| Biographical Note |
- A copy of Eliezer's will is in the History of the Slocums. Eliezer resided in Dartmouth as a yeoman. According to the History of the Slocums, 'In the confirmatory deed of Governor William Bradford, 13 November, 1694, Eliezer Slocum and his brothers Giles and Peleg were named among the proprietors of Dartmouth which then included the present Townships of Dartmouth, New Bedford, Westport, and Fairhaven. He dealt quite extensively in lands, and was very successful in the accumulation of property considering the newness of the country and the various unfavourable circumstances of his time. The oppressions of the New Plymouth and Massachusetts governments show a marked contrast between the civil standing of these brothers, and all other members of the Society of Friends, who settled in Dartmouth and those who resided in Rhode Island. The former were excluded from the rights of citizenship and the privilege of holding office, though they were obliged to bear their proportion of the governmental burden; while the presence and counsel of the latter were much sought in directing public affairs. Eliezer's will was proved 30 July, 1727 and his estate was appraised at L5,790. 18s. 11d.'
