In addition to this favour from the Family of _Cavendish_, Sir Edward Dering obtained for Mr. Pegge, almost at the same moment, a _scarf_ from the _Marquis of Hartington_ (afterwards the fourth Duke of Devonshire), then called up to the House of Peers, in June 1751, by the title of Baron _Cavendish_ of _Hardwick_. Mr. Pegge's appointment is dated Nov. 18, 1751; and thus, after all his solicitude, he found himself possessed of two livings and a dignity, honourably and indulgently conferred, as well as most desirably connected, in the same year and in the same month; though this latter circumstance may be attributed to the voluntary lapse of Whittington[19]. After Mr. Pegge had held the Rectory of _Brinhill_ for a few years, an opportunity offered, by another obliging acquiescence of the Duke _of Devonshire_, to exchange it for the living of _Heath_ (alias _Lown_), in his _Grace's_ Patronage, which lies within seven miles of Whittington: a very commodious measure, as it brought Mr. Pegge's parochial preferments within a smaller distance of each other. He was accordingly inducted into the Vicarage of _Heath_, Oct. 22, 1758, which he held till his death. [19] Soon after the fourth Duke of Devonshire came of age, 1769, finding that he had many friends of his own to oblige, it was suggested to the Senior Chaplains that a resignation would be deemed a compliment by his Grace. Mr. Pegge, therefore (among some others), relinquished his Chaplainship, though he continued to wear the _scarf_. This was the last favour of the kind which Mr. Pegge _individually_ received from the DUKES OF DEVONSHIRE; but the Compiler of this little Memoir regarding his late Father, flatters himself that it can give no offence to that Noble Family if he takes the opportunity of testifying a sense of his own _personal_ obligations to William the fourth DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE, when his Grace was _Lord Chamberlain_ of his MAJESTY'S _Household_. As to Mr. Pegge's other preferments, they shall only be briefly mentioned in chronological order; but with due regard to his obligations. In the year 1765 he was presented to the Perpetual Curacy of _Wingerworth_, about six miles from. Whittington, by the Honourable and Reverend James _Yorke_, then _Dean of Lincoln_, afterwards _Bishop of Ely_, to whom he was but little known but by name and character. This appendage was rendered the more acceptable to Mr. Pegge, because the seat of his very respectable Friend Sir Henry Hunloke, Bart. is in the parish, from whom, and all the Family, Mr. Pegge ever received great civilities. We have already observed, that Mr. Pegge became known, insensibly as it were, to the Honourable and Right Reverend Frederick (_Cornwallis_), Bishop of Lichfield, during the contest respecting the living of _Brampton_; from whom he afterwards received more than one favour, and by whom another greater instance of regard was intended, as will be mentioned hereafter.
