Leslie M Peabody also, therefore, is descended from another early
settler family: the Peabody ancestor Francis 'Pebbody' who sailed to
America in 1635 on board the sailing ship Planter. Another famous
relation is the merchant banker and great philanthropist George
Peabody (1795–1869). George's mother, Judith Dodge, was descended from
the Spofford family, a dissenting family from Yorkshire, who had
likewise emigrated to Massachusetts in the mid-seventeenth century.
