For members researching surnames: PEEK, PEAK, PEAKS or PEAKE:

I’m looking for any information on a g-g-grandfather of mine George PEAK(E).

He was born about 1784 in Virginia and married his wife Sarah E. SAXON in
Laurens County, South Carolina ca 1813.

George PEAKE is shown in the 1840 and 1850 US Censuses of AUTAUGA County,
Alabama.

The 1850 census listed him and his family as residents of Wetumpka, Autauga,
Alabama.

George PEAKE and Sarah E. SAXON were the parents of :
Jane Downs Peek (1814-1884)
Nancy E. Peek (1831-?)
Charlotte Peake (1833-?)
Ida L. Peek (1834-?)
Sophiah Peake (1835-?)
George Franklin Peek (1836-1901) -my g-grandfather
James S. Peek
Benjamin Peek
William R. Peek (1842-1912)

A short biographical sketch of my g-grandfather (G.F. Peek, M.D.) in The
Goodspeed Publishing Company’s, “Biographical and Historical Memoirs of
Missisippi states that:
”…He is a son of George and Sarah E. (Saxon) Peek. The father was a native
of Virginia, and the mother of South Carolina. They were married in
Lawrence county , of the latter named state, and shortly afterward settled
in Autauga county, Ala, removing thence to Coosa county, Ala. “where they
resided until their deaths…”
I could not find George Peake and Sarah E. Saxon Peake in the 1860 census
for either Autauga or Coosa Counties.

I assume my g-g-grandparents George Peake and Sarah E. Saxon Peake died
between 1850 and 1860 in Coosa County and are buried somewhere in Coosa
County.

Will be happy to exchange information with anyone who has anything to add to
the above.

George Franklin Peek (1926----)
