Biography
Jacob Peak purchased 50 Acres on the East Fork of Poplar Creek from Edward Hawkins for $200 on 9/6/1805 Author: Ed O'Brien Date: 24 Jan 2002 11:15 PM GMT I believe that father of Jacob was John based on 1784/1785 Tax records discovered by Paul Peak. William was identified as Jacob's father by SW Peak in 1930s. SW was son of Bird and grandson of Jacob. However, the William that was IDd was only 13 years old when Jacob was born. I have copy of SW Peak document that I received from Martha StWally. Think that brothers of Jacob, sons of John were Cue, Abel and Jonathon. Elizabeth possible daughter. Mary Polly Jones daughter of Thomas Jones and wife, Mary, possibly Renfro. -- John PEAK, Va and Tn, 1700's Posted by: Ed O'Brien Date: May 26, 1999 at 16:00:17 of 697 Trying to tie John PEAK of Pittsylvania/Henry/Franklin counties, Va, father of Jacob and Cue PEAK per 1784 Tax rolls, to John PEAK/PEEK of Pr Edward County, son of John PEAK/PEEK, brother of George PEAK/PEEK and also to John PEAK Sr of Anderson County, Tn per 1805 Tax Rolls. Any help would be appreciated or if someone can show that they were different people that also would be appreciated. John also father of Abel and Jonathon PEAK. Jacob PEAK settled in Anderson Co, TN and Abel in Morgan Co, Tn. --- Re: John PEAK, Va and Tn, 1700's Posted by: Ed O'Brien Date: November 21, 1999 at 15:56:04 In Reply to: Re: John PEAK, Va and Tn, 1700's by Paula Wolff of 697 Paula: Don't know if Imo got back to you on this or not. I have corresponded with her. I am pretty sure that Esther was the daughter of John who I am researching and sister of Jonathon, Abel and Jacob. I am of Jacob line. Sorry I didn't respond earlier but hadn't visited the Peak page in some time. Abel and Jacob both married Jones girls as did one of the Rentfro boys. Ed O'Brien -- Re: PEAK Family Tenn-Ill.

John Absolam Peak, son of William Peak married Elizabeth Hutson. She died Feb 15, 1879. He then married Sabra Scarboro. They divorced, no children. His third wife was Margret Rachel Garner, niece of Vice President Garner. Their child was Clyde Wm. Peak who was born Aug 29, 1882. He resided at 420 So. Main St., Clinton, Tennesee. He had resided on the land of his great grandfather, Jacob Peak, until 1943 when he was forced to sell the property to the United States to become part of the Atomic Energy Plant. ?(Oak Ridge)? He married Volina Caroline Peak on Nov 24, 1914. They had two children, Margaret and Sarah Lee Peak. Clyde Wm. Peak's grandfather was the son of ?(13)? William Peak who was a brother of your great grandfather, Absalom Peak. This last sentence was addressed to my grandmother, Mary Isabel Peak Evans. Mary Jones Peak was one of eight children as follows: Joseph Jones born Sept 19, 1759 Jeremiah Jones born Aug 15, 1761 Susan Jones born April 6, 1765 Sarah Jones born Mar 31, 1767 Mary Jones born Aug 21, 1769 Thomas Jones born Dec 13, 1771 Lyda Jones born Jan 30, 1776 Fanny Jones born Dec 22, 1773 The reference to the bible was one from the thirties or forties so it is questionable if there is anyone there currently related to us. I found recently that the 1850 Census contains a reference that although it is listed as Peck is, I believe really Peak. Note that Villota is living with her father then and one of her son's ?(The same one referenced above raised by West)? was living with them in Anderson County Tennessee. 1850 Census, Anderson Cty, Tennessee GEN 929.376873 E144E 1850 235/235 Jacob Peck, farmer $3000 Age 81 born Va Martha Age 45 born SC Vilolota Age 55 born Va J.C Hagler, farmer Age 27 born Tn These are the right ages for Jacob Peak and his daughter Villota. Also, Villota married a Hagler and presumably this is her son. Martha could be a daugher in law of Jacob's. census/1840/TENNESSEE/ANDERSON/NO TWP LISTED/28A lists a Jacob Peak naming only the head of the household. The family includes the following: 1 male 20-30 years old 1 male 70-80 years old 2 female 15-20 years old 1 female 40-50 years old 1 female 70-80 years old This also indicates that the family had 21 slaves. The same census page lists a William Peak. The family includes the following: 1 male 20-30 3 females under 5 1 female 20-30 Jacob Peak and his wife, Molly?(polly)? Jones, were both 71 during the 1840 census year. William Peak and his wife, Sarah ?(Sally)? Tunnel, were both 28 during the 1840 census year. William Peak and Sarah had three children under 5 during the 1840 census. Their names were as follows: Elizabeth Nancy Serelda ?(Note: these names were found in the census/1850/Tennesse/Anderson?
