"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.
