Peg Leg
Peg Leg was a drunken sailor who resided in the Davenport Homestead dock during the American Revolution. On his request, Connor collected trinkets in exchange for William Kidd's letters, which were in Peg Leg's possession.
Biography
Upon the restoration of Robert Faulkner's ship, the Aquila, Connor approached Peg Leg, enquiring about Captain Kidd's treasure, after having heard him creating a ruckus about it.
Peg Leg then told Connor that he was in possession of letters detailing the location of map pieces for the treasure, but would only give them to him in exchange for "trinkets": twenty-four small treasure boxes located around the Davenport Homestead, the Frontier, Boston and New York City. As agreed, when Connor collected them, Peg Leg traded the letters.
Personality and characteristics
As his name indicates, Peg Leg had a wooden prosthethis for a foot. At the time of meeting Connor, he was middle-aged but had grey stubble, a striped orange woolly hat, a dirty beige top with a jacket, black striped trousers and a satchel.
Due to his drunken demeanor, even Robert Faulkner tended to avoid Peg Leg, since his talkative mood was enough to "chew your ear off," though the sailor also described him as harmless: "he don't hurt no one, so I leave him be."
