Note: This is a cenotaph; the actual burial location for Margaret is not known.

Margaret was the daughter of Charles Slocum and Sarah Allen of Dartmouth, Mass., Portsmouth, RI, and N. Kingstown, RI. She m. N. Kingstown 26 April 1778 Peleg ARNOLD, the son of Joseph Arnold and Hannah Gifford of N. Kingstown and Exeter, RI. There is an error in the marriage record, either from the original record, or from James N. Arnold's transcription, which gives the groom's name as George Arnold, instead of Peleg Arnold. There was no George Arnold in N. Kingstown who could have married Margaret; in fact, George was the son of Peleg and Margaret. There was a George Arnold in Warwick, and another in Smithfield, but their wives were not Margaret Slocum.

The death notice for Margaret appears in both the Providence Gazette and the Rhode Island American, dated 12 April 1823. Margaret and Peleg had six known children, born from 1779 to 1791.
