Wife of Jeremy Slocum
ae 59 years, 7 months, 3 daysSarah was the daughter of Jonathan and Relief (Fife) Whitcomb.

She married Jeremy Slocum 20 Feb 1809.
He was born 07 Nov 1780 in Templeton, MA.

There may have been 5 children but I've only verified 2; Thomas b.29 May 1812 in Florida (Berskhire) Massachusetts and Elizabeth b.29 Jan 1825 in the same place.

Elizabeth married Archimedes Burr Wynkoop.
After Wynkoop disappeared she may have lived with her grandson, Nile for a period of time. In any event, in 1850 she was in Waukegan & in 1880 in Wauconda.
I believe her husband died in California and possibly of mercury poisoning. He was quite a character in Lake Co., Il.
