William Peck (1575 - 1604)

William Peck was born in 1575 in Knoston, Colchester, England and died in 1604 in England. There is another William Peck from London, born in 1588, that some link to William Peck (1604-1694) but the evidence is not as strong as this William Peck. He is recorded as having three sons:

1. Henry, born in England before 1604 and came to New Haven with his brother William and signed 1639 New Haven Covenant. He died in 1651. Henry married Joan. They had four children, all born in New Haven: Eleazer (1643*-), Joseph (1647-1720*), Benjamin (1647-1730), Elizabeth (1649-before 1732). After Henry died, Joan married Andrew Low.

2. William, born about 1604 in London. He came to New Haven with his brother Henry and signed 1639 New Haven Covenant. He married Elizabeth. William died in 1694. William and Elizabeth had four children: Jeremiah (1623-1699), John (1640-1694), Joseph (1641-1718), Elizabeth (1643-1683). (see above)

3. Joseph, born in England before 1604 and came to Milford, CT. He married Alice (-1666), the widow of John Burwell on Sept. 12, 1650 in Milford. They were admitted to the Milford church in May 1652. Joseph and Mary had three children, all born in Milford: Elizabeth (1651-), Joseph (1652-1731), John (1654-) After Alice died, he married Mary Richards who was admitted to the Milford church on Dec. 29, 1669. They had three children, the first two born in Milford and the last in Lyme: Mary (1670-), Anna (1672-), Hannah (11674-1711).
