Book Description
Excerpt from Records of the American Catholic Historical Society of Philadelphia, Vol. 31 Cornelia Augusta Peacock was born in Philadelphia on the fifteenth day of January, 1809. The residence of her father, Ralph Peacock, an import merchant grocer, is given in the city directory of that year, at number one, Filbert Street. This was near the Delaware water front, and at that time a select section of respectable homes, now, and for many years past, the home almost exclusively of wholesale warehouses. Cornelia was. The youngest of six: children, Dodsworth, Ralph, Mary, Adeline and George. The mother, however, whose maiden name was Mary Swope, had been married before to a Mr. Bowen of Bowen Hall in the Island of Jamaica. There was a daughter by this former marriage, Isabella, who later married a Mr. Mont gomery. After the death of the mother, in 1833, Cornelia made her home with this half-sister,2 but at the time of the marriage, 1831, it appears that she lived with another sister, Mrs. Louis Duval3 (adeline).
