- Enoch and his wife lived at Kent until 1762, when they moved to Stockbridge, Berkshire County, Massachusetts. They left with their family, February 1793, and arrived at Union (now Newark Valley), Tioga County, New York, March 4, 1793.[Slosson 11-20-00 Greene.FTW]
BURIAL: Joined church in Stockbridge, Mass 7 Nov 1762. Moved to Brown's
Settlement on Boston Purchase 17 Feb 1793 (now Newark Valley, Tioga Co., NY).
Wife Sarah was first member of new church 20 Nov 1803. Enoch was under censure
from previous church, so could not join church at above until censure was
repealed in 2 Jul 1820. It was repealed because censurer confessed lying on his
death bed.
Excerpt from "Slosson Genealogy" by D. Williams Patterson:
His ear-mark for cattle, was recorded in Stockbridge, in March 1768, "a half penny in upper side of both ears"; and he was chosen constable in 1769.
The church book of Stockbridge has the following records: "At a meeting of the church, August 17, 1786, on a complaint exhibited against Enoch Slosson, a member of the church, for charging Capt. Whittlesey with partiality, in giving his evidence under oath, and that he had sworn to that which he (Slosson) had never said or thought.:
"Voted, that is appears to the brethren of this church, that Mr. Slosson has broken Christian rule in making the charge against Capt. Whittlesey, which is contained in the complaint."
"At a meeting of the church, 21st Dec., 1788";---
"Voted, that whereas Mr. Slosson refuses to make the satisfaction which the laws of Christ require for the offenses of which he has been quilty; he be solemnly admonished by the pastor and brethren of the church, to repent of these his sins. The admonition was accordingly immediately given him by the pastor and brethren."
In February 1793, they left Stockbridge, for Brown's Settlement, on the Boston Purchase, with a portion of their children, in company with their son Ezbon, and his family. They reached their destination on the fourth day of March, and began their settlement in a bark-covered shanty, on the bank of the creek, near where Sturtevant's gristmill stands, in the village of Newark Valley, Tioga County, New York. This was the first house built on the site of the village; and the wives of Enoch and Ezbon Slosson, were the first women who dwelt within the limits of the town; and they did not see another woman from the time they came into the place till the next September.
On the 17th of November, 1803, more than ten years after they settled in the wilderness, the first church in Tioga (afterward, the first church in Berkshire, and now the first church in Newark Valley), was formed. Mrs. Slosson, having been granted a letter of dismission from the church in Stockbridge, Oct. 2, 1803, was admitted to this new church, on Sunday after its organization, Nov. 20, 1803; she being the first one admitted. Mr. Slosson could not join with her, as he was still under censure of the Stockbridge church, and so remained until Capt. Whittlesey, on his death-bed, acknowledged the wrong which he had done to Slosson; asking pardon of him and of the church; on which the church sent to Slosson a letter of dismission, on which he joined the church in Berkshire, July 2, 1820. His troubles so wore upon him, that, at times, during the last years of his life, he was subject to mental derangement. His first log house (the bark-roofed shanty belonged to his son) stood where Dr. C.R. Heaton now lives. They were buried in the old burial ground in Berkshire, New York.
