PEACHEY FAMILY
Samuel Peachey, the immigrant, was son of Robert Peachey, of Milden Hall in Suffolk County, England, and Anne Hodgskin, his wife. As a youth lie accompanied his uncle, William Hodgs- kin, to Virginia in 1659. The following letter is from the records of Richmond County, Virginia :
BROTHER WILLIAM :- My love, with your sisters, to you presented, and desiring God to (bless) keep both of you and my son Samuel, which is to go along with him, but Brother, Shee and I desire, aceording as you promised me, that you would be a father rather than an unkle to him, to lett him be to you, as indeed he Is, a kinsman, and not a slave. You shall receive by Beeeraft, the carrier of Norwich, a Trusse with your Turkey and rapier in it Directed to Mr. Edward Addenbrook, as you

ROBERT PEACHEY.
I pray lett us heare from you as soon as possible of your arrivall. To his Loveing friend, Mr. Wm. Hodgskin, there presents with.
Recordat-Test :
JAMES SHERLOCK, CI. Cur.
According to the record of the deposition of Mr. Edward Ad- cock (whose authority is Mrs. Elizabeth Dobbins) Samuel's mother was own sister of Mrs. Elizabeth Dobbins, and Mr. William Hodgskin was their brother. Mrs. Elizabeth Dobbins was wife of Mr. Daniel Dobbins. (In the Richmond County Records the name is always spelt with an "e" before the last letter.)
By Mrs. Phoebe Slaughter's deposition, made July 7, 1703, Mr. William Hodgskin was her first husband, her brother being Mr. Henry Smith (and she was a daughter of Col. Toby Smith, of Rappahannock) ; that on a visit to England she saw Mrs. Anne Peachey, mother of Mr. Sam Peachey, and heard Mr. Hodgskin call her sister"; that Machin Hodgskin was brother of William Hodgskin, and Mrs. Anne Peachey was their eldest sister, and Samuel Peachey her eldest son.
This is confirmed by the family bible of Thomas Griffin Peachey, from which the following is a literal transcription :
Thomas Griffin Peachey, son of Samuel and Winifred Peachey, was born December 23, 1734, and was married to Elizabeth, the eldest daughter of Mr. John Gilliam, October 12, 1758. Eliza- beth Gilliam b. March 26, 1741; d. May 27, 1781. T. G. Peachey d. March 6, 1810.

Griffin Peachy, was son of William Peachy, who was the son of Samuel Peachy, who was the son of Robert Pcachy, of Milden Hall, the county of Suffolk, in England, from which place the last-named Samuel Peachy immigrated with his family to Virginia about the latter part of the seventeenth century, and purchased lands and settled himself on the banks of Rappahannock, in the county of Richmond.

The Peachey arms, as preserved on a seal of the late William S. Peachy, are the same as those of John Peachy, Esq., of Sussex county, England, granted in 1614: Az. a lion rampant, double queued crm. ducally gu (Burke). The crest of the seal differs in some measure, but it is identical with a crest of "John Peachey, Esq.," whose book-plate I have seen in Judge Beverley Tucker's library in an old copy of Chaucer's Poems-a demi-lion double queued erm. holding in the dexter paw a sword point upward.

I have received two letters from Mrs. Nora Doyle Levy, which may be of interest to my readers :
MULBERRY, ISLAND, September 29, 1811.
MR. JOHN ROBINSON :- I was greatly obliged to you for your favours, of which I have two unanswered ones now before me. You must receive this in answer to them both, as I cannot tell when I shall have another opportunity. This I expeet Mr. Humphrey Wynne, who is Sheriff for this county, will take charge of. I cannot Say but I experienced some uneasiness in not hearing from my child, as it has bin some time since I had a letter from him, and it being a sickly season, which he seldom eseaped when with me; but when I considered that he had his health up then better, and I was almost certain if anything of consequence shou'd be the matter with him, you would let me know, all these things contented me. You will receive enclosed in this the money for his Schooling, as it is very near twelve months now since he first went. Indeed, I am afraid it will be rather Late by the time you get this. I think Miles told me he thought it was forty dollars, which the two notes amount to that I shall send for that purpose. You can never know, my dear Brother, how I feel indebted to you and his Aunt for taking of him and treating him as your own. I hope if he lives he will possess gratitude which, if he does, he can never

forget it. I have wished much for an opportunity to write to you ever Since I left Williamsburg. Brother & sister have been unlucky in having the girl who attended to their children to leave them, at a time, too, when they cannot procure another to take her place; while I was there Harriet was kind enough to take the trouble of them from sister and they all got so much attached to her that I prevailed on her not to leave them when I did, Saying I should write to you Soon, but did not think you wou'd have any objection to her Staying awhile. She consented with some reluc- tance, but I told her I knew Brother would give her something for her trouble, and about a fortnight ago brother was here and requested me to let her stay until the expiration of the year, provided you had no objection. I hope you will write me Soon, if only a short letter, & let me know, that I may inform him. Her staying their under the care of Brother and sister, I hope, will be no disadvantage to her at all, and at present I have not anything for her to doe. Our relations, I believe, are all tolerably well. Molly Howard has bin very sick, I've understood, but she has recovered. The people have bin very unhealthy with the bilious and ague & fever, as to myself, I am as well as usual, but have had a very sick family; not more so than I might have expected, though. I cannot tell you the Amount of the Sum left Aunt's Daughters; enough, tho, I believe, to assist them greatly. It was left them by a Great Aunt. I have some remembrance of her, her name was Dorothy Kemp, a near relation of our grandmother Phillips's.
Doe my Brother, make my Son write to me. I shall doe as you direct concerning his bed. I hope you will excuse this dreadful scrawl, for I know it is a horrid one; let me know whether he is a good boy or not, I shall be glad to know. I hope this will finde all well. Remember me to them all that enquire after me.
Your affectionet Sister, ANNE CARY.
March 14, 1812. Warwick.
MY DEAR BROTHER :- It has bin sometime since I wrote to you, but I know you will excuse it, when you know it was not for want of inclination. I understand from Miles, that you intend going from home this Spring. Shou'd this be the case, Brother, and you think my child can be taken from school, I must request you and his teacher (master) to permit him to come to see me, provided Anthony comes down with him. You can guess better than I can express to you the uncasiness I experienced con- cerning your family when I heard of that ever-to-be-remembered fire. For two days did I remain in the most dreadful suspense, before I heard your- self and family was out of it. Poor Mrs. Craig. Sincerely do I feel for her. I understand she has Lost another Daughter in Consequence of it.
I believe all our relations are well. I've not heard lately from Ann Throckmorton. Brother Starkey has taken up his old habit again. I suppose you have heard it. I heard yesterday Mr. Wm. Howard was very ill, our Niece, Mary H., has bin sick, but soon recovered enough to be

frollieking about with them. It appears to me as if they have endeavoured to See how many they could be. Mr. Prescud the first; Our Nephew, T. C .. the next. Billy was mistaken in telling of you concerning the pear Graft. Brother, I had a pareel engrafted for you and Brother A., but he did not attend to them as he should have done and they were destroyed, which I was very Sorry for; but have some now that I shall, if I can, save for you. Oh my Brother, when Shall I ever be thankful cnough to you for yours and Mrs. Robinson's kindness to my only child. Mrs. Portiaux sent me word a few days ago that hic was well. She and Sister Robinson is on a visit in person. You tell me my child Shall not want while he is with you, oh, what a relief to me. I send him what I can. I am afraid from what you Say that you think I ought to dress him more than I doe. The Jacket I sent him was an old peace of casimer his unele gave him ever since he was first at Williamsburg, which I kept untill then, thinking he would be more in want than at that time. Dear Brother, if you could, write soon; tell Miles if he can Spare time, to let me know how you all are. I am very poorly with the headach. Adicu.
Yours, &e.,
