The name of Pegg or Pegge is now mostly represented in the neighbourhood of Derby, and but scantily in Ashbourn, which was the home of the name in the early part of the 17th century, when the Pegges were a prosperous gentle family of that place. In 1669, Christopher Pegge, Esq., of the Middle Temple, left by will his house in Ashbourn, together with lands in Ashover and Wingerworth, for the erection of almshouses in Ashbourn; and in 1666 Edward Pegg, of this place, left a bequest for the poor (G.). To this Ashbourn family belonged Edward Pegge, who in the reign of Charles II. came into possession of the Beauchief estate, near Norton, by marrying the heiress of the Strelley family, and there his descendants lived during last century (G.). The Pegges of Beauchiffe served as high sheriffs of the county in 1667 and 1739 (P.). The Rev. Samuel Pegge, of Whittington, was a Derbyshire antiquarian a century ago (P.). Pegg and Peggi were Oxfordshire names in the 13th century (H. R.). Pegg is also a Norfolk name.
