    Martha1 Hale, born in England, about 1622, died at Hartford, Conn., after 7 Mar. 1699/1700; married Deacon Paul Peck. … On 7 Mar. 1699/1700, "Wido Martha Peck" of Hartford brought several suits: one against Paul Peck of Hartford, and another against Samuel Peck of Hartford for refusing to pay rent of land due her by the will of her deceased husband. "Deacon Joseph Easton" in behalf of the plaintiff withdrew these actions, presumably because the matter had been settled out of court. She brought a third action against John Hoskins of Windsor who married the relict of Joseph Peck late of Hartford.
