1 female over 45 ( a mother or mother in law? perhaps Rachel (Straw) Peaslee) In the 1810 census there are no females over 45. According to notes of John Lyle Bascom-Gordon, Compiler of this line:"(David) was called of Perrystown, NH. (See 'History of Sutton, NH')
"David Peaslee, the father, died probably about 1800.
One of his sons gave his age, at the time of his death, as
87. His widow died at a very great age." [This would mean Rachel died after David and after 1800...perhaps 1800-1810?]
