I know, I don't think it looks Biblical either! It's awkward all around. I checked in 1880 there were less than 5 of them born in the US because it's not listed, and I'd imagine that's the way it's been ever since. The one in my husband's family tree was born in Rhode Island in 1716, and he named one of his sons Peleg, too, born in 1755. I have encountered other obscure Biblical names from families in that area in that time period too while doing geneology. Like Elnathan, Beriah, and Jotham.
