Samuel's first homestead in North Carolina was on the Maherrin River near the Virginia line. Tax lists from 1721 show him owning 400 acres of land. It is not known how he acquired this land since there are no colonial land grants showing any Peacocks before 1730. On April 17, 1730, Samuel did receive a 320 acre colonial land grant. On July 10 of the same year, he sold part of the grant, amounting to 150 acres, and in 1736 he deeded 100 acres to his son John.
