Some info on Capt David Peebles down to the Cannons of Knox County, Tennessee

The following PDF was created by me from an orphaned webpage, meaning the page is still online but the website associated with it is gone. You'll notice it starts at generation 5, because I removed the info about the living family members.

This line is not my line although I have a line back to Capt David Peebles. I will have to dig up that info.

    My maternal grandfather, Verner Allen Cherry (1893-1964) was the son of William Henry Marshall Cherry (1867-1932) and Clarinda Isadora Dugger (1867-1930). William Henry Marshall Cherry was the son of James K. Polk Cherry (1844-1890) and Nancy Evaline Atteberry (1841-1916). Nancy Evaline Atteberry was the daughter of Barnett Atteberry (1813-1912) and Caroline Peebles (1818-1859). Caroline Peebles was the daughter of Bird Peebles (1795-1852) and Nancy Brooks (1795-1868). Bird Peebles was the son of John Peebles (1763-1849) and Wilmouth Owen (Abt 1768-1803). John Peebles was the son of Lewis Peebles and Sarah Peebles. Lewis Peebles was the son of Abraham Peebles (1695-1782) and Mary Green. Abraham Peebles was the son of William Peebles II and Elizabeth Hamlin. William Peebles II was the son of William Peebles and Judeth Drayton or Hamlin. William Peebles was the son of Capt. David Peebles and Elspet Mackie.

    Geographically my Peebles connections slowly move from Scotland to Virginia on to South Carolina then to North Carolina, then to Kentucky then to Macoupin County, Illinois with my grandfather finally settling in Madison County, Illinois near where I live in St. Louis County, Missouri.

      There is a very good book about the Peebles family in the US starting with David Peebles. I don't remember the exact title of author but I will get it. Some of the information is incorrect but most of it is correct. Through a DNA test of my father I found an exact match who is related to us through Thomas Peebles' brother Plummer Peebles.
      Here is a simplified line to keep it short:
      Capt. David Edward Peebles m Elspeth Mackie (others later) his father may be Robert Burgess Peebles
      William Peebles I m Judith Drayton
      William Peebles II m Elizabeth Hamlin - my connection with you
      Thomas Peebles I m Sarah (Tatum?)
      Nathaniel Peebles Amelia (Meley, Milley) ?
      Thomas Peebles m Martha Patsy Plummer
      Thomas Micajah Peebles m Mary Hawkins
      Lewis Jacskon Peoples I m Lucy Catherine (Haskins) Gregory widow of D.W. Gregory
      Lewis Jackson Peoples II m Josephine Thomas Haskins
      Edward Gregory Peoples m Leah Caroline Graves my father's parents/my grandparents

      My Peoples family moved to North Carolina from Virginia just a generation ago due to the flooding of their land from a dam being built to create a lake; before that they tended to remain in Virginia.
