Notes:
Elder son of John and Mary Peek of Modbury. In the pedigree attested before Lancaster Herald when he was granted Arms in 1832, however, John Peek gave the year of his birth and baptism as 1752. The confusion must surely have arisen as a result of the change from the Julian (Old Style) Calendar to the Gregorian (New Style) Calendar in September 1752. Before that date each year began on 25 March (Lady Day), the period between the previous 1 January and 25 March being reckoned as a compromise between the old and the new years and recorded as such (e.g. 25 January 1624/25, 7 February 1746/47). As John Peek was born after September 1752 his baptism is quite properly recorded in the Modbury parish register as 9 March 1753 (New Style), and his date of birth was equally 25 February 1753. If the Julian Calendar had still been in use his year of birth and baptism would have been recorded as 1752/53, as 1753 would not have begun until 25 March. As this was the first year which began on 1 January no doubt John Peek's parents continued to reckon under the Old Style and informed their son accordingly.
John Peek was married to Susannah Ann Foxworthy at Loddiswell, Devon, 11/5/1779, when he was living at West Alvington, near Kingsbridge. Soon afterwards, however, he moved to Loddiswell, his wife's native parish, and their first four children were all born there. When John Peek first took up residence at Halsenwood Villa, Loddiswell, is not certain, but his second son Richard is stated to have been born at the Villa on 3/10/1782. John Peek's four youngest children were all born at Dodbrook, Kingsbridge, and his wife died there in August 1802.
John Peek, Esq., of Halsenwood Villa, Loddiswell, was granted Arms and a crest by the College of Arms on 28 June 1832. His portrait is hung in the dining room at Castle Drogo, Devon, the seat of the Drewe family, which was built by one of his great-grandsons, Julius Charles Drewe. There is a similar portrait at Hazelwood.
John married Foxworthy, Susannah Ann on 11 May 1779 in Devon, Loddiswell. Susannah (daughter of Foxworthy, John and Hyne, Agnes) died on 1 Aug 1802 in Devon, Kingsbridge, Dodbrook; was buried in Kingsbridge, Independent Chapel. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
