Hi Dirk:
Always glad to hear from fellow cousins.
You probably already have this information, but I'll post it anyway, for whatever it is worth to you.
JACOB PEALEE, son of John and Mary (Martin) Peaslee, and great-grandson of "Salem witch" Susanna Martin, born Haverhill MA, 11 May 1710; died Kingston NH, 29 July 1744. He married Amesbury MA, 25 10m [December] 1735, HULDAH BROWN, daughter of John and Abigail (Johnson) Brown, born Hampton NH, 3 November 1715; died probably Rockingham County NH, possibly before 19 April 1752 when an Abraham Dow of Hampton NH was granted guardianship of her son Elijah Peaslee.
ELIJAH PEASLEE, son of Jacob and Huldah (Brown) Peaslee, born Kingston NH, 15 July 1741; died probably Pittsfield NH, 29 July 1810. He married Kingston NH, probably March 1766 (int. filed Amesbury MA, 20 February 1766), ESTHER GOODALE/GOODELL, daughter of Bartholomew and Sarah (Osborn) Goddale, born probably Salem MA, 16 January 1747 [/8?]; died probably Pittsfield NH after 13 July 1810, when administration of the estate of Elijah Peaslee was granted to Esther Peaslee, John Peaslee, Amos Peaslee and John Jenkins. [Note---compare Elijah's death date to the grant of administration date].
The inventory of the estate of Elijah Peaslee, late of Pittsfield NH, taken 1 September 1810, was valued at $3280.73 (about $33,866 in 1999).
I have checked into the ancestry of the Jenkins, and there are no real notable ancestors. Typical people, living typical but valuable lives in Lee NH. I do have in my possession a daugerreotype of Hannah [Jenkins] Peaslee taken I estimate in the 1840s.
Regards,
Rick
PS---I have a new E-mail address.
