Peleg White Peckham (1789-1859) was the son of Jonathan Peckham and Hannah White. He married Elizabeth Cummings in 1811. They had a daughter who died September 26, 1813, at age 5 months. In 1814 they had a son who died within days on May 9. Their mother Elizabeth died a few days after him on May 14, 1814 at age 26. Peleg married Alice Tucker in 1816, but they had no children. He therefore had no direct descendants. But he did so much for the Head of Westport that he should not be forgotten.
