Ann Peffley 1843 Aged 10 Years. Reproduction of an antique sampler most likely from the late 19th century. There is little information available for Ann Peffley, born in 1833. Records kept before 1835 are often scarce or incomplete.
It is highly probable that Ann was part of the large extended Peffley family in the US living in the states of Pennsylvania /Indiana. They are descended from Nicholas and Barbara Peffley who were among of German families who moved to the area around 1719-1729 to escape religious persecution.
