From Velton Peabody (PEABODY@LOCALNET.COM): JOHN PEABODY1 was born about 1590 in St. Albans, Hertford Co., England. He probably came to the Plymouth Colony in 1635 or 1636, for his name appears on the list of freemen of the colony dated March 7, 1636/37, and he was admitted and sworn with others whose names were on that list on Jan. 2, 1637/8. He married Isabel Harper, sister of Thomas Harper of London, England. John Peabody received a grant of 10 acres of land Jan. 1, 1637/8, "on Duxburrow side, lying betwixt the lands of William Tubs on the north side and those of Experience Mitchell on the south side, and from the sea in the west; and from Blew Fish River in the easte." Another tract, granted him Nov. 2, 1640, was 30 acres "with meadow to it" at North River. He was a member of the jury that convicted three young Englishmen of the murder of an Indian on Sept. 4, 1638, and of the "Grand Inquest" at the court June 4, 1639. He was one of the sureties on a neighbor's bond June 4, 1645.

In 1645, John Peabody and his son, William, were among the original proprietors of Bridgewater, Mass. He was a witness with Thomas Winterton against Edward Richards when he was tried in court at Salem 4:9:1645, on a charge of making a false statement to them concerning shipboard killings. Richards was convicted and fined 10 shillings and ordered to acknowledge his sin before the congregation at Lynn.

John's will, dated July 16, 1649, at Duxbury, was proved Apr. 27, 1666/7 at Boston:

"In and about the sixteenth of July in the yeare of our Lord 1649 I John Paybody of Duxbrook in the Collonie of New Plymoute planter being in prfect health and sound in memory God be blessed for it doe ordaine and make this my last Will and Testament In maner and forme as foloweth;

John Peabody

Capt. John Peabody was son of Lieut. Francis and Mary (Foster) Peabody, and was born in 1642. He was the first of the name born in America. In 1665 he took to himself a wife from the Village, having settled here two years pre- viously. His house stood where the barn stands at the summer residence of the late Hon. Julius A. Palmer- Mr. Palmer's wife being a lineal descendant of Capt. John Peabody. The old house was standing until about 15 years ago, when it was razed to the ground by Mr. Palmer. It was a large, two story square mansion, as it was the custom in the early times, the walls were filled in with brick. On the front the second story projected about a foot over the first story. While in the last days of its existence it presented a most forlorn and dreary appearance. It stood in an open field alone; and in the front, near the road, was an old tumbledown wall over which the blackberry and other vines had trailed themselves in labyrinthian texture. For many years a selectman (John Peabody) , and twenty-four years a town clerk, he was the principle town officer. His chirography is very good..his 1690 autograph is on this page.. In the militia he attained the degree of captain, which appellation he bore until his death. (descendants listed on this page). p. 36-37
