(I bet you hope so too!!) I am looking for parent's & any information regarding ALICE M. PECK Alice M. PECK b. 12 June 1862 m. Byron MEAD b. 21 March 1861. Byron was the son of Calvert A. MEAD 1834-1912 and Ellen M. MESNARD 1836-1911, both of Huron Co. I would like to know if you have any marriage dates for Byron & Alice MEAD and if there is anything about their daughter (my grandparents): LORETTA MEAD b.1886 AND her mysterious husband GEORGE KING b.apprx.1870. Thanks for you help, Vicki V. >> Hi Vickie, Don't know if this one is yours or not, but I found an Alice PECK as a daughter of Henry T., Sr. and Abigail (HASTINGS) PECK of Wakeman Township, in our History of Huron County, Ohio, by A.J. Bauhgman, 1909. It occurs in Vol. 1, Page 378 in a biographical sketch on Henry T. PECK, Jr. who was born 22 Feb 1858 in Wakeman Township. His parents were Henry T., Sr. of Connecticut, and Abigail (Hastings) PECK of Massachussetts. who had 13 children who grew to maturity. They were: Warren, Atlanta, Byron, Julia, Adelbert, Royal, Lavinia, Edward, Wilmer, Virgil, Everett, Henry T., Jr., and Alice. Of this number, four are deceased (as of 1909): Adelbert, Edward, Lavinia, and William (sic). This same PECK family also appears in our 1870 Census Index of Huron County, Ohio. The following PECKs are listed for census page 596A, Wakeman Township. Read first name, age, and place of birth: Abaretta, 3, OH Abigail, 56, MA Adelbert, 27, OH Allie (possibly Alice?), 10, OH Charles, 19, OH Clara, 2, OH Cynthia, 9, OH Everett, 15, OH Henry T., 61, VT Henry, 13, OH Lanna, 22, OH Marilla, 50, NY Riley R., 56, VT Royal, 25, OH Virgil, 17, OH William, 20, OH. In our Huron County, Ohio Marriages, by Scheuer Publications, I find: Byron L. MEAD m. Alice M. PECK 22 Jul 1885. Calvert A. MEAD m. Ellen M. MESNARD 24 Mar 1857. The 1870 Census Index for Huron County, Ohio shows the MEAD family (including father Calvert and son Byron). All MEADs are listed on Census page 252 for Bronson Township. Read first name and place of birth: Albert, OH Byron, OH Calvert, OH Charles, OH Clayton, OH Ellen M., NY Henry, OH. Baughman's History of Huron County, Vol. 2, Page 75, in a biographical sketch on Calvert A. MEAD, notes that Calvert A. and Ellen (MESNARD) MEAD had seven children: Charles W., Byron L., Albert S., Gertrude, Louella, Clayton B., Henry B., and Frank L. In other references, Calvert A. MEAD appears in our Atlases of 1873 and 1891 owning over 90 acres of land in Section 3, lot 11, Bronson Township. He is seen in our 1880 Census Index for Huron County in Bronson Twp, page 004. Our Death Index for Huron County, Ohio, 1908-1919, gives the dates of death for Calvert A. and Ellen M. MEAD as 10/27/1912, and 12/14/1911 respectively. Finally, Calvert A. MEAD is listed on page 433 of our Index to the Commemorative Biographical Record of Huron and Lorain Counties, Ohio, by J.H. Beers & Co., 1894. We don't own the book itself so I can't help you further on this one. Regards, Ken Shute, in MD (kwsroots@aol.com).
