PEAKS The significance of this name is not far to seek. It undoubtedly belongs to that large class derived from natural objects; and was probably ap- plied in primitive times to dwellers on a peak or mountain-top. The English form of the patronymic is Peake, and among the present representatives of the name are Major Mal- colm Peake, of the British army, Colonel Wal- ter Ancell Peake, a landowner, and Dr. Ar- thur S. Peake, professor of Biblical Exegesis at Victoria University, Manchester. In Amer- ica Ehore Elliott Peake, of Illinois, is well known among the younger authors and maga- zine contributors. Among the early settlers of this country was Benjamin Peake, who was

at Stratford, Connecticut, in 1669; Christo- pher Peake, who was at Roxbury, Massachu- setts, in 1635; and William Peaks, who was at Scituate, Massachusetts, in 1643. He was the ancestor of the following line, which seems to be the only one in Amerca which has always spelled the name with an s.
(I) William Peaks, first American ancestor, bore arms at Scituate, Massachusetts, in 1643. He bought lands of "Goody Woodfield," widow of John Woodfield. His house was at Hoop- pole Neck, on the east of the "stepping stones" way, where his descendants lived for many subsequent generations. In 1650 he married Mrs. Judith Litchfield, widow of Lawrence Litchfield, who had previously been the widow of John Allen (1). To William and Judith ( Allen) (Litchfield) Peaks were born three children: Israel, 1655; Eleazer, 1657; and William (2), whose sketch follows.
(II) William (2), son of William (I) and Judith (Allen) (Litchfield) Peaks, was born at Scituate, Massachusetts, in 1662, and died in 1717. By his father's will he received lands in Showamet, probably in the neighborhood of Scituate. According to his will, his wife was named Jean, and, besides his sons, he remembers his daughter, Thankful Daman, and also Hannalı, Judith, Sarah, Penelope and Su- sanna, who were presumably unmarried. The records are somewhat confused in regard to his sons; but according to one statement he had three: Philip, Israel and William (3), who is mentioned below. In his will William (2) speaks of Eleazer ; and it is quite probable that this might have been a fourth son, as Eleazer, son of Israel and grandson of Will- iam (2) Peaks, was not born till 1736.
(III) William (3), son of William (2) and Jean Peaks, was born about 1790, probably at Scituate, Massachusetts. The only information we have concerning him is that he was the father of William (4).
(IV) William (4), son of William (3) Peaks, was born in 1719, probably at Scituate, Massachusetts.
(V) Israel, probably a son of William (4) Peaks, was born in Massachusetts in 1768, and died at Dedham, Maine, in 1865. He probably lived at various places along the coast, as some of his children were born at Gloucester, Massachusetts. He married --- Coombs, and their children were, Benjamin, Samuel, Joshua, F. William, whose sketch follows, Deboralı, Annie, Sally and Serena.
(VI) F. William, fourth son of Israel and (Coombs) Peaks, was born at Glouces- ter, Massachusetts, in 1801, died at Dedham,

Beginning in 1882 he was continu- ously in the employ of the Maine Central rail- road, serving as locomotive engineer from 1885 to 1905, when he was injured by an acci- dent at Dexter, Maine, which incapacitated him from further railroad work. Since that time he has been living on a farm at Foxcraft.

MORGAN The family of Morgan are of Welsh origin and trace back through many generations to the great Cadwallader and other British and Welsh kings of the seventh century. The American ancestors, it is said, are descended from Sir William Morgan, of Tredegar, Wales, at whose home Charles I was enter- tained for two days in 1645. The lineage of Captain Miles Morgan who settled at Spring- field, Massachusetts, is clearly traced in the re- cent admirable work, "The Family of Morgan by Dr. Appleton Morgan," but no relationship between Captain Miles and the other emi- grants, James, John and William, is noted. That Captain Miles and James Morgan, of New London, were not brothers seems to be about proven. The Morgans of Maine were probably descendants of Miles through his son. (I) Samuel Morgan was born in Glouces-
ter, Massachusetts, June 10, 1764, and died in Guilford, Maine, May 26, 1843. His occupa- tion was that of sailor in early life, and in later years he engaged in farming. He married Jemima Morehead, who was born in Glouces- ter, Massachusetts, September 9, 1766. They had eight children, four of whom were born in Gloucester and the four younger ones in North Yarmouth, Maine, where the family re- moved about 1800. In 1814 they removed to Guilford, Maine. The birth records of their children are as follows: Mina ; Lydia, May 13, 1795: May; Susan, February 10, 1798; Sam- uel, May 3, 1800: John, December 3, 1802; William, September 11, 1805; Amanda, De- cember 19, 1809.
(II) John, second son of Samuel and Jemima (Morehead) Morgan, was born in North Yarmouth, Maine, December 3, 1802. In 1814 he removed with his father to Guil- ford, Maine, where he built the first dam on the river and the first mill. He also built a sawmill in the northern part of the town and operated both for a time. He then sold out and carried on a large farm. He was a very successful speculator and held the office of town treasurer from 1850 to 1855. Mr. Mor- gan was a Republican in politics, and his church relations were with the Universalist so- ciety. He married, at Guilford, Maine, May 5. 1832, Eliza, daughter of Isaac and Betsey ( Foster ) Herring, of Gloucester, Massachu- setts, who was born in Guilford, August 21, 1811. Isaac was son of Robert Herring, and grandson of Benjamin Herring, born 1727, who served in the revolutionary war in Cap- tain Isaac Parson's company. Colonel Joseph Prince's Massachusetts regiment, and who afterward as a privateer was lost at sea. Ben- jamin Herring was son of Robert Herring, of Gloucester. Children of John and Eliza ( Her- ring) Morgan were: 1. Ann M., born in Guil- ford, June 25, 1833, died February 16, 1892; married Sewall Grover, of Guilford, who died April 18, 1894; they left a daughter Addie, now Mrs. Hartwell Appleby. 2.
