General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Pelton

---

Lowers, in his "Dictionary of English Surnames," derives Pelton as a surname from the parish of Feldon in Essex, England. Burke, in "General Armory," says: "The Peltons and Poltons had their seats in Essex and Northamptonshire." He gives their coats-of-arms which differ but little. The first Pelton who came to America was George Pelton, 1622, settled in Virginia. The second Pelton of record is John Pelton, emigrant ancestor of the Peltons of this record. Savage says: "John Pelton, of Boston, came early, had an estate, described in the Book of Possessions, removed to Dorchester. His eldest son John was baptized, March 2, 1645. In his will of January 3, 1681, proved March 10, following, he names widow Susanna, sons John; Samuel and Robert, the youngest, besides daughter, Mary. To Samuel was given administration of Robert, lost at sea July 1683." ¹
