Thomas Pegan and his father (also Thomas) owned land in Natick and served as assemblymen.Cheryll Toney Holleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01670750533120443409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995761796053998975.post-33992085960153128732018-05-07T21:33:13.193-04:002018-05-07T21:33:13.193-04:00I just wanted to give you an update on Molly.

I would argue that we are also related through Molly Pegan (Peegan, Peagan, Peggin, Piggins, etc.). There are two possible connections to my ancestry that I believe you could do further research on. My ancestor, Benjamin Wiser Senior, b. 1743, was the son of Ruth Bowman. Ruth had a sister Martha Bowman who married Joseph Pegan, and when their father, Samuel Bowman (Nipmuc) died about 1747 in Worcester, according to his probate records, his daughter Martha and husband Joseph Pegan were living in Dudley, or Molly Pegan Pollock could be the granddaughter of John Pegan and Mary Rumneymarsh (married 1728). Mary was the daughter of Israel Rumneymarsh who was a son of James Quanahpohkit Rumneymarsh Wiser (he is Benjamin's great grandfather and my direct ancestor). It is also possible that both connections are possible (ie. Joseph Pegan could be a son of John Pegan and Mary Rumneymarsh). I haven't done much research on the Pegan line so not sure how all of them are related but this would definitely explain my DNA connection to the descendants of the Vickers as a 5th to 8th cousin.
