Summary:

John Paybody was born in England ca. 1590. He married Isabel (surname and parents not listed). John died in Bridgewater, Mass. in 1667. They were the parents of 4 children, of which, the second son, Francis is the progenitor of this Colorado Peabody line. Francis (born 1614 in England, died 19 Feb, 1699 in Topsfield, Mass.) married (2) Mary Foster in 1649. They were the parents of 14 children. The second child Isaac is the sixth great-grandfather of the author Cynthia Peabody Anderson. Cynthia's great-grandfather Edwin James Peabody, born 9 May 1848 in East Pitcairn, New York, married Almeda Smith, born 19 May 1854 in Lincoln, Ohio. They were pioneers to Breckenridge, Colorado, where Edwin died 7 Jan 1918 and Almeda died 17 Dec 1933. They were the parents of 5 children. This history is largely about the Peabody family in the Breckenridge area.
