↑ Noel Hunt McRoberts, III wrote -- [The following genealogy was written by hand on an un-lined, letter-size sheet of paper found inserted among the pages of the Bible of H. A. Peck. The author is not indicated. The obituary of Henry A. Peck, presumably published in a Rockwall, Texas newspaper, is glued to the inside cover of the Bible. He was born November 2, 1862 in Giles County, Virginia. His date of death is not stated in the obituary, but someone has written “Dec. 2 1938” at the top of the notice. His family is not mentioned.]
