L. C. PECK, farmer, P. O. London, was born in the Buckeye State August 12, 1804, and came to this county in 1828. He is the son of George and Mary (Lancisco) Peck, natives of Germany. Our subject was reared on a farm, and received a district school education. He has made farming the occupation of his life, and has passed through the routine of a poor boy, who by industry and perseverance became a well-to-do farmer. He owns a good farm of 213 acres, which is under a high state of cultivation. On December 28, 1829, he married Mary Melvin a daughter of Benjamin and Ruhamia (Crabtree) Melvin, who came to this county in 1800. By this union, six children were born, viz.: Amanda, Henry, John, Jane, Francis and Ann. These children are all married and doing well.
