  1. 4.  Peeke, John was born on 1 Nov 1657 in Devon, Halwell (son of Peeke, Richard and Anne); died in 1725/26; was buried on 11 Jan 1725/26 in Devon, Cornworthy.

    Other Events:

    • Residence: Halwell and Cornworthy

    Notes:

    Born Halwell 1 November 1657, second son of Richard Peeke of Abbotsleigh and his second wife Anne. Married to his first wife, Mary Robbins of Cornworthy by licence at Harberton, Devon, 22 April 1680. Harberton vicarage was annexed to the living of the parish church of Halwell; Harberton is also near Ashprington, where members of the Robbins family lived. The marriage licence was issued by the Bishop of Exeter on 19 April 1680, and the accompanying marriage bond dated 21 April 1680 (now in the possession of the Devon Record Office) was signed by John Peeke and his friend and bondsman Leonard Wadland of Halwell who was a brother of the Grace Wadland who married Richard Peeke ("the younger"), John Peeke's half-brother, as his second wife. After Mary's death in August 1690 John Peeke married another local girl, Mary White, at Cornworthy on 17 April 1694. Both the Robbins and the White families apparently owned considerable property in the Cornworthy area, and no doubt John Peeke benefited through his two wives.

    All the children of John Peeke's two marriages were baptised at Cornworthy. Two of them, John and Joseph, were also buried there. Susanna, the eldest child, was married to John Brookins at Cornworthy on 6 November 1707.

    John married Robbins, Mary on 22 Apr 1680 in Devon, Harberton. Mary was born in 1656/57; died in 1690; was buried on 24 Aug 1690 in Devon, Cornworthy. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 5.  Robbins, Mary was born in 1656/57; died in 1690; was buried on 24 Aug 1690 in Devon, Cornworthy.

    Other Events:

    • Baptism: 16 Jan 1656/57

    Notes:

    Mary Peeke nâee Robbins was a member of a family which had resided at Ashprington since at least the first half of the sixteenth century. The first mention found was that of a William Robyns on the subsidy roll for 1545/46. Until the seventeenth century, however, many members used the alternative surnames 'Johns' and 'Jones', and there are numerous examples at Ashprington of "Robyns als Johns" or "Jones alias Robins". The family became particularly prominent in Ashprington with the emergence of Edward Robbins, senior, Richard Robbins and John Robbins, senior, during the first half of the seventeenth century. The most important member was seemingly Henry Robbins (probably a brother of the three just mentioned) who married Elizabeth Parrett, belonging to another large and well-known Cornworthy and Ashprington family, by licence at Exeter St Martin on 23 August 1636. He had extensive interests in Dartmouth and also in Cornworthy through his wife's family. One of their sons, Thomas Robbins, was baptised at Dartmouth on 12 June 1648. In 1647 Henry Robbins was assessed for subsidy in the parish of Townstall, Dartmouth St Clement, in 1674 he paid tax for three hearths in the same parish, and in January 1677/78 he was defendant in a lawsuit heard at Dartmouth. In 1659 Allaleigh Wood (45 acres) and parts of the manor of Cornworthy Priory came into the market and were leased to a Totnes man and his partner, while on 15 November of the same year John Parrett sold Gitcombe, an estate adjoining Allaleigh in the parish of Cornworthy. Around this time Henry Robbins and his wife Elizabeth purchased Allaleigh Wood and kept it until 4 September 1679, when they sold it for ¹300 to James Andrews, mariner, of Dartmouth. On 12 March 1684 James Andrews sold a tenement, etc, "late of Henry Robbins of Cornworthy." Henry and Elizabeth Robbins were almost certainly grandparents of Mary Peeke.

    Of the other members of the Robbins family both Edward, senior, and Richard remained at Ashprington, Edward being buried there on 15 May 1648. Edward Robbins, junior, was assessed in 1674 for tax on three hearths at Ashprington and two hearths at Cornworthy. One of his daughters, Elizabeth, was born at Ashprington on 8 October 1656. As for John Robbins, he is to be found assessed for tax on two hearths in the parish of Dartmouth St Petrox in 1674, while the baptismal register of that church records the birth on 16 January 1656/57 of a daughter Mary to John Robbins and his wife Lucrece and the baptism on 6 May 1669 of another daughter, Katharine.

    Mary Peeke nâee Robbins is likely to have been born between 1656 and 1658. Her husband John was born 1 November 1657, but she could have been slightly older. She could therefore have been the Mary Robbins mentioned above who was born at Dartmouth in January 1656/57, or she could have been a daughter of Edward Robbins, junior, who, as shown above, had a property in Cornworthy at the time of Mary's marriage. On the other hand Edward Robbins had a daughter Elizabeth born at Ashprington on 8 October 1656, and there is no evidence that he had a daughter Mary born either before or after that date. Because of Henry and John Robbins' connections first with Dartmouth and later on with Cornworthy it would seem that Mary Peeke is more likely to have been the daughter of John and Lucrece Robbins born 16 January 1656/57.

    Mary Peeke was buried at Cornworthy 24 August 1690

  1. 8.  Peeke, Richard was born in 1618 (son of Peke, Richard and Tucker, Jane); died in 1686/87; was buried on 6 Feb 1686/87 in Devon, Halwell.

    Other Events:

    • Residence: Abbotsleigh, Devon
    • Baptism: Mar 1618, Devon, Halwell

    Notes:

    Baptised March 1618 at Halwell. Married first to Christian, who bore him one son, Richard, and three daughters before dying between 1647 and late 1649. Nothing is known of Christian or of Richard Peke's second wife Anne, whom he must have married in 1648 or 1649. It was Richard and Anne Peeke's younger son John (born 1657) who was great-grandfather of John Peek of Hazelwood. Richard Peeke, who is described as "of Abbotsleigh" in the Blackawton registers, was Constable of Halwell in 1647 and almost certainly churchwarden there in 1635. He signed the Protestation Roll at Blackawton in 1641/42.

    Richard married Anne between 1648 and 1649. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
