Person:John Peabody (32)

Possible Relative

Selim Hobart Peabody theorized that John Pabodie of Duxbury was a close relative (possibly a first cousin) of John Peabody of Great Glen, Leicestershire^[2]. They were certainly not the same person, but named 3 of their sons the same, including Francis, which was a rare name at the time.
