Allen M. Peacock was Richard White's 3-great uncle. His father was Alexander Peacock,
Jr., and his mother was Elizabeth Sellers, who was a sister of Richard
White's 2-great grandfather Jacob Benjamin Sellers. Elizabeth Sellers and
Alexander Peacock were married in Pulaski County, Georgia, in 1833.
Allen M. Peacock was enrolled in the Thomas County Volunteers,
Company H of the 29th Georgia Infantry Regiment, as a private on 12 May
1862. He died of diarrhea at Atlanta, Georgia, on 15 November 1863, and was
buried in
Atlanta's Oakland Cemetery.
NOTE: In the 1850 census for Thomas County, Georgia, Allen and James Peacock
appeared in the household of William Sasser and his wife Sarah.
Sarah was Sarah Davis, a sister of Richard White's 2-great grandfather
Jonas B. Davis.
In that
same census of 1850 the Alexander and Elizabeth Peacock household was
enumerated in both Baker County, Georgia (on 2 January 1850) and Thomas
County, Georgia (on 14 August 1850). It's clearly the same household,
but "William Cellers" age
76 (i.e. born about 1774), who was there said to have been born in
Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, appears in the household only in the
Baker County census. This was William Sellers, the father of
Elizabeth Sellers Peacock and Jacob Benjamin Sellers.
In the 1840 census for Thomas County, Georgia, William Sellars'
household was listed four away from that of Alexander Peacock, Jr.. Alexander Peacock, Sr.'s family was enumerated in the 1830 census for
Pulaski County, Georgia.
Jonas B. Davis was my mother's father's father's father.
Jacob Benjamin Sellers was my father's mother's father's father.
