Welcome to Peake-Stiles

PEAKESTILES CONTAINS OVER 15,000 CONNECTED FAMILY MEMBERS, SPANNING MANY GENERATIONS, CENTURIES AND CONTINENTS.

Preserving and Sharing Our Family History

For generations my family has lived among the hills and hollows of Knob Creek, Kentucky. Discovering how we came to settle this land, and who those pioneering ancestors were, has led to the creation of this site. It is a collection of thousands of individual people, whose past life stories have shaped our present lives. 

Family surnames include Peake, Stiles, Howard, Stark, Greenwell, Howell, Rapier, West, Boone, Cambron, Benningfield, Beam, Thompson, Fried, Short, and hundreds more.
