Excerpt from A Short History of the Slocums, Slocumbs and Slocombs of America: Genealogical and Biographical; Embracing Eleven Generations of the First-Named Family From 1637 to 1881: With Their Alliances and the Descendants in the Female Lines So Far as Ascertained; Also the Etymology of Those Surnames, an Account of Some Researche

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.

He that to ancient wreathes can bring no more From his own worth, dies bankrupt on the score. John Cleveland.

I am one
Who finds within me a nobility
That spurns the idle pratings of the great,
And their mean boast of what their fathers were,
While they themselves are fools effeminate,
The scorn of all who know the worth of mind
And virtue. James Gates Percival.

The reputation of a man is like his shadow: It sometimes follows and sometimes precedes him; it is sometimes longer and sometimes shorter than his natural size. - French Proverb.
