  • Name Leo Francis Peck 
    Born 23 Mar 1890  Arkansas Find all individuals with events at this location 
    • Leo was 21 in the 1910 Census and he was younger than his brother Jean. In the 1900 census he is shown as 3-1/2 years younger than Jean. However, from the draft registration and social security information for Jean it is pretty clear he was born in Sept of 1888. That means it would have been hard for Leo to have been born six months later in March of 1889. Unless Jean was wrong about his year of birth Leo couldn't have been born in March any earlier than March 1890.

      That would have made Leo 11+ for the 1900 census when he was listed as 12. He would have been 20+ at the time of the 1910 Census.

    Notes 
    • Leo's tombstone has "Capt. Leo Francis Peck" on it. Wondering if he was a riverboat captain and lost his life at an early age because of it.

      1906 City Directory for Helena, Phillips Co., AR:
      Peck, Leo F. pilot, res. 320 Walnut.

      I believe these notes are from Nola Goodwin.

    Census Records
    U.S. Census Helena, Phillips, AR 1880: D.W. Peck Family
    U.S. Census Helena, Phillips, AR 1880: D.W. Peck Family
    The census record show D.W. Peck born in Iowa and parents both born in Iowa, age 42 (b. 1838) recently married to May Peck age 23 who is occupied as a brick mason. They are living on Walnut Street in Helena.

    The 1850 Census indicates that he lived in Iowa then. Maybe that is his basis for saying he was from Iowa.

    I am wondering where their daughter Emma was. (I believe I found her living with her Aunt and Uncle in Pleasant Hill, Mississippi.)

    Daniel was on the lamb. He was actually 48 years old. The record indicates that he had only recently gotten married.

    The family now rents a home at 316 Franklin Street, Helena, AR. He has gotten younger with his birthday now in Nov 1849 and only 50 years old and married to Mary fro 21 years. Now he does not know where his father was born and his mother was born in Virginia.
    Mary has lost a few years and shows her birthday as July 1859 and age 40.
    Emma M, daughter born Jan 1878 is age 22.

    You have to go to the next page of the census for the rest of the information.
