| About 1776 he seems to be located in Barrington.
His children were James [4], bom in 1772: John [4], born in 1776, both
by Arabella. Hudson [5] was born in 1779, and Betsy [5] in 1783, both by
his second wife, Abagail Chesley of Durham, whom he married in 1778. (Barrington
Records). There was also a son, Winthrop [5], of whom little is known.
The Revolutionary war Rolls mention a Winthrop, born in 1765, who enlisted
at Dover, Maybe this is the one.
Reference is constantly made to Joseph [4] in the town records, with his brother, John [4]. He died in Barrington, in what is now Strafford. (James [4] lived in the old homestead in Newington.) Joseph [4] made his will in 1826, which was probated in 1830. Hudson [5] was executor, and his wife Abigail and all the children, including Winthrop [5], were mentioned therein. A little cemetary at Strafford shows the stones for Joseph [4] and Abagail, his wife, both of them dying in 1830. In the same cemetary a stone says John [4] Peavey born in 1755 - died 1845. (Veteran). His wife, Lois, is buried beside him - evidently the Lois Coolbath whose marriage to John [4] is noted in 1777 in the "Adams Diary". The well known Ambrose Swasey, of Warner & Swasey, Cleveland, whose mother was a daughter of Hudson [5] Peavey, moved their bodies there from the family burying ground and erected a Peavey monument. There are several other Peaveys marked on various stones in this cemetary. James [5] Peavey, born in Newington 1772, married Mary Dame in November, 1792, according to my family notes. Mary Dame was born in 1772 of the parents of Theordore Dame and Mary (Nutter) Dame. The tax lists of Epping, New Hampshire show James to have been there from 1796 to 1818, In 1820 he held the town office in Newmarket, New Hampshire of "surveyor of lumber". Later he moved to Exeter, New Hampshire. |
