Thanks Steve, Did some research tonight, and it turns out that the Jesse Peacock married to Elizabeth Moulton was a different Jesse. His father's uncle's son was my Jesse. Oh well. I'll keep looking. Appreciate your help. - Ray ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, October 20, 2001 10:42 PM Subject: Re: [NCWAYNE] Peacock > Ray, > Below is will of Abraham Molten.
