Alice May Butterworth (Peck)

"During these eventful days, Mrs. Charles Peck, Jr., a sister of my wife then an invalid, came from Ohio with her little daughter Alice to visit us. Her husband was then in Australia. Mrs. Peck died Sept. 23, 1863. Alice, then some seven years old, remained with us and became one of the family. No legal steps were taken, yet she was, is, and will be, one of us. At mature age she married Charles Jakway a son of George Jakway. he died July 7, 1881, leaving a son, Bernard, and a daughter, Isabel. Alice with her children joined our daughter, Jessie, then the wife of Austin Hammond of Ashland, Oregon. Alice married John Butterworth. Jessie died June 27, 1903, at Medford, Oregon, leaving five children, who live now with the several members of the two families in Portland, Oregon."

Due to the relationships described above, Alice's children Bernard and Isabel ( "Bay") were double second cousins with Jessie Hammond's children, i.e. Alice married her maternal cousin Jessie's paternal cousin, who was not Alice's relative by blood.

Alice's father, Charles Manley Peck, remarried and had several children, Alice's half siblings. He may have been in Australia as part of the gold rush when his first wife, Isabella died. He named his daughter by his second marriage Isabel Linton Peck, after his first wife.
