I'm pretty sure James Bailey Pegg was son of John and Sarah, because they are all buried in one little group in Pickens Cemetery in northern Anderson county SC. (If you care, see my website on the cemetery:
www.pickenscemetery.orgWork your way thru summary list and maps to see the grouping. My experience has been families are buried together. James B's tombstone says he was born in Hardin County KY. There is a picture of it on the website under the individual graves portions, which are in alphabetical order. There is all kind of info on his wives. Did he marry Elizabeth Barton Brezeale or Elizabeth Brezeale Barton, and I think if so he married her second because my gg grandmother Welborn's sister Elizabeth also married James B Pegg, but her tombstone says she died in 1854, and there is an infant grave: Bailey McSwain Pegg, son of JB and E Pegg with the dates of Nov 26, 1862 and Sep 18 1863. Of course, Eliz. Welborn Pegg's date of death might be engraved wrong: could it be 1864 instead of 1854? But then James B's death date from the stone is Sep 26 1885, and his birth Mar 10, 1812.
I had read somewhere that John's father was Samuel, so that checks. Do you know anything more about Sarah Douthit? Did she have a sister Mary C? There is a "Mrs Mary C. Dothard buried right beside Sarah (b. 1803 d. Jun 2 1857) that I think they got the spelling wrong as there were never any Dothards around here that I can find.
I was born and raised on the old Pickens homeplace with the cemetery and have had an interest in everyone in it since I was a child. One of John and Sarah's dau's (Nancy T) was my ggg grandfather's second wife with many children (I come thru the first wife). And the Pegg girls evidently were well thought of, as they seemed to find husbands without any problems. Martha F. married Jacob Pickle. And there's another one that I can't think of at the moment.
Thanks much for all the help. You know more about the Peggs than everyone else put together that I've ever talked to. I do ask your permission to list you on the website as one of those who have helped so much (see the "About" page) and I'll make changes to the Pegg's paragraphs after things quiet down after the holidays.
