Norman Wobesky reports that "The only marriage listed for Peleg Sisson is: Peleg, of George and Elizabeth, and Ruth Shearman, of John and Grizzell, married by William Sanford, Justice, 7 Dec 1749 [Page 46; Portsmouth Book 2:9]." Thank you, Norm. David and Joan Sisson's "Descendants of Richard and Mary Sisson" (1999) agree with that marriage, and report that "the family moved to Westerly, RI, and then to Pittstown, New York. Peleg and Ruth had two children, probably born in Portsmouth, although son Robert was not recorded until they lived in Pittstown. A third son, Peleg, Jr., has also been reported. Peleg was admitted as a freeman by the RI General Assembly in May 1759. The RI census of 1774 shows in the household two males over 16, one male under 16, two females over 16 (one a daughter-in-law?) and one female under 16 (granddaughter?). [Their son] Richard applied for letters of administration of his father's estate December 13, 1802 in Dartmouth, Book 8, page 161. The value of the estate January 17, 1803 was $159.17, Book 8, page 137. See "They Were Here Too," Greenwich, Washinton County, NY 4:40 & 96; "Sisson Family," by John L. Martin, New Bedford, MA, compiled in the 1930's, indexed by David S. Martin, 1991, Vol II, p 1; "Some of the Descendants of Philip Sherman," by Roy V. Sherman, Akron, Ohio, 1968; "Portsmouth, Rhode Island Births Marriages and Deaths," by James N. Arnold, 1:82, 2:9; and Rhode Island censuses for 1774 and 1790.

Peleg married (MRIN:1213) Ruth SHERMAN-12054, daughter of John SHERMAN-12804 and Grizzelle FISH-12692 (MRIN:5167), on 7 Dec 1749. Ruth was born on 9 Jan 1727 in Portsmouth, Newport Co., Rhode Island. She died on 5 Sep 1822 in Pittstown, Rensselaer Co., New York.
