Hi Jim,

Well, if you're in the mood for a bit of scandal, I have a theory...

I found your grandmother Pearl Peck in the 1920 census:

Shandaken, Ulster Co., NY - District 203, page 4A
James Peck, age 53, head
Jeannett, age 49, wife
Margret, age 23, dau.
Pearl, age 18, dau.
James, age 15, son
Jeanett, age 14, dau.
Arvilla, age 7, dau.
(all of the above born NY, NY, NY)

On just the previous page of the census, presumably living in the same neighborhood, I found this family:

Isaac B Trowbridge, age 21, head
Beula, age 19, wife
Josiah, age 67, father
Minnie, age 56, mother

In the 1930 census, Isaac B Trowbridge has a new wife, Helen. So apparently something happened during the previous decade that wrecked his first marriage to Beula.

Perhaps this is all just idle speculation and coincidence, but I'll leave that up to you. :^)

Cheers,
Geoff
