Joseph died By Aug 1720, Baltimore Co, MD,6 Buried: MD,7 Location: 21 Jul 1685, MD.8 Quoting from Baltimore County Families, 1659- 1759, by Robert W. Barnes: "PEREGOY, Joseph b. ca 1663-5, came to MD ca 1685 as Joseph PEREGOIS, a French man. He m. Sarah MUMFORD b. a 1672; he d. by 10-May-1720." At various times the name has been spelled Pericoy; Perrugoy; Peregua; Perrago; Perequa; Pelego; Pericoy; Perrgo; Peregoy. === POSSIBILITIES & PROBABILITIES === The European origin of our emigrant ancestor, as well as the family itself, has not been and may never be ascertained. Until his ancestral origin becomes more definite, however, we must continue to explore all possibilities which seem reasonable. No consistency in the spelling of the surname has been found, on either side of the Atlantic. even in MD the variations recorded closely approach the possible. It is said that., in the early colonial period, there were as many ways to spell any name as there were clerks. Without any assumption among a number of European families having similar surnames, we should explore possible connections with any one of them. In France, Belgium, Italy or Spain. Rietstap, in his "Amorial General", finds a family named "Perregaux" in Nuefchatel (N. France), one with Spelling "Perignon" in Lorraine, which acquired an acute accent on the "e"in Languedoc, as "Perignon" in N. Italy. he found it "Perego" in Milan and "Perega" in Padua. In south central France it may be a place name, relating to the city of Perigueaux, former capital of the old Province of Perigord. The Count's of Perigord & Tallyrand- Perigord's are another story. More is detailed on this topic in John Paul Grady's, 1962 outline, from which the above paragraph is taken. This manuscript has never been published. I have observed in my gathering of information several later researchers have also arrived at the same conclusions as Mr. Grady and the people that collaborated with him. There is also a lot of myth and family traditions being passed around. Without any intention of offending anyone, for any purposes, this is as far back as one can go with our Peregoy ancestor at this point in time. Information at a later date may break this barrier, but right now there is nothing conclusive. . === DISCUSSION === (Several of the related families' lines back into the early Perigord lines, But there is no connection at this time with our Peregoy's and these people. Evelyn Pedigo Crouse od Marion, Va. in her book "Years of Work" (1996) gives a very good outine of this tale in her preface. Evelyn states she has only included this data "for those that feel they should be treated like royalty", which sums it up very nicely. === OCTOBER 1995 NOTE === William Bruce Pedigo (1939-1995). With the sudden loss of Bruce Pedigo, a dedicated researcher of the Pedigo descendants, all I have to comment is he will missed but not forgotten. A major part of this work is a direct result of his efforts. Through the kindness of his mother Mary Lois Kenedy Pedigo, his papers and correspondence from the last 20 years have been combined into this data base. . Sarah: We know Sarah's father was an Edward Mumford. If this is the correct Edward is not proven. I have not found any link to Mary Watkins. Need more imput here. === NOTE === The exact marriage date of Joseph and Sarah is not known, nor are the exact years of their childrens births. Different researchers come up with other years for same, but they are all in the same general time frame. This is the start of the Peregoy/Pedigo family as we know it today in America. We need a good preamble here. Lacking one at the moment. I will quote John Paul Grady, 29 Oct. 1962. "The manuscript Peregoy - Perrigo - Pedigo is NOT intended to be a genealogy, but only a condensed outline, which we are continually amending as we uncover additional data and new evidence" We here now in 1992 in an attempt to find a few specific individuals, have come to the conclusion we would never find them unless we tried to trace everyone that was possibly related to them. Everything that follows here is a result of that attempt. Any comments or suggestions are always welcome. Thomas F. O'Connell, born, Joel Thomas Pedigo.

Joseph died 15 Jun 1745, Baltimore Co, MD.22 == NOTE == With the desc. of Joseph start the conflict that has resulted from spelling of the surname. There is no rhyme or reason to the patterns of the spelling. The major mixup is with the New England Perrigo-Perigo families that migrated South and West. Many researchers continue the use of the Peregoy version and they are not incorrect as the pronunciation is the same. But being the spelling has been used in official documents as well as by the individuals I believe it is more fitting to continue the spelling variations .

Wit: John Bowen Sr. (Baltimore Co, MD Liber I.S. No, 1. 1730-1734) MUMFORD - PEREGOY NOTES Compiled by, Harry Herbert Lee, 5750 Cumberland St. San Diego 14, Calif. (1965) JOSEPH PEREGOY Probably son of Henry and Amy (Green) Peregoy This Joseph, d. intestate, before 27 march 1792, when Administrator was granted to his eldest son, Joseph Jr. (2 Admins. 221) He left 10 children by children by first wife ________ _______, and a daughter Amy, by a second wife, Susanna (Green) PEREGOY, whom he had married 13 October 1786. She survived him and received her third of the estate (Dower), plus one portion as Guardian of daughter, Amy. (Appointed 8 April 1794, recorded in proceedings, 86). Now this Joseph may have married (1) Elizabeth _______, who was named in the acknowledgment to a Grantor Deed, as wife of Joseph, when she surrendered her "Dower Rights' in a tract of land called "Talbott's Purchase", part of "Long Crandon", on 25 August 1759 (Liber B, No. G, folio 517, Baltimore Co. Land records), This tract lying on South side of Gunpowder Falls, was the same land formerly conveyed to Thomas Franklin to the said Joseph Peregoy. But that Franklin--Peregoy conveyance was made in 1732. (Liber IS, No. L, folio 239 Baltimore Deeds) We still need more evidence here, to discover "who was whose". But for now, we will deal with the Joseph who'd died intestate in 1792. By that time several of his children were married, in 1790 Census his household included 3 males over 16 (self included), 5 males under 16 and 2 females (wife included). Joseph and Henry Peregoy Jr., were listed together in Baltimore Co. debt books, 1754-1771. Henry lived 10 years after the death of Joseph in 1792. Henry signed documents only with his mark "H", differing here from his brother. Joseph may have been an older son of Henry Sr. and may not have been impeded in his education by a cruel step-mother. He could sign his own name. In any event, Joseph's 3 older sons: Joseph Jr., William and Elisha, took the oath of Allegiance to Maryland in 1778, from Middle River Upper Hundred . (Minute Book of Court August 1778, p 320). On 15 October 1787, just a year after his second marriage to "Susanna Green" Joseph signed Three Grantor Deeds, 2 of them to his son, Elisha, XXXXXXX conveying title to tracts "Cold Friday" (44 Acres) and a leasehold on "Eleanor's Lookout" (48 acres). The third went to son, William, covering a tract called "Union" (160 acres). All of these deeds were witnessed by Leonard and Mayberry Helm Jr. and acknowledged the same date, before Justices for Baltimore Co., John Moale and George Gould Presbury, without any interrogation of his newly acquired wife, as to her Dower Rights, if she had any, in these conveyances to his own children. CHILDREN: (who received L23:11:07&1/2 each, in distribution of father's estate). I. Joseph Jr., Administrator of father's estate in 1792-94 Probably m 27 April 1785 to Mary Gorsuch, possibly daughter or sister of Robert Gorsuch, She may have died soon. 1790 Census shows Joseph's household as all Males; he and another over 16, with 5 males under 16. This Joseph was mentioned in an 1812 letter as living in Baltimore. II. William who may have died interstate in 1820. if so, his estate was administered by sons, Joseph and Nathan W. named Executors. Household of William ib 1790 census tallied self with 2 males under 16, 6 females (including wife0 and 1 slave. III. Elisha, Prob. m. 14 June 1786 to Welthy Hall. 1790 Census shows self, with 4 females in household. IV. Elizabeth b. abt 1789 (81 in 1850 Census of Penn Twnshp.

With them lived one William Peregoy (59 in 1850) b. 1791 in Maryland) There was also a Stephan Jones (53 in 1850 with wife Mary, same age, both born in Maryland, with younger members of the Jones family in this Ohio Township. In 1790 Census of Baltimore Co. Maryland, household of Jacob Jones tallied self with 2 males under 16, 3 females (including wife) and 8 slaves. They moved to Jefferson Co., Ohio about 1809, with Several other members of this family group. V.
