Surnames: Atwell Peck Lee Pratt Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/4YB.2ACEB/396.1 Message Board Post: http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyschuyl/peckgen.htm The Peck and Atwell families go way back to Lyme and Saybrook together. Many Peck marriages were also Atwell family marriages such as Lee, Pratt and others. Both families moved to Nova Scotia together. William Atwell may go back to Benjamin and Mary Atwell of 1664 unless they come from Maine.
