HISTORY

Source: History of Dorchester Co. MD, p. 213

"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."

History of the Slocums, Slocumbs and Slocombs of America, genealogical and biographical, embracing twelve generations of the first-named family from A.D. 1637 to 1908, with their marriages and descendants in the female lines as far as ascertained, Dr, Charles Elihu Slocum, 1908, 498-99.

"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."

Job married Mary (Polly) Dunn. Mary (daughter of Andrew Dunn and Mary Carroll) was born ca 1725, St. Dunstan and All Saints, Tower Hamlets, Middlesex, England; died ca 1776, Dorchester Co. MD. [Group Sheet]
