Hi Trina, I hope you can help me. I am a descendent of Silas Hart Peace. All of the older adults in my family have copies of the Silas Peace book, and I would really like to have one for myself. Do you know where I could possibly obtain one? I know that it was published over 30 years ago, but is there any site online that would have out-of-print genealogy books? Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

I come through Silas Hart Peace/Alfred Melissa Peace/Frank Poindexter Peace/Charles Poindexter Peace. I would love to have any information you can provide on the family before and after Silas. Thank you for your help.

I am trying to find my PEACE roots. My great-grandfather, Alfred Peace, was born in 1830 in Tenn. I think there is a good possibility that he is a son of Joseph Peace assumed father of Silas Peace. I need a male PEACE from the Silas line to participate in DNA testing. A match would prove my ancestry as well as validating Silas's father. Can you help? Thanks for your consideration. James Peace

Book lookup request--Descendants of Silas Peace
Trina, I read your post of 21 Apr 2000. Are you still willing to do lookups? Specifically, I would like to have the names and birthdates of all of Silas' children. And the source where the author got his info. (Family Bible, will, etc?) Thanks so much for your help.

I have an Alfred Peace born about 1845. He was my great-grandfather's older brother. Their father was James Harvey Peace,born 26 November 1815, his father was Silas Hart Peace. Silas's father was Joseph Peace, born 1755 in Sheffield,Yorkshire,England.

Hi. Saw your old post and wondered if you could share the name/title of the book that you referenced (According to the book I have, Silas Hart Peace immigrated...), and let me know where a copy might be obtained, if still available.
Thank you.

Dear Cousin, I found a birth record for a Joseph, son of Edward Peace of Wath, 12 Aug 1744, Yorkshire, England. I found a marriage record for Joseph Peace and Elizabeth Hart for 27 Aug 1764. I am pretty sure that these are Silas's parents. That is from Vol 6, Yorkshire-Rotherham registers of marriage. I cannot establish beyond doubt that the first entry is our Joseph Peace, but Edward Peace married Elizabeth England on 25 Feb 1738. Yours truly, Mike Peace

That is wonderful information to have. Thank you for sharing. It is the best reference so far found. It has been a while since we "talked" - have you done dna? I have my uncle's results from Ancestry.com. Best regards, Susan Page
