He was elected Deputy to the Court at Plymouth, in 1669. He was also elected Deputy for each successive year, from 1677 to 1690, ex cept in the years 1687 and 1688, when the town elected no deputies. From 1677 to 1684, he is called Ensign Nicholas Peck; after that, Lieutenant, and then Captain.

      (II) Nicholas Peck, third son of Joseph and Rebecca (Clark) Peck, was baptized April 9, 1630, in England, and was about eight years of age when he came with his parents to this country. He settled at Seekonk, now a part of Rhode Island, in the district known as Seekonk Plain, in 1645. His home was in the southeastern part of the town, and he was active in public affairs, serving as rater (assessor) and selectman, and elected deputy in 1669. With the exception of the years 1687-88, when the town did not elect any deputies, he continued to serve in that capacity from 1677 to 1690. He was an officer of militia, serving as ensign from 1677 to 1684, was subsequently lieutenant, and later captain, and died May 27, 1710. He married (first) Mary Winchester, eldest daughter of Alexander Winchester, of Plymouth colony, died November 6, 1657. His second wife, Rebecca, died November 2, 1704.
