Bio
From the diary of Elizabeth Porter Phelps: "March 28, 1772- this Day our Peg who has Lived with us near 18 years of her own Choice Left us and two Children and was sold to One Capt. Fay of Bennington with a Negro man from this town all for the sake of being his wife." Elizabeth's husband Charles Phelps bought Peg back again in 1778 for 20 pounds (bill of sale, Porter-Phelps-Huntington Papers, Box 4, Folder 17); from Elizabeth's diary, June 9, 1782: "our Peg Left us most a fortnight ago, gone off free."
