Welcome to the web site of the descendants of John Peek of Hazelwood in the county of Devon

This site is mainly about the families descended from John Peek of Hazelwood (Halsenwood) (1753-1847). The branch of the Peek family to which he belonged had, however, been established in one small area of Devon since earliest recorded times, and the connection remains to this day. The area in question comprises the district of South Hams and the hundreds and divisions of Coleridge, Stanborough and Ermington; from Blackawton and its neighbouring parishes of Halwell and Cornworthy during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries (and probably earlier), then to Modbury for the greater part of the eighteenth century and finally, in the 1770s, to Loddiswell and Kingsbridge. Members of the family owned the Hazelwood estate at Loddiswell for over one hundred and fifty years .
