  Note	Story from Verna Rissell: 'While in Young's Cove Road, New Brunswick, Canada, I saw a report of the death of Ebenezer's father, Charles Slocum, who married Sarah Allen, daughter of Ebenezer and Margaret Allen. On April 9 1777, two Yankees came to his house, had dinner and were treated to cider, after which they stood by the garden fence and chatted pleasantly. Suddenly, one drew a pistol and shot Mr. Slocum through the body, and he died in a few moments. The son, Ebenezer (aged abt. 22 years), avenged the death by killing many of the rebels. At one time, 25 men came to the house to capture him. He was upstairs in bed. The Captain posted a man at each window and two over the portico where there was a hole in the roof. The article doesn't say how he escaped.'
