Warren,
I am also descended through Henry Peregoy, b March 26, 1781, Baltimore, MD, married Elizabeth Plummer March 6, 1841, had 12 children, as follows:
George P b. December 19, 1807
John b,March 19, 1809
Sarah b.July 10, 1810
David b.June 1, 1812
Temparance b. August 23, 1813
Rebecca b.January 25, 1816
Henry b.November 15, 1818
Benjamin, b.July 29, 1820
James R. b. October 29, 1822
Elizabeth b.April 7, 1825
Moses b. August 5, 1827
Elizabeth b.August 5, 1827
(I am descended through James R.)
Henry's parents were Moses, b. abt 1751 and Elizabeth, b. abt 1755, both of Baltimore. The children I have identified are Henry and a sister, born abt 1789.
The IGI lists Moses Peregoy, born abt 1766-68 in Baltimore, son of Henry Peregoy (b. Oct 29, 1722) and Alice. I believe this is "our" Moses (b. abt 1751). But I don't have any better proof. If he is the same, that links your line from Henry born 1781 back to Joseph, b. 1665 in France.
My sources include family history, the IGI and the Ancestral file.
