The monument placed in New York on Capt. Aaron Slocum's grave in 1891 reflects a statement for Giles and Joan Slocum, his ancestors, in their memory. Giles and Joan are buried in Rhode Island. He is not buried in the cemetery in New York.

He is sometimes reported to have been the son of Anthony Slocombe.

"It is suggestive that Giles- Slocum, 2, of Portsmouth, near Newport, Rhode Island, purchased land in East New Jersey as early as 20 May, 1667, and again in 1670; also that his son John, grandson of Anthony, was a freeholder, and was admitted a Freeman, in East New Jersey in May, 1668." Source: History of the Slocums, Slocumbs and Slocombs of America, genealogical and biographical, embracing twelve generations of the first-named family from A.D. 1637 to 1908, with their marriages and descendants in the female lines as far as ascertained by Slocum, Charles Elihu, 1841-1915.
