William Peach and his sister Hannah were both our direct ancestors. Emma Devereux, her brother John, and her sister Hannah were all three our direct ancestors (and Hannah gave us two by her first and second husband). We know little about the lives of William and Emma apart from the vital statistics available. He died with a will that identified him as a mariner. Unfortunately, the will is missing. The house they built in 1691 was a "frame salt box with a central chimney." The house still stands on Marblehill Road in Marblehead, and at some time in its history was "Black Joe's Tavern."
All four of their children were baptized on 19 Jun 1687 when Emma was admitted to the church. Their four children gave them some thirty grandchildren.
The research on this family is complete.
