Jericho Friends Meeting Page 5 And Its Community 1846 Surnames are: Peacock, Hill Amos Peacock                     Amos Peacock was the third childand eldest son of Abram Peacock. He and his wife Hannah came to Randolph County in 1818 and settled on eighty acres of land just south of his father's quarter as shown on Fig. 1. It is through Amos Peacock that all the members of the Peacock family have descended who now remain in and about Jericho.            Amos was an influential member of the Jericho Meeting and took an active part in the civil life of the Community. He was appointed Commissioner of that part of the State Road (laid out in 1820, now known as the Greenville Pike), which lay between the ford of the White River and the State Line. The fact that he held this position indicates both his standing in this early community and the importance of the road to the community. Aaron Hill, his father-in-law, lived in Amos' home during much of the time he was in Indiana. Amos and Sarah Peacock had nine children. He died July 2, 1850, and she died September 8, 1867. Both are buried in the present Jericho burying-ground.
