FRANCIS PEABODY (abt 1614 - 1698) Hampton and Topsfield
Parents: It is typically supposed that John Paybody and Isabel Harper are the parents of Francis.
Francis Peabody was born about 1614. He died on 19 Feb 1697/8. [Ref] He married first Lydia Unknown. [Ref] He married second Mary, the daughter of Renold Foster. [Ref][Ref gives only his last name][Ref] The date of his second marriage is unknown, but Mary Foster was first married to Daniel Wood. His death is not known, but is supposed to be about 1648. Francis was still married to Lydia when he returned to Topsfield from Hampton. [Ref]
Francis is on a 2 Apr 1635 list of passengers to be transported to New England on the Planter; he is described as a 21-year-old husbandman. [Ref] He came with a certificate from St. Albans. [Ref]
Francis was an original settler of Hampton in 1638, going there with Rev. Stephen Bachilor and 12 others. [Ref] He is on a 18 May 1642 list of freemen. [Ref]
Francis was on the trial jury at the 26 (7) 1648 court at Hampton and at the 30 Sep 1656 court at Ipswich. [Ref] He was on the grand jurt at the 24 (2) 1649 court at Salisbury and the 2 (8) 1649 court at Hampton. [Ref] He was chosen to be on the committee to end small causes at the 2 (8) 1649 court at Hampton. [Ref]
Francis Peabody was in Hampton in 1649. [Ref] Francis, planter of Hampton, sold Robert Drake his dwelling house, barn and 10-acre lot in Hampton, located between the houses of Isaac Perkins and William Cole, as well as additional land, a share in the great Ox common and three shares in the rest of the commons for 17 pounds and 13 shillings on 25 (1) 1650. [Ref]
In 1657, Francis was residing in Topsfield. [Ref] He had large land holdings in Topsfield, Boxford and Rowley. [Ref] He was a member of the church in Topsfield on 11 Jun 1684. [Ref]
Children of Francis Peabody: It is not clear which children belong to which wife. Any children born before 1648 are probably Lydia's. As Lydia was baptised in Hampton in 1640 she must be Lydia's. Unfortunately, however Endicott's [Ref] birth dates may not be accurate.
