Additional notes and information on the Lockhart side.
The following transcribed record more closely establishes a death date for Joseph Lockhart the elder.
Washington County, Indiana Probate Book 1 1821-1830, page 194
August 1828. State of Indiana _Washington County Set
Be it remembered that on the 21st day of August 1828 in vacation of the Washington County courts at the clerks office in Salem_on the application of Thomas Gabert for administration of the estate of Joseph Lockhart deceased who it appears died intestate and that fifteen days have since his decease and said applicant with Ivy Richardson his security having executed bond in the sum of two hundred and sixty dollars_and made oath according to law the same is accordingly granted_and letters thereof issued and delivered to him_
The dates would place Joseph’s death on (or very close to) Wednesday, August 6, 1828.
More Lockhart notes.
As previously stated, Thomas and Elizabeth Stockton Lockhart moved back to Henry County, Virginia some time around 1780/81. Thomas appears on the 1782 tax lists for Henry County.

An interesting note. Well, interesting to me at least. I have recently found a petition submitted to the Virginia House of Delegates in 1785 from Henry County. The petition has the signatures of Thomas Lockhart, my 4th great grandfather, one of his sons, Robert, and two of his wife’s brothers, Richard Stockton and Robert Stockton.
The above information is interesting in itself however the petition also contains the signatures of Joseph Peregoe and Joseph Peregro. More than likely, one of these men is a son of Edward Pedigo (Peregoy, Pediford), my 4th great grandfather, and the other a son of Robert Peregoy, Edward’s brother.
This again is interesting however the petition also contains the signatures of Thomas Edwards and William Edwards. Thomas is the brother of Mary Edwards who married Edward Cochram and William is either her brother or her father. You may remember that the daughter of William and Mary Edwards Cochram, Leah, married Henry Pedigo. If you would like a copy of the petition, I would be happy to email same.

This assignment of land seems to bear the signature of Henry Peregoy my 5th great grandfather.
Part 3, and final posting for this family in the Baltimore area. Hopefully I will find enough information on the Virginia and Kentucky line to post later in the year.
Notes and some records for the Mumford and Peregoy families from:
Colonial Families of Maryland, Bound and Determined to Succeed, Robert W. Barnes, 2007. Hereafter noted as Robert W. Barnes.
Maryland State Archives. Hereafter noted as MSA.
Henry Peregoy the senior, son of Joseph and Sarah Mumford Peregoy, was born in Baltimore County c. 1690/95. He married Amy Green, possible daughter of Robert Green, in 1716. The marriage banns for this couple were published in the register of St. Paul’s Parish February 16, 1716. Marriage banns were a requirement by which engaged couples had to announce their intention to marry in their “home“ parish. This announcement allowed anyone in the congregation to voice a legal or religious protest. The marriage banns normally took place on three consecutive weeks before the marriage. St. Paul's first parish church was built on Patapsco Neck in 1693 and the second parish church was built within Baltimore's city limits in 1739.
Property records Robert W. Barnes.
17 Oct 1716 Ebenezer Blackstone of KE Co and wife Sarah conv. 100 a. of Success, being part Burman's Forest to Henry Peregoy (BALR TR#A:414).
2 Sep 1729 Henry Peregoy and his wife Amey conv. 50 a., the residue of Success, now called Miller's Purchase, to John Miller, planter (BALR IS#K:174).
11 May 1761 Henry Peregoy conv. Henry's Lot to Richard Chenoweth, Henry's wife Amy consented (BALR B#1:134). This property did not belong to Henry Peregoy the senior, it belonged to Henry Peregoy the junior. Henry Peregoy the junior's wife's name was either Alice or Mary (probably). Amy Green Peregoy died 1744/45 and, unless she was an extremely strong spirit, did not sign a conveyance in 1761.

I should tell you (if you visit the above site) that it appears to be a site from 1997 and contains (In my opinion.) several mistakes.
Property records MSA.
I have listed the following transactions to show that in just 31 years the children
of Joseph Peregoy were able to purchase the property which Joseph, in part, was used as a headright to purchase originally. In case you don't remember, Henry was the son of Joseph and Sarah Mumford Peregoy and Edward and Joseph were his brothers, Robert Green was probably the brother or nephew of Amy Green Peregoy . Also, Edward Blackstone and Edward Blackiston are the same person, probably different clerks registered the deeds.

It appears that after 1729 all land transactions (with the exception of the survey of Burman’s Forest in 1734.) were near the Gunpowder River in St. John’s parish.
Amy Green Peregoy died in Baltimore County 1744/45, probably St. John‘s parish.
This digression will probably confuse everyone, but here I go anyway.
According to the land records above, Henry and Amy and family lived near Gunpowder River (or Falls, same place) which MAY have been located in St. John’s Parish. If this is the case, it might be worthwhile to see if any parish records are available that mention Peregoy births or deaths. I have found that there is a book listing on WorldCat for “Index to Register, St. John's Parish, Baltimore County, Maryland, 1696-1788.” The book seems to be available at only four libraries worldwide, The Library of Congress, Library of University of Pennsylvania, Library at University of Oxford (England) and Budapest University of Tech & Economics. Okay, I contacted the Library of Congress and the best that I could figure from their response was that I would have to fill out a form, attach a check (non refundable.) for $18.00 and mail the request to Washington and they would research (to see if they actually had the book) and mail an answer back to me. Then, if they have the book, I can fill out another form, mail them another check for $15.00 to obtain copies of what I want….Well, I moved on to the University of Pennsylvania to ask if they have the book. They were very helpful at the “Chat line” and tried several times to find the book….while it appeared in their catalog and it had a call number, the book could not be found. I saw very little reason to try Oxford or Budapest Tech.
Three days later I received another email from Library of Congress and yes, they have the book and the information that I want is contained in 14 pages, with page numbers, and an approximate cost and a telephone number to order the pages. So, being gullible, I thought great and called the number. Finally, after several attempts, I talked to, what I assume was, a real live bureaucrat whose response was that I would have to send another email and they would have to check to see if they had the book, and if they did, if I could get copies and what the cost would be…..When I told the bureaucrat what the second email from LOC said, she said, “WHO told you that?” and I gave her the address of the email she said, “I have no idea who that is.” So, I did send another email just to see what will happen next. Not sure that at this point that I would trust these people with my charge card info or a personal check. Seven days later, no reply from LOC. Fourteen days later, no reply from LOC. Sent another email requesting the information but it is time to move on with the story.
Henry married second Providence Corbin November 24, 1745 (or January 14, 1745, both dates seem to be in the parish register.) in St. John‘s Parish, Baltimore County.
Providence appears to have died prior to February 11, 1765 when Henry made his will and did not mention her. I do not know when The Trasey family and Henry Peregoy moved to Frederick County, Virginia. Henry died in Frederick County, Virginia between February 11, 1765 when he wrote his will and when the will was filed for probate on June 4, 1765.

Maryland State Archives has a searchable web site, Well, sort of……I think that this web site is probably, for me, the most confusing (or confused) site I have ever tried to obtain information from. It is only with the most determined point and click and click and click and click efforts that I was able to obtain any useable information. I suppose if you had the time and will to travel to Maryland and trod through, what I see in my minds eye, cobweb and dust clogged hallways to look for dust covered records, you might have some success. I do not have the will…..and at $35.00 a pop for each record that you may want a copy of, I don’t have the money.

Some additional notes for Edward Mumford and Joseph Peregoy. Sorry but I thought I had
found all of the information when I posted part 1 and 2 but it keeps popping up here and there.

Historical Society, 1939. Edition/Format: Journal, magazine : Periodical : English page 286
" Letter of attorney, May 3, 1686, Robert Burman, merchant, appointing Mr. Mathew Hudson
his attorney to govern the servants and overseers on two plantations at Patapsco River.

"Bond, June 2, 1686, Charles Gorsuch certifying to agreement that he will not trouble or molest

"Deed, June 1, 1686, Edward Mumford conveying to Charles Gorsuch the 15-acre tract "Hopewell,"
on the south side of Sparrow's Creek on north side Patapsco River, near Solomon Sparrow's land. ...."
By the above information we know that Mumford lived in the near vicinity of Burman's Forest in 1686.
We already know that in 1685 Joseph Peregoy was bound in service for five years to Robert Burman. That service,
unless Joseph was released from his contract by Burman, would have lasted until 1690. There is also a possibility
that when Burman sold Burmans Forest to Hudson in 1687 he also sold Joseph's contract of service to
Hudson.
I can't help myself, I have to make a comment on the bond posted by Charles Gorsuch June 2, 1686.
This must have been a rough area in 1686. "trouble or molest"? Charles Gorsuch was a "true and honest" Quaker
but he really must have taken his property buying business very seriously. I wonder if our Edward was quaking
(pun intended) in his boots when Charles came calling.
27 Dec 1688 Matthew Hudson made his will, leaving Burman’s Forest and [Hudson’s Forest] to his wife Jane for
her life, reserving 100 a. Jonas’ Range to Joseph Perego [sic] (BALR RM#HS:345). Robert W. Barnes.
Jonas Bowen seems to have owned Jonas Range at this time, perhaps Hudson had a rental contract with Bowen.

Part 2.
Some additional notes for Edward Mumford
Hopewell, 15 acres surveyed 10 March 10, 1681, for Edward Mumford was located on the north side of Patapsco River near Blockhouse Creek.
Long Island Point, the 100 acre property willed to Edward Mumford in 1674, is now part of what is called the Fells Point area of Baltimore.
Notes and some records for the Mumford and Peregoy families from:
Colonial Families of Maryland, Bound and Determined to Succeed, Robert W. Barnes, 2007. Hereafter noted as Robert W. Barnes.
Maryland State Archives. Hereafter noted as MSA.
Sarah Mumford, daughter of Edward and Ann Mumford was born about 1672 in Baltimore County, Maryland Colony. In a deposition Sarah (Mumford) Peregoy states her age as 42years and states that her father, Edward Mumford, told her 30 years ago about the boundaries of a tract of land. Chancery Court Record Liber P.L.Folio104:(Baltimore), dated January 3, 1714. This information gives us her approximate date of birth, her father’s name and since we know when her father arrived in Maryland, her birth place.
Sarah Mumford married Joseph Peregoy about 1688/90.
Sarah died after May 10, 1720 when she “posted an administration bond, with William Loyall and Henry Peregoy as sureties (BAAB 2:449).” Robert W. Barnes. Henry Peregoy was her son.
Pedigo, Peregoy, Peregoe, Perego, Pediford, Pettigo, Peregois, Perigory, Perrigoy, Perigoy, etc..
In London, on July 21, 1685, Joseph Peregoy signed a document which bound him to serve Robert Burman for five years and was transported to Maryland. The exact date of his departure, arrival date in North America, port and ship are unknown. Joseph’s birth date and exact place of birth are unknown, however because of the record below and a deposition given December 4, 1714, Chancery Court Record Liber P.L., folio 103, where he declares his age to be 49, I assume that he was born in France in 1663-1665.
Joseph Peregois is listed in:
Ghirelli, Michael, A List of Emigrants from England to America 1682-1692; Transcribed from the Original Records at the City of London Record Office, Baltimore: Magna Carta Book Co., 1968.
Page 64,
“PEREGOIS, Joseph, A Frenchman, being of full age. Bound to Robert
Burman for 5 years in Maryland. July 21, 1685. 14/333”
It should be noted that July 21, 1685 is the date that Edward signed the agreement, not the date he arrived in Maryland. Most web sites list this date as when he arrived in Maryland but he would have arrived there at a later date.
Robert Burman was a blacksmith/merchant who lived in London. In February of 1685 a 350 acre tract in Baltimore County, Maryland was surveyed for him and this tract was known as Burman’s Forest. It appears that there were several individuals bound to serve Burman during the summer of 1685 ( I have found eight, also listed in Ghirelli’s book.) and I assume that these individuals were then claimed as headrights and land would be granted to the individual such as Burman who paid the passage.
Robert Burman sold Burman’s Forest to Matthew Hudson in 1687. Ref. BALTIMORE COUNTY COURT (Land Records, Index) A-G, 1659-1800 [MSA CE 34-1] MSA
27 Dec 1688 Matthew Hudson made his will, leaving Burman’s Forest and [Hudson’s Forest] to his wife Jane for her life, reserving 100 a. Jonas’ Range to Joseph Perego [sic] (BALR RM#HS:345). Robert W. Barnes.
Matthew Hudson’s will recorded in 1691. Ref. BALTIMORE COUNTY COURT (Land Records, Index) H-O, 1659-1800 [MSA CE 34-2] MSA
