• Notes

  Peck, Ira B. (Ira Ballou). A Genealogical History of the Descendants of Joseph Peck, who Emigrated with His Family to This country in 1638: and Records of his Father's and Grandfather's Families in England, with the Pedigree Extending back from Son to Father for Twenty Generations, with their Coat of Arms, and Copies of Wills, and also an Appendix ... (Boston, Mass.: Alfred Mudge & Son, 1868), 13. —— Joseph was the brother of Rev. Robert Peck. He was the s/o Robert and Helen (Babbs) Peck and was born 22 Apr 1587 at Beccles, Suffolk ENG. The Mrs. Peck listed in Banks' passenger list is his 2nd wife Deliverance ___. Although no children are included on this list, he emigrated with three sons, one daughter and five servants (The Pioneers of MA by Charles Henry Pope, 1981, p. 351). The children were probably all by his first wife Rebecca Clark who died 21 Oct 1637 in Hingham ENG. She was the sister of Edward Gilman's (below) wife Mary Clark. Joseph was the Town Clerk of Hingham (MA) until 1645 when he removed to Rehoboth MA where he died 22 Dec 1663.    As the family left Hingham in 1645 there is not a lot of detail about them in the History of Hingham. These children are listed in that book for Joseph Peck (though not which child was by which wife, and the author, George Lincoln, notes that a genealogy of the Peck family lists some different and/or additional sons): 1. Simon - b. in England. He married first to Hannah Farnsworth, dau of Joseph and Elizabeth Farnsworth of Dorchester MA. She was born 14 Dec 1638 in Dorchester; d. 16 Apr 1659 in Hingham. Simon married second to Prudence Clapp, dau. of Edward and Purdence Clapp of Dorchester, on 13 Feb 1659/60. She was born 28 Dec 1637 in Dorchester. The family moved to Dorchester after 1671. Simon and Hannah had one son (who died young), and Simon and Prudence had eight children. 2. Samuel - bt. in Hingham 3 Feb 1638/39; d. soon. 3. Nathaniel - bt. in Hingham 31 Oct 1641. Resided at Rehoboth. The chris. name of his wife was Deliverance. She died in 1675, and Nathaniel in 1676. 4. Israel - bt. in Hingham 31 Mar 16444; died soon. 5. Samuel - bt. in Hingham 19 Jul 1646 6. Israel - bt. in Hingham 19 Jul 1646 7. Hannah - bt. in Hingham 19 Jul 1646 http://homepages.rootsweb..com/~ski/scott/diligent.html
