      Emigrated to America with his brother, probably on the ship JONAS in 1637. Was
      in Sandwich, MA on Cape Cod in 1638. Moved to Stamford, Fairfield County, CT in either 1641 or 1642. Apparently he did not like Stamford, and returned to
      Plymouth County, MA, where he married, though the name of his wife is unknown.

      George Slason was in Lynn, Essex County, Massachusetts by 1637 and soon afterward in Sandwich, Barnstable County (Cape Cod), by 1638. the name of George Slason (but not THOMAS) was awarded 2 acres in a division of meadow land in Sandwich dated 16 April 1640.

      The Slason "brothers" apparently removed from Sandwich to Stamford during the first year of settlement of that town. Thomas Slason was granted a house lot and another 3 acres, and presumably George was also, but no record of such a grant to George seems to have been preserved. There is no further record of this Thomas Slason in Stamford and although it has been claimed that he quickly returned to the Plymouth Colony, it also seems possible that the single record for Thomas in Stamford instead belonged to George all along and that Thomas therefore never existed -- at least not as a Stanford resident.
