John Peacock and Malvina with children. I discovered that this is John Peacock Jr. I have noticed that a few other ancestry links have confused John Peacock Sr and Jr. It is easy to tell because this is clearly labeled to show John and Malvina and the dates match to make him John Peacock Jr. The McKinley family is not related to Malvina. They are related to his first wife Mary Miller. Mary was the mother of Sarah Peacock who is Simeon Rufus Wright's mother. So that would make her my Great great grandmother.
Above: John Jr. and Mary were parents to Sarah Peacock Wright ( born Oct 15, 1835) in Ohio. who was Simeon Rufus Wright's mother. She died Feb 20, 1910 of a stroke and her father died the same year. Sarah would have been 57 at the time of this picture and is not shown. I found where Sarah had a brother John W. and a sister Mary. I think her brother John is a Jr. I remember seeing something about John Jr. These could possibly be Malvina's children. More research.

Back Lillie, Charlotte, Elizabeth, Amanda, Dora. Front row: Charles, John Peacock Jr. (1812-1910) and Malvina (Dolan) Peacock. Picture taken in 1892, Mapleton, Iowa. John was married to a Mary Miller who was born in Pennsylvania. She died in 1889. He married Malvina in 1890 so I don't know how many of these kids are from his first marriage and how many are Malvina's. Lily, Charlotte, Elizbeth, Amanda, Dora, Charles, John and Malvina..

He was born in Kingston Upon Hull, Kingston upon Hull Unitary Authority, East Riding of Yorkshire, Eng. He married Married Mary Miller (1815-1889). He and Mary had 2 children, Sarah and Mathilda. I never read that he and Mary were divorced but John married Malvena Dolan (1830- ) on May 11, 1854. She would have been 24 and the first wife 39. Looks like he traded his first wife for a younger model. His first wife Mary Miller didn't die until 1889. John and Malvina went on to have 9 children. They were buried in Grant
Cemetery in Ticonic, Iowa.
This letter has to do with John Peacock Sr. I have never heard if anyone ever got the money yet.
Above: This is a picture of John Peacock but I don't know if he is the father or the son, but I think he is Senior John Peacock. Thank goodness it doesn't look like anyone in our family took after them.
This is John Peacock Jr. 1812-1910. He was born in Hull, England and came to America May 28, 1818, to Philadelphia, PA. He would have only been 6 years old. I read on the passenger crew list they brought 5 boxes clothing, three cooks furnishings and pots, churns and two boxes of bedding. I can't read it very well, but I think that's what it said. I have not verified this for sure, but it shows he had a brother Joseph (1852?) and a sister Levina (1829?) He was married first to Mary Miller (B-1815-D-1889) on Aug 2, 1832. Mary was 22 when they got married. (I found their marriage cert.) I can't figure out all of their children, but I think they had 2 children, Sarah (B-Oct 15, 1835. D-Feb 20, 1910) and Mathilda. I found Sarah's death cert with info. I don't know what happened, but he married Malvina Dolan Peacock May 11, 1854. Malvina was born 1830 or 1834 and died in 1931. Maybe it is a case of Sister wives? Or maybe I haven't discovered they were Mormons. Or they came to America and caught "divorce." It appears she was 24 years or younger when they married. I was told she had children from a previous marriage. I am telling a story I heard, but John's family was from England and their family was well to do. Story goes that when he died his biological children tried to get the inheritance but could not because of the step siblings. They would have to sign papers and they refused according to the story. Sooo.. who knows? Last I heard the step siblings live in Chicago and have regular reunions.
This is the only picture I have of China Francis Wright. I was told she disappeared when she was around 18. This picture was taken when she was about 17. She is the sister of Simeon Rufus Wright. Her grandparents are Sarah Peacock and John Peacock. Malvina Dolan Peacock would have been her step- mother.
I have some info on John Peacock Sr. He was an only child.
John Peacock Sr was born in 1790, the son of Ann and Henry. He Married Sarah Francis Jones in 1810 and had one son in 1812, John William Peacock Jr. John Jr. was born in England. John and Sarah arrived in the port of Philadelphia with John Jr. May 28, 1818, from England. He died on January 28, 1858, at the age of 68.
