His age is given as 21, and his name is spelled as then pronounced: Peboddy (the accent being on the first syllable as if Peb-itie).

Mr. Peabody was one of the original settlers of Hampton, old Norfolk county, whither he came in the summer of 1638 (probably from Lynn Mass.) with the Rev.

He was made freeman in 1640, and in 1649 he was choseb by the town of Hampton one of the three men the "ende small causes," and was confirmed in that office by the Justices of the court.
