HISTORY

"One, Basil Clarkson, was charged with going on board the
British tenders in Hooper's Straits and giving them information, and also persuading Job Slacum and others to join Lord Dunmore's naval forces. Clarkson was arrested and
committed to jail in Annapolis by the Council of Safety on
evidence given by John Rumley, of Straits, before the Com-
mittee of Observation."

"Job Slocombe (George) was born in Maryland early in the 18th century, and was reared on a farm in Dorchester County. He there received several grants of land, in part as follows:

in 1751,three tracts or parcels, two being Little Slycamp (in another place spelled Sleicome) granted to his father 16 April, 1715, and 'Slacom's Lett' originally granted 8 February, 1738 to Job's brother George.

Further grants were received in 1754, 104 acres; 1766, 403
acres. No further account of him has been found.

Children:

i. Job. July 12, 1776, the committee of observation of the Maryland Council of Safety during the Revolutionary War, reported 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." . . . ?Archives of Maryland.

Job Slocum, Jr., was granted land in Dorchester Co. in 1790
and 1792. 'Job Slocumb and Anne Slocumb' gave Deed 13
Oct., 1819, to John Williams, to tracts of land in Worcester Co., Md., called Addition to Handy's Security, Handy's Frolic, and Low Meadows. Whether this is the above Job or his son, is not known to the writer.

ii. MARCELLUS, born ; married Sara ; died in 1807."

"Gabriel Slacom (Slacombe) was an officer of the crew of
the Privateer "Sturdy Beggar," sailing under Letters of Marque, commissioned in 1776 and 1777. He was captured and imprisoned for several years in England; finally escaped to
France and reached his home after an absence of seven years, broken in health from serious wounds received at the time."

Comwth vs Slacum
Record ID Number 471-195
Charge: assault on H.W.P. Junius
Defendant: James Slacum

[Note: Will try to get court record on this. It seems that Dr. Junius may not have been the upstanding clergyman as he presented himself according to the following newspaper article.]

Rochester Democrat, August 17, 1858.

A Jeremy Diddler at Niagara Falls

"Some days since, a fine-looking and gentlemanly man, tolerably advanced in years, arrived at the International Hotel, Niagara Falls, with a female companion, and put upon the register the name of Dr. H W. P. JUNIUS and lady," from Lexington, Ky. In short, the Doctor wanted it known he was a southern gentleman traveling north for health and recreation."

He claimed he was robbed of all his money $300 in cash in $10 notes when it came time to leave the hotel. He was very anxious and upset of course, and the kindly hotelier, Mr. Osbourn, taking pity on him was assured Dr. Junius credit was good. So Dr. Junius arranged to a $250 draft on his bank in Louisville, KY for Mr. Osbourn to cash. In order to purchase the bank draft, Mr. Osborn had to give his bank a $70 check. All seemed fine and Dr. Junius with his lady left Saratoga. Mr. Osborn then found out the bank in Kentucky had never heard of Dr. Junius and a quick message was sent to the bank in Lockport not to cash the $70 check.

Dr. Junius returned to Lockport to cash his check and he was arrested. His lady was not with him, having been left in a Buffalo hotel. The good Dr. was taken to Niagra Falls where he "was unable to tell the names of any of the prominent men of that place [Lexington, KY] and some Simon Pure Kentucky gentlemen from that vicinity who happened to be staying at the Falls just now, happened to be ignorant of the existence of such a clergyman."

The article concluded with the possibility of his having to go to state prison in New York unless he can show his clean record.
