PEACHEY

PEACHEY. Doubtless the same as the baronial name Peche, latinized in charters De Peccato. That the latter was pronounced as a dissyllable, Peche, is shown by the painted glass in a window at Lullingstoue, CO. Kent, where the arms of Sir John Peche are surrounded by branches of a peach-tree, fvucted, and each peach, to complete the rebus, is inscribed with the letter E — Peach-e. See Stothard's Monumental Effigies. The modern arms of Peachey are evidently derived from those of Peche.
