William Peak and his wife Margaret settled in 1793 in Pickering Township at the mouth of Duffins Creek in Lake Ontario, known as Simcoe Point. The Simcoe Point Pioneer Cemetery, the family's small burial ground, still stands on the site today. Many descendants of William Peak, the community's first white settler, are buried here. The earliest documented burial dates to 1836. The site is marked by a memorial plaque and three maple trees.
