The Ancestors of Charles Sheldon MAXEY
1906 – 1995; compiled by Jeannette Spangler
Maxey 2010. Spiral bound, 118-page book with index and endnotes.
Some of the surnames in the book are: BOWLES, CHASTAIN,
COTTRELL, EBERT, EPPERT, FORD, FREY, HARPOLD, KIRK, MASON,
MYERS, REEVE, STEWART, WELLS, and WILKINS. There are
photographs, copies of obituaries, pedigree charts and much
more. Excerpt from author’s introduction: “For the first Charles
Sheldon MAXEY book, which I wrote in 2001, I decided to limit it
to the first 5 generations I had researched. Now, I have taken
the ancestors of Sheldon MAXEY back 11 generations; with some of
the lines I have found arriving in what is now the United States
in the 1600’s.”
The PECKHAM Family by Charles Wesley Peckham Sr.,
Ed. D., 2009. This well-researched book contains 833 pages with
an additional 69-page index. The Peckham Family includes 13
generations beginning in England. A few of the many surnames
indexed include: ADAMS, ANDERSON, BARKER, BENNETT, BREWER,
BROWN, CARPENTER, CHURCH, CLARK, CLARKE, REYNOLDS, THOMPSON,
TAYLOR, SLOCUM, and MYERS.
Excerpt from Chapter 1: “The ancient chronicles of England
reveal the early records of the name of PECKHAM as a Norman
surname which ranks as one of the oldest. The history of the
name is closely interwoven within the majestic tapestry as an
intrinsic part of the history of Britain. Duke William (The
Conqueror) took a census of most of England in 1086, and
recorded it in the Doomsday Book. …The surname PECKHAM emerged
as a notable family in the county of Kent where they were
recorded as a family of great antiquity seated as lords of the
manor and estates in that shire.” The Library also has Mr.
PECKHAM’s corrected Index for The Peckham Family Genealogy,
which was made necessary by a computer glitch in the original
index that caused the names and page numbers to be jumbled.

LAWSON/SLACK FUNERAL HOME RECORDS
Our society is indebted to the FRENCH family and to Grace COHN.
When the French family took over management of LAWSON/SLACK
Funeral Home, they gave us access to many of their old records.
This is valuable material for researchers. Grace COHN has
transferred information we are allowed to give the public onto
file cards. She has nearly completed the task, and the cards are
in our Funeral Home File. Handwriting all that information has
taken much, much time! We hope you will come
check out this addition to our resources. When you do, please
keep in mind the generosity of the French family and the
diligence of Grace.
