I have spoken on page seven of the three sons of Hudson [3] Peavey. Thomas [4] Peavey, as noted on page 26, went to Rochester about 1750.  His son, Oliver [5] Peavey, baptized in 1742, is mentioned on page 27.  I had occasion to visit Mrs. Ellen S. Rounds of 210 Central Street, Dover, and she said her grandfather was Oliver [5] Peavey of Milton or Middleton.  He was born in 1772 and died in 1839.  He married Patience Young. Presumably he was a son of the First Oliver [4] Peavey.  The children of Oliver [4] and Patience were, according to Mrs. Rounds, Oliver [6] Peavey, William [6] Peavey, Bryant [6] Peavey, Anthony [6] Peavey, John [6] Peavey, Patience (married Wendell), Naomi (married Twombly) and Nancy (married Downing).

John [6] Peavey went to sea and was never heard from. Anthony [6] Peavey had two daughters, Annie and Sarah, who lived between 18 and 25.  Mrs. Rounds says he lived in Portsmouth.  Oliver [6] Peavey married Mrs. Mary Hurd in 1822, according to Dover records.  Mrs. Rounds says he had no children.

William [6] Peavey, born in 1829, married Eunice Kenney and went to Exeter, Maine.  He had three sons, Darious [7] Peavey (a Civil War soldier and later a sea captain), Paul [7] Peavey (who at one time kept a hotel at Batten, Maine) and Hiram [7] Peavey.  New Hampshire records also state that his son Levi [7] Peavey, born in 1849, married in 1880 his second wife Harriet B. Garland and lived in Farmington, New Hampshire. Hiram [7] Peavey married Mehitable Watson and had three children, George [8] Peavey, born in 1847 and died in 1927, Thomas Watson [8] Peavey, born in 1849 and died in Rochester in 1919, married in 1879 to Cynthia Hersome in Rochester, and Eliza who married Renaldo Parkman.  I am indebted to Mrs. Parkman for much of this information.  She now lives in Dexter, Maine.

Bryant [6] Peavey, son of Oliver [5] (born in 1772), was born in 1808 in Milton or Middleton, and died in 1886.  He married Anna Twombly in 1833 and had two daughters, Ellen S., born in 1841 and Keziah, born in 1834.  Bryant [6] Peavey was a greatly respected citizen.  He spent much of his life in Rochester, where he was known as Deacon Bryant [6] Peavey of the Freewill Baptist
