My father, George Woodfull Stevens, was the son of Cecily Woodfull Pescott. The Pescotts are descended from Joseph Pescod (the name derives from pease cod = pea pod, perhaps because the first Pescod was a pea farmer), born around 1760.
George spent many years tracing his mother’s ancestors, and eventually met Wal Wall, another Pescott descendant, who had amassed a large amount of information on the Pescotts, summarised in the linked Pescott Papers. The following link leads to masses of information, photographs and family trees compiled by George, Wal, Wal’s sister Winsome and her daughter Fay, and other Pescotts. I am grateful to those people for allowing me to share this information so others don’t have to repeat the hard slog.
