His last name was spelled Hammann. His occupation was listed as "Feldgeschworener."
A Feldgeschworener (usually there were 7 of them in a community) marked the borders of fields in order to prevent or to settle land disputes. These men set boundary stones. As a means to find out, whether the boundary stones had been moved (in case of a dispute),they put a secret sign on the stone itself or together with the stone. Each community and each team of Feldgeschworener had its own secret of
course. This secret was known by them only. They were sworn in (=geschworen) to keep the secret, only the seven of them knew about it. And only when one of the seven died, another one was sworn in and told the secret sign. So he was a settler of boundary disputes, a "field juryman"
He was most likely employed by the local court to check the boundaries of the fields and settled boundary disputes to make sure no one was plowing a tract of land that actually belonged to someone else. There were no fences, just stones marking where one property started and someone else's ended.

1749, 16 Jun: At a King William Co., VA court, Ann Temple presented three writings, A, B and C, each purporting to be the will of Joseph Temple. William Temple, Gent., son and heir of Joseph, appeared and consented to enter immediately on the contestation of the wills.
Ann swore that "A" was published at the date therof, 1744, and that "B" was not published before witnesses; after "B" was written, his daughter Hannah married, and he wished to make changes, which his son William transcribed. This transcription was "C" with which the testator was not satisfied, and a few days before he died he received news of the death of his brother, William of Bristol, England, and that his brother's estate had fallen to him. He planned to make a new will as soon as he got an account but if any accident happened to him, he had a will by him, and Ann Temple, his widow, believed that "A" was that will.
William Temple declared that he knew nothing of "A"; however, Elizabeth Jones, a witness, swore to "A" and it was received as the testator's will.

Virginia Gleanings In England expands on this transaction in Prerogative Court of Archbishop of Canterbury. George Nelson, and Alderman of London City, is Humphrey Bell?s son-in-law. Humphrey was indebted to George Nelson, Latham Arnold and John Maynard. So he left them all of his plantations and land in Virginia along with ?all Houses, Edifices, and Buildings, Mills, Stills, Coppers, Slaves, Negros, and Stock.? All of his English properties were to be sold to pay debts and whatever was left over was to go to his daughter, Mary Nelson. He gave each of his nieces Mrs. Rebecca Arnold, Elizabeth and Hannah Nicholson, Mary Brown and Ann Roe £100 each; to his nephew Humprey Hill of Virginia, £100.
The will?s executors were George Nelson, Latham Arnold and John Maynard.
London merchants had extensive holdings in Virginia and frequent acquired property and morgages on land and slaves securing debts owed to them by colonists. Humphrey Bell had extensive holdings in King William, Caroline Spotsylvania, and King and Queen counties. He sent his nephew Humprey Hill to act as his agent in VirgInia.

1727, 14 Dec: George Woodruff petitioned the Council of VA at Williamsburg in reference to the question of a patent to 380 acres of land in King William Co. on the East North East River. The petition states that Benjamin Arnold "did devise the said land to his daughter Rachel, now the wife of Francis Arnold. But no patent ever sued out for same. It appeareing to this Board that Anne Arnold the widow of the said Benjamin hath surreptitiously obtained a copy of the aforesaid survey and returned the same into the Secretary's Office with intent to take out a patent thereon. It is ordered that no patent issue to the said Anne, but that as well the said Anne as the said Francis Arnold and the petitioner do attend this Board on the 6th day of February next to make out their several pretensions to the said lands."
1727/8, 6 Feb: The Council ordered that George Woodruff have a patent for the land upon his giving bond to convey the same to Anne, the daughter of Rachel Arnold, when she came of age or married. Francis Arnold was in constant financial trouble, and after being foreclosed upon and thrown into Debtor's Gaol ca. 1759, he left Spotsylvania Co. Woodruff probably feared Francis would dispose of the younger Anne's land and was trying to preserve it for her. This indicates he may have been related to Anne, Benjamin's wife.

Virginia Gleanings In England expands on this transaction in Prerogative Court of Archbishop of Canterbury. George Nelson, and Alderman of London City, is Humphrey Bell?s son-in-law. Humphrey was indebted to George Nelson, Latham Arnold and John Maynard. So he left them all of his plantations and land in Virginia along with "all Houses, Edifices, and Buildings, Mills, Stills, Coppers, Slaves, Negros, and Stock." All of his English properties were to be sold to pay debts and whatever was left over was to go to his daughter, Mary Nelson. He gave each of his nieces Mrs. Rebecca Arnold, Elizabeth and Hannah Nicholson, Mary Brown and Ann Roe £100 each; to his nephew Humphrey Hill of Virginia, £100.
The will's executors were George Nelson, Latham Arnold and John Maynard.
London merchants had extensive holdings in Virginia and frequent acquired property and mortgages on land and slaves securing debts owed to them by colonists. Humphrey Bell had extensive holdings in King William, Caroline Spotsylvania, and King and Queen counties. He sent his nephew Humphrey Hill to act as his agent in Virginia.

Benjamin Arnold was granted 1,725 acres which had been granted Captain Taylor and by him sold to Anthony Arnold deceased.
This land, located on the upperside of the Mattapony River, became the home of Benjamin Arnold. It was at "Rickahock" on the Mattapony River, then in New Kent County, now in King and Queen County.
The original patent contained 1,050 acres of land, and a resident of 740 acres was taken up for the transportation of 15 persons. The description of the lands in the patent begins 40 poles below the mill creek as near the river as could be, and by the plantation of William Nichols, John Pigg's, Daniel Coleman's, William and Thomas Camp's and down a small creek to the Mattapony. This invested the whole of Col. William Taylor (Tayloe)'s patent and added 720 acres more. Benjamin Arnold and his wife Ann were seated here at "Ricahock."

1689: Benjamin Arnold petitioned the Colonial Council to let him swap lands along the south side of the Mattaponi for land along the north side of that river, to get away from the Indians. Apparently his petition was granted.

Sometime before 1704, Benjamin Arnold exchanged his land at "Rickahock" for lands of the Chickahomonie Indians which they had been allowed to settle on after Bacon's Rebellion. This land lay along Herring Creek below the Mattapony River in Pamunkey Neck. It had been assigned the Indians for a Reservation and the exchange of lands, with Benjamin Arnold, was a simple trade. This exchange of lands brought the Arnolds into Pamunkey Neck where they established their home and in time, operated the ferry across the Mattapony River which bore the name Arnold's Ferry. This plantation lay a few miles below Aylett's Warehouse and ultimately became the home of the Temple family. A town site had been platted for at the direction of the Council by the county surveyor, Mr. Henry Beverley, and that tract or part of it was the land exchanged with Arnold.

The Chickahominy Indians requested to remove to Richahoch on the north side of the Mattaponi River, the land of Benjamin Arnold, which they had taken in exchange from him for their lands which lay on the south side of the river, "lands lying in ye front of the English Inhabitants."

1690, 10 Sep: Benjamin Arnold signed a paper charging Capt. Jacob Lumpkin with "seditious, unlawful and dangerous words and expressions against their Majesties." According to the information Benjamin Arnold gave, he had been entertaining people who lived in his neighborhood on 1 Sep: Joseph Clarke, Richard and Elizabeth Yarborough, Ann Browne and Ellinor Thompson, among others. One of the party proposed drinking a toast to the King and Queen (King William of Orange & Queen Mary), and all did so save Capt. Lumpkin, who refused to even take off his hat. Then Benjamin Arnold decided, "according to usuall Custome to trye ye temper of ye said Capt. Jacob Lumpkin" by drinking to the Royal Governor's (Francis Nicholson) health. Captain Lumpkin, a Jacobite, ran out the door, mounted his horse and rode off, swearing that "he was as good a man as ye Governor and swore God dam him if he (the governor) were there he (Lumpkin) would fight him." It is thought that Benjamin was trying to prove beyond any doubt that he was loyal to the King, since he was trying, 13 years after his father's execution as a traitor, to recoup the family fortunes and obtain the Royal Governor's favor. He took his charges to Capt. John Lane and Mr. Robert Bird, Justices of New Kent Co. It is known that Capt. Jacob Lumpkin lived for many years after this and died a respected man.
------------
1690, 29 Sep: At a Court held at Mr. Edmond Tunstall's home on the south side of the Mattaponi, it was ordered that the Sheriff summon Capt. Lumpkin and all those who had evidence to give to the Court to be held 9 Oct, and to give "all the northside gentlemen notice hereof for Speedy Tryall of ye matter." James Taylor, the sub-Sheriff, summoned Capt. Jacob Lumpkin, Richard Yarborough and his wife Elizabeth, Ann Browne, Ellinor Thomason and Ann Arnold, Benjamin's wife, to come before Justices Capt. John West, Maj. Wm. Wyatt, Capt. Roger Mallory, Capt. John Lane, Mr. Thomas Foster, Mr. Robert Bird and Mr. Joshua Story. The testimony agreed with Benjamin's version in the charges. It is probably from this incident that Ben Arnold became known as the "German" since his sympathies lay with William of Orange, rather than the Stuarts.

1701, 15 Aug: Benjamin Arnold and John Hurt obtained orders from the commissioners to examine and settle claims to land in Pamunkey Neck and to survey some disputed lands that lay between Herring Creeks. Edmund Jennings held patents to 770 acres between the 2 Herring Creeks which was apparently in dispute, probably arising out of boundaries being set for the new King William County being created on the south side of the Mattaponi out of King and Queen Co., and the new St. John's Parish created in Pamunkey neck.

The Committee on Indian Lands which sat at King and Queen Courthouse on 21 Jan 1699 (appointed by the House of Burgesses to adjust claims of patentees to land in Pamunkey Neck) approved a patent to Benjamin Arnold for 2,000 acres. This patent was not recorded until 23 Oct 1703, probably due to conflicts when surveys were made of the land, for the tract was reduced to 1,770 acres lying between Herring Creek and the Mattapony River lying at the mouth of Herring Creek. This was the same tract which Benjamin Arnold had received in exchange for his plantation at Rickahock in King and Queen Co. when he traded land with the Chickahominie Indians.

Joseph Temple lived at "Presqu'Isle about 2 miles below Aylett's Warehouse. This tract is formed into an "almost island" by the Mattapony River and a small stream known by the name of Spirit Run. After feeding Aylett's mill pond Spirit Run flows into the river just above Pointer's Landing, thus cutting off a deep bend in the Mattapony and enclosing one of the most fertile farms on the north side of the county. "Presqu'Isle" was Arnold property and it is likely that Joseph Temple acquired it by his marriage with Ann Arnold, daughter of Benjamin Arnold. Here was Arnold's Ferry, sometimes called Yarborough's Ferry, for many years the only crossing place in this part of the country over the river to King and Queen.

Arnold's Ferry crossed from Pres Qu'ile to the Chatham Plantation of a later date. Benjamin Arnold established his home in the bend of the river, where the Mattapony almost makes an island. In 1748, the Act of the General Assembly which established ferries called it Temple's Ferry.
(1g) 1703, 20 Nov: Gave bond as newly appointed sub-sheriff of King William Co.
1705, 1 Nov: A petition, its contents unknown, was brought by residents of King William Co. before the Council, which the council found to "contain matter of a very dangerous consequence." It was sent to the House of Burgesses, which resolved itself into a Committee of the Whole to consider the grievance. After reconvening, Mr. Miles Cary reported that the Committe had resolved to order the Speaker to issue warrants for the arrest of the petitioners: Col. John West, "he being the alleged That he is the Writer of the said Paper," Roger Mallory, Geroge Dabne, Thomas Spencer, John Downer, Jure Barber, Francis Hill, Benjamin Arnold, Morris Floyd, John Whitehead, John Gree and Jacob Sellers.
1705, 9 Nov: When the House of Burgesses met, the petitioners were in custody and brought before the bar of justice and examined. The House then ordered the petitioners to withdraw and reconvened itself into a Committee of the Whole to consider the petition. When it reconvened, Mr. Miles Cary read several resolutions: "That the Grievance of King William County be publicly Burnt as a Scandalous and Seditious Paper; that Roger Mallory, George Dabne, Thomas Spencer, John Downer, Jure Barker, Francis Hill and Benjamin Arnold be brought to the Barr of the House and make their acknowledgement for signing the said paper in these words, I ___, of King William County do with sorrow acknowledge my offense in signing so scandalous and seditious a paper and do humbly beg pardon for the same;" that the petitioners acknowledge their wrong doing "before the House this evening and that they remain in custody till Monday noon and then be discharged paying fees."
1705, 13 Nov: Was brought before the House of Burgesses at 12 noon and told of the resolution and ordered to withdraw. The nature of the petition was never revealed.
1706: Witnessed a deed of Edmond Smith in King William Co., VA.
1709, 10 Mar: Filed a suit against Gawin Corbin in Essex Co., VA.
1716, 3 Nov: With Christopher Smith, received a grant of 2400 acres of land in King William Co., the "Board being Satisfyd of their ability to Cultivate the same according to Law." On the same day, Christopher Smith, Augustine Moore, James Taylor Jr., Benjamin Arnold and Rowland Thomas petitioned the Board for a grant of 5000 acres in King William Co. which was granted.
1719, 2 May: Benjamin Arnold, James Taylor, Edmond Taylor and George Woodruff petitioned for 6000 acres in New Kent Co.
1724, 11 Jun: Thomas Carr Jr., William Smith, Thomas Dickason, Ambrose Joshua Smith, William Mackgee, Ann Arnold of King William Co. and Thomas Martin of Bristol, merchant, petitioned the Board for a proper assignment of 5000 acres in New Kent and 5000 acres on the Elk Creek, both of which tracts now lay in Hanover Co., that had been taken up by James Taylor, Edmund Taylor, Benjamin Arnold, Rowland Thomas and Ambrose Joshua Smith earlier.
James Taylor had made over his part to Thomas Dickinson. Rowland Thomas had assigned his part to Thomas Martin and Thomas Carr. Sarah, the widow of Edmund Taylor, had made over her fifth part to William Smith and William Mackgee. The petitioners prayed that the Surveyor of Hanover Co. would lay off the land into distinct surveys of 1000 acres each and that separate patents be granted to each of the petitioners. [NOTE: Since Ann signed the petition, Benjamin must have been deceased.]
1727, 14 Dec: George Woodruff petitioned the Council of VA at Williamsburg in reference to the question of a patent to 380 acres of land in King William Co. on the East North East River. The petition states that Benjamin Arnold "did devise the said land to his daughter Rachel, now the wife of Francis Arnold. But no patent ever sued out for same." The land had been surveyed for him in 1715.
In a 1703 deed of Thomas Hancock to Henry Gravett, witnessed by John Marr, there is reference that Henry Gravett received the land from Elias Downs. Elias Downs was named in Anthony Arnold's inventory as one from whom he had bought lands. An Inge is also mentioned in his inventory. Robert Buttress made an assignment to Vincent Inge, bonded by Arnold Marr of King and Queen Co., 4 Mar 1697. | Arnold, Benjamin (I29501)

"George- Slocombe {George,^) surname often written Slocum,
was born about the beginning of the i8th century, in Maryland. He received grants of land in old Dorchester County as follows:
in 1740, 1747, when he went before the court and "set forth that his father, George Slacum, 10 Sep. 1716, received Grant for parcel of land called Priviledge, 174 acres under New Rent, and by his Will"
. . George- received further grants in 1759, 1764, 1765, the last being for 422 acres of the tract called 'Slacombs Cow Pasture. He deeded land in old Dorchester County, 14 January, 1785, for the consideration of £246 lbs gold 'or silver money of equal value.'
No account of his death has been found. Perhaps he followed his sons to Pennsylvania, after the sale of his land mentioned above.
Children, perhaps not all born in the order given, viz. :
i. Amos. Went to Pennsylvania in early life. Was there granted 400 acres of land 5 November, 1792.

History of Dorchester County, Elias Jones, page 218.
George Slacum is mentioned in problems for recuriting for the Patriot cause. Was he a Loyalist?
To the Honourable The Council of Safety of Maryland. The memorial of Thomas Sparrow, Humbly sheweth That agreable to the warrant your Honours was pleased to grant me for the purpose of recruiting men for the service of this State, I repaired to Dorchester county where I had had the promise of a sufficient number, and firmly believes that I could have enlisted them, but for the reasons hereafter mentioned.
I was four days on my passage from Annapolis to Cambridge, and on my arival Major Thomas Muse being dead, I was obliged to wate a week before I could acquaint your Honours therewith. Colonel Traverse knowing the disapointment I had met with, told me he was going to Annapolis, and should soon return with an answer, if I would write to have another Gentleman appointed to assist me with cash for the recruits. I waited six days after Colonel Travers's return to his House at Hooper's Island for the letter directed to Capt Daffin, which Gentleman supply'd me with a Horse to ride for it, as Col. Traverse had omitted to send it to him.
I received the letter, and on my return to Cambridge, heard the corps belonging to Dorchester County was to meet at the Lightwood knot chappie. Mr Peter Carvil told he would ride to that place with me, and made no doubt but that I would enlist thirty men, as he had heard many intended to meet me there for that purpose. I had not received any cash, but as that opportunity offered, I concluded to advance the Small Sum I had to bear my expences, which if not Sufficient, Mr Carvil offered to supply me with, and to do him justice he was the only friend I had in the field who had courage enough to stand by me. I proceeded to do my duty, and undertook to read the resolve of Convention with respect to raising matrosses. One of the Company told me it was all false and if any man should enlist, he would be sent to Philadelphia, and not to Annapolis, and that they were damned fools that would go to either to fight against their King. I then told him he was a Tory, another told me I should not come there to find any thing else; I told him I hoped to find it otherwise.
A young man then desired to hear the proposals; I attempted to read them to him, but one of the Company struck the paper, and many of them made such a noise, that prevented me from informing those who wanted to enlist. I then put up my papers, lest they should take them from me. About an hour after a man called me aside and told me he would enlist at Cambridge, for he was afraid to do it there. Mr George Slakum overheard him, and said Dam your forty shillings, it is not worth six pence. I have gold and silver enough, and will give fifty shillings to a man either to fight for the King, or not fight against him, which of the two I am not positive, but believe I can prove both, if I can be enabled to go there for the evidences.
Mr George Slakum told me I was a damned rascal in offering to enlist men against the King and they were damned fools that would go with me. I saw immediately after that in different places men whispering together, at which time a young man as he passed by me said goe off immediately or you will be murthered. I took his advice. It being dark, I knew not the road perfectly. In a few minutes I heard some horses in full speed coming after me; on which I took to the woods and made my escape for that time. It would take up too much time to relate what I suffered in that night, which had almost cost me my life.
In Cambridge I received of Capt. Daffin eight pounds, which he told me was at his own risque, being bound up by the Instructions he received not to advance more than forty Shillings at one time, but as I proved to him the inconveniency attending it he advanced me more. When I came away I returned him the whole Sum advanced.
I have advanced some cash to the men I have enlisted, to do which I was under the necessity to sell my sword and watch. As I have been so much disapointed in getting men, I was determined not to make use of the public money. In Cambridge I next beat up for men in the presence of many of our principal Gentlemen, being the time of the Election. I had a flag made of two sheets of small bills, which one of a mob that had raised against me, often attempted to take from the man who had it and struck him. They then proceeded to insult me, and was very industrious in advising men not to enlist.
John Chalmers seeing the treatment I met with told me he had two swords and that I was welcome to one of them. I accepted of one of them and soon chased the Town of my enemies. Lieutenant James Gray was much my friend in this affair. I intended next to goe to New Market as I understood there was to be two days races, but my friends advised me not, as It was expected many of Capt. Andrew's men would be there, and I should be used ill. I complained to many of the Committee, and in particular to Capt. Daffen and Mr Ennals who told me the night I came away they were sorry I was so ill used, but that it was out of their power to help it, and advised me to apply to your Honours, who I hope will find my Conduct in this matter to have been such as will not disgrace the warrant you Honoured me with, which conduct I am determined to pursue in any station you may think proper to place me in, if it is only a private, and hope that the trifling eregularities I have some years ago committed, may not prevent me from being prefer'd according to the services I have, and am willing to render in the present dispute.
