Welcome to the group Albert!! Our line seems to split off at the 2nd Ebenezer. Im from James Madison Peck's brother Martin Horton Peck. :D

I am descended from Joseph Peck (b.1623, England d. 1701, Mass.)  I have a copy of Peck Family 1868 by IRA B Peck.  The list continues with Jathaniel, Ebenezer, Phillip, Ebenezer and James Madison Peck who went to Western Kentucky (the Jackson Purchase) by about 1835.  He married Melinda James.

I am hoping to find relatives from this union.

 

Thanks,

Al Peck, Oklahoma

Yes, they ended-up in Middlebury VT.  There's a lot of documentation in Jared Sydney's book as well the as 1859 'History of Middlebury'.  Their daughter Olive is extensively quoted in the 1859 book and describes fleeing the British and returning to her mother's home-town of Litchfield CT during the Revolutionary War.

Tony: That is a bit of an odd one. I don't see any Torrance's mentioned in the Peck book by Ira Balou Peck (which deals with both the Mass and Peck lines despite it saying it's for descendants of Joseph Peck of Mass).

According to a couple trees on rootsweb it seems that Robert and Lucy died in Vermont.

I am a descendant of the CT Peck's but I'm hoping someone here might be able to help me.  I have a 200 year-old mystery about my great-great-... grandmother's name!  My uncle Jared Sydney Torrance wrote a wonderful biography of the Torrance family up to and including Robert Torrance marrying 'Lucy Peck' in 1764 in Woodbury CT.  He also says he was unable to find any family info on Lucy.  But then the one primary source he quotes from, I got ahold of and it says her name was SALLY Peck?!

I'm descended from Ebenezer's sister Rebecca. Rebecca married Edward Martin on 08 Nov 1723 in Rehoboth, Bristol, Massachusetts. Their daughter Mary Martin married Simeon Horton. After he died, she married John Ellis Sr. Mary and John are my 6x great-grandparents.

Hello Caren - From examining the Peck genealogy book, you are a descendant of the oldest son who came over in 1638, Joseph, Jr. I am a descendent of the youngest son, Nicholas, who was seven years younger than Joseph.
From Nicholas my line is: Hezekiah (4/01/16620; Hezekiah (2/22/1695-6); Joseph (12/30/1741); Hezekiah; Mark; Solen; Bruce, Thaine, and then me.
I will write more later! It is so exciting to find this site. I have recommended it to two other relatives, and will keep after them to get signed up.
Do you have a copy of Ira Belou Peck's genealogy as well?
