All of you reading this list who have connections and corrections to this posting please notify me. Many descendants of Levi Peacock live in south Arkansas. I am helping the historian of the Peacock Family Association of the South in his efforts to compile an updated version of his 1982 editon of "The Children of Levi Peacock". The following is for the family of a sister of my husband's great grandmother, Harriet Elizabeth Peacock. Jared Peacock is my husband's direct lineage back from Harriet. Here are the children of Jared Peacock and his wife Martha (maiden name unknown): Elbert S. Peacock m. Demarious Tennessee Townsen Harriet Elizabeth Peacock m. Jacob C. Davidson, James Haisty and Jennings D. Crowell Mary Ann Peacock m. William Winfield Holmes Thomas Peacock Jared Peacock Henry Hardy Peacock Nancy Rebecca Peacock m. Jesse M. Nicholson Ellen Peacock *********************************************** The daughter of Jared and Martha posted at this time is: Nancy Rebecca who married Jesse M. Nicholson. NANCY REBECCA PEACOCK (ca. 1854-78) was about 13 years old when her father died, and went to live at Florence with her uncle Pearson Peacock. On Jan. 14, 1874, she married Jesse M. Nicholson (No. 1836-Apr. 13, 1903), who was then living in Arkansas County - the marriage license had been issued in Napoleon, although the ceremony was performed in Drew County by Rev. John Dickson. Nicholson served with the 16th Arkansas and later with Wright's Cavalry in the Civil War. He enlisted in the cavalry unit Jan. 11, 1864, in Arkansas County, and was captured four days later in Jefferson County without having been paid. He had only two children by Nancy Peacock: William Mayberry (July 25, 1875-Dec.11, 1959, m. Cornelia Coopwood) and Maggie (ca. 1878-1911, m. Samuel B. Graves). It is not certain where they lived, but it may have been Clear Creek Township, at the northwestern edge of Drew County. After his second marriage to Zilla Ann Kate Neilson (Aug. 8, 1866-1946) on Nov. 10, 1882, he moved to Wilmar, Saline Township. Jesse and Zilla had seven more children: ADA (Dec. 1884, m William Upshaw), SALLIE (Aug. 1886, m John Logan DeArmond), JESSE (Mar. 1889-1993), METTE (Aug. 1890), EUNICE (Apr. 1893), EDWARD (Jan. 1895) and ETHEL (Jan. 1897). Jesse applied for a Confederate pension June 19, 1901, on grounds of being "incapacitated for manual labor by reason of age and disease". His widow Zilla put in her own application May 27, 1905. To keep her pension, she filled out an official questionnaire Feb. 12, 1932, by which time she was living at Warren, Bradley County, with her daughter Mrs. Allie Sawyer. William M. Nicholson and Cornelia Coopwood (Oct. 20, 1883-Oct. 7, 1980, daughter of Benjamin J. Coopwood and Lola Sibley) lived at Wilmar, where they rented farm, until World War I; then moved to Bradley County, a little north of Warren. (Both are buried at Union Cemetery in Rye, Cleveland County). Their children were (ELVIN JAMES m. Ethel White ; children [Mary Essie, m. James E.

Graves (born ca. 1881, son of William F. and Fannie Graves) lived in West Pennington Township, Bradley County, where he was a fireman at a sawmill. His wife Maggie (Nicholson) operated a boarding house, and her half-sister Sallie DeArmond was a cook there. Their children were Samuel B. Jr. (ca. 1907); William A. (1909). After Maggie died, Samuel moved to Desha county, where he was living in 1920 with his second wife Julia (born ca. 1888). ************************************************** The family of Nancy Rebecca Peacock Nicholson was unknown to the children of her sister Harriet Elziabeth Peacock Haisty until I received the first "rough draft" of the chapter on Jesse Peacock for the upcoming book. Any help in correcting or filling in names will be most helpful and will be passed on to the author. I hope that I have extracted the names properly. This a "rough draft" and I pass on errors, etc. that I find in what he sends me. Many of the names in the book seemed to migrate to the Possum Valley area. Hayes, Bush, White, etc. I have lots of information on the Peacocks who came to Drew Co. on the wagon train with John Harden Breedlove. The Breedloves, Harpers, Hoovers, Crains, Tilghmons, Poseys, Mullis, Hollanger, and on and on are listed in this book. I hope you find a relative. Carolyn
