"The birth of Gideon (doubtless in 1725) missed recording, as the family moved from Wallingford to Southington about that time. The first six children, Hannah, Mehitabel, Eliakim, Benajah, Gideon and Charles, were baptized together in the Southington church, 9 Feb. 1728/9."

"Peck, Gideon, died June 14, 1781, age 67 yrs."

Jacobus seems convinced that Gideon was born c. 1725. The discrepancy presented by the "67" years date of death recorded in the Hale Collection may have been a misreading of "57" years.
