    Notes 
    • "George Slawson: An American Pioneer" by Harold D. Slosson: Abner was getting older, and in that day of early marriages was probably called an old bachelor by his friends. Finally, at the age of thirty-three, he had a romance with a local girl, being married on March 14, 1833, to Nancy Marean. the years likewise had been moving by for Nancy, who was two years older than Abner, having been born on July 11, 1798, the daughter of Thomas and Esther (Patterson) Marean.
      Nancy's folks - The Pattersons and the Mareans - were pioneers in that area, having arrived in 1786, the year after Binghampton was founded. At the time of their arrival, according to old notes, there were only four houses in that area.....
      Abner's home at Newark Valley was only about a dozen miles from these commercially promising cities. But he did not feel the urge to join them in their growth. Rather, he and Nancy, after marriage, moved a short way to the east to another small village called Maine, just over the line in Broome County. He has been handed down to the writer that Abner's farm was a good one. Also, that it was close in, being only a mile from the village.
      Nancy and Abner had three children, born and raised on their farm, as follows: John Marean Slosson, born March 29, 1835, ...;Rebecca Emily Slosson, born the next year, was later married to Eldad Barber; and finally came Albert Slosson, born in 1838, who never married.
      The Abner Slossons, as near as is known, had a successful but rather uneventful life on their farm, probably helping with church and community affairs. finally, on March 2, 1865 - just a month before the close of the Civil War - Nancy passed on. Shortly afterward Abner sold his farm, as did his son, Albert, and then, together with Abner's daughter Rebecca Barber, they moved west to Northwood, Iowa, to be with Abner's first-born son, John Marean Slosson, already established there.
      It is believed that this change in location was in the nature of a retirement, "moving to town." Finally, in 1877, at the age of seventy-seven years, Abner passed on to his reward. His son, Albert, lived until 1904, with his sister, Rebecca, having passed away sometime after her marriage to Eldad Barber in 1883.
