? Peacock
1620 - 12/23/1719
|
? Peacock was born about 1620 in an unknown place and died on December 23, 1719 in an unknown place. Actual date of birth is unknown. He lived to be about 100 years old.
This person is the grandfather of our Samuel Peacock. We are only guessing at the year he was born. For example, we know that Samuel was born around 1680ish. If we subtract 20 years from his birth we arrive at 1660 for the earliest date of his father's birth. If we subtract another 20 years, we arrive at 1640 for the earliest date of his grandfather's birth. However, his father and grandfather may have been more than 20 years old when their sons were born. Based on these estimates, we are guessing that Samuel's grandfather was most likely born between 1620 and 1640.
NOTE: Do you have information on this person? Nothing is actually known about him other than he was the father of William Peacock. Below are some records that might be clues. Please email us if you can help solve this mystery. |
