Thomas Peacock was born in 1817 in Yorkshire, England. He gave himself to God and joined the Wesleyan Church in the nineteenth year of his age.

In 1839 he received license as an exhorter; in 1845 was recommended to the itinerant work, placed on the list of reserve, and appointed to a circuit the following year. At the close of the year he emigrated to America, and after two or three years in the Methodist Episcopal Church, in the United States, he came and joined the Wesleyan "Church" in Canada.

On the recommendation of the Rev. W. Pollard, the chairman appointed him to Wardsville for the year of which we write.

He was a brother or sincere piety, but not marked by great impressiveness in the pulpit, or uncommon zeal as a pastor.
