Joseph Peabody aka Joseph Allen
I have a mystery in my family.My step ggg grandfather is said to have been named Joseph Peabody, endentured to a harsh master. He supposedly ran away and was raised by a man surnamed Allen.I believe the Allen mans name was Adoniram Allen, b 1734.I have wondered if Joseph's mother could have been a daughter of Adoniram Allen.Joseph used his benefactor's surname thereafter.Joseph was born c1778-1782 NC, and lived in Buncombe Co., NC 1820-30, Yancey Co., NC 1840-70.He married Anna/Annie Turner, dau. of Abraham Rogers Turner and Sarah Black.Does anyone have a Joseph Peabody in their family from this time period that they cannot identify?I would like to find his parents and siblings.Thanks for any help.
