Notes for James PEEK Jr.
Confederate veteran--fought in 8th Tennessee Cavalry. Pension application 12755, filed in White Co. (Index to Tennessee Confederate Pension Applications, p. 120. Mesa FHC) Enlisted 9/15/62 in Overton Co. Horse $120. Pension ap filed 5/1/1911 from White Co. Wounded near Nashville. Paroled near Washington, GA on 5/9/65. [ [132]]
Moved younger kids in a wagon from TN to Valley Springs, AR so they could go to Valley Springs Academy. Returned to TN after the kids were all married off.[ [18]]
His pension information says he was unmarried when he was released, though he had two children by then. A profile written by his great-grandson says he married Tennessee in 1860, and left her pregnant with their second child when he left for war. The reason for leaving (the state of) Tennessee for Arkansas is said to be his dissatisfaction with the state after Reconstruction.
It is possible that he is not the legitimate son of James, but rather the son of his mistress Susannah Greenwood. In 1850, there is an 11 year old James in both households. But there is no infant son in James’ 1840 census record. Susannah’s 1840 record has not been found. James’ brother Martin’s son Joseph is said to have said that he hand a 1/2 Uncle James - not an Uncle James.
