John PEACOCK, my 6th Great Grandfather was born (or baptised?) March 2nd, 1746. He was the son of Robert Peacock and his wife Sarah Thurston. He married Phoebe Phillips in 1768 and had six children: Robert, John, Sarah, William, Thomas and Edward. Sarah married William OSLAR of Cambridge.

For a time we found PEACOCKs on the Drake side, ancestors of Annie Eliza ATKINSON who married John Abraham DRAKE and moved to Canada. Mary PEACOCK married William LENG in Whitby, Yorkshire 1772. It is doubtful that these two Peacock families are connected.
