I am trying to find information on my Peake ancestors. My line starts with my great-grandmother, Catherine Louise Peake, and extends back as follows:
d/o James Franklin Peake & Laura Gertrude Linkins
s/o James B. Peake & Mary E. Lusby
s/o John H. Peake & Mary M. Drury
s/o Thomas Peake & Charlotte

Many of the Peakes who lived in Washington are buried in Congressional Cemetery. Their obituaries can be seen at http://www.congressionalcemetery.org/PDF/Obits/P/Obits_Peake... Thomas Peake raised his family in Washington but was born in Maryland (date unknown). He died about 1840 in Washington. His wife Charlotte was born in January 1797 in St. Mary's County, Maryland and died 10 Jan 1864 in Washington. Thomas and Charlotte, according to her obituary, had thirteen children. The only ones I have been able to identify so far are John H. (b. 1817) and James T. Peake (b. 1819). I have a suspicion that one of their youngest children was a son named Robert, born about 1833, but I have not been able to prove this yet.

If anyone has any information and can help, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you.
