HISTORY/GENEALOGY
The First Peelle Family In America, with a short title of "Peele Chronicles" was expressly prepared for the interrelated
Peal/Peel/Peele/Peelle families, descendents of Lawrence Peelle. It documents a small portion of the rich ancestral lineage 
of this English family from the 1620 arrival of the first ancestor, while tracking the family movements from Virginia, into 
North Carolina, and beyond. It concentrates upon the history of the earlier families and their hardships.

The book contains detailed analysis of family genealogy, old letters, extracts of deeds, full text wills, and many stories 
on personalities. Dr. William K. "Bill" Quick, B.A., M. Div, and D.D., Duke University Visiting Professor, stated upon review 
of the book "What a marvelous contribution you have made... in this 'OPUS MAGNUM'. Copies should go to the University of North 
Carolina and to Duke... Your Historical and Genealogy gifts are noteworthy...."

Horace Peele was born in North Carolina and received his Bachelor's Degree from Texas State. He served in the United States Air
Force and the Army Reserves. His primary job was that of a civil servant working with United States intelligence organizations.
While in the Air Force in England, he married Patricia Ann Harritt, whose Swiss-born mother was a Scheuber and a descendent of St.
Niklaus von Flûe of Switzerland. He became interested in genealogy as a hobby and began researching his wife's and his family trees.

This book was completed with the help of other family members and contributors of information. Hopefully, it will remain as intended 
-- a research tool for history-genealogy libraries and for future generations to use for their Peal/Peel/Peele/Peelle research.
