From another researcher: Peleg Lawton signed the marriage bond for William Boush and Anne Jones June 2, 1767 in Perquimans Co, Edenton District. Other signer was William Newbold. Witness: Miles Harvey. Pelig may be spelled Peleg. PERQUIMANS COUNTY, NC - CENSUS - 1790 Census, Edenton District Lawton, Peleg, 2,0,0,0,19 (19 slaves) He appears to have died in PASQUOTANK COUNTY, NC around 1796--there are loose estate papers on his estate showing the date 1796. He may be connected to my John and Elizabeth Pool family, which turned up in Rowan Co. NC around 1810 with a considerable sum of money to buy land. Where did the money come from?.
