Posted on: Des Moines Co. Ia Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ia/DesMoines/84 Surname: Peck, Ryerson ------------------------- My name is Martin George Ryerson. I am the great-grandson of Elizabeth Jane Peck and Martin Ryerson. Elizabeth Peck was born in Burlington, IA on June 16, 1851. She graduated from Burlington High School on June 17, 1870. She married Martin Ryerson on June 17, 1885 (we believe in Burlington). She had her first child, Edna A. Ryerson, in Burlington. Our estimate is that Edna was born less than a year after her mother was married. The next we know, she moved to Warwick NY in 1899. Her father was C. Peck. He was born about 1811 in Massachusetts. He married Emily (maiden name unknown) about 1834, probably in Kentucky. He moved with his family to Iowa in 1850. Emily was born about 1815 in Kentucky. Besides Elizabeth, their children were: James A. Peck, born about 1835 in Kentucky. C. Peck (male) born about 1855 in Iowa. Also in this household in 1856 were: Frank Peck, born about 1837 in Iowa Ann Thompson, born about 1847 in Sweden Mary Ann T. Lana, born about 1804 in Maryland I would be most grateful for any information regarding Martin or Elizabeth or any of their relatives. I am particularly interested in finding the parents of Martin.
