| Church of East Rochester. This was situated
in "Peaveyville" on the Lebanon side of the river. Deacon Bryant [6] later
came into possession of the old Dame garrison house in Dover. The
Dame garrison was built by William Dame, born in 1653 - son of the original
John Dame, and is now in the Woodman Institute at Dover - a gift to the
Institute by Mrs. Ellen Peavey Rounds, Bryant [6] Peavey's daughter Ellen
married Holmes B. Rounds in 1857. Mrs. Rounds, at one time lived
in the old Dame garrison, but now lives in Dover at 210 Central Street.
I had a very pleasant interview with her in 1929.
Thomas [5] Peavey, uncle of Deacon Bryant and brother of Oliver [5] Peavey, settled in Ossipee. He had at least one son, Thomas [6] Peavey, and the town record also states that Thomas [6] Peavey and Deborah had the following children: Nicholas [7] Peavey, born in 1825 and died in Ossipee in 1883, George W.

Churchill in 1878. George [7] was a physician. Recently I was in communication with S. F. [7] Peavey of New York and James F. [7] Peavey of New Bedford. 1 will set down what I can of their ancestry. There was a Simon [5] Peavey on Rochester tax lists from 1810 to 1847. This suggests he was born around 1790. So we can trace from Edward [I], Abel [2], and Thomas [3] who went to Rochester. Thomas [3] had at least five sons: Oliver [4], William Chandler [4], Daniel [4], Anthony [4] and Durgin [4]. It is very probable that the next in line before Simon [5] was not Anthony [5] or Oliver [5], as we have rather complete records of these families. It might have |
