Have not worked on the Peoples families for awhile. If anyone sees
Evelyn Flood
This research is for PEOPLES descendants and those who are really
descendants as I know them.
Information is from my family group sheets:
Still have lots of questions.
The name was originally spelled PEEBLES and some family members use
both spellings.
Understand the name originated in PeeblesShire, Scotland.
Birth place according to his Civil War Pension records.
Seems odd he would be born in Georgia and others of his family were
born in North Carolina. And the fact that he was in McNairy County,
Tennessee in 1830.
Spelled Peoppeals in the Arkansas Union Soldiers Index.
He stated he was 42 years when he enlisted in 1863, but he was older
...about 60.
of other PEOPLES\PEEBLES\PEEPLES researchers.
Just don't know enough about the earlier families to state who the
son of who was. My records are mostly from reading census,marriage,
Civil War Pensions, and cemetery records for the areas I am
researching in.
on my "Kinfolks Stories" webpage.
Tennessee, probably Henry County.
I believe Sarah was Indian and cannot find record of marriage.
Civil War records state Smith was born in 1803 in GEORGIA.
I do not believe he was the son of Wyatt Peebles
If this were true, why didn't he name some of his children after
The Wyatt Peebles families??
His father was reported to be WYATT PEEBLES NO. 2, born 1780 in
Brunswick County, Virginia. This Wyatt died in 1859 in Guilford
County, North Carolina and was the son of JEHU PEEBLES, JR.
SMITH PEOPLES died ca 1893 in Searcy County, Arkansas, Bear Creek
township.
Wife Sarah (maiden name unknown) was born in 1803 in North Carolina.
She died ca 1890 in Searcy County, Arkansas.
There were no marriage names and dates. He abandoned his claim.
He probably died before claim progressed and no one followed through
with the claim.
Union Army.
He applied for Invalid pension No.750832 in 1890 but abandoned the
claim for unknown reason. Claimed he contracted Scurvy from eating
pickled meat while in the Service during the Civil War. His lawyers
were still inquiring about his pension up to 1893.
His occupation was given as Chair Maker and Wheelwright

places since he left the Service:
Johnson County, Arkansas (on 1850 census, Spadra Township,Visit #101).
Marion County, Arkansas (on 1860 census, Prarie Township visit # 214)
Vanburen, Crawford County, Ark. 1865 to 1866
Newton County,Arkansas....Mt. Judea, June 1866 to September 1869
Searcy County,Arkansas from 1869 to 1878.
I found him in 1870 on Newton County,Arkansas census, White Township
Visit No.60
He was in Newton County, Arkansas at Red Rock from 1878 to 1879
I found him in Searcy County, Arkansas 1880, Bear Creek Township,
Visit No.357
In Marshall, Searcy County,Arkansas from 1879 to 1890 or time of death.
He apparently died ca 1893 in Searcy County, Arkansas as that was
the last date any activity occurred in his pension file.
Sarah was probably Choctaw Indian. There is no marriage record found.
When Indian women were married to White men, they are usually
listed on the census records as White.
Then, too, Rutha Mariah Peoples , daughter of John Peoples, was
called "Choctaw" and so I base the Choctaw blood by this.
Check the Choctaw Rolls for further information.
