment regarding this interesting relic increased. It was moved
from its seclusion in late years and carried to Mobile, seven miles west across
the Bay, where it was purchased by Henry Badger, a prominent Confederate
of that place, who had served through the war, and knew of the excellence

Captain Slocomb was a dealer in improved live stock, particularly
horses, and he built a race course at New Orleans. He there died
about 1880. Mrs. Slocomb has passed some summers at Groton, Con-
necticut. They had one child, viz.:
Cora Ann Slocomb, born in New Orleans, Louisiana. She married Count
di Brazza-Savorgnan, of Italy. They attended The World's Columbian Ex-
position, Chicago, 1893, together, where he represented his country, Italy,
in the Agricultural Congress, and she lectured on Life of the Italian Women in
the Country, and served as President of The Committee of Italian Ladies
Formed for the Exhibition of Italian Laces. Their exhibition, given in the
Women's Building, was large, interesting and valuable in different senses.
There were fifty-seven exhibitors, who received thirty-three medals, and the
Countess Cora Slocomb di Brazza received medal for the collection of antique
lace, and another for her book especially written for the occasion entitled.
Old and New Lace in Italy, 'a learned treatise on textile art.' She is a
pleasing, forceful writer. She published in 1896 a i2mo volume of 244
pages entitled An American Idyll, Boston, The Arena Publishing Company.
In 1897 she was one of the prime movers in the International Peace Ar-
bitration Movement, lecturing in Chicago in its interest. Its offices are in
Washington, D. C, and Bern, Switzerland.
Count di Brazza was President of The International Postal Union in 1897.

of the gun, and of the sentiment surrounding it. It soon came into possession
of The Blue and Gray Veterans' Union of Mobile, Alabama, which Union
was happily organized 4 July 1890, on the Battlefield of Spanish Fort and
Blakely for the following purposes, viz.:
"To aid and foster fraternal feelings between those opposed to each other
during the Civil War; to discourage everything that shall tend to arouse
the animosities of the past; to keep green the memories of our heroic dead;
to meet in reunion annually, and to take measures to effect the erection of
a monument commemorative of the valor of American soldiers, and the last
battle of the war — Spanish Fort and Blakely — to be known as the Peace
Monument, and erected in Mobile, Ala."
Upon learning of the action of The Blue and Gray Veterans' Union of
Mobile, The Veterans of Slocomb's Battery, " Fifth Company, Battalion of
Washington Artillery, New Orleans," wrote to the Secretary of The United
States Treasury, Washington, D. C, setting forth their sentimental claim to,
and petitioning the right to purchase ' The Lady Slocomb,' which, at official
headquarters, Washington, had become registered as Derelict, R. S. 3755.
The Veterans' Union also presented their sentimental claim, and right to the
cannon by purchase. After much correspondence and evidence, it was decided
that 'The Lady Slocomb" be given into possession of The Battalion of Wash-
ington Artillery, New Orleans.

When Cuthbert was ten years of age, his father's negroes left him,
from President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation; then an acci-
dental fire destroyed his dwelling, all of which necessitated active
work of the members of the family and less educational advantages.
Starting out for himself, he went to Hannibal, Mo., in March,
1881 ; and to Texas in March, 1882. He remained here, and in In-
dian Territory, until 1892, when he returned to Virginia and en-
gaged in mercantile business in Onancock. This business he sold,
and established himself in Pocomoke City, Va., as bricklayer and con-
tractor. Here he m. 25 Dec, 1895, Mary Irene Schoolfield, b.

*23 Park Way, Princess Avenue, Liverpool, England, October 12, 1901.
Mv Dear Nephew, Edwin M. Slocombe: — I was pleased to hear from
you, although I fear I cannot help you much — but my aunt Mary Reed told
me that she visited her grandmother, who lived in Crenkern, Somerset, whose
first husband was the father of Henry Slocombe my grandfather. She (Mrs.
Slocombe) was a sister of one Colonel Murray, who figured largely in Par-
liament, and who is still much admired by the Scotch. He is mentioned in
history (I forgot where I read it) and the Edinburgh School Board use a
book of history in which he is mentioned. The Murrays were illegitimate
children of [King] James. One or two of that clan are dukes. So, now,
we have Mary Murray. I think my great-grandfather was Henry Slocombe,
who died, and Mrs. Slocombe married a second time to a Mr. Potter, of
Crenkern. I cannot find out more than this now. If I can I will do so.
Enclosed is our crest or coat of arms, etc., etc. Your aunt,
Mary Dobson.

was residing in Syracuse, N. Y.
His father was the youngest of twenty-one children, all of whom
"were obliged to shift for themselves at a very early age, with no edu-
cation whatever. This accounts for the fact that they did not know

ney's father was "an honest, hardworking man ;" had but five child-
ren, two of whom died in infancy. Of those remaining in 1892,
Caroline lived in London, Eng., and Sidney's younger brother lived

Evidence regarding the wisdom of General Henry W. Slocum's
General Order against the organization of Mississippi State Troops
during his command of the Department of the Mississippi (see page
392) is given in McClure's Magazine, pages 44 to 49, for May,
1908, article entitled First Days of the Reconstruction, by Carl
Schurz.
An Historical Monument of White Bronze, hight over sixteen
feet, was erected in 1908 by Charles E. Slocum, Family 618, on a
plat in the new Hill Cemetery, Northville, New York, which
embraces the remains of four generations of Slocums, who in their
lives contributed to the clearing of the land and to the development
of the beautiful village which has been a summer resort of city
people. The entire American lineage is given on the Monument,
with sketch of each family from Anthony^, and children of each
family, through Eleazer*^, Family 117, the first of the four genera-
tions there buried, with and from which Family more of detail is
given, through his son Joseph', Family 249, and grandson Caleb
W.'^, Family 481, with his eleven children. Mention is made of
the principal events in the life of each of the nine generations, includ-
ing those deceased of Family 481.
A lifesize figure of Hope caps the Monument, all parts of which
are proportionate with artistic design.
The inscriptions are very plain, throughout their great extent.
The Monument is immediately surrounded with a cement walk,
and like walks lead from the edges of the plat to each of the four
faces, affording convenient approaches and pleasant standing places
for the numerous visitors who desire to observe every detail — each
visitor going away with report of a Monument w^'th new and great
significance.
