NOTE: Although the name of the above daughter is not given in the Swansea records where those of the two sons are found, nor is it given in the Peck Genealogy, I am quite convinced that her name was Bathsheba, named from her Bosworth aunt. The fact that her brother Nathaniel named a daughter Bathsheba, and she being his only sister, would make it appear that way. The Peck Gen. says: “she probably died young … as I find no mention of her name in the division of her father’s estate.” True, her name is not mentioned, but it says distinctly, “two children a son and daughter.” (See Part I p. 70 and top of p. 73.) There was a Bathsheba Peck, not mentioned in the Peck Gen. who married in Rehoboth, Oct. 14, 1691, John Smith, son of Henry and Elizabeth (Cooper) Smith, b. Aug. 6, 1661; d. Apr. 13, 1718; and had the following children: 1-Deliverance, b. June 22, 1693; d. Mar. 31, 1712; 2-Nathaniel, b. Sept. 5, 1695; 3-Bathsheba, b. May 2, 1698, d. Feb. 19, 1711-12; 4-John, b. Apr. 20, 1701, d. Feb. 26, 1711-12; 5-Jonathan, b. May 18, 1703, d. Mar. 27, 1727; the mother died May 28, 1703, ten days after the birth of Jonathan. Now presumably these children were named: Deliverance for Bathsheba (Peck) Smith’s mother; Nathaniel for her father; Bathsheba for herself; John for her husband, and Jonathan for her grandfather, or uncle, Jonathan Bosworth, Sr., or Jr. The only one of this family who lived to marry was Nathaniel Smith, and he had one daughter named Bathsheba and another Deliverance. In view of all these circumstances it seems safe to conclude that the daughter of Nathaniel and Deliverance (Bosworth) Peck was named Bathsheba.
