"Frederick S. Peck -- -- On May 22, 1639, the Great and General Court of
Massachusetts Bay Colony met at Boston, electing John Winthrop governor,and
other Colonial officers. The name of Mr. Joseph Peck, of Hingham, standsat
the head of the list of deputies, twenty-eight in number, who met to make
Puritan laws for a Puritan Colony. In that historic assembly oflegislators
were John Endicott, Richard Bellingham, Simon Bradstreet, IsrealStoughton,
and Richard Saltonstall, while Humphrey Atherton, noted in Rhode Island
history, Robert Keayne, Thomas Mayhew, Simon Willard, Edward Rawson,William
Hawthorne, and others, were of the legislative group that were destined to
win high honors in civil life in the Bay Colony. On May 13, 1640, theGreat
Court met at Boston and again the name of Mr. Joseph Peck leads the
deputies, now thirty-one in number. Of this number, twenty-three bear the
title 'Mr.' , four are captians, one lieutenant, one ensign, and two carry
no title. In 1641 the General Court of Elections met at Boston, on January
2, and Mr. Joseph Peck is still a deputy from Hingham, with distinguished
associates, over whom Richard Bellingham was chosen as governor. Amongthem
are William Carpenter, Henry Smith, William Cheesbrough, Alexander
Winchester, Stephen Paine, and others, who, in 1641, through the agency of
Captain Myles Standish and Mr. John Browne, purchased a township of land,
eight miles square, of Massossoit, and later called Rehoboth.
Mr. Joseph Peck, who, with his brother, Rev. Robert Peck, Jr., were the
founders of the Peck family in America, was the son of Robert Peck, a
resident of Suffolk county, England. The son Joseph was baptized inBeccles,
Suffolk county, April 30, 1587. Robert Peck, Jr., received his Master's
degree at Cambridge University in 1602; was a Puritan minister in Hingham,
England, and with his brother Joseph, came to New England in 1638,settling
at Hingham, in the Bay Colony, where English settlers of Norfolk countyhad
founded a new Hingham on the Bay coast. Robert and Joseph took thefreeman's
oath, March 13, 1638-39, and Robert was ordained teacher of the church at
Hingham, Mass., 1639. On October 27, 1641, Robert, his wife and son,Joseph,
embarked from Boston from his native land, having been invited, saysCotton
Mather, to renew his pastoral office over the Puritan Church in Hingham,
England, 'where he is greatly serviceable for the good of the Church'. He
died in 1656, in the midst of a loved and beloved people.
Concerning Mr. Joseph Peck and his family, Mr. David Cushing, town clerkof
Hingham, Mass., has this record: 'Mr. Joseph Peck and his wife and three
sons and daughter, and two men servants, and three maid servants, camefrom
old Hingham and settled at New Hingham."
