September 20, 1780, by and with the advice and approval of Col. Ephraim Blaine, Commissary General of Purchases of the Continental army, Colonel Butler appointed Hugh Forseman "Pur- chasing Commissary for the Wyoming Post," to succeed William Stewart, who was transferred by Colonel Blaine to duties elsewhere in the Commissary Department. The duties of his new office were satisfactorily performed by Mr. Forseman until May, 1781, when the work was again taken up by William Stewart, under an appointment made by the General Assembly of Connecticut-as noted on page 871. At the same time Mr. Forseman was appointed by the General Assembly, and commis- sioned by Governor Trumbull, a Justice of the Peace in and for the county of Westmoreland. In the Autumn of 1788 the Yankee settlers of Westmoreland appointed Mr. Forseman their agent to present to the Legislature of Pennsylvania a memorial relative to the grievances of the settlers against the Pennsylvania land-claimers. In May, 1788, Mr. Forseman and his family had removed from Wilkes-Barre to Sheshequin, as related in the note on page 980, and there, according to Heverly's "History of Sheshequin" (1908), they lived until 1804, at least. It is probable that soon thereafter they removed to Ohio, inasmuch as Mrs. Judith (Slocum) Forseman died in Ohio-probably in Cin- cinnati-March 11, 1814. Charles Miner makes the following statement in his "Wyoming" (page 304) relative to Hugh Forseman: "A man of business and probity, few shared more highly the gen- eral confidence. As Clerk of the Town [presumably Westmoreland], his writing is singularly neat and accurate. To his care we are indebted that the old Westmoreland records were preserved."

(iii) William Slocum, born January 6, 1762, came to Wilkes-Barre in 1777 with the other mem- bers of his father's family. It was he who was wounded, but who escaped with his life, at the time his father and grandfather were killed by Indians, as narrated on page 1111. The rifle ball with which he was wounded was never extracted from his leg. During the Second Pennamite-Yankee War he was a very active member of the Yankee party. He was married January 4, 1786, to Sarah Sawyer (born May 12, 1764), and shortly afterwards they took up their residence in the house on River Street above South which had been vacated a little while before by Giles Slocum and his family. There they made their home until they removed from Wilkes-Barre. From 1796 till 1799 William Slocum was Sheriff of Luzerne County-which then comprehended the territory now included within the bounds of the counties of Luzerne, Lackawanna, Wyoming and Susquehanna, and part of Brad- ford. In March, 1799, William Slocum bought of Nathan Baldwin a farm in Pittston Township, and thither he removed with his family. In 1806 he was elected a Justice of the Peace in and for Pittston Township.

William Slocum died in Pittston October 20, 1810, and his wife died there March 16, 1832. Their children were as follows: (1) Lemuel, born March 24, 1787; married to Nancy Collins Decem- ber 20, 1812; died August 24, 1830. (2) Elisabeth, born October 3, 1788; married (1st) to William Jenkins in 1809, and (2d) to Zenas Barnum in 1815; died August 22, 1869. (3) Frances, born August 26, 1790; married August 30, 1812, to Eleazar Carey (see page 1026); died April 7, 1822. (4) Laton, born August 16, 1792; married February 1, 1819, to Gratey (born December 24, 1796; died September 5, 1829), daughter of James and Thankful (Nash) Scovell of Exeter Township, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. Laton Slocum died January 16, 1833, survived by the following-named children: (a) Frances Carey, (b) James Scovell and (c) William. (5) Sarah, born August 12, 1794; died March 17, 1829, unmarried. (6) Rhoda, born July 17, 1796; married May 27, 1829, to James Wright. (7) Merritt, born July 12, 1798; was Register of Wills and Recorder of Deeds in Luzerne County from 1836 until his death, July 11, 1838. He was unmarried. (8) Giles, born May 4, 1801; married (1st) March 9, 1826, to Sarah Perkins; married (2d) February 9, 1847, to Sarah Reese; died May 7, 1878. (9) William, born May 4, 1803; married September 15, 1828, to Ann Levington Stewart of Pittston; died at Hyde Park, Pennsylvania, May 27, 1856.

(iv) Ebenezer Slocum, born January 10, 1766, was in the thirteenth year of his life when the battle of Wyoming was fought and when, a few months later, his sister Frances was carried into cap- tivity. As early as May, 1788, he was a private in the 3d Company (William Ross, Captain) of the 1st Battalion of Militia in Luzerne County, commanded by Lieut. Col. M. Hollenback; and in October, 1790, he was still a member of this company-as is shown by original "returns" in the possession of the present writer. As early, at least, as 1798, Ebenezer Slocum became Captain of the "Wyoming Blues" of Wilkes-Barre, in the Pennsylvania militia. He was married at Wilkes-Barre December 8, 1790, to Sarah (born August 81, 1771), daughter of Dr. Joseph and Obedience (Sperry) Davis. In 1798 Ebenezer Slocum and James Duane purchased certain lands and a grist-mill situated alongside Roaring Brook near its junction with the Lackawanna River, in the township of Providence-or, as it was still sometimes called, Capouse. The particular locality referred to was known as "Deep Hol- low." Slocum and Duane enlarged the grist-mill and added a distillery to it, and in 1799 built a saw- mill and a blacksmith shop near by. Duane withdrew from the partnership and was succeeded by Benjamin Slocum (younger brother of Ebenezer) in the latter part of 1799, and a year later Ebenezer Slocum and his family and Benjamin Slocum removed from Wilkes-Barre to Deep Hollow. In the year 1800 the Slocum brothers built in the "Hollow" a forge having two fires and one trip-hammer. All kinds of useful agricultural implements were made at this forge and sold to the farmers of Wyo- ming and Lackawanna Valleys. The aforementioned plants, a small cooper shop, and three or four rude dwelling-houses composed the settlement at Deep Hollow in the year 1801 and for several years thereafter. To this settlement the Slocums gave the name "Unionville," and by this name it was generally known; although as late as 1804 it was commonly referred to as Capouse. (In the Luserne Federalist, Wilkes-Barre, of September 1, 1804, there is an interesting account of Capt. Ebenezer Slocum's escape from death by drowning in the Slocum mill-race at Capouse.)

In 1805 Ebenezer Slocum built the first frame house at Unionville (there is a picture of it in Pearce's "Annals of Luzerne County," page 222), and it was a landmark for many years. It was torn down in 1875, at which time it was the oldest house in Scranton, and had been known for some years as the "old Slocum red house." In 1811 the Slocums built a second grist-mill and distillery at Unionville, and about that time whisky, flour, feed, lumber and iron began to be manufactured in such quantities as to advance the little settlement to a position of some importance in the Wyoming- Lackawanna region. Then, by the people of this region, Unionville began to be commonly called "Slocum Hollow." Forty or fifty men were employed at the various works in the "Hollow," and the Slocums had several teams on the road carrying their products to neighboring localities. After a few years the iron ore began to fail, and the Slocums made their last iron June 10, 1822. Two or three years later they closed up their distillery, and in 1826 they dissolved their general partnership. Both brothers were at that time possessed of a considerable amount of property.

Slocum Hollow was a quiet, sleepy place from about 1828 until 1840, when, iron-ore and anthra- cite coal having been discovered on the Slocum and adjoining lands, the "Hollow" entered upon a new life. In the year last mentioned a blast-furnace was built at the village in the "Hollow," which then had a population of 100. Five years later, when its population numbered 500, the village was renamed "Harrison;" but the old name, "Slocum Hollow," still clung to the locality, even after it had attained a population of over 2,700, and been rechristened "Scrantonia." In 1851 the name of the town was shortened to "Scranton" -- which name it has since borne.

Ebenezer Slocum died suddenly of apoplexy on the street in Wilkes-Barre, while here on a visit, July 25, 1882. An obituary of him and his brother Benjamin (who had died twenty days pre- viously), written by Charles Miner, was published in the Village Record (West Chester, Pennsylvania) August 10, 1832, and republished in the Wyoming Republican (Kingston, Pennsylvania) August 22, 1832. Mrs. Sarah (Davis) Slocum died November 1, 1842.

The children of Ebenezer and Sarah (Davis) Slocum were as follows: (1) Ruth, born in Wilkes- Barre September 18, 1791; married at "Slocum Hollow," July 24, 1811, by Cornelius Courtright, Esq., of Wilkes-Barre, to Elisha Hitchcock, who was born in Clermont, New Hampshire, January 21, 1778, and died at Scranton October 16, 1858. (For his obituary, see the Record of the Times, Wilkes-Barre, December 8, 1858.) Mrs. Ruth (Slocum) Hitchcock died at Scranton about 1888. (9) Sidney, born March 17, 1794; married July 1, 1818, to Jane La France; died January 80, 1885. (3) Ebeneser, born June 6, 1796; married to Sarah Mills. (1) Benjamin, born July 19, 1798; married August 1, 1819, to Matilda Griffin; died at Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania, October 19, 1888. (5) Joseph, born in Wilkes-Barre July 15, 1800; married December 88, 1830, to Edilda Bingham; elected the first Burgess of Scranton in 1856; died in June, 1890. (6) Samuel, born May 18, 1808; married May 18, 1880, to Mary Dings; died August 18, 1851. (7) Thomas, born May 81, 1804; married December 14, 1887, to Sarah S. Jenkins; died in Marion, Iowa, December 26, 1879. (8) Sarah, born December 24, 1806; married September 5, 1882, to Alva Heermans; died November 88, 1878. (9) Charles Miner, born December 24, 1808; died August 27, 1877, unmarried. (10) William, born December 20, 1810; mar- ried March 30, 1848, to Jane Lockwood; died subsequently to 1881. (11) Mary, born December 8, 1818; died January 8, 1875, unmarried. (18) Esther, born March 80, 1816; married September 28, 1841, to Lester Bristol; died subsequently to 1881. (13) Giles, born December 11, 1820; married to Sarah Decker; died subsequently to 1881.

(v) Mary Slocum, born December 82, 1768, was nearly ten years old at the time her sister Frances was carried into captivity, and it was she who, when that event occurred, ran from her home towards Fort Wyoming with her young brother in her arms. She was married at Wilkes-Barre about 1790 to Joseph C. Towne, who was a carpenter by trade, and is said to have come to Wyoming from Connecticut. As early as 1798 he was located at Wyalusing, and in 1798 he erected a grist-mill on Wyalusing Creek. Some years later the Townes removed to Ohio and located near Circleville. Mrs. Mary (Slocum) Towne died at Wilkes-Barre April 5, 1848. See The Wilkes-Barre Advocate of April 12, 1848, for her obituary.

(vi) Benjamin Slocum, born December 7, 1770, came to Wilkes-Barre from Rhode Island with the other members of his father's family. In 1790 he was a private in the Light Infantry company (commanded by Lieut. Elisha Blackman) attached to the 1st Regiment of Militia in Luzerne County. Later in life he attained the rank of Major in the Pennsylvania militia. As previously related he became a business partner of his brother Ebenezer, and removed from Wilkes-Barre to Deep Hollow, or Unionville, in 1800. The first postoffice in Lackawanna Valley was established at Unionville Jan- uary 10, 1811, under the name of "Providence," and Benjamin Slocum was appointed postmaster. He held the office continuously until 1829. About 1880 he removed to the township of Tunkhannock (which comprehended a part, or the whole, of the old township of Putnam), in what is now Wyoming County, Pennsylvania, where he took up his residence on the farm which had formerly been in the possession of his brother Isaac. When the borough of Tunkhannock was erected in 1841 a large part of the Benjamin Slocum farm was included within its limits; and in May, 1842, Thomas Truxton Slocum, son and heir of Benjamin Slocum, donated two acres of the farm as a site for the Wyoming County court-house. Benjamin Slocum was married about 1805 to Phebe La France of Providence Township. He died at Tunkhannock July 5, 1882. Benjamin and Phebe (La France) Slocum were the parents of the following-named children: (1) Maria, who became the wife of Dr. Silas B. Rob- inson of Providence Township. (2) Ruth, who became the wife of Henry Stark of Tunkhannock. (8) Frances, married October 2, 1834, to Samuel T. Nicholson of Wilkes-Barre. (4) Thomas Truston, born in 1813; married to Ann, daughter of Col. Jacob J. and Abi K. (Fell) Dennis of Wilkes-Barre; died at Platte Canon, Colorado, May 29, 1887.

(viii) Isaac Slocum, born March 4, 1775, came with his parents in 1777 to Wilkes-Barre. Here he spent the following twenty-three years of his life, and here he was married (1st) January 11, 1799, to Elizabeth (born at Norwalk, Connecticut, April 26, 1780), daughter of Abel and Elizabeth (Hurl- but) Patrick, originally of Norwalk, but then of Kingston, Wyoming Valley. About 1800 Isaac Slocum and his wife removed to the township of Tunkhannock, and settled on land which had been owned by his father, Jonathan Slocum, deceased, as one of the original proprietors of The Susquehanna Company's township of Putnam. Isaac Slocum cleared up and farmed this land, and also erected an inn, which he successfully conducted for a number of years. In 1814 he built a more substantial and pretentious hotel in what is now the borough of Tunkhannock. The first postoffice at Tunkhan- nock was established April 1, 1801, and Isaac Slocum was appointed postmaster. He held the office until July, 1811. At this period he was very active as an officer of the Pennsylvania militia, and in Munsell's "History of Luzerne, Lackawanna and Wyoming Counties" we read the following: "Just after the close of the War of 1812 we find Major Slocum, one of the earliest hotel-keepers of Tunk- hannock, clearing and 'grubbing' a parade-ground of forty acres for his regiment." In 1824 Major Slocum, his wife and ten children removed from Tunkhannock to York Township, Sandusky County, Ohio, locating near the village of Bellevue in Huron County. There Mrs. Elizabeth (Patrick) Slocum died September 16, 1839, from injuries received in an accident. Major Slocum was married (2d) at Clyde, Ohio, December 24, 1839, to Mrs. Lydia (Chase) Norton. He died at his home near Bellevue August 26, 1858. In a sketch of his life printed in The Witness at Indianapolis, Indiana, occurred the following paragraph: "Mr. Slocum was a prominent and active citizen, and held successively sev- eral military commissions, · and was several years postmaster. He was a man of great energy and enterprise, and . accumulated a handsome fortune. He outlived all his father's family."

The children of Maj. Isaac Slocum (all by his first wife) were: (1) Jonathan, born July 25, 1800; died May 4, 1808. (2) Mary, born March 18, 1802; married (1st) August 30, 1818, to John Harding, (2d) to L. H. Reed; died April 1, 1859. (3) John Forseman, born December 13, 1808; married April 14, 1880, to Minerva Kellogg; died June 27, 1879. (4) Charles, born March 18, 1806; died January 18, 1832, unmarried. (5) Ruth Ann, born May 13, 1808; married June 4, 1826, to James Stevens; died in September, 1847. (6) Isaac, born September 30, 1810; married (1st) April 5, 1886, to Juliette Hubbell, (2d) to Mary Ann Barker; died subsequently to 1881. (7) Elisabeth, born June 14, 1812; married September 12, 1833, to Mason Kinney; died subsequently to 1881. (8) Hannah, born March 21, 1814; married November 18, 1835, to Samuel E. Walter; died May 6, 1880. (9) William Sawyer, born March 13, 1816; married September 20, 1887, to Mary A. Knapp; died subsequently to 1881. (10) Abel Patrick, born December 18, 1817; married October 1, 1840, to Mary C. Haskins; died subsequently to 1881. (11) Giles, born January 18, 1820; married in April, 1842, to Lucinda Booth; died subsequently to 1881.

(ix) Joseph Slocum was born in Warwick Township, Rhode Island, April 9, 1777, and conse- quently was only an infant in arms when he came to Wilkes-Barre with his parents in the Autumn of the same year. It was he who, when his sister Frances was captured by the Indians, was snatched up by his sister Mary and carried away to a place of safety. He early learned the trade of a black- smith, and before the year 1800 had opened a shop of his own on the west side of North Main Street near the present Jackson Street. In addition to carrying on this trade in an energetic and a successful manner, he engaged to some extent in farming. In the year 1800 he was married at Wilkes-Barre to Sarah (born July 25, 1781), third child of Judge Jesse and Hannah (Welding) Fell (see a subsequent chapter for a sketch of the Fell family), and they took up their residence in a house owned by Mr. Slocum at the north-east corner of Union and Main Streets. Early in 1808 Joseph Slocum was elected Captain of the "Wyoming Blues," and served in that capacity until 1808, at least.

In 1807, the year following the erection of the borough of Wilkes-Barre, Joseph Slocum was elected one of the two As- sessors of the borough. In this same year he became one of the incorporators of the Wilkes-Barre Academy, and sub- sequently served as a member of its Board of Trustees from 1807 till 1888 -for twenty-five years of this time holding the office of Treasurer of the Academy. He was a member of the Town Council of the borough of Wilkes- Barre in 1818, 1819, 1829 and 1880.

Early in 1807 Mr. Slocum began the erection on the south side of Public Square of a brick residence three and a-half stories high, which was not only the first building of such a height, but was the first brick building, to be erected in north-eastern Pennsylvania. This building was completed in March or April, 1808, and to it Mr. Slocum and his family immediately removed from their North Main Street home. At the same time Mr. Slocum removed his blacksmithing business from North Main Street to a shop either in the rear, or at a short distance to the west, of his new residence. In The Luserne Fed- eralist (Wilkes-Barre) of May 6, 1808, he published the following advertise- ment: "TO RENT TWO DWELLING Houses in the borough of Wilkes-Barre. One situate on the corner of Main and Union Streets, about 100 rods easterly from the Court House. The house is large, and appertaining to it are a good garden, well of water, smoke-house, RESIDENCE OF JOSEPH SLOCUM, south side of Public Square. The first brick building erected in Wilkes-Barre. (From a photograph taken in 1858.) stables, hog-house and corn-house. The other house is situate in Union Street, and is a convenient building for a small family. A well of excellent water, a good garden and a barn are on the premises. Possession will be given immediately. The subscriber respectfully informs the Public that he has removed from his old place to a new stand on the Public Square, within a few rods of the Court House, where he continues the BLACKSMITHING BUSINESS. His customers may depend upon hav- ing their work done with usual punctuality. A healthy, active lad, of fourteen or fifteen years of age, will be taken as an apprentice to the above business.

"May 6, 1808.

"JOSEPH SLOCUM."

Mr. Slocum occupied his brick residence on Public Square till his death; then, for a number of years, it was occupied as a residence by his son-in-law, Lord Butler, and his family, after which the building was given over to business uses. Later it was remodeled, and continued to be used for shop and office purposes until its demolishment in April, 1906, to make way for the erection of the present First National Bank building.

Joseph Slocum was appointed and commissioned by the Governor of Pennsylvania, April 88, 1851, one of the two Associate Judges of the Courts of Luzerne County. Some years prior to this he had given up his blacksmithing business, and was devoting his time to his farming and general business interests. In 1854 a new township was erected out of Newport Township, Luzerne County, and was named Slocum Township in honor of Judge Joseph Slocum. Mrs. Sarah (Fell) Slocum died suddenly at her home in Wilkes-Barre February 85, 1888, and Judge Slocum died here September 87, 1855.

The children of Joseph and Sarah (Fell) Slocum were as follows: (1) Hannah Fell, born April 16, 1809; married by the Rev. George Peck, D. D., November 25, 1824, to Ziba Bennett, formerly of Newtown, New York, but then of Wilkes-Barre; died February 5, 1855. (See sketch of Ziba Bennett in a subsequent chapter.) (2) Ruth Tripp, born December 5, 1804; married December 1, 1825. to William Sterling Ross of Wilkes-Barre; died June 88, 1882. (See sketch of the Ross family in a sub- sequent chapter.) (3) Deborah, born August 6, 1806; married (1st) January 17, 1827, to Anning O. Chahoon, (2d) September 28, 1851, to Sharp D. Lewis; died January 19, 1878. (See sketch of Sharp D. Lewis in a subsequent chapter.) (4) Abi Welding, born June 82, 1808; married February 2, 1883, to Lord Butler, Jr .; died March 11, 1887. (See sketch of Lord Butler in a subsequent chapter.) (5) George Fell, born August 10, 1818; died March 19, 1856. (See below.) (6) Jonathan Joseph, born January 87, 1815; died February 25, 1860. (See page 1118.) (7) Mary, died in youth. (8) Har- riet Elisabeth, born June 26, 1819; married (1st) October 6, 1841, to Charles B. Drake, and (2d) April 28, 1868, to Henry Lewis; died December 89, 1898. (See sketch of Charles B. Drake in a subsequent chapter.)

(x) Jonathan Slocum, youngest child of Jonathan and Ruth (Tripp) Slocum, was born in Wilkes- Barre September 12, 1778, and was less then two months old when his sister Frances was carried into captivity. He was a farmer and a tax-payer in Wilkes-Barre in 1799, and in 1800 was married to Martha Underwood, probably of Kingston Township. Some years later they left Wilkes-Barre, and for a time resided near Havana, New York. He died in September, 1842. His children (per- haps not born in the order here given) were: (1) Zebulon Butler, (2) Isaac, (3) Joseph Beach, (4) Benjamin Franklin, (5) John F., (6) Ebenezer Phineas, (7) Anna Maria, (8) Phebe P., (9) William H., (10) Laton, (11) Joel.

(5) George Fell Slocum, born in Wilkes-Barre August 10, 1812, younger son of Joseph and Sarah (Fell) Slocum, spent his whole life here. In November, 1838, in partnership with Elijah W. Reynolds, he engaged in mercantile business-opening "a new stock of dry goods, groceries, hardware, glass- ware, etc., at the stand lately occupied by Charles B. Drake, next door to Butler's steam-mill, on the east side of Public Square." At Clinton, Hunterdon County, New Jersey, January 19, 1842, Mr. Slocum was married to Mary N. (born in 1820), daughter of John Grandin of that place. She died at Wilkes-Barre August 8, 1845, being survived by her husband and one son. At that time Mr. Slo- cum was still engaged in mercantile business in Wilkes-Barre, and was also a Major in the Pennsyl- vania militia. In 1847 he began the erection, on the south side of the Public Square, of a three and a-half story brick building for hotel purposes. The building was not completed until the Spring of 1851, when it was named the "American House." It was separated from the residence of Joseph

sons and three daughters-the eldest child being nearly nineteen years of age, and the age of the youngest being one and a-half years. Mr. Slocum had been in Wyoming Valley previously ; first, in 1762, when he and his brother-in-law, Job Tripp, came here as part of the body of original settlers under the auspices of The Susquehanna Company-as noted on page 404, Vol. I. It is quite probable that both these men were here also in October, 1763, at the time of the massacre of some of the New England settlers and the dispersal of the others, as related on page 430, Vol. I.

It is doubtful if Jonathan Slocum visited Wyoming again until the Autumn of 1775, when he was here for a short time. In October of that year he became one of the original proprietors of the township of Putnam, the agent for which was his father-in-law, Isaac Tripp, as related on page 467, Vol. I. In the subsequent allotment of the lands of that township Jonathan Slocum received Lot No. 17. At Wilkes- Barré, November 6, 1775, Jonathan Fitch conveyed to "Jonathan Slo- cum, blacksmith, of Warwick, Kent County, Rhode Island," Lot No. 50 in the town-plot of Wilkes-Barre. Subsequently Mr. Slocum acquired Lot No. 38 (adjoining No. 50) in the town-plot, as well as lands in the other " divisions " of the township of Wilkes-Barre. Referring to page 655, ante, it will be seen that Lot No. 50 was at the east corner of the town-plot, or at the west corner of the present Pennsylvania Avenue (originally Back Street, and later Canal Street) and North Street. The lot contained three acres and 136 perches, and extended along North Street from Pennsylvania Avenue to the middle of the present Wash- ington Street.
