Hi Bill I was wondering if you might have any info on Peleg 1, Peleg 2, and Tracy Ballard. What I have is pretty sketchy. I cannot seem to find much. Also were anyone in the tree in the civil war?

Connecticut Ancestry Society, Inc. Fall Program Fairfield County Loyalist Documents and Ghostly Encounters with Paul J. Bunnell, UE Sunday, October 26, 2008 from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at the New Cannan Historical Society 13 Oenoke Ridge, New Canaan, CT The Revolutionary War was the first Civil War in this region, pitting brother against brother, and father against son. Paul began his own genealogy not expecting it would lead him to a soldier in the company of Benedict Arnold. He has since become a leading expert in the field of Loyalist studies and is the founder and editor of the “Loyalist Quarterly”, the only U.S. Loyalist newsletter devoted to that history. This lecture is centered around the Loyalist ship, Union, and its passengers, many from Fairfield County who fled from New York City in 1783 for Saint John, Nova Scotia (New Brunswick) and their settlement at Kingston, New Brunswick. Paul will also discuss other families from the area and the type of documents you will find during research. His encounter with his Loyalist ancestors ghost in 1985 and the documents, photos and physic experiences that followed will shock you in what some research can uncover. Admission is free. However, please RSVP to Connecticut Ancestry Society with the number of attendees at (203) 778-4794 or via rlocke@ralii.com to ensure available seating.

Have tracked many descendants, and most state that they know they are of Native American descent.
