Phineas Pease settled in Stockbridge, MA after the Revolutionary War
in which he served as a musician. He built a house there about 1780
which is still standing and was lived in at least as late as the
1960s. He was a tanner and a shoemaker by trade. The following is
taken from the book Pease Genealogy. An apprentice to Mr. Phineas
Pease tells the following: Mr. Pease purchased a tract of land from
an Indian among the remaining natives of the place (Stockbridge,
Mass.) A part of the price was paid down, the remainder was put in a
note to be paid at stipulated times. The Indian one day came to Mr.
Pease saying he was going off to a distance hunting and expected to be
gone a long time and did not know what might happen. Desiring the
note to be in safe keeping, he wished he would "take him and keep him
until he returned." Mr. Pease told him that was not the way to do
business, possibly he might not be honest and would not give up the
note on his return, and so cheat hin out of his money. "No" said the
Indian. "Mr. Pease be a good man, he be honest, he no cheat poor
Indian." So it proved for Mr. Pease took the note and when after many
months the Indian returned, the note was restored and in due time
cancelled.

She married Minorias Day on 21 Aug 1804.

She married Asahel Byington on 10 Sep 1807.

Peter married Ruth H. Crocker of Amherst, Ohio on 12 Jul 1821 and
first settled at Brownhelm, Ohio. He was the first settler of
Oberlin, Ohio in April 1833. He gives the following account of his
experience in pioneer life: "In the fall of 1816, at the age of 21 1/2
years, I left Stockbridge, my native place, to seek my fortune in the
West, and settled in what is now called Brownhelm, then an entire
wilderness, and known as town No. 6, in the nineteenth range of the
Connecticut Western Reserve. Three young men of us built the first
house in town, and wintered there in the employ of Col. Henry Brown of
Stockbridge, Mass. From whence a colony was formed of about twenty
families, who settled the town, enjoying the pleasures and suffering
the privations of a pioneer life, common to all new settlements. I,
with my family of five children, left Brownhelm in April, 1833, for
the express purpose of commencing the Oberlin enterprise, and we were
the first family that penatrated this, then dense forest, and thus
took a second trial of pioneering, which was much shorter than the
first, and I have been an eye witness to what God hath wrought in and
for this place, and for this great valley of the Mississippi, and do
praise and magnify his name!"

Hiram Pease was the younger brother of Peter, Oberlin Ohio's first
settler, and was himself one of the earliest colonists, following the
trail from Stockbridge to Ohio in about 1828. He married Lydia Remile
on 3 May 1818. He was a farmer, wagon maker, and church deacon. He was
also a punster. His Epitaph reads: "Under this sod and under these
trees, Lies the body of Hiram A. Pease. He is not here, only his pod,
He shelled out his soul, And went back to God."

He was drowned in 1802 at about 3 years old.

She married Ira Patterson on 28 Aug 1837.
