NC Queries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/Johnston/12351 Surname: Peacock, Raiford, Davey ------------------------- Jesse Peacock b abt 1747, son of John and Patience was an officer in the Revolutionary War (Lt., I believe), according to Pierce's "Birds of a Feather." I recently discovered obits and a bio of my grandfather Rufus W. Peacock, Jesse's grandson, that say his grandfather was an "aid de-camp on General Washington's staff." Of course, this was over 100 years later, and could be family exaggeration. Can anyone suggest a way of trying to verify that it is true that Jesse served on Washington's staff?
