PEGGE, OF YELDERSLEY. 



There is a good deal of confusion and uncertainty about the 

 Pegge and Kniveton pedigrees of the first half of the seventeenth 

 century ; but it seems probable that this Katherine Pegge was the 

 widow of Thomas Pegge, of Yeldersley, and one of the daughters 

 of Sir Gilbert Kniveton. The Pegge family, like many others, 

 were divided in their views at the time of the great rebellion ; the 

 Pegges of Beauchief were pronounced roundheads, Edward 

 Pegge being one of the most active of the Commonwealth 

 justices ; whilst tlieir cousins, the Pegges of Yeldersley, were 

 equally determined royalists.
