Project Background
The origins of these surnames are of interest because they are often strong geographic associations, e.g in the 1800s: PEAVEY is much rarer in England than in the USA, PAVELY/PAVELEY is strongly associated with Essex/Herts (England), PEVERLEY/PEVERLY & PEVERELL is associated with Durham & Northumberland areas. There is evidence for name changes from PEVEREL to PEVERLY to PEAVEY etc. Many PEAVEYs in the USA claim descent from a Sir John PEVERLY/PEVEREL who was an early immigrant who died in 1631 in New England.
A second interest in these surnames is the frequent claims of descents from wealthy PEVERELL ancestors, with Royal connections, going back to the 11th Century and even possibly being descendants of William the Conquerer.
