(I) Joseph Peaslee, the emigrant ancestor, came to this country about 1635. Prior to the emigration he married, in Wales, Mary John- son, daughter of a well-to-do farmer who lived near the river Severn, in the western part of England, near the Wales line. The first men- tion of Joseph Peaslee in Massachusetts is in the records of Newbury, in 1641. He took the freeman's oath, June 22, 1642. He was granted land in Haverhill, March 14, 1645, and subsequent allotments up to 1656. He was a farmer, eminently respectable, of strong char- acter, a self-educated physician, and often mentioned in old records as a "preacher and gifted brother." His descendant, the poet Whittier, speaks of him as the "brave con- fessor." He was a commissioner of claims and selectman of Haverhill, 1649-50-53. He removed from Haverhill to Salisbury, Massa- chusetts. to the part called Newtown, now Amesbury. He was made a "townsman" there July 17, 1656, and granted land; later grants were made in 1657 and 1658. The inhabitants of "Newtown" neglected to attend church wor- ship in the "Old Town" and failed to con- tribute to the support of the minister. They held meetings for worship in private houses, and having no minister, Joseph Peaslee and Thomas Macy officiated as such; this soon coming to the notice of the general court, who decreed that all the inhabitants of "New Town" should attend church in "Old Town" and also contribute to the support of the minister. All who did not obey were to be fined five shill- ings unless they had a reasonable excuse. Under the leadership of Peaslee and Macy the people did not heed the "decree" of the gen- eral court, nor did the leaders cease preaching

although a special fine of five shillings was to be imposed on them for each offense. In 1658 the general court ordered Joseph Peaslee and Thomas Macy to appear before the next term of said court to answer for their disobedience. This mandate was also unheeded, and Joseph Peaslee continued to preach, with the result that he was fined five shillings per week. While there is no evidence to show that Joseph Peas- lee joined the Society of Friends, his friend, Thomas Macy, was prosecuted and fined for allowing four of that sect to take shelter in his house one rainy day for three-quarters of an hour. There was no society of "Friends" organized in New England prior to his death, the early comers being cruelly persecuted and sent back to England. Joseph was opposed to the Puritan church in his religious convictions, hence his disregard of the orders from the court to conform to the state church. He died December 5, 1660, leaving his wife, Mary, executrix of his estate that was appraised at three hundred and sixty-four pounds. In 1662 she was granted one hundred and eight acres of land in Salisbury. She died in Haverhill in 1694.
Children: 1. Jane, married, December 10, 1646, John Davis, and settled at Oyster river, New Hampshire (now Durham). 2. Mary, married a lawyer, Joseph Whittier, and lived at Newbury. 3. Elizabeth, no record of her ever having married. 4. Sarah, married Thomas Barnard (2), April 12, 1664; lived at Ames- bury. 5. Joseph, of further mention.
(II) Dr. Joseph (2) Peaslee, only son and youngest child of Joseph (1) and Mary (John- son) Peaslee, was born at Haverhill, Massa- chusetts, September 9, 1646, died there March 21, 1734. Prior to his father's death in 1660 he was granted "Children's Land" and October 10, 1660, a "township," the latter a term used to indicate prospective rights. About 1673 he built his house in East Haverhill near "Rocks Bridge," spanning the Merriniac, using bricks brought from England. It was of two stories with a wing and was widely known as the "old garrison" or the "Peaslee Garrison House." The building is yet in a good state of repair, one of the landmarks of the Merrimac valley and of great interest to antiquarians. The house famed in prose and poetry was originally built by Dr. Peaslee as a refuge for women and children from the Indians, and was used as a garrison house in the French and Indian and King Philip's wars. The first Quaker meetings in
263
that part of the country were held at this house, Dr. Peaslee becoming a convert and joining the meeting. This was in 1699 after the town had refused them the use of the meeting house. In 1687 he was chosen con- stable, having taken the oath of fidelity and allegiance in 1677. In 1692 he was granted the privilege of erecting a sawmill. The mill was built the next year and for one hundred and fifty years thereafter was owned wholly or in part in the Peaslee name. He was a large landowner, by grants, inheritance and purchase. He was noted as a physician, was selectman of Haverhill, 1689-90 and 1696, and in 1721 was again chosen constable. There is no record of his burial place.
He married (first), January 21, 1671, Ruth, born October 16, 1651, died November 5, 1723, daughter of Thomas and Eleanor M. Barnard.

first "Friends meeting" in Newton was held in John Peaslee's home, later a meeting house was built, and a burying ground located near by. He and his numerous family were all members of the Newton meeting. He was a prominent man in town and church affairs and highly respected. He married (first), March 1, 1705, Mary Martin, at the house of Thomas Barnard, "where a meeting was held for the occasion." Mary was a daughter of John, son of George and Susanna (North) Martin. Sus- anna North Martin, after the death of her hus- band, George Martin, was arrested for witch- craft, April 30, 1692, tried at Salem, June 29, and executed July 19, 1692. The story of the grief and suffering of her daughter is told by Whittier in his poem "The Witch's Daugh- ter." A full account of the trial is found in "Merrill's History of Amesbury." John Peas- lee married (second), August 18, 1745, Mary Newbegin, a widow, of Hampton, New Hamp- shire, and a minister of the society of Friends. Children of first wife: I.

Various records give names and dates of the birth of ninety- eight grandchildren, while the sons of John Peaslee had two hundred and eighty-four grandchildren. The daughters had twenty-nine children, but there is no record kept of their grandchildren.
(IV) Ebenezer, youngest child of John and Mary (Martin) Peaslee, was born about 1717. He settled first in Newton, New Hampshire, later removing to New York state, settling near Quaker Hill, Dutchess county, about four miles east of Pawling station on the Harlem railroad. Here, in the large Quaker burying ground, he is buried with his wife. His re- moval from the Hampton, New Hampshire, (Newton) meeting is shown by his removal
certificate, dated January 16, 1749, to the Ob- long meeting at Quaker Hill, New York. He was a large landowner and a man of strict principles. He was an intensely religious and devout member of the Society of Friends, suc- cessful as a farmer, and was a level-headed business man. He reared a large family, many of whom took leading part in the stirring scenes that marked their time. His three sons, Isaac, John and Jephthah, were soldiers of the revolution, all members of William Pearce's company of Colonel John Field's Third Regi- ment, Dutchess county militia. With the chil- dren of Ebenezer the family departed largely from the Quaker faith. He married, June 23, 1744, Lydia Weed, born about 1716, daughter of George and Margaret Weed, of Amesbury, Massachusetts. George was a son of Lieu- tenant John Weed, one of the prominent wealthy men of Amesbury ; married Deborah, daughter of Samuel Winsley. He died March 15. 1688.

(V) Rev. Isaac Peaslee, fourth child of Ebenezer and Lydia (Weed) Peaslee, was born February 18, 1751, at Quaker Hill, Dutchess county, New York, died in Albany county, New York, in 1814. He lived most of his life in the towns of Berne and Rensselaerville, Albany county, and is buried not far from his farm in the latter town, in an ancient but well kept cemetery, a plain slate slab marking his resting place. A descendant is authority for the statement that he once owned a fine farm in "Patchin Hollow," Schoharie county, New York, but no record of this is found. Rev. Isaac Peaslee was a unique and versatile char- acter. Though he was a large landowner and interested in agriculture, yet his life was spent largely in preaching and teaching. He was

noted for his hospitality and the great affection with which he treated his family. In public life he was a distinguished figure. In early life he left the faith of his fathers and joined the fervent and rapidly increasing Methodists. He became a minister of that church, of the early heroic type, and is said to have been a preacher of remarkable power, a man of great intellectual vigor ; a broad scholar and a firm friend of the cause of education.

They reared a large family and prospered. He cleared and tilled his farm while his wife spun and wove the clothes worn by the family.
