In 1743, two years after Robert's estate was finally settled, the two sons united in a deed to William Andrews for the land "where Robert Slocumb the elder formerly lived." Andrews deeded it back to Ryley alone the next year, and in 1747 he sold the 100 acres to Nathaniel Shay.

By this time Robert's eldest son and heir-at-law Thomas Slocomb had come of age and so his father's unsettled estate was administerd to him.) It was ordered that John Johnson, John Tankard, William Nicholson and Roger Abbott (or any three of them) inventory and appraise the estate of Robt.
