- Name: John Richard Peverill
- Birth: 1833
- Death:
- Father: Joseph Peverill
- Mother: Elizabeth ?
Notes:
- Married: 22-SEP-1891
- Name: Alice Jeannette Handspiker
- Birth: 17-MAR-1860 OR 1862
- Death: 3-APR-1944 in: Digby, Nova Scotia, Canada
- Father: Henry Gilliland (S?) Handspiker
- Mother: Rachel Stark
Notes: Alice has two birth years, depending on source. She's either born 17-Mar-1860, or, 16-Mar-1857. Though, in yet another source, the 17-Mar-1860 date is referenced as Charles' and her marriage date. That COULD be possible (1860, anyway), but woul d surely negate an 1857 birth date!! Also, Alice is suspected of being the mother of Watson Chipman Handspiker. She has also been seen listed as "Jean" in informal documents. In 1911 Census, Alice's date of birth jumps once again, this tim e to Mar-1862. She was listed as a widow in 1911, with one son, Ernest, having been born in May of that year. Since Charles died in 1906, to what Handspiker were Lyman and Ernest born? OR, were they given their surname from their mother's maide n name, not a married name? I will list these two children with father as "Mr. UNKNOWN" until something further is uncovered.
