Bill Thank you for this information.... this is a different group of Peed's. This will help me to keep them sorted out. Is the Peed Cemetery to which you refer in Person County? As a long time Peed researcher (descendant of group 2 and group 3), I can tell you there have been at least 4 groups of Peed's in the coastal areas of NC. Group One believed came out of VA, migrated to Person County NC, from Person County into other areas of NC. Group Two believed came out of VA, migrated to Edgecombe & Nash Counties, then to Beaufort County... these are my ancestors (Henry Peed line). Group Three found in Beaufort County, believed to have VA connections... these are my ancestors (George W Peed line). Group Four found in very early NC on VA border. This group has little published concerning descendants. As hard as it may be to believe, no documentation has been found that connects the four groups of Peed's to each other in NC or VA.... have searched for over 20 years. It is not unusual, especially in the 1700s through 1800s, to see the name spelled Pead, Peed, Peade, Peede, Peid, Pede, etc. Rae Jean ... in Tennessee ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Kittrell" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, November 08, 2005 7:55 PM Subject: [NC-PCFR] PEEDE : The only Peede family I know that lives around Ayden is Billy Peede, a friend of mine. I talked with him. He told me his family came from Roxboro in Person county. There is a large Peede cemetery located there that he has been to. I believe he may have more information but did not press him for that. I am sure I can get copy if need be. We use to play softball together. : : Billy Peede : Father: L.
