Selected Families and Individuals

Notes


Patrick Sharkey

F.B. Kegley: Virginia Frontier (Roanoke, Va., 1938) pg. 442. "On the upper reaches of the main James River and near the confluence of the Cow pasture and the Jackson's Rivers which formed the James, there were some excellent bottom lands. As early as 1753, Patrick Sharkey and his wife were in this vicinity, living on the Bhurman Bottom where he erected a mill. He had purchased his farm from the James Patton estate - the grant to it had been made, Nov. 3, 1750. Just above the Sharkey homestead was the fertile section known as Locust Bottom. On Aug. 6, 1782, Sharkey and his wife Ann sold 220 acres of this tract to their son Nicholas and the remaining 334 acres were sold to their son James."


Ann Looney

RESEARCHER: Susan Moore Teller sent the following to T.Mason on 13 Oct 2014.
REFERENCE: Author Grace Fassnacht in Campbell Kith and Ken. "Peck family history tradition - Ann Looney, was the wife of Patrick Sharkey. Their daughter Elizabeth Sharkey married Adam Peck, and they lived in Fincastle, Botetourt County, Virginia. Neighbors to the Peck family were the Looney,  Luna/Luny,  family; Looney's Mill is nearby. Like Patrick Sharkey, they were Presbyterian and probably came to America from the Isle of Mann. Moses Looney served with Adam Peck in the American Revolution.
  A granddaughter, Jane Peck Campbell, wrote a book early on. She clearly stated Ann Looney was the wife of Patrick Sharkey, who also owned nearby land. Her descendant, Grace Spencer Fassnacht, was one of the several folks who wrote a book based on early Peck Family History, recording her ancestors family history and terming it "tradition." Adam Peck and his wife Elizabeth Sharkey named a son Moses Looney Peck who ran the mill with our ancestor Adam Peck Jr. and his wife, Elizabeth Gayle, daughter of Christopher Gayle, and widow of Adam's brother Patrick."

Johann Jakob Beck

Father of Johann Jacob Peck RIN 1076 GG-Uncle of T.Mason

REF: George Braden Roberts, GENEALOGY OF JOSEPH PECK & SOME RELATED FAMILIES; ; State College, PA. 1955; ; Family History Library Book 929.273 P334r, Fiche 6049146; NOTES: Johann lived in Ebingen and was Burger of that town.

The family name in Germany was Beck. The Americans changed the B to P and they have ever since been called Peck. (Beck was pronounced Peck in German). The Pecks were tall, strong, industrious folk. Most of the men were six feet tall and many of them were taller. The earliest knowledge we have of this family comes from the Church Records of Ebingen, a small town in Wurttemberg, Germany, where they lived through many generations. Ebingen is a town in the large district of Albstadt, district Zollernalbkreis, in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. It is located on the river Schmiecha, a left-hand tributary of the Danube, south of Tübingen and west of Ulm. Ebingen received city rights around 1250 from the Hohenberg ducal family. In 1367 it became a part of the kingdom of Württemberg. In 1911, it was known for manufacturing velvet and cotton-velvet (Manchester) goods, stockings, stays, hats, needles, tools and tanneries. In 1975 Ebingen joined 8 other towns in the area to form the city of Albstadt.

Ebingen is located about 50 miles north of the northern boundary of Switzerland and about 50 miles east of the eastern boundary of France, nestled down between the mountains of the northern escarpment of the Alps. It is separated from the Rhine River by a low divide. Ebingen had a population of about 500 in the year 1600. It has an elevation of 2330 feet above the sea level and is maintained principally by agriculture.
