Lucy Peacock/William Proctor
Lucy Peacock married Wm Proctor and together they lived and
worked in McCleansboro, IL.Wm died 1894, Lucy lived till she was 80 years old.Lucy was born in MS in 1837, but lived with
Thomas and Ann Peacock in Peoria, IL - found her in their
census of 1850.Would like to know more about Lucy from her
time of birth till 1850-she married very young to Mr. Proctor
but they never had a family.Lucy's death certificate states'
her father was James Peacock, also born in MS but no mother
was given.Lucy and William were in the restaurant business
having the first restaurant in McCleansboro.I have been to
McCleansboro several times and cannot find her grave-even tho
her resting place was in the newspaper upon her death the
cemetery place said she was not listed.Could some of this
be because we feel she may of been of mixed race, and the church mentioned upon her death years later said they never
had her in their books.... suppose to be buried at the Odd
Fellows cemetery in McCleansboro.
Will respond to anyone willing to correspond with me.
