Hi Bonnie
Thanks for answering. The dates I have for Elizabeth Griffin Peachy comes from her tombstone, which I presume is correct or at least close to correct. It says: "Elizabeth Griffin Peachy, Born 1752, died 1834". She is buried at Wickliffe Church Graveyard, Clarke County, Virginia with James Williamsand other family members. James Williams stonesays " James Williams, Born London, England, 1763, died Waverly, Clark County, 1812". LeRoy Peachy Williams b about 1789 died 4 Apr 1864and his wifeAnn Helm areburied nearby. I know that LeRoy had a brother , Allen Williams, who also married into the Helm family. He is not buried with the family at Wickliff or if so, I have not found evidence of his grave. Other graves nearby James , Elizabeth, :LeRoy and Ann ( Helm) Williams that I presume are LeRoy'ssiblings based on dates given for death and ages at death are:
Dr. James J. Williams, aged 73 yrs. 2 mos. (No death date)
Sarah H., wife of Dr. J. J. Williams, b. Jan 1, 1801, d. August 11, 1882
Hannah G. Williams, d. Oct. 5, 1861 aged 68 yrs.
Eliza Peachy Williams, d. June 29, 1871 aged 80 yrs.
James Williams, Born London, England, 1763, died Waverly, Clark County, 1812.
LeRoy and Ann's stones say"
Leroy P. Williams, d. April 4, 1864 aged 75 yrs.
Mrs. Ann Williams, d. June 15, 1865 aged 65 yrs. 5 mos.
I do think we are speaking about the same family especially with the coincidence of names including Elizabeth and LeRoy. I would love to share info with you aboutthem. Although I am not sure what the relationship of the two Elizabeth Peachy Griffins are, I am sure there is one. It would not be the first time I found a gravestone with an incorrect birth year, so it's possible they are the same person. You can see that "Elizabeth Griffin Peachy" is a family name that was carried on . Hannah G's middle name was probably " Griffin" and "Eliza" may be short for Elizabeth on gravestone and the " Peachy" is spelled out hers as well as Elizabeth's stone. In addition, LeRoy and Ann (Helm) Williams had a daughter they named "Elizabeth Griffin Peachy Williams". I don't know when she was born or when she died though. Only got her name from his will. They also had a son they named LeRoy, another they named James and a daughter Hannah, among others.I would love to know more about your Elizabeth Peachy Griffin and family. Please feel free to contact me in email if you would like to. I will look forward to hearing from you either here or in mail.
Irene
