Capt. George Peckham. One of the original settlers in Madison, New York. Helped found the Quaker Settlement there. Madison was considered the edge of the Indian Territory at the time. Capt Peckham came to Madison from Newport RI. He was also a Revolutionary War soldier. He is buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in Hamilton, New York.

Not sure if he and wife Hannah were cousins. She has the maiden name of Peckhan (daughter of Daniel Peckham). But I do not have Daniel's parents to prove the cousin idea.
