If she was born April 3, 1726, we have Christopher & Rebecca Peak as her parents:

Christopher Peak apparently lived in the part of the Town of Woodstock that in 1734 became the Town of Union. This emerges from the will made 9 [?] September 1755 by Christopher Peack of the Town of Union, which names his wife Rebecca and, among many others, a daughter Dorothy (unfortunately without indicating a married name).
