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.).
