Family talk:Jonathan Peabody and Mercy Kimball (1)

Unattributed text [27 March 2015]

"JONATHAN PEABODY came from Andover when young, married Phebe Kimball, of Bethel, and had five children, Priscilla (Mrs. Ben Bean), Phebe, Sally (Mrs. John Messer), Amos and Oliver. He afterwards married Prudence Patterson, a widow with three children, Betsy, Jennie and Hosea. From this marriage there were five more children, Mercy (Mrs. Amos Evans), Philena, Charlotte (Mrs. Nathan Newell), Asa and Jonathan. Oliver Peabody married Susy Messer and lived with his father. His children were John, Loammi, Nancy (Mrs. Noah Gould), Eliza, Betsey, Sally (Mrs. Peter Runnels) and Samuel. Jonathan Peabody Jr. had three wives. Three of his children, Warren, Augustus and Eliza, married, respectively, Mary, Lydia, and Charles Tenny."

Apparently comes from Source:Peabody, Mrs R P. History of Shelburne, New Hampshire, p. 23. May be this family though Priscilla's birth record hasn't been located yet. Obviously got the name of Jonathan's wife wrong, and who knows what else. --Jrich 04:09, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
