Hallie June Peavey's Notes:

John Peavey's sister's daughter, Sarah W. Goodridge went to Boston, Massachusetts and we have this account from a family story:

"While away in Boston, Massachusetts young Sarah married John Currier Peavey. She brought him home to Maine and her mother informed her that she had married her 1st cousin. She claimed this John Currier was the son of her older brother John Peavey." They stayed married but moved to Nebraska having seven children - all okay. No known birth defects. All turned out prosperous and of good reputation. I contacted Karen a couple years ago and she did the whole round up on the family, obits and all. (Karen Butler in Hastings, Nebraska)
Based on the sister's testimony, we would put John Currier Peavey with father John Peavey as Grandson of Samuel Peavey and Alice Mills.
