Incidents at the Slosson Place
Among those who saw considerable of the British,even more than was agreeable, was Wi11am Slosson, who settled on a farm two miles south of Chazy village, in 1807. His son,
Horace Slosson, was then five years old, and has resided on the farm ever since. A portion if the original house, built In 1808, is still standing.
On the British advance, William S1osson was pressed into the service, with his team, to carry baggage from Chazy to Plattsburgh. On their retreat our militia captured five British soldiers and six horses In the vicinity. The British also "gobbled up" Mr. Slossson, and held him prisioner over one night.
