From Charles Elihu Slocum's Short History of the SlocumsS2 comes the following profile:

"Hon. Samuel Slocum (Samuel, Ebenezer, Giles, Anthony) was born on Canonicut Island, Jamestown Township, Rhode Island, the 9th day of Seventh month, 1711. He removed with his parents to North Kingstown Township, R. I., previous to the year 1729, and was there married in 1733 by George Thomas, J. P., to Ann Gould of that place.

"He was admitted freeman of North Kingstown in 1734, but returned to Jamestown where he and his wife Ann, under date of 18 June, 1741, deeded a certain tract of land in Exeter Township, R. I., to his "infant [minor] brother Peleg Slocum of North Kingstown for his better support and living."

"He was chosen Town Sergeant for Jamestown 20 April, 1742, and Deputy to the Rhode Island General Assembly in 1743, and also in 1772 and '73. In the year 1757 he was referred to in the Colonial Records as Captain of Militia, and he was that year chosen enlisting officer for Jamestown.

"He married second, Hannah Bill, 27 November, 1746, and his household numbered seven heads in 1774."
