Epsy Adeline Peeples



Epsy Adeline Peeples was born November 11, 1847 in Choctaw County, Mississippi. Her parents were Jesse Ruben Peoples b: 1801 and Elizabeth Pickney b: 25 JUL 1804 d: 10 OCT 1883. Her line can be traced to Capt. David Edward Peebles.

Captain David Edward Peebles of Fife County, Scotland was a royalist who escaped execution from Cromwell and arrived in Virginia around 1649 during the Cromwell Rebellion. He is one of the earliest settlers to the Colonies. Read more about Peebles and his plantaton.

Married to Joseph Harvey Woods on January 02, 1866 at the age of 25, their union produced 6 children.

Their third daughter was my great grandmother, Mary Appolina Woods (or Appie for short) who married Daniel Henry Campbell.

When their baby, Ella Lee, wasn't quite three years old, Joe died at the young age of 43. Epsy raised the children alone as a single mother, for she never remarried.

Epsie lived for 86 years. She died on May 15, 1935 in Webster County, Mississippi and you can find her grave at the New Greensboro Cemetery.
