Notes

there were three successive Pelegs, the first was a Deacon in Duxbury, where he was born and died, he was married to Susanna Sampson. The second, their son, was the General, he was married to Elizabeth Bartlett and they both died in Hiram, Maine. The third, commonly known in the family as "Peleg, Jr." was married to Lusannah (with an "h") Wadsworth (Wadsworth was her maiden name as well as her married name, she was the daughter of Dura Wadsworth and Lydia Bradford, Dura being a brother of General Peleg Wadsworth, so Peleg Jr. and Lusannah were first cousins).
