They moved along with their parents and siblings to Iowa sometime between October 14, 1850 and 1856. Thomas Samuel and his younger brother William Matlock Peck traveled to Colorado in 1859-1860 searching for gold. Thomas Samuel Peck was the discoverer of the California lode near Central City, Colorado which rights he had sold by 1866 for $36,000. Sometime between 1860 and 1865 he traveled back to Iowa and brought his wife Susan and their two daughters, Lucinda Josephine and Clara Cassandra back with him to Colorado. They had settled in Boulder County, Colorado by 1866. They lived in a small cabin to begin with and Thomas eventually built a two story home where the family lived and he eventually died in 1898. He was the first generation of our family to farm in Boulder County. There have been five generations since Thomas, who have farmed continually (1866-2007)in Boulder County. |
