1. THOMAS1 PEVERLY, of Portsmouth, was married about 1644, and was therefore born as early as 1623, probably in the southwestern part of England. He died between 19 Apr. and 30 June 1670. He married JANE2 WALFORD, daughter of Thomas1 and Jane Walford (Stackpole's History of Kittery, p. 33), who married secondly Richard Goss(*) (N. H. State Papers, vol. 31, pp. 92, 224).

In 1652 he had an "outlot" of 50 acres (town records). In 1653 he had 6 2/3 acres (ib.). He was made freeman at Exeter in 1657 (REGISTER, vol. 8, p. 77). In 1660 he, as a free commoner in or prior to 1657, was granted 42 acres of the common lands, in addition to 68 acres which he had then received (Brewster's Rambles about Portsmouth, vol. 1, p. 27). Part or all of this was in that part of Portsmouth lying south of the "Plains," and extended from Sagamore Creek to what is still known as Peverly's Hill. His house was on the Creek (N. H. State Papers, vol. 31, p. 87). In 1664-65 he was surveyor of highways (town records).

In his will, dated 19 Apr. 1670 and proved 30 June 1670 (N. H. State Papers, vol. 31, p. 115), which was made when he was "very weake & sick in body," he mentions his wife Jane and his children, the sons (except John) and the daughter Sarah to have their legacies when they "come to age."

Children, born at Portsmouth (as mentioned in his will):

i. MARY,2 b. about 1645; m. before 6 Nov. 1666 JOHN HOLMES (see will of Thomas1 Walford, in N. H. State Papers, vol. 31, pp. 87-88),

b. about 1641 (ib., p. 89).

ii. MARTHA, b. about 1647; m. before 19 Apr. 1670 (???) NOBLE (probably Christopher Noble, who was the only Noble in the
church list of 1678. Cf. Brewster's Rambles about Portsmouth, vol. 1, p. 62).(+)

2. iii. JOHN, b. about 1649.

iv. THOMAS. In 1700 a Thomas Peverly witnessed a deed. The funeral of a Thomas Peverly occurred 9 Sept. 1720 (North Church records).

v. LAZARUS.

vi. SAMUEL.

vii. JEREMIAH.

viii. SARAH.

(+)Lazarus Noble of Portsmouth died 9 May 1727. Among the claims against his estate was one of Martha Noble, for nursing (N. H. State Papers, vol. 32, p. 310). A wife or daughter would have had no such claim, but a mother might, for services to an adult son, or a sister, for services to a brother. The uncommon name Lazarus suggests Lazarus Peverly, brother of Martha (Peverly)
Noble. In 1716 and again in 1735 a Christopher Noble of Portsmouth, perhaps son of Christopher and Martha (Peverly) Noble, with a wife Jane, executed deeds.

2. JOHN2 PEVERLY (Thomas1), of Portsmouth, yeoman, deposed 14 Apr. 1731, "about 82 years of age" (N. H. Deeds, vol. 17, p. 498), and was therefore born about 1649 (at Portsmouth). He died in 1731, his will, dated 5 Sept. 1730 and proved 25 Nov. 1731 (N. H. State Papers, vol. 32, p. 381), having been made when he was "labouring under the infirmitys of age." No record of the name of his wife has been found, but she had a seat in the meeting house in 1693 (Brewster's Rambles about Portsmouth, vol. 1, p. 67).

He was doubtless the eldest son, for he was named as executor of his father's will, and in the event of his mother's remarriage he was to have the entire estate, paying o5 each to the other children.

He is first mentioned in the town records in 1672, when he was allowed 4 shillings for a day's work on the highways with his oxen. In 1673/4 he was alloted 67 acres of the common lands (town records). In 1679 he was summoned for failure to pay the minister's and town rate "for some years past" (ib.). The only Peverly in the Portsmouth tax list in 1688 is a John Peverly. He was a selectman in 1695/6 (N. H. Genealogical Record, vol. 2, p. 101). He and his sons John and Nathaniel were original grantees of Barrington (N. H. State Papers, vol. 9, pp. 41-45).

Children, born at Portsmouth (as mentioned in his will):

3. i. JOHN,3 b. about 1688.

4. ii. NATHANIEL, b. 14 Mar. 1690.

iii. GRACE, b. about 1692; m. WILLIAM Ross (N. H. Deeds, vol. 42, p. 75) of Portsmouth. She covenanted in the North Church in 1709 (N. H. Genealogical Record, vol. 2, p. 54).

Children (surname Ross), b. at Portsmouth:

1. Jonathan, of Portsmouth, joiner. He conveyed, 7 Jan. 1749, lands in Barrington formerly of "my grandfather John Peverly" (N. H. Deeds, vol. 48, p. 390).

2. William, of Portsmouth, carpenter (ib., vol. 39, p. 202). Probably others, who died s.p. before their father.

3. JOHN3 PEVERLY (John,2 Thomas1), of Portsmouth, yeoman, was born at Portsmouth about 1688, and died, leaving a will which was dated 26 Mar. 1753 and was proved 26 Dec. 1759. He married, 5 Feb. 1712/13 (N. H. Genealogical record, vol. 5, p. 42), DELIVERANCE2 LANG, daughter of Robert1 Lang.

He served two weeks at the fort in New Castle during Queen Anne's War (N. H. State Papers, vol. 13, p. 240). In 1758 he gave to the town a lot for a schoolhouse, on the north side of the road now called Peverly Hill Road, leading to Rye (N. H. Deeds, vol. 53, p. 345).

Children, born at Portsmouth (as mentioned in his will):

i. JOHN,4 of Portsmouth, farmer, b. about 1714; dead in 1780, although he was taxed in 1779 (Portsmouth tax lists); m. RACHEL4 BABB, bapt. at Greenland in 1721 (REGISTER, vol. 28, p. 420), daughter of Philip3 (Philip,2 Philip1) and Rachel (Lewis) Babb (see will of Philip3 Babb, dated 29 Apr. 1758 and proved 31 July 1782, in Rockingham Probate Files). In 1748 he petitioned, with others, for a grant of lands (N. H. State Papers, vol. 28, p. 492). In 1757 he had 60 acres and a house at Pembroke (N. H. Deeds, vol. 51, p. 557), which he and his wife Rachel sold in 1759 (ib., vol. 59, p. 393). In 1766 he suffered a common recovery, to bar the entail on the ancestral estate created by his father's will (ib., vol. 87, p. 501), and, with his wife Rachel, sold part or all of it (ib., vol. 79, p. 355). In 1770 John Newmarch had judgment against him for goods sold from Aug. 1764 to Aug. 1766, including 11 gallons of rum (N. H. Court Papers).

ii. TEMPERANCE, bapt. 26 May 1717 (N. H. Genealogical Record, vol. 4, p. 100); m. NATHANIEL3 LEAR of New Castle and Portsmouth, yeoman, b. at New Castle 25 July 1712 (REGISTER, vol. 50, p. 459), son of Tobias2 and Elizabeth (Walker) Lear (N. H. Genealogical Record, vol. 1, p. 23, Granite Monthly, vol. 39, p. 89, N. H. Deeds, vol. 80, p. 168).

6. vi. GEORGE, bapt. 28 Feb. 1724/5 (South Church records).

4. NATHANIEL3 PEVERLY (John,2 Thomas1), of Portsmouth, housewright, born at Portsmouth 14 Mar. 1690 (family Bible,

He married, 13 Nov. 1715 (N. H. Genealogical Record, vol. 5, p. 43), ELIZABETH3 COTTON, born at Portsmouth 29 Mar. 1689, died in May 1765, daughter of Benjamin2 and Elizabeth Cotton (REGISTER, vol. 58, p. 297).

He served in the fort at New Castle for a brief period during Queen Anne's War (N. H. State Papers, vol. 13, p. 241). On 5 Mar. 1715 Benjamin Cotton and Elizabeth, his wife, conveyed to Nathaniel Peverly all his lands in the Plains at Portsmouth lying on the south side of the road to Greenland and "before the door in front of the now dwellinghouse" of the grantor (N. H. Deeds, vol. 11, p. 543).

5. WILLIAM4 PEVERLY (John,3 John,2 Thomas1), of Portsmouth and Dover (1782), husbandman, was born at Portsmouth, and was baptized 18 June 1721 (N. H. Genealogical Record, vol. 4, p. 104). He married first ELIZABETH (???); and probably secondly, at Portsmouth, in Feb. 1777 (town records), JOANNA VICCAR, daughter (?) of John and Johanna (Gummer) Viccar.

On 8 Dec. 1766 he, with his wife Elizabeth, conveyed to Thomas Seavey the land devised to the grantor by John Peverly, his father (N. H. Deeds, vol. 80, p. 159). In 1776 William Peverly and Kinsman Peverly took the Association Test Oath at Portsmouth (Brewster's Rambles about Portsmouth, vol. 1, p. 216). In 1800 William Peverly, upwards of 45 years old, with one female above 45 years of age in his family, was of Dover (United States Census).

Children by first wife, born at Portsmouth and baptized in the South Church there:

i. KINSMAN,5 of Portsmouth and Newington, master mariner, bapt. 19 Feb. 1743/4; m. 30 Nov. 1768 ABIGAIL CARD (South Church records). He was commander, in 1776, of a vessel sent by the New Hampshire Committee of Safety to St. Pierre, Martinique, for gunpowder (N. H. State Papers, vol. 8, p. 75), commander, in 1777, of the privateer Friends Adventure (Adjutant General's Report of 1866, vol. 2, p. 368, N. H. Genealogical Record, vol. 5, p. 165), and commander, in 1778, of the privateer Hero (Deslandes v. Peverly et al., Rockingham Superior Court Files, 4337). He bought land at Rochester in 1778 and sold half of it in 1779 (Strafford Deeds). He was last taxed at Portsmouth in 1779. He is not in the United States Census of 1790.

Children (probably):

1. Elizabeth Kinsman,6 m. at Portsmouth, in Sept. 1796 (town records), William4 Muchmore of Portsmouth, mariner, bapt. at Gosport 13 Sept. 1772 (REGISTER, vol. 66, p. 298), son of Benjamin3 (William,2 John1) and Sarah Muchmore. On the tax list of 1808 William Muchmore is marked "dead." Administration on his estate was granted, 16 Feb. 1814, to his widow Elizabeth (Rockingham Probate Files). Her petition for an allowance, 25 Aug. 1815, states that at the time of her late husband's decease she had three children then and still alive, two of which were under 7 years of age, and that soon after his decease she had another child, which is still alive. She is listed in the Portsmouth directory of 1857 but not in that of 1860-61.

2. Anna Card, b. about 1779; d. in Nov. 1823; m. at Portsmouth, 1 Aug. 1802 (town records), John Whitelock of Portsmouth, printer, bapt. at Kittery Point, Me., 20 Dec. 1778 (church records), probably son of John and Mary (Pray) Whitelock. He was taxed at Portsmouth in 1807, but on the list of 1808 he is marked "Gone." The tradition among his descendants is that he published books containing religious views too liberal for his time, was constrained to leave Portsmouth, and went to Canada. The New Hampshire Patriot of 1 Dec. 1823 announced the death, at Portsmouth, of "Mrs. Nancy Whitelock, aged 44, widow of the late Mr. John Whitelock, printer."

ii. ANN, bapt. 2 Mar. 1745/6.

iii. JOHN,(*) of Portsmouth, mariner, b. before 1755.(+)

(*) In 1790 an unnamed "Peverly son of William" was taxed at Portsmouth. The following year John Peverly was taxed and continued to be taxed until 1798. He is described as a mariner. One John Peverly was again taxed in 1811-1813.

(+)This date was furnished by Charles H. Batchelder, Esq. iv. MARY (probably), b. about 1761 (pension record); d. 2 Jan. 1850; m. "in the spring or summer of 1783" (pension record) GEORGE4 HUNTRESS of Newington, husbandman, a soldier in the Revolution (pension record), b. at Portsmouth about 1761, d. 12 Mar. 1836 (REGISTER, vol. 73, p. 198), son of Joseph3 and Sobriety (Tobey) Huntress.

Children (surname Huntress), b. at Newington:

He was not taxed at Portsmouth after 1839.

2. Mary, d. unm. 10 Aug. 1869 (tombstone). Administration on her estate was granted, 12 Oct. 1869, to Sarah Kingsbury, "only sister and heir at law" (Rockingham Probate Files).

3. Sarah, b. about 1794; d., probably s.p., 9 Sept. 1887 (diary of Jackson M. Hoyt of Newington); m. (???) Kingsbury, said to have been of Wells, Me. She witnessed, in 1848, Mary Huntress's receipt for a pension as widow of George4 Huntress.

Other children, who must have d. before 12 Oct. 1869, if Sarah Kingsbury was then "only sister and heir at law," for the application for a pension to George4 Huntress states that he had "a large family."

9. v. WILLIAM (probably(*), b. about 1762 (pension record).

6. GEORGE4 PEVERLY (John,3 John,2 Thomas1), of Portsmouth, yeoman, born at Portsmouth, and baptized 28 Feb. 1724/5 (South Church records), died in Sept. 1774 (New Hampshire Gazette of 9 Sept. 1774). He married ANN (???), who was living in 1759 (N. H. Deeds, vol. 6, p. 547) and was probably the Widow Ann Peverly who died in the fall of 1810 (New Hampshire Gazette of 6 Nov. 1810). She was probably the "widow Peverly," 't. 87, whose funeral occurred 24 Oct. 1810 (North Church records).

In 1748 George Peverly petitioned for a grant of public lands (N. H. State Papers, vol. 28, p. 492). In 1757 he had from his father a mill right on the stream running from Peverly's Brook into Sagamore Creek, "where a sawmill formerly stood" (Rockingham Deeds, vol. 103, p. 198), and 96 acres at Barrington, his father's original right (N. H. Deeds, vol. c, p. 547).

Children, born at Portsmouth:

i. MARY,5 bapt. 28 Aug. 1748 (N. H. Genealogical Record, vol. 5, p.87).(+)

ii. SUSANNA, bapt. 3 June 1753 (South Church records); d. 9 Nov. 1821 (tombstone); m. at Greenland, 21 Jan. 1772 (town records), JEREMIAH4 DENNETT of Portsmouth, husbandman, b. at Portsmouth 25 Dec. 1752, d. 18 July 1818, only son?? of Ephraim3 and Lydia (Waterhouse) Dennett (Stackpole's History of Kittery, p. 348). In his will, dated 7 Apr. 1812 and proved 17 Aug. 1818, he mentions his wife Susanna and children as given below (Rockingham Probate Files).

(*)He was brother to Mary (5, iv) (pension record).

(+)A Mary Peverly married about 1768 Timothy Ham of Portsmouth, and died 9 Oct. 1838, 't. 93 (tombstone). He died 5 June 1824, 't. 79 (tombstone).

(+)A note by Winfield S. Dennett, late of Saco, Me., in possession, 1925, of Alexander Dennett, Esq., of Kittery, Me., who has a considerable collection of Dennett material, states that she married (2) 22 Jan. 1796 Seth Shackford. On its face this is improbable, and Samuel B. Shackford, Esq., of Dover, N. H., who has been for many years engaged in compiling an account of the Shackford family, finds nothing to confirm it.

7. John Plummer, of Portsmouth, joiner, b. 22 May 1785 and bapt. 5 June 1785 (ib., vol. 7, p. 16); d. 19 Sept. 1867; m. 11 Mar. 1815 Dorothy Gile, widow, b. about 1791, d. 7 June 1819, 't. 28 (tombstone). His "only heir" was Martha A. Demeritt, wife (?) of Samuel Demeritt of Portsmouth, who, on the petition of Martha A. Demeritt, was appointed administrator of John Plummer Dennett's estate (Rockingham Probate Files).

(*)The Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution issued but subsequently cancelled a certificate that children of William Dennett (No. 6, ii, 10) are entitled to join the association. No proof of his marriage is known to the compiler.

iii. SARAH, b. 21 July 1754 (town records); m. at Greenland, 13 Nov. 1775 (town records), JOSEPH5 HODGDON of Newington, farmer, b. at Newington 21 June 1755, son of John4 and Mary (Decker) Hodgdon (REGISTER, vol. 22, p. 25, Hodson-Hodgdon Family, p. 38).

Children (surname Hodgdon), b. at Newington (town records):

1. Robert Peverly, b. 2 May 1779 and bapt. 26 Nov. 1780.

2. John, b. 20 Feb. 1782.

(+)The South Church records contain the baptism, 7 May 1758, of Elizabeth Peverly, daughter of George. Either this is an error, of which there are other instances in Rev. Samuel Haven's entries, or the child's name was subsequently changed to Temperance, for the Walker family Bible expressly states that Temperance was daughter of George and Ann Peverly. Martha W. Gale certified in May 1842 that her mother Temperance Walker, late of Exeter, widow, died 30 Mar. 1841, that she was a Revolutionary pensioner, and that her only surviving children were William Walker, Temperance Walker and Martha W. Gale (Rockingham Probate records).

Children (surname Walker), b. at Portsmouth (family Bible in possession, 1925, of Alan H. Strong, Esq., of Philadelphia, Pa., grandson of Betsey Briard (Walker) Hartwell):

2. Seth, of Portsmouth, master mariner, b. 14 Sept. 1778; d. 18 Jan. 1824 (lost at sea); m. (???). He was living on High Street in 1821, and in 1827 Widow Eleanor Walker was living there (Portsmouth directories). He is said to have had a son Seth.

(*)It will be noted that the first child was born when the father was nearly 50 years of age, an unusual thing when marriages as a rule were early.

No such Nathaniel, however, has been found in any record, and the family Bible, which records in succession the births of Nathaniel3 Peverly and
his wife Elizabeth and their children and the children of Nathaniel4 Peverly, clearly establishes the correctness of the text.

13. JOSEPH5 PEVERLY (Thomas,4 Nathaniel,3 John,2 Thomas1), of Portsmouth, merchant, and of Northumberland, 1772, farmer, justice of the peace (N. H. State Papers, vol. 7, p. 15, vol. 8, pp. 19, 64, 826), first town clerk, 1780-1800 (Merrill's History of Coos County, p. 549), county treasurer, 1804 (Somers's History of Lancaster, p. 215), born at Portsmouth, and baptized 17 Jan. 1747/8, died 13 Jan. 1820 (tombstone). He married first (???); and secondly, at Lancaster, 11 Mar. 1805
(town records), HANNAH FARNHAM, widow. In 1800 he had in his family one male under 10 years of age, one male between 10 and 16, one male between 16 and 26, one male (himself) over 45, one female under 10, one female between 10 and 16, three females between 16 and 26, and one female (probably his wife) over 45 (United States Census). His original grant of lands, Lot 44 in the Second Division and Lot 115 in the Third, was taxed as the property of a nonresident of Northumberland as early as 1828 (town records). His home farm, an irregular triangle of about 100 acres, the longest side being bounded by the river, lay about half a mile below the present bridge to Guildhall, Vt., and was probably the best farm in Northumberland. It was owned, in 1925, by Lester Fogg. John Eames, living at Northumberland in 1925 in his 100th year, stated to the compiler that in his boyhood there was on this farm a family burying ground with tombstones. They have all now disappeared.

Children by first wife, the first one born at Portsmouth, the others at Northumberland:(*)

(*)All the Coos County probate records and about two-thirds of the books of deeds were destroyed by fire in 1886, and thus the usual sources of family information for families of that county do not exist.

i. HANNAH,6 bapt. 30 Sept. 1770 (North Church records); doubtless d. in infancy.

22. ii. JOSEPH, b. about 1779.

iii. KATHARINE B., b. 20 Dec. 1780 (tombstone); d. 13 Nov. 1860; m. about 1801 JOSEPH LEAVITT of Percy (now Stark), farmer, b. in Massachusetts (United States Census of 1850) 4 July 1780 (tombstone), d. 13 Mar. 1851, son of Peter (?) Leavitt.(*) Joseph Leavitt was a famous hunter and trapper (Merrill's History of Coos County, p. 579). His farm on Lunn Hill was owned, in 1925, by Henry M. Lee of New Durham.

(*)The first Leavitt at Percy, now called Stark, was Peter, who, as it appears from the proprietors' records, agreed in 1790 to settle there with his three sons, then under age. He was the only Leavitt there when the Census of 1790 was taken, and had then in his family one son over 16, three sons under 16, and one female. Peter Leavitt, Peter Leavitt, Jr., and James Leavitt were taxed therein 1791. They and Joseph Leavitt and Thomas Leavitt were taxed there in 1803. It is probable that Peter, Jr., James, Joseph, and Thomas were sons of Peter, Sr., for it is not likely that in a small community of about 30 taxpayers there were two distinct Leavitt families. The town records of Stark contain no death of any of these Leavitts except Joseph, and his death record does not give the name of his father or the place of his birth. The family Bible of Clifford Cole, Jr., a son of Almira (Leavitt) Cole, records the death, on 9 Nov. 1851, of Peter Leavitt, 't. 84, and of his wife Mehitable, 26 Aug. 1845, 't. 79. They were, therefore, born about 1767, and are probably Peter Leavitt, Jr., and his wife. A man born in 1767 was not under age in 1790. It seems probable that Peter Leavitt, Jr., and James Leavitt, both taxed in 1791, were sons of Peter Leavitt, Sr., and of age in 1790, for whom their father could not contract, but who accompanied him to Percy at the time of his settlement there or followed shortly afterwards. Thus Joseph Leavitt, born about 1780, and Thomas Leavitt were two of the three sons under age referred to in Peter Leavitt's agreement to settle at Percy (Stark). The proprietors of Percy conveyed, on 1 Apr. 1800, to Peter Leavitt Lot No. 10 (Coos Deeds, vol. G, 4, p. 101). Peter Leavitt, Sr., conveyed this lot to Peter Leavitt, Jr., on 3 July 1800 (ib.). In 1850 Peter Leavitt, Jr., 't. 82, and therefore born about 1768, was living at Milan in the family of Jonathan Nichols, whose wife Fanny, then 't. 40 and therefore born about 1810, was a daughter of Peter Leavitt, Jr. (United States Census).

The death record of Robert Ham Peverly states that his parents were unknown. His mother is said to have been an English nurse.

(*)Perhaps a son of the Richard Peverly (son of Richard and Ellen Peverly) who married Jane Lindsay. See the family immediately preceding.

ABIGAIL PEVERLY married in Boston, Mass., 30 Aug. 1801, William Glover (Boston records).

BETSEY PEVERLY married, after 21 Apr. 1804, as his second wife, William Walker (Parson's History of Rye, p. 563). Their son, William Peverly Walker, was baptized at Portsmouth 2 Aug. 1807 (North Church records). See also Eliza K. Peverly, infra.

CHARLES PEVERLY was taxed at Portsmouth in 1814.

DOLLY PEVERLY, born at Portsmouth, died at Somerville, Mass., 8 Nov. 1870, single, aged 79 years, 9 months (Somerville records).

ELIZA K. PEVERLY married at Portsmouth, 5 Sept. 1819, William Walker. Both were of Portsmouth. (Portsmouth records.) Eliza K. Walker, born at Newington, died at Portsmouth 11 Jan. 1861, ‘t. 72 (ib.).

There were three William Walkers in Portsmouth about that time. One William Walker, truckman, lived in 1851 at 2 Whidden Place, Portsmouth (directory). William Walker of Portsmouth and Elizabeth K., his wife, conveyed, 29 Nov. 1858, real estate on Whidden Place to Joseph C. Walker of Portsmouth, in consideration of a bond for support. William Walker, born at Newington, died 21 May 1862, ‘t. 84 (Portsmouth records).

Inscriptions on gravestones in a lot in the Proprietors' Cemetery, Portsmouth, furnish the following information:

Elizabeth L. Walker, wife of Joseph C., born Apr. 6, 1827, died June 23, 1911.

"Our brother Augustus" fell in battle near Richmond, Va., June 3, 1864, ‘t. 36.

"Our brother Dwight," born Aug. 21, 1818, died Jan. 1, 1855.

Mary E. Walker died July 22, 1861, ‘t. 43.

There are also stones marked "Joseph," "Father," "Mother." Apparently these stones mark the graves of William Walker, born about 1778, his wife, Eliza K. (Peverly), born about 1789, and their children.

ELIZABETH PEVERLY and (???) PEVERLY were baptized in the North Church, Portsmouth, 11 Nov. 1716 (N. H. Genealogical Record, vol. 4, p. 100). This baptismal record probably refers to Elizabeth (Cotton) Peverly, wife of Nathaniel3 Peverly (supra, No. 4), and her first child.

ELIZABETH PEVERLY married at Greenland, 19 Jan. 1774, Samuel Walker of Newington (town records). They had children, viz., Elizabeth, born about 1774, who married William Lang of Rye, Lucy, born about 1778, who married Richard Lang of Rye, and (probably) William, who married Eliza K. Peverly (vide supra).

In the lot in the Proprietors' Cemetery, Portsmouth, mentioned above (vide Eliza K. Peverly), are the gravestones of Samuel Walker, who died Nov. 15, 1829, ‘t. 87, and Elizabeth, his wife, who died Dec. 7, 1835, ‘t. 83.

MRS. FRANCES PEVERLY married at Portsmouth, 24 Sept. 1832, Robert McDonald (North Church records and Portsmouth records).

FREDERICK PEVERLY, son of Moses(*) Peverly, was baptized at Portsmouth 19 May 1751 (N. H. Genealogical Record, vol. 5, p. 89). He was in Captain Daniels's company at Fort Sullivan in 1776 (N. H. State Papers, vol. 14, p. 259, vol. 17, p. 37). He also appears in the Massachusetts rolls as from Portsmouth (Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors, vol. 12, p. 276). He was taxed in Portsmouth in 1773-1777.

(*)Charles H. Batchelder, Esq., of Portsmouth, suggests that Rev. Samuel Haven wrote here, by mistake, "Moses" for "George," the preceding entry being a record of Moses Caverly. No other reference to a Moses Peverly has been found. The children of George Peverly (supra, No. 6) were coming along at this time, and there is a convenient gap between his first child, Mary, and his second (recorded) child, Susanna.

HANNAH PEVERLY married at Portsmouth, 21 Aug. 1773 (North Hampton church records), Richard Mills of Portsmouth, chair maker, who died between 1790 and 1802. He was perhaps a son of Luke Mills of Portsmouth, master mariner. Hannah Peverly was his second wife, his first wife, whom he married at Portsmouth 3 Mar. 1752 (records of St. John's Church), having been Elizabeth Salter. In 1802 Ann Mills was his widow. Perhaps Ann and Hannah were identical. The real estate of Richard Mills was conveyed, 1802-1805, by six children and a grandchild. No deed has been found for a one-fourteenth part which evidently belonged to another grandchild.

HENRY PEVERLY was taxed at Portsmouth in 1800-1802.

HENRY PEVERLY, "of this town [Portsmouth] oe. 40," was drowned at sea in 1819 (New Hampshire Gazette of 4 May 1819).

HIRAM PEVERLY, ‘t. 36, artisan, born in New Hampshire, was at Lancaster, N. H., in 1850 (United States Census).

JOANNA PEVERLY married, about 1775 (Ham's Marriages, MS.), Samuel Heard Horne, who married secondly, 31 Jan. 1781, Hannah Vicker (ib.). He was born at Somersworth 22 Dec. 1756 (REGISTER, vol. 74, p. 44) and was baptized at Rochester 29 May 1757 (N. H. Genealogical Record, vol. 6, p. 114), son of William and Phebe (Heard) Horne. He was a soldier in the Revolution (N. H. State Papers, vol. 15, p. 294, vol. 16, p. 627).

JOHN PEVERLY, of Portsmouth, was a soldier in the Revolution in 1775 (N. H. State Papers, vol. 14, pp. 258, 259, vol. 15, pp. 595, 728) and a corporal in 1777 (ib., vol. 16, pp. 12, 192, 209).

JOHN PEVERLY, of Old York, Me., was a soldier in the Revolution in 1777 (Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors, vol. 12, p. 276).

JOHN PEVERLY married at Portsmouth, 24 Jan. 1777, Alice Holden. Both were of Portsmouth. (Portsmouth records.)

JOHN PEVERLY married at Portsmouth, 15 Nov. 1787, Sarah Dame (North Church records). She was perhaps the Sally Peverly who died in Dec. 1835, aged 78. (Vide infra.)

JOHN PEVERLY died at Portsmouth in 1817 (New Hampshire Gazette of 4 Mar. 1817).

JOHN PEVERLY, ‘t. 48, and ANN PEVERLY, ‘t. 43, both born in New Hampshire, were at Sanbornton in 1850 (United States Census).

MRS. KATY PEVERLY married at Portsmouth, 26 May 1791, James Hull. Both were of Portsmouth. (Portsmouth records.) James Hull, of the United States Army, died 27 June 1815, leaving a widow, Catherine, a daughter over 21 years of age, and three minor children, ‘t. 12, 9, and 5 years (Rockingham Probate Files). An affidavit of heirship made in Nov. 1817 by Nathaniel Kennard (vide infra) states that these children were Nancy, of age and unmarried, Harriet, born about 1804, Sarah, born about 1807, and Martha, born in Mar. 1811. "Mrs. Hull" was paid by the administrators of Nathaniel Kennard's estate, three days after his death, for some service. All this suggests a relationship between Catherine Hull and the Margaret Peverly who married Nathaniel Kennard (vide infra).

MARGARET PEVERLY (according to the North Church records MARY PEVERLY), of Portsmouth, married there, 10 Oct. 1783, Nathaniel4 Kennard of Kittery, Me. (Portsmouth records), son of Edward3 and Elizabeth (Marsh) Kennard (Stackpole's History of Kittery, p. 566). She died 24 June 1825, ‘t. 68 (tombstone in the North Cemetery at Portsmouth). He was a soldier in the Revolution, and resided in Portsmouth (Farmer and Moore's Historical Collections, vol. 2, appendix, p. 72). Their children were: Nathaniel, of Portsmouth, master mariner, whose widow, Ruth, appears in the Portsmouth directories of 1834 and 1839, Eliza, who was living unmarried 22 Dec. 1823, and Ann, who married at Portsmouth, 19 Aug. 1821 (Portsmouth records), Eleazer Hooper of Marblehead, Mass., druggist.

MARGARET "PEPPERLY" married in Boston, Mass., 15 Sept. 1845, James Frost (Boston records).

MARGARET PEVERLY, ‘t. 15, was living at Portsmouth, in Edward Moulton's family, in 1850 (United States Census).

MARY PEVERLY was born about 1745 and died 9 Oct. 1838, ‘t. 93 (tombstone in North Cemetery, Portsmouth). She married, about 1768, Timothy Ham of Portsmouth, born at Portsmouth about 1745, died 5 June 1824, ‘t. 79 (tombstone in North Cemetery), son of William and Elizabeth (Waterhouse) Ham. The baptisms of their children, recorded in the North Church, were as follows: Elizabeth, 28 May 1769, Mary, 21 July 1771, Anne, 15 Aug. 1773, Sarah, 30 July 1775, Timothy, 7 Sept. 1777, Phoebe, 16 Jan. 1780, William, 25 Aug. 1782, Jane, 1 May 1785, Supply, 16 Mar. 1788, and Henry, 26 June 1791. Several of the grandchildren of Timothy Ham state that his wife was Mary Peverly.

PETER PEVERLY, of Dover, was dead, insolvent, in Sept. 1894, when administration was granted on his estate (Strafford Probate Files).

ROBERT PEVERLY was taxed at Portsmouth in 1777-1779.

SALLY PEVERLY died at Portsmouth in Dec. 1835, ‘t. 78 (Portsmouth Directory, 1839). (Vide supra, John Peverly, fourth of the name on this list.)

SAMUEL PEVERLY was taxed at Portsmouth in 1778-79.

SAUL PEVERLY, ‘t. 18, born in Maine, was at Concord in 1850 (United States Census).

WILLIAM PEVERLY is said (N. H. State Papers, vol. 9, p. 41) to have been an original proprietor of Barrington. The Portsmouth town vote of 26 Mar. 1722 provided for the division of "New Portsmø" according to the town rate of 1721. The list of proprietors includes William Pevey, but no William Peverly. William Pevey, but not William Peverly, was taxed at Portsmouth in 1727 (Brewster's Rambles about Portsmouth, vol. 1, p. 161). Charles H. Batchelder, Esq., states that there is abundant further evidence that the original proprietor of Barrington was William Pevey, not William Peverly.

One PEVERLY, of Loudon, is said (Lyford's History of Canterbury, vol. 2, p. 97) to have married Betty Davis, born at Ellsworth, Me., in 1845, daughter of Daniel L. and Ada (Moore) Davis.

One PEVERLY, of Loudon, is said (Stackpole's History of Durham, vol. 2, p. 101) to have married Elizabeth6 Davis, born at Durham in 1775, daughter of Thomas5 and Elizabeth (Roberts) Davis.

One Betsey Davis, ‘t. 63, was living at Canterbury in 1850, in the family of James Peverly (supra, No. 7, v), ‘t. 76 (United States Census).

John Sanborn7 Peverly (supra, No. 21, viii), born in 1856, a grandnephew of James Peverly (No. 7, v), states that James Peverly never married, that the Betsey Davis named in the Census was his housekeeper, and that she is identical with the Elizabeth Davis mentioned in Stackpole's "History of Durham," loc. cit., and is incorrectly described in Lyford's "History of Canterbury," loc. cit.
