Explanation

Marvolo Gaunt was Voldemort's maternal grandfather. Voldemort's mother was Merope Gaunt, daughter of Marvolo Gaunt. The Peverells were distant ancestors of the Gaunt family (through the Cadmus Peverell line), but Marvolo himself was not referred to as a 'Descendant of Peverells' - he was a Gaunt. Voldemort's father was Tom Riddle Sr., a Muggle.
