Another ancestor is Peleg Edwards. I do not have much on this man but he fought in the Revolution and had the rank of corporal. Peleg was born in 1755 in Preston, CT and he married Margaret King from West Greenwich, RI (any info on her would be helpful) When they married, Peleg may have been living in Hopkinton, RI. They married Aug 15, 1770 in Stonington, CT Below is a description of Peleg's regiment: RECORD OF SERVICE OF CONN MEN- WAR OF THE REVOLUTION, WAR OF 1812 AND MEXICAN WAR- 1889 8TH Regiment Col Huntingdon p89 served July 12 1775- Dec 10 1775 Regiment raised by order of the Assembly at the July session 1775. recuited mainly in New London, Hartford and Windham Counties.

Jan 1, 1777 he was in a prisoner exchange and left in Milford without food or shelter. From other sources, I can gather these men only had summer clothing. In 1790, Peleg lived in Woodbridge, CT. When he died I don't know. Peleg's daughter Phoebe married, as his second wife, William White III. William had been in the revolution, as well, at age 14. He was from Mass. Valerie in NJ
