Edward Pegram, Jr.

According to Louise Heflin's family history she reports that Slaughter's Hisotroy of Bristol Parish, page 206 says Edward Pegram II was appointed a special commander by the Colonial Government to defend his parish and country from the attack of the Indians, and his services in this capacity obtained him the title of King Pegram. He was a captain of marked distinction in the Revolutionary War in Washington's army and served as a juror in the trial of Aaron Burr. He stood 6 ft. 6 in in his stockings and was proportionately large.
