Ebook A Short History of the Slocums, Slocumbs and Slocombs of America

The research and the eftorts to make this a full and trust worthy genealogical history have probably been as thorough as in most undertakings of the kind; and it is believed that no considerable number of families have borne the surname Slocum, Slocumb, or Slocomb, in America who are not herein represented. Completeness, however, may be considered an impossibility in a work of this character, covering so many years and with so many scattered families and lost records, and, withal, where so many who could aid in the work are disinclined to do 50. Where the records or reports have been fragmentary or indefinite marks of doubt are inserted, particularly if any inference is expressed. Wherever present time is intimated the reader may understand that the year 1880 is the time referred to.
