"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. 1716, received Grant for parcel of land called Priviledge, 174 acres under New Rent, and by his Will"

. . George- received further grants in 1759, 1764, 1765, the last 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 lbs 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.

Children, perhaps not all born in the order given, viz. :

i. Amos. Went to Pennsylvania in early life. Was there granted 400 acres of land 5 November, 1792.

ii. Isaac. Went early to Pennsylvania. Was there granted 400
acres of land 8 January, 1793. For record of his descendants, see Vol. I, pp. 575-577

iii. Gabriel. Was Prizemaster of the American Privateer, Sturdy Beggar, of Maryland. He was captured by the British, and committed to Forton Prison, England, in 1778. He escaped
the same year. [Note: This Garbiel may have been the son of Job.]

History of Dorchester County, Elias Jones, page 218.

George Slacum is mentioned in problems for recuriting for the Patriot cause. Was he a Loyalist?

To the Honourable The Council of Safety of Maryland. The memorial of Thomas Sparrow, Humbly sheweth That agreable to the warrant your Honours was pleased to grant me for the purpose of recruiting men for the service of this State, I repaired to Dorchester county where I had had the promise of a sufficient number, and firmly believes that I could have enlisted them, but for the reasons hereafter mentioned.

I was four days on my passage from Annapolis to Cambridge, and on my arival Major Thomas Muse being dead, I was obliged to wate a week before I could acquaint your Honours therewith. Colonel Traverse knowing the disapointment I had met with, told me he was going to Annapolis, and should soon return with an answer, if I would write to have another Gentleman appointed to assist me with cash for the recruits. I waited six days after Colonel Travers's return to his House at Hooper's Island for the letter directed to Capt Daffin, which Gentleman supply'd me with a Horse to ride for it, as Col. Traverse had omitted to send it to him.

I received the letter, and on my return to Cambridge, heard the corps belonging to Dorchester County was to meet at the Lightwood knot chappie. Mr Peter Carvil told he would ride to that place with me, and made no doubt but that I would enlist thirty men, as he had heard many intended to meet me there for that purpose. I had not received any cash, but as that opportunity offered, I concluded to advance the Small Sum I had to bear my expences, which if not Sufficient, Mr Carvil offered to supply me with, and to do him justice he was the only friend I had in the field who had courage enough to stand by me. I proceeded to do my duty, and undertook to read the resolve of Convention with respect to raising matrosses. One of the Company told me it was all false and if any man should enlist, he would be sent to Philadelphia, and not to Annapolis, and that they were damned fools that would go to either to fight against their King. I then told him he was a Tory, another told me I should not come there to find any thing else; I told him I hoped to find it otherwise.

A young man then desired to hear the proposals; I attempted to read them to him, but one of the Company struck the paper, and many of them made such a noise, that prevented me from informing those who wanted to enlist. I then put up my papers, lest they should take them from me. About an hour after a man called me aside and told me he would enlist at Cambridge, for he was afraid to do it there. Mr George Slakum overheard him, and said Dam your forty shillings, it is not worth six pence. I have gold and silver enough, and will give fifty shillings to a man either to fight for the King, or not fight against him, which of the two I am not positive, but believe I can prove both, if I can be enabled to go there for the evidences.

Mr George Slakum told me I was a damned rascal in offering to enlist men against the King and they were damned fools that would go with me. I saw immediately after that in different places men whispering together, at which time a young man as he passed by me said goe off immediately or you will be murthered. I took his advice. It being dark, I knew not the road perfectly. In a few minutes I heard some horses in full speed coming after me; on which I took to the woods and made my escape for that time. It would take up too much time to relate what I suffered in that night, which had almost cost me my life.

In Cambridge I received of Capt. Daffin eight pounds, which he told me was at his own risque, being bound up by the Instructions he received not to advance more than forty Shillings at one time, but as I proved to him the inconveniency attending it he advanced me more. When I came away I returned him the whole Sum advanced.

I have advanced some cash to the men I have enlisted, to do which I was under the necessity to sell my sword and watch. As I have been so much disapointed in getting men, I was determined not to make use of the public money. In Cambridge I next beat up for men in the presence of many of our principal Gentlemen, being the time of the Election. I had a flag made of two sheets of small bills, which one of a mob that had raised against me, often attempted to take from the man who had it and struck him. They then proceeded to insult me, and was very industrious in advising men not to enlist.

John Chalmers seeing the treatment I met with told me he had two swords and that I was welcome to one of them. I accepted of one of them and soon chased the Town of my enemies. Lieutenant James Gray was much my friend in this affair. I intended next to goe to New Market as I understood there was to be two days races, but my friends advised me not, as It was expected many of Capt. Andrew's men would be there, and I should be used ill. I complained to many of the Committee, and in particular to Capt. Daffen and Mr Ennals who told me the night I came away they were sorry I was so ill used, but that it was out of their power to help it, and advised me to apply to your Honours, who I hope will find my Conduct in this matter to have been such as will not disgrace the warrant you Honoured me with, which conduct I am determined to pursue in any station you may think proper to place me in, if it is only a private, and hope that the trifling eregularities I have some years ago committed, may not prevent me from being prefer'd according to the services I have, and am willing to render in the present dispute.

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.
