NATHANIEL PECK, b. July 26, 1670; d. Aug. 5, 1751; m. (1) at Swansea, Mar 18, 1696, Christian Allen, who died in Swansea, June 8, 1702; m. (2) May 18, 1705, Judith Smith of Rehoboth, who died Nov. 10, 1743. By his first wife Nathaniel had three children, Ebenezer, b. Apr. 24, 1697; Nathaniel 3rd, b. July 10, 1699, m. Alice Fish; and Thomas, b. Oct. 4, 1700, m. his second cousin, Deliverance May, dau. of Ephraim and Deliverance (Peck) May, the latter a dau. of Israel and Bethia (Bosworth) Peck. By second wife had Daniel, David, Abigail, Bathsheba, Solomon and two Johns who died in infancy.
NOTE: These names of children of the second wife are taken from the Peck Genealogy, by Ira B. Peck, but it appears there was a daughter Bethiah who was left out, for on the records of the Barrington church kept by Rev. Peleg Heath there is the following: “Bethiah Peck, daughter of Nathaniel Peck admitted to full communion with the church, May 5, 1738;” also “Bathsheba Peck, daughter of Deacon Nathaniel Peck, admitted June 30, 1738”; and “Nathaniel Peck 3rd and Alice his wife, of Rehoboth, July 6, 1740.” Nathaniel was a deacon of the Barrington church, and it seems probable that Bathsheba and Bethiah were both his daughters. Bethia was probably the youngest child of the second wife, b, about 1717 or 18, for she is evidently the one who m. the Rev. Peleg Heath as his second wife, Aug. 26, 1740, dying in two months, Oct. 28, 1740, “in 23d y.” (Barrington Rec.)
