Also, any descendants that can add additional information. James E. Peacock, Sr. was born on January 15, 1815 in Lincolnshire. He is thought to be from the Spilsby District, the burrough of Thorpe St. Peter. His wife Alice Clifton was from Midville, East Fen, also in the Spilsby District of Lincolnshire. They were believed to have been married in Midville, and were married by the Episcopal Reverend, Reverend Dawson. Alice had been born on May 10, 1811 in Midville and died on July 10, 1890 in Phillips Township, White County, Illinois. I do not know the year of their emigration from England, but guess it to be in the early 1850's. They had a son that died during the crossing and was buried at sea. My great grandmother was their third daughter, and I have been told that she was born within a few years of their arrival in America. I believe that she was born around '55 or '56, since I think she was only 19 when she married John Wesley Spencer in January of 1876. Her name was Alice Peacock; she had been the third daughter to be named Alice, as the other two had died at birth or in their infancy. Alice had one brother that I am sure of and that was John 'Jack' Peacock. I do not know the name of the brother that died on the voyage, but have assumed that he was James Peacock, Jr. For whatever reason, I have always thought that there was another brother, but have no notes or proof. However, all the Hawthorne and Phillips Township Peacocks were related. I have been told that John Peacock married Mary Ann ! Graves in 1872, and that they were the parents of Alice Emma / Emaline / Emline Peacock and James K. Peacock. Alice 'Emma' Peacock married William J. Kern, and they were the parents of Arthur Kern (who married Flora Kuykendall) and a daughter, Ona Kern, that never married. Arthur Kern was the father of Clarence Emil Kern that married Elizabeth Pyle Martin. There is a marriage show for a John Peacock to Malinda Cleveland in 1883. Might she have been the mother to James K. or Alice Emline? Also, I have 2 James Peacock marriages in the 1890's. One is in 1892 to a Mrs. Ida May Aikens Brewer or Brewer Aikens; the other is to Flora Bennett in 1899. I believe that Joseph Peacock descends from one of these James Peacock marriages. Joseph married a Lula Ramming (sister to Earl) and she died. He then married a Grace Stanley from Crossville. They had four children: Joseph Wayne Peacock, Howard Earl Peacock, Wilma Louise Peacock and Virginia Grace Peacock. Joseph Wayne Peacock married Aldena Wilson of Enfield, Illinois and they had one son, Joe that married a ?Sheila Hale of Carmi.. Howard Earl Peacock married a Norma Jean Sullivan and they had several children. His second wife was the former Yvonne Pretzsch of Crossville. He resided in Henderson, Kentucky. Wilma Peacock married a Bill Brothers and they had several children and lived in the Chicago area. Virginia Sue Peacock married a Paul Sanders and they live in the Evansville, Indiana area. They had several daughters. Joseph Peacock had three sisters: Anna Peacock that married a Merle Ferguson...they had one son, a James Merle Ferguson of the Indianapolis, Indiana area. Nora Peacock that married Louis Pritchard...no children Louella Peacock that married a / Renshaw, ? Nelson, ? Ackerman. She had two son, Roy and Ronald Ackerman of Carmi, and a daughter Verla Marie Ackerman that married a ? Campbell of Crossville. Verla had two sons....one of which was Jerry. Ronald had a daughter Carol that married a Richard Guinn. Roy's descendants include a Janice Ackerman that married David Cross of Carmi. I am attempting to complete a family tree on this family, the descendants, and I need dates and names and locations....AND WELCOME ALL THE CORRECTIONS!!!. John E.
