Does anyone have information on the Peacock family? Benajah was born about 1814 in Dobbs, Wayne County. I do not know who his parents were but he was in GA by 1835: What county? He married Penelope Herring born about 1815 and she was daughter of Joshua Herring and wife Kesiah/Keziah. Joshua was in GA also and on to AL. Believe Penelope also had brothers William R. and Joseph and at least 2 more (maybe). If anyone is on Sampson list could you please forward this? I believe this Joshua was from Sampson Co., NC. Thanks, Rose Parks

Hello Rosa, I have them in my database. Benajah is in my line of Peacocks, but a different branch. I have him, as you do, born about 1814 in Dobbs/Wayne Co., NC and died about 1901 in Schley Co., Ga., married to Penelope Herring, c 1815-1842. I show 5 children, Elizabeth Wealthy, Keziah Ann, Robert Howell, Hartwell Joshua and Mary Angiline. I believe my source was http://www.wf.net/~jyates/html/fam00026.htm. When Penelope died, he married Elizabeth Murray, and they had a son, John Wesley. She died in 1845 and he married a third time, to Eleanor Price Thompson, and they had 6 kids. Benajah's was the first of 10 children of Robert Peacock and Wealthy Howell. After Wealthy died, he married her sister, America Howell, and they had 10 more kids. I show Robert born in Wayne Co., NC and moving to Twiggs Co, then HoustonCo, then Loundes Co.,Ga,then returning to Wayne,NC, and dying in Brooks, GA. Robert was one of the many children of Simon Peacock and Zilpha Pittman, Wayne Co., NC, son of John Peacock and Patience Ann Raiford, Wayne Co., NC, from whom I descend through another son Jesse. - Ray ----- Original Message ----- From: "harold parks" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, October 19, 2001 11:27 AM Subject: Re: [NCWAYNE] Benajah Peacock > > > Rose Parks <[email protected]> wrote: > Does anyone have information on the Peacock family?

Thanks.Thanks Thanks. Ray, At least I now have some Georgia counties to look in. I found that on Benajah on ancestry.com and did have John Yates name attached with an e-mail address but so far I have not heard from him. I wonder if the William R. stands for Railford??? Haven't seen it except in that 1850 census. I will check the web site in the event something else will help. Thanks again, I hoped some of the Rootsweb listers would have some information. Rose
