General Notes: Husband -
We do not know just when Daniel Pegg came to America. The earliest date mentioned in W. J. Pegg's papers is that of a deed of land for 600 acres in 1665, made out to Daniel Pegg who settled on the banks of the Delaware River between the Colhoun and Cohocksinck creeks. This land along the Delaware river was under Swedish control from 1638 to 1655 when it passed to Dutch control. Then the English took control in 1664. Though control changed, the settlers remained, and so Jurian Hartzfielder, who obtained from the Court of upland in the time of the Swedes a grant of land on the banks of the Delaware, afterwards sold three hundred and fifty acres of this land to Daniel Pegg. Sir William Penn, who came to America in 1680, some time after Daniel, confirmed this sale on March 26th, 1684. This was recorded at Philadelphia in Patent Book A, Vol. 4, page 353. This area later became known as the Northern Liberties.
Daniel Pegg evidently was a God-fearing, industrious, thrifty man of considerable knowledge and business ability, judging by the state of prosperity his will indicates. He owned a large brick manor house, a plantation and Negro slaves as well as a brickyard, a tanyard and a malt house. Bricks for building houses were first used in England in the reign of James 1st (1603-1625). The knowledge of brick-making and of woollen mills was passed down from father to son until Isaac Pegg's time. Daniel 1st had four sons and three daughters but only one son left heirs to carry on the Pegg name. His name was Nathan. Daniel died the 12th month, 23rd day, 1702/03 and was buried in the Friend's burying ground with members of his family at 302 Arch Street in Philadelphia.
Found in the index of "Old Rights" Patent Index A - 5; microdex #3; pg. 236; Patentee: Daniel Pegg for 350 acres dated March 25, 1776. Warrentee:Jurian Hartsfielder; County: West Side Del. River. (LDS US/CAN 1028673 - Patent Index A& AA; Commonwealth of Penn. Dept of Internal Affairs; Bureau of Land Records; Micro. Job #5; 1966).
Found in the "The Papers of William Penn" (Vol. 3) under the "Blackwell Rent Rolls, 1688-1689", Daniel Pegg is listed as an "OR" (old renter) in 1681; surveyed for 150 acres, Phila. Co., paid 1 1/2 bushels wheat rent to William Penn.
Daniel's brick house was completed in 1685 on the banks of the Delaware River between the Cohoquioque (Pegg's Run, now Willow St.) and the Cohocksinck Creeks in what is now the Northern Liberties of Philadelphia, PA USA.

POLEN/PEGG TRANSCRIPTIONS
The following are transcribed from documents sent by Roger F. Huff, Clinton, Illinois to Ronald W. Whitney, Maple Plain, Minnesota toward the end of the year 1999. They are copies or originals of research he had done on the family in the 1960's. The originals were badly damaged by a couple of floods that had occurred since then. The copies were poor photocopies of othe badly damaged papers. Wherever in the transcription the damage is too great to be readable, brackets [ ] will be used to indicate missing words, or guesses. Normal brackets ( ) will represent brackets that were used in the original.
Transcribed by Ronald Whitney on May 31, 2000.
Document 1 - Badly water damaged original.
From conversations I had with parties previously mentioned it appears that William son of John was a drunk and had no issue.
Next I went to Pleasant Hill Cemetery near [K]ingston. In the older part of the cemetery I looked at every stone. In the newer part I very quickly spotted a stone marked REED. It was a large family stone. Close
[ ] was a very old small stone which said "Daniel son of [ ] and E. Reed died April 12, 1867. On the other side of the large stone there were four smaller stones all the same kind. [ D----] Reed, 1872-1938, Robert Nelson Reed, 1871-19[46], George [ ] Brooks, 1868-1960, Sarah Reed Brooks, 1861-1931. Mrs. [Deh--] said that their grandaughter had a stone. But she did not seem to be very positive to [ ]. The presence of the smaller stone and several unmarked graves [ ] to me that this was Nelson's resting place. I didn't try [and] confirm it - time to go home. While working out all of the details could [ ] and would be interesting to do, I simply do not have time. A couple of weeks in the courthouse, newspaper office and a couple of looks at the census records would settle most of that family pretty well it seems to me. Mrs. Dehus said that her grandmother died before she was born and she was born in 1869 if she were actually 97 this January. She says that she lived around Kingston when she was a child, so the 1870 census of Green Township should pick up the family. Could be that or [ ] didn't move until later and we might have to look at the 1880. She said that her father's house burned down when she was a girl so that if there was a bible it burned up then.

Back to the letter. I have copied all of the pertinent data from Mrs. Chapman's chart. The rest of it is the Huffman family which you already have.
Yesterday in the musem(sic) here in Columbus I checked the following:
Penn Census: 1790
Daniel Pegg Bucks County 1m + 16, 1m - 16, 2f
William Peg Northumberland County 3m + 16, 3m - 16, 4f
George Pege Northampton County (Allen Twp.) 1m + 16, 2m - 16, 2f
Benjamin Pegg Washington County 1m + 16, 2m - 16, 4f
Revolutionary War Veterans Index prepared by the National Genealogical Soc.
Benjamin Pegg Ind Wars 1792-95, File No. S40248
Daniel Pegg New Jersey (served in N. J.), File No. S23840
Elias Pegg Penn (served in Penn.) S40250
Note that Northumberland County was where Catherine and Joseph Polen were actually married. If I were looking for a uncle for Catherine I'd say that he'd make a good one. I forgot to look for the Flicks in the 1790 Census. Also forgot the Schecklers. Try to remember to do it the next time I'm there.
I guess this just about winds this epistle up. This weekend didn't have the bright appeal of Washington's Birthday so didn't get out around the state at all. But spring is on the way.

PEGG AND ALLIED FAMILY INFORMATION
Compiled by K.E. Ballard 1966
Daniel Pegg, a Friend, in 16[86] acquired the 250 acres of [Ju]rian Hartsfelder's patent of 1676. He therefore once possessed nearly all of the Northern Liberties (of Phila., Pa.) [south] of Cohoc[ ]sinc Creek, in their primitive state of woody waste. He appears to have sold about 150 acres of the northern part to Coates (his brother-in-law) [corrected to read son-in-law] and to have set upon the improvement of the rest as a farm - to have diked in his marsh so as to form low meadows and to have set up a brick kiln. His mansion, of large dimensions, - two stories, with a piazza and double hipped roof, was called in the early days 'the big brick house at the north end.' It was on Front Street, west side, a little below Green St. In 1709 William Penn proposed to rent it for his residence that he might here be in the quiet country. Back of Pegg's house, from Front to Second Street and from Green to Coates Street, he had nearly a square of ground enclosed as a field, with numerous large cherry trees along the fences. This was a green meadow when the British occupied Philadelphia. They cut down the cherry trees for fuel. Britished [sic] troops were camped in the field.
Following is an abstract of the will of DANIEL PEGG, JR. written January 9, 1732, a short time before he died. To his wife SARAH he gave his 'northermost messuage of tenement and the piece of ground thereunto belonging, bounding on the north by land in the tenure of William Coates, on the east by a great road leading to Burlington (ie, Front St.), southward by a line dividing that tract from his other land, and westward by the New York road (ie, old Fourth St.). To his nephew, DANIEL PEGG, a son of NATHAN, he gave all his southernmost messuage or tenament where he then dwelt, together with the piece of ground bounded northward by the lane aforesaid, eastward by the Burlington Road, southward, by the second row of apple trees in his orchard, carrying the same breadth westward to a fence at the west end of an adjoining pasture, and westward to a fence at the west end of an adjoining pasture, and westward by the said fence… To daughter SARAH PEGG, land; to nephew ELIAS PEGG, second son of NATHAN, land. Similar lots to nephews DANIEL and JOHN COATES (sons of THOMAS COATES).
(Note: Watson confused Daniel Pegg, Sr. with Daniel Pegg, Jr. in a statement in [which] he said that Daniel Sr. must have had three wives. Daniel Sr. died 1702/3 leaving as his widow, Barbara, his second wife. Daniel Jr. was married to Sarah.)
The following information is found in the A. R. Justice Collection. DANIEL PEGG (SR.) married (1) 2nd mo. 28th day, 1686 in Neshaminy (Bucks Co., Pa.) at the house of Samuel Allen, MARTHA ALLEN, daughter of Samuel Allen. He married (2) BARBARA JONES, intention filed 1st mo. 27th day, 1691, - Minutes of Phila., Pa. Monthly Meeting of Friends, page 131. [in pencil md. 3/5/1691]
Issue by his first wife, Elizabeth: [crossed out and added in pen, probably by Roger Huff, "Martha Eliz. Allen".]
1. ELIZABETH PEGG, daughter of DANIEL & MARTHA (ELIZABETH) ALLEN PEGG, married Thomas Coates of Philadelphia, brickmaker.
Issue by 2nd wife, Barbara Jones: [also added in pen (Rebecca)]
2. DANIEL PEGG, JR. born 1692, died 1733, married about 1726 (?) Sarah (?Hooper). married at least by 1720.
3. JANE PEGG, married (?Enoch) Flower. Mentioned in will of grandmother, Jane Jones.
4. NATHANIEL PEGG, born 4/25/1698 - Phila. Monthly Meeting Records, Births and deaths, page 230, married Mary _____. [UNK penned over underline]
I was surfing the net a few days ago and saw some of your work on the Peggs.
There was one thing that caught my eye and it was in reference to a Mr. Huff stating that Barbara Jones name for some reason was recorded as " Rebecca " on the ship list. Well I'll have to disagree with Mister Huff. Barbara Jones is listed with all the family that came over on the Submission. I have a copy of the "Sailing of the Ship Submission" In The Year 1682, A true copy of the Vessel's Log.

TheRebecca Winn is the daughter of Thomas Winn / Wynne.
Jane and Margery Mede/Maude are Thomas Wynne's step daughters.He and his wife,
the mother of Jane and Margery were on another ship that sailed at the same time.
Rebecca Wynne married 1st. Solomon Thomas and 2nd. John Dickinson. Margery Mede/Maude married Thomas Fisher. and Dorothy Jones m. Richard Cantrell. This is my line.

Dear Mrs. Huff:
In answer to your letter, I have searched through the index of deeds for Philadelphia County down to 1900 for a Polen [crossed out with pen] or Pegg deed to the City of Philadelphia, but found nothing under a Daniel Pegg nor a Joseph Polen. [Joseph Polen also crossed out]
It is possible that the deed was made by someone of another last name, yet an heir to the property - or holer of the deed at the time.
Last week I soughtthe[sic] opinion of a lawyer with considerable experience and because he is active in one of the patriotic societies, sympathetic to genealogy. He agreed with me that the best approach would be to have a search of the property made by one of the title searching companies here in Philadelphia. Their searchers are trained in the specific tracing of property through the changing deeds and the transfers of title of a specific piece of property. The lawyer states that the cost of such a search is about thirty-five dollars at the present time. Of course, it could be higher depending upon the complications involved.
As to going to court to claim ownership of the property, he stated that it would be of very doubtful outcome for the heirs of someone owning it originally, after a great many years of assumed legal ownership by those now in possession. I assume that what he means is that an old deed of sale would be upheld in favor of the purchasers.
What I believe that Canadian Pegg meant by his reference to the family not having been dealt fairly with, is that the one who sold the property to the City of Philadelphia, or to someone else who later resold it to the City, wasthat the other members of the family who were legally entitled to a share in it were not given (or may not have been given) compensation for their share.
I would be leary[sic] of engaging a lawyer who contacts you first and encourages you to go ahead with promises of success. In similar situation, I would want to select a reputable lawyer whose name has been given by the Chamber of Commerce or Bar Association here. Lawyer's fees can become quite costly, as you know, I am sure.
Enclosed is your material which you sent me and which I failed to return previously.
My charge for this further work is five dollars.
Sincerely yours,
[signed]

General Notes: Husband -
Job Lamley was a sheriff, politician, river pilot and businessman. He was born in Worchestershire, England in 1829, and came to America with his parents as a small boy. He was living in Richland County, Ohio with his parents when he was 10 years old. Job first met his future wife, Sarah, daughter of Daniel Pegg Wilson when she was only 6 years old in Springfield, Illinois. Job enlisted in the Army at age 18 years at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas in 1847 under General Price, in the Santa Fe Battalion for service in the Mexican War. He fought Comanches on the Arkansas River, 4 Jun 1848, during the march to Santa Fe. Starting in the Spring of 1849 he crossed the plains in government employ, carrying supplies for the Army, arriving in Oregon City in November 1849. He tried to leave the Oregon country for the gold fields of California by embarking on the brig Josephine at Astoria, Oregon, it then shipwrecked 14 Dec 1849 on the Columbia River bar. Lamley dragged himself ashore on Bakers Bay (near present Ilwaco, Washington) and joined with Dr. Elijah White in the building of Pacific City on Bakers's Bay near Ft. Canby. He made his living fishing but soon turned to politics. Job was one of the surveyors that located the Washington - Oregon state line. In the year 1851 he signed a petition with other residents asking that new election precincts be created in that area. The result was the creation of Pacific County by the Oregon Territorial Legislature in February 1851. Pacific was the third county created North of the Columbia River. Lamley was elected Pacific County Sheriff in Jun 1852 for which he served two years. In 1854 Job was appointed Pacific County Assessor by the Board of County Commissioners, serving two years.
His first home in Pacific County was on the mouth of Deep River where he was the first settler there. Job, on March 1853 took up a 301 acre Donation Land Claim on Tods Bay near what is now known as Knapton Cove. Job was a seafaring man and often served as a pilot on the Columbia River.
Job was an associate of an industrious man named Joel Brown, who with others such as Daniel Pegg Wilson, William C. Wilson, Samuel Woodward, Henry Whitcomb, Job, Mark and Seth Bullard and Captain Jackson had cut a wagon road on the portage, crossing from Willapa Bay, Washington to the Columbia River. Joel Brown died before he could finish his dream of developing the Shoalwater Bay area, so Job Lamley and his associates carried on where Joel Brown left off. Their intention was to induce a large immigration of pioneers from Portland to settle on Shoal-Water Bay, now called Willapa Bay. Job Lamley ran an advertisement in the Oregon Statesman newspaper in 1853 describing his route to Shoalwater Bay. Job solicited settlers to travel on the U. S. Mail Boat Union from Portland to Astoria, then to Chinook, then up the Chinook River to William McCarty's Landing, thence by their wagon road to William C. Wilson's Landing and Hotel, then via the Bear River to Shoal water Bay........ "Having the best of sea boats on this line are prepared to take passengers and freight safe and with despatch from Astoria via Chinook, Shoalwater Bay, and back the same route. Accommodations rough and charges high"..... Quite an interest was excited by him among immigrants of Oregon to make Shoalwater Bay their home.
In 1853 Job was brought before the Pacific County Grand Jury, to investigate a possible homicide in an incident when a drunken Indian threatened Job with a club for which he hit the Indian with a paddle and killed him. The first Grand Jury in Pacific County dismissed this case against Job Lamley finding that he had acted in self defense.
In 1857 Job married Sarah Frances Wilson, the daughter of Daniel Pegg Wilson. Job and Sarah together had nine children.
In 1868 Job ventured into a cement making factory with partners J. B. Knapp, J. H. Burl and George T. Hopkins. A large kiln and barrel factory was built near Job's land to handle the anticipated production of cement but unfortunately the raw material were too limited and the operation was closed down.
On 31 May 1869 Job and his wife sold the major portion of his Donation Land Claim to J. B. Knapp who built a large saw mill near there.
On 2 August 1869 Job Lamley took office as the Pacific County Commissioner from his district. He was instrumental in getting the first roads authorized for Knapton, Naselle, Deep River and Grays River.
Job and his family lived in Astoria for some time. He also lived in Bay Center, South Bend, Raymond, Washington. He divorced his wife Sarah, but re-married her and they both lived the rest of their lives in Tacoma, Washington with their sons. Job died at his residence 45TH East B ST Tacoma, Washington on 25 Jun 1911. Job and his wife Sarah were buried in the old Washington Cemetery which has also been known as Riverside Cemetery, Section 18, Town 14 North, Range 8 West, in the present township of Raymondin, Washington.
TRAP CREEK: A logging camp on Trap Creek in the 1910s and 20s. The logging camp was owned and operated by the Quinault Lumber Company of Raymond. The camp took its name from Trap Creek. Some residents say the name Trap Creek" was derived from the fact that both Indians and white settlers trapped animals in the vicinity. Others say that John Louderback and Job Lamley were blazing a trail from Naselle-Grays River to Willapa Valley when Lamley got his foot caught in the branches of a vine maple. Louderback, Lamley's brother-in-law, gave the name Trap Creek to the stream. (13,34)
