Descendants

Biography

John was baptised in 1807 in Freiston, Lincolnshire, England.^[1] He was the son of Peter Behagg and Ann Goy.^[2]

In 1826 John married Mary Forster in Wistow, Huntingdonshire,^[3] where their children were born and where they lived. John was an agricultural labourer.^[4][5] In 1861, Mary's 88 year-old mother, Hannah Foster, lived with them.^[6]

The Behagg family emigrated to the United States of America. John died in 1868 and was buried in Evansville, Vanderburgh county, Indiana.^[7]

Research notes

Some Ancestry trees say John was the son of this Peter Behagg. Was this Peter the same man who married Ann Goy in Sibsey, Lincolnshire, in 1806?^[2] Ann would have to have died before 1815 when Peter married Mary Ann Griffiths. I couldn't find a burial for Ann in Freiston on FamilySearch or in Wistow on Findmypast (online records may not be complete though); if I could confirm she died I would be reasonably happy that it was the same Peter!

Peter and Ann's children (John's siblings) were baptised in Freiston:

• Peter, 1808^[8] (buried 1811)^[9]
• Charles, 1810^[10]
• Mary, 1814^[11]
