Family
The oldest known Peverell family members were Ignotus (b. 1214), Antioch and Cadmus Peverell. They came across a river that was too swift to swim through so they used their magic to create a bridge. Death felt cheated because people normally died in the river so he pretened to congratulate the brothers and offered them each a gift. Antioch asked for a wand more powerful than all the others so Death made one out of an Elder tree and Thestral tail hair. Antioch was killed for the wand which he boasted about.

Cadmus Peverell asked to be able to bring people back from the dead. Death gave him a rock from the river which would bring people back to life. Cadmus used the rock to bring back his dead lover but she was sad and cold. Eventually, Cadmus hanged himself to be with his lover. Although, he did produce an heir as the Gaunt Family is descended from him.

Ignotus Peverell was very wise and asked for a way to leave Death and not be followed so Death gave Ignotus his own invisibility cloak. Ignotus hid for many years without Death finding him. When Ignotus was old, he gave his cloak to his son and greeted Death as an old friend. Ignotus is the ancestor of the Potter Family.
