William Holmes Peake born 1751 lived in Hope Township Ontario Canada
There is an online history of William Holmes Peake of Deckerville and I believe that he may have had a daughter that married Nehemiah Vail. Nehemiah Vail was later married to a Dorcas Preston. William Holmes Peake had a land grant for concession 1, lot 27 in Hope Township, Ontario. Nehemiah Vail jr also lived in Hope Township with his wife Dorcas. William Holmes Peake spoke about the guardianship of his grand daughter Phoebe Vail in 1841 in his will. The Phoebe Vail of Nehemiah Vail Jr was born 1822 and she would fit as that grand daughter and they were in the same small area of Port Hope.
