The above individual is the son of Jonathan and older brother of Frances Slocum (captured by Indians fame). He is #239 in "A short history of the Slocums, Slocumbs and Slocombs of America"
By Charles Elihu Slocum.
Recently, I was researching at the Luzerne Historical Society and serendipitously discovered Giles' marriage record to Sarah Hofs. (The Slocum book states her as Sarah Ross). It was performed by Capt. John Franklin who was a Justice of the Peace on March 19, 1780 in Wilkes Barre, PA. The Slocum book does not have this info. Researchers rarely look into the John Franklin Papers (MS-9) and if so, it's for his military letters. No one realized (including myself) that he was a JP after the battle and that his records book still exists.
I would hate this unbelievable find to go to waste. Would you know of anyone who could use this info? There were Slocum family members at the annual Commemorative Ceremony at the Battle Monument on July 4th but I made the discovery a few days after that.
