Family:John Peckham and Eleanor Weaver (1)

This list of children and their year of birth needs further study.

Weaver Genealogy by Lucius Weaver says on p. 62 that Eleanor Weaver married John Peckham and was the mother of 9 of his 12 children, but doesn't specify which ones.

The above comment was entered by another person. Lucius Weaver listed Eleanor Weaver's baptismal name as Elner (page 60). The evidence that John Peckham's second wife was nee Eleanor Weaver is not conclusive. Support for this identification can be derived from the naming of a son of John and Eleanor Peckham as Clement Peckham; second, John Peckham did marry a lady named Eleanor; and third, Clement Weaver Jr. and John Peckham were contemporaries in Newport and Portsmouth, RI. Austin's Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island notes the baptism of John Peckham's wife, Eleanor, in 1648 in the First Baptist Church of Newport. Children born subsequent to this time would not be children of John Peckham's first wife.--Bill Wright 14:53, 9 September 2013 (EDT)
