Hudson [3] Peavey born in 1711, presumably inherited, and continued to live on the John Hudson place in Newington which, I understand, was located on the turnpike from Boston to Dover and northern points. For many years the Peavey family conducted it as an inn for the post road travelers.

The venerable Jackson Hoyt of Newington tells me that his aunt, born in 1825, said that the original buildings were in a state of neglect and decay when she was a girl (about 100 years ago). The Peaveys had moved away (Hopley's family) and left the buildings to fall down, one after another. Cyrus Frink finally got the place and built a large brick house on the spot. His son, Darious Frink, inherited the place, and a nephew of Darious, also named Darious Frink, is living there today.

The old Peavey elms that stood on the edge of the highway were the admiration of all, but only one is now left. This elm has a curious curve formation on one of its lower limbs and is beautifully portrayed in Wallace Nutting's "New Hampshire Beautiful".
