I'm not trying to "start anything" (a bragging contest, or whatever)... I'm just passing on something my dad told me. He said that his grandfather, Richard M. Sellars, was the only person he knew of who could successfully grow apples "in South Georgia". R. M.'s farm was in Thomas County till it got re-divided into Grady County in 1906. One of R.M.'s father (Jacob Benjamin Sellers)' sisters, Elizabeth Sellers, married Alexander Peacock, Jr., in Pulaski County, Georgia, in 1833. I also have Alexander Peacock, Sr., down as having married an Elizabeth Sellers.... but I'm not sure if that is just confusion or what? I have very little... virtually no... information on the Peacock/Sellers connection. Is there any kind of "vast compendium" of Peacock family data someone could point me towards to get some idea...?

Thank You.

I found these clippings and thought Peacock researchers would like them. In the Shadow of the Pines- Vol. 9 by Wayne and Judy Dasher The Thomasville Times - Saturday, June 8, 1878 We are indebted to Mr. Delmar Peacock for specimens of the Astrachab apple. They are full ripe and very fine. More attention should be given to fruit culture in Thomas County. The Thomasville Times - Saturday, August 10, 1878 Mr. Delmar Peacock has favored us with some choice specimens of green apples. He and others are demonstrationg beyond doubt, that apples can be successfully and profitably grown in Thomas County. __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail Mobile Take Yahoo! Mail with you!

I have a John A Scott John D Scott, Sr John H Scott 2-J H Scott in my Emanuel Co. cemetery book. Do you want me to give you dates and locations? Just let me no. PAY IT FORWARD.....' Thanks Brenda

I am in the same boat. I have been looking for James W Peacock for 5 years now. Well, he has been a slick on. No one in the family that is alive nos where he is buried. Or where. No help at all. The only thing I have to go on is from my grandmothers obit. I no that he died before 1948 and was living in 1930. This is one that will just fall into my lap when I am not looking for it. Because lord only no's that I have looked all over the place. Anyway thanks for your time and effort.

Here is what I know about John Scott. Born 1805 Georgia. Married before 1828. 1st Wife's name was probably Anna or something close. They are found on 1830, 1840 Bibb County, Ga census. In 1850 he had 9 living children and remarried that year to Jane G Rembert widow of Caleb Rembert. She had five daughters. Her oldest daughter Elizabeth had married to John Scott's oldest Dr. Henry Augustus Scott in 1848 in Bibb Co. They had one son John Rembert Scott. Sometime after that they all moved to Albany, Ga where Dr Scott was in practice. Elizabeth died in 1852 and I believe the baby died some time before that. Jane's youngest daughter died three weeks before Elizabeth. John, Jane and probably most of the children - Dr.Scott stayed in Albany- moved to Thomasville where he started or purchased a livery stable. Thomas E Scott their only child was born about 1851. Dr. Scott remarried to Virginia Ann Lester of Russell County, Alabama. John's probate shows that he was in debt at his death around August 1854. His daughter Frances b. 1834 mariied Henry C McLendon, Marilla b. 1838 married Thomas Avera and moved to Quitman, Brooks co where he was in business with his brother. William b. 1840 was a law student in 1860 in Thomasville and living with sister Frances and family. Other children of John were; James b. 1832, John b. 1836, George b. 1844, Alexander F b 1846 and Cary ( probably Zachary Taylor ) b. 1848. Jane's daughters were Sarah b. 1838 married James L Walcott in Thomasville, Hester Ann b. 1840 married Thomas Jackson Dekle Thomasville, Louisa A b. 1842 married Matthew Dekle Thomasville. Thomas E Scott married Loudie Johnson. Loudie later married Charles Hurst. That's as brief as I can make it.

No I am not related. I just happened to have purchased a copy of the book and thought I would look it up for you. Now if only someone could tell me where my ancestor John Scott who died in Thomasville about August 1854 is buried I would be very grateful. I did have Peacock neighbors as a child in Orlando, Fl.
