Elijah Peaslee settled on Catamount Mountain in Pittsfield NH, and is said to be buried there under a large boulder.
[Note---Hazel Avery Poor, citing Elijah Peaslee�s bible, stated that Elijah and Esther were married on �17 January 1766�, a month before their intentions were recorded. It is possible that the date should read 17 March 1766. The bible was in the possession of a Mr. David Peaslee of North Sandwich NH in the late 1940s, and an examination of the bible might prove helpful, if it still exists.]
[Note---According to Records of the Seabrook (NH) Montly Meeting of Friends (21:22), "At the monthly meeting at Amesbury on the 20th of 3rd month, 1766, Elijah Peaslee and Esther Goodwell (sic) had their anser (sic) in order to marige (sic)".]

[Note---The death year of 1848 for John, recorded in the records of the Weare NH Monthly Meeting, is probably incorrect. On 7 October 1846, his wife Hannah signed a probate instrument stating that she was satisfied with the conditions of his will, which was submitted for probate on that date. 1846 seems more likely.]
