This family is related to the LOWE/BARKER line. Peabody is a Mayflower line and married into ALDEN of John Alden whose daughter Elizabeth ALDEN married William PEABODY/PABODIE, 6th GGrand Uncle of Fannie PEABODY who married John Edwin BARKER. But the history of this line has been easy to trace and wonderfully full of stories.
The new discovery was finding ancestral photos in the UC Libraries: California Digital Library of Henry Adams PEABODY and his wife Sallie Ann BRADY in there that I had never seen. (Fannie Peabodies parents) I am lucky enough to have some copies of photos of them through Judy Barker and Tom Lowe.
Here is what I found:
Henry Adams Peabody
Sallie Ann (Brady) Peabody.
The following picture is of their daughter Fannie Peabody Barker that I have a copy of:
Here is her husband John Edwin Barker:
Their daughter (my grandmother) Josephine Barker Lowe:
.These were the only photos I had seen of Henry & Sallie (I have copies) which are much older:
.There were other land and house photographs donated to this library under the search of 'Peabody' but not much information to go with it-but if you are curious follow this link. And if you discover more please let me know.

These pictures are wonderful to find! My great-grandmother is the daughter of Clifford Wheeler Powell and Sallie Ann Peabody(who is the daughter of Henry Adams Peabody and Sallie Ann Bradley), so technically I think that makes us related!
My mother's name was Virginia Wheeler Powell - my grandmother was Sallie Ann Peabody. She lived in Santa Ana California. There is a freeway where her house used to be. Sallie Ann would have passed away somewhere around 1942. Her husband (my grandfather) must have passed away earlier because I never met him. Had no idea why my mother's middle name was Wheeler.
Virginia had a brother but I never met him. My understanding was that his name was Henry. He was a math teacher but had epilepsy. I believe he died in an asylum.
