Peacock families in Matching from 1760 to 1820
We have seen that John Peacock had a Peacock father and was not illegitimate or adopted (see DNA results).
We have searched extensively for all the Peacock families in Matching and the surrounding area at this time.
In Matching there are three brothers:
John Peacock (1766-?) married to Mary Little (1773-1850)
William Peacock (1778 -1845) married to Susannah Clarke (1773 - 1861)
Thomas Peacock (1783-1837) married to Lucy Curtis (1787-1864)
The family of John peacock is poorly documented, but his assumed son is John Peacock (1813-1896).
The families of William and Thomas are well documented.
William has a son John (1803-1843) and a son Jonathon (1809 - 1879). Thus John (1813-1896) is not his child.
Thomas has no son called John, so John Peacock (1813-1869) could conceivably be his child. However, there is only one Peacock child (John Peacock) attending the Abbots Roothing Sunday School during the period 1818-1825. None of William's or Thomas's children attended the school. This suggests that John Peacock (1813-1896) is not from their families, but from a separate family. The only possibility is that he is a child of John Peacock and Mary Little.
In the area surrounding Matching there are other Peacock families. These families originally from Stanstead Mountfitchet, Essex, settled in and around Abotts Roothing in the 1780s.
We have a full and complete list of these Peacock families and they can not be the the parents of John Peacock (1813-1896). (These families are not shown in this work at the moment, but will be added in the near future).
Conclusion
There is only one family to whom John Peacock (1813-1896) could belong and that is John Peacock (1766-?) and Mary Little (1773-1850)
