BAPTISM: Joseph & daughter Esther were baptized in 1728

He signed a petition for the Charter of the Town of Bow in Rockingham County, New Hampshire on 20 May 1727

He sold 25 acres of land in Berwick to Hatevil Colson, December 21, 1750. Hatevil Colson was married to Elizabeth Downs, a sister of Mary Downs (Wife of John Grindle).

From the "Provincial Papers of NH" (Bouton): Joseph Peavey was granted 10 bills of credit of the province of New Hamsphire for the same amount as was burned in his chest with the other money at his lodgings in Berwick. These bills of credit were like bonds and therefore could be replaced without affecting the actual cash behind them. May 20, 1727, Joseph Peavey was one of the grantees named in the charter of the town of Bow by Gov. John Wentworth. This amounted to a fairly large tract of land and Joseph's name was mentioned many times in the transfer of property in Bow within the description of the property, his name being used as the person who originally owned a certain piece of land.
