Classification: Query
Surnames: Guilford, Peabody
Searching for further information on Joseph Guilford, son of Aaron Guilford and Abigail Peabody, born 3 Sep 1816 in Salem, MA. He married Matilda Alley either 23 Feb 1833 in Salem, MA or 1 Jun 1834 in Saugus, MA.
According to the Peabody Genealogy (Peabody, Selim Hobart, Boston, 1909), Joseph Guilford changed his name to Torrey Peabody, without reason noted. He is found on various census records, in military pension files, and on his death certificate as Torrey Peabody. All of his children are surnamed Peabody. He died 26 Mar 1887 in Lynn, MA.
If someone has information about his ancestry and/or why he changed his name, I'd love to correspond.
