- Sally, became a widow of Jonathon before 1787 and married a man by the name of Leggett who lived in Stillwater, Saratoga County, NY. She apparently left with Lydia, her mother-in-law and Isaac Annable when they left New Bedford, MA for NY.
Sally married a Leggett of Stillwater. We know she was a Friend when living in Dartmouth as was the Peckham family so it is probably she either married Thomas, a widower, or one of his sons, Isaac or Gabriel. Below is from the Leggett Family History:
Thomas Leggett purchased a farm at Stillwater, Saratoga County, N. Y., sometime before the Revolution, where most of his children were born. His dwelling and outbuildings, of logs, were within the Hessian redoubt at the battle of Saratoga. At the approach of Burgoyne, the family crossed the river to Easton, Washington County. Two of his sons, Isaac and Thomas, were taken prisoners by the British, and carried to the camp near Schuylerville; but later made their escape and returned home. (This note is taken from the records of a descendant, John' Leg- gett [Abraham,' Isaac*], and is probably the correct version of an incident very differently told by Bolton, and quoted from him in other articles.) The history of Saratoga County states that Isaac and Gabriel Leggett were early settlers at Stillwater, and it seems likely that Thomas* Leggett was only living there temporarily, those two sons remaining on his property, the other members of the family returning to New York. The family of Thomas' Leggett were Friends, the first members of the Leggett family to become members of that faith, and were the founders of the Friends' Society at Stillwater,
