We do not have any history about Alfred James Peacock after he left the 4th Handcart Co on 12 Oct. 1856, near Ft. Laramie in Wyoming until his death on 15 Jan 1891 in Salt Lake City, Utah. His friend, William Edwick who left the 4th Handcart Co with him, died in Salt Lake City two years later (1858). It is probable they both came to Salt Lake City, Utah during the spring/summer of 1857.
There is no history indicating he visited other members of the Peacock Family who lived in Smithfield, Utah. However, starting during 1866-67 his sister, Martha Peacock, lived in Salt Lake City, Utah. It is likely that they had some contact.
Records show Alfred James Peacock's occupation was Saloon Keeper. He appears to have been a member of the Masonic Lodge in Salt Lake City, Utah.
