    3. I am helping a cousin track her family. Her mother, Bessie Merle Peck, was born in 1900 in Eagleville to William Peck and Satyra Richardson Peck. William Peck is thought to be buried in Eagleville. Family legend is that William was born at sea close enough to the Maine coast that he was considered American-born; his parents migrated from England. Satyra Richardson Peck had a twin sister, Myra, and a brother, Elijah. After William Peck died, Satyra (she was also known as "Tyra" although the spelling may be different) later moved to Nevada and remarried. Elijah Richardson evidently had a ranch in the Eagleville area. The Richardson family also came from England, and the three children were 1st generation American-born. Bessie Merle Peck married George Veeson in 1915. Hopefully someone one in Modoc County area has some connections or knowledge of these two families. Thanks for any help you can give..
