Many thanks for this information, I guessed it was not very large but until you visit a place it really is guess work. The person b. on Prudence Island was Peleg Sullivan in 1857, parents not known nor siblings, wifw not known but Peleg's son was born in South Kingston 1793 a Potter SULLIVAN and some other siblings. You did say there was no South Kinston as this spelling but this may have changed, and I can say that he lived in Exeter, I have just transcribed his pension application which gives a lot of information of Peleg himself, I did try the Cyndi's RI site but there seemed no records online. With this little info I do not know if only Peleg was b. on Prudence and siblings in Exeter but do know he had widowed mother to support at his time in the Militia.
