In 1710 the N. H. State Papers show Abel [2] Peavey on "Col. Walton's Command" among the French War Rolls. Probably this was on the expedition to Port royal. Again I find in a 1715 list of names for adjustment on the new meeting house expenses, the names of Abel [2] and Edward [1]. This is from the Newington town records.

In the archives at Concord under date of 1713 William [2] Peavey of Portsmouth appears as a witness to a deed, and in 1715 William [2] and Sarah Peavey joined the Portsmouth North Church and had their children William [3] and Mary, baptized (G.R.). In 1719 Peter [ ] Peavey of Hampton gets a legacy of land from Thomas Roby of Hampton for "serving him faithfully". This is from the bound volumes of the early state probate records. Peter [2] is said to have been born in 1697, by the Vital Records, of Andover, Massachusetts. There is a Thomas Roby in the early Portsmouth town records, which ties up Peter [2] with Portsmouth Peaveys, Roby evidently having moved to Hampton, the next town, and taken Peter [2] with him.

From the above it will be seen that the earliest mention of any adult of the family besides Edward [1] is in 1710, 19 years after Edward [1] is first mentioned in Portsmouth. Of course it is possible that some of these men were brothers to Edward [I], but it is not probable. I infer that Abel [2], Nathanael [2], Joseph [2], William [2] and Peter [2] were all sons of Edward [1].
