Notes on ABRAHAM PEAVEY:

Information for birth and death dates for Abraham Peavey and Olive Downs taken from "York County, Maine Cemetery Inscriptions".

There was an Abraham Peavey who was a teacher in Wolfeborough, New Hampshire in 1791. Abraham, (1779?) would have only been 12 years old in 1791 according to his gravestone which states that he was 65 when he died in 1844. However it is possible that his age was incorrect. According to the 1810 census he was between the ages of 26-44 and in the 1820 census he is over 45.

Some lineages show Abraham as the son of Daniel Peavey but there has been no proof found to confirm this.
