Peverell family

The Peverell brothers, Antioch, Cadmus, and Ignotus, are believed by some to be the subjects of the wizarding legend, "The Tale of the Three Brothers."

Each possessed one of the Deathly Hallows:
 * Antioch: the Elder Wand
 * Cadmus: the Resurrection Stone
 * Ignotus: the Cloak of Invisibility

Hermione located, and showed to Harry, the grave of Ignotus at the graveyard in Godric's Hollow on Christmas Eve, 1997. She recognized the family crest engraved on the headstone as the symbol worn by Xenophilius Lovegood at the wedding of Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour the previous summer. After Ron rejoined them, they visited Xenophilius and questioned him about the symbol, which he said was the emblem of the Deathly Hallows.

Hermione reported in early 1998 that, according to Nature's Nobility: A Wizarding Geneology, the Peverell name was among the first to "become extinct in the male line," meaning that the name had died out among wizarding families. Nevertheless, Marvolo Gaunt claimed Peverell blood through the female line, and had a ring with the Peverell crest. This ring turned out to be set with the Stone of Resurrection, and later became one of Voldemort's horcruxes.
