Kathleen, Thanks for your reply to my comments about Mary Peachey and for calling this to my attention. I could be wrong about Mary being the widow of Samuel Peachey. However, I am away from home and all of my records right now. When I return home in a few days, I will check my sources. Without my notes in front of me, I had better reserve any comment for later.
