SLOCUM FAMILY. Anthony Slocum, the founder of the branch of the Slocum family herein mentioned, which is among the old and honored families of the colonial period. appears to have been one of the forty-six first and ancient purchasers, A. D., 1637, of the territory on Cohannet which was incorporated March 3. 1639. with the name of Taunton. in New Plymouth, now Massachusetts. and from which the present townships of Taunton, Rzynham and Berkley have been organized.

The interests of the small purchasers were in the ratio of six, eight and twelve, Anthony Slocum purchasing eight shares. His name also appears in various other records in August. 1643. He appears in a list of all males, fifty-four in number, from sixteen to sixty years of age. within the township of Taunton. that were able to bear arms; June 10, 1651, as a juryman: June 6, 1654. as one of the two surveyors of highways: June 3, 1657, as a freeman. and was admitted to court, June 7, 1659, in the list of twenty persons sworn as the Grand Enquest; December 28, 1651, in the list of names of the township of Taunton who were to have their division of land, now agreed upon this day whose portion is to be according to the rate here following, together with the quantity of land, two lots and two heads at two acres to the head, two acres to the shilling, and two acres to the lot. Under this agreement he was recorded with a rating of nineteen shillings and four pence, six heads and fifty-three acres. June 3. 1662, he was one of two surveyors of highways for Taunton, and this is the last date his name appears as a resident of Taunton. When he disposed of his rights in Taunton to Richard Williams he then settled near Pascamanset river. which has since been known as Slocum's river. His name does not appear in any of the exact lists of all freemen in Dartmouth made from time to time and dating as early as May 29. 1670. This was probably due to his union with the Society of Friends. There has been preserved a fragment of a letter written by one Anthony Slocum. in Dartmouth, to his brother-in-law, William Harvey, as follows;

To the Church of Christ in Taunton, Mr. Shore (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, sons and daughter. Martha (married John Gilbert), who hath four sons, remember our respects and love, and etc.

From the above we would infer that he married a sister of William Harvey. This household of six was recorded in Taunton. December 28. 1659. If the said Anthony Slocum had sons living in Dartmouth, they probably died young or were with him killed in King Philip's war, 1675, as no further mention is found of them.

Anthony and _______ (Harvey) Slocum had four children:
Giles, born 1618, see forward;
Edward, resided in Taunton, New Plymouth, June 1, 1647;
Martha, married John Gilbert. and had four sons, living in Dartmouth. New Plymouth, in the latter part of the seventeenth century;
John, born 1641, in Taunton, died March, 1651. The youngest of the family, who held a high position, was killed in King Phillip's war, 1675.
