~MY ANCESTOR~
JOSEPH PECK was believed to have immigrated on the ship, HECTOR, with his brothers, WILLIAM PECK (also my ancestor), and Henry arriving in 1636. Their parents are unknown.
Joseph & William are found in New Haven records and it appears that Joseph went on to Milford while William stayed in New Haven.
Joseph was an "after planter" which means that he came to Milford after the first division of land. He married ALICE (HEATH) BURWELL, widow of John Burwell, on Sept. 12, 1650 in Milford. They were parents of my ancestor, LIEUT. JOSEPH PECK, whose grave is in the Milford Cemetery.
After his wife Alice's death in 1666, Joseph Peck married Mary Richards in 1669 and "they lived in Milford, Ct." Mary was one of five children born to Thomas Richards and Priscilla Wakeman Richards, founders of Hartford.
