Peter was a farmer in Minshul Vernon. All the Eachus families found in the world, can be traced back to Peter and his marriage to Margaret Pownall. Although to date, his baptism has not been found, he is believed to be the son of Thomas Eachus (born abt 1532) [#5938], and the brother of Thomas's son John Eachus baptised 1566 at Church Minshull.
Thomas may have been the son of John Eachus (ships Captain) born abt 1500 in Cheshire, England and who sailed out of Red Bank, Chester.
