Alleen-Marie Coke My records show Paul Peck Jr.son of Paul Peck marrying Elizabeth Baisey/Baysey and having 8 children including the Hannah you mentioned and the Samuel that I'm following. As you'll see from the information I posted (IIa posting) the Bible doesn't mention this Paul Peck Jr. I believe the Bible is wrong and your info. is correct but who knows. I'll do further research on this. Carol White

Peck. Going Home Out of the chill and the shadow Into the thrill and the shrine; Out of the dearth and the famine Into the fullness divine. Up from the strife and the battle Oft with the shameful deafeat Up to the palm and the laurel O but the rest will be sweet. Leaving the cloud and the tempest, Reaching the balm and the cheer Finding the end of our sorrow Finding the end of our fear. Seeing the face of the Master Yearned for in”distance and dream” O for that rapture of gladness O for that vision supreme. Meeting the dear ones departed, Knowing them, clasping their hands All the beloved and true hearted There in the fairest of lands. Sin evermore left behind us, Pain nevermore to distress; Changing the moan for the music, Living the Savior to bless. Why should we care for the dying That is but springing to life, Why should we shrink from the struggle Pale at the swift closing strife. Since it is only beyond us, Scarcely a step, and a breath, All that dear home of the living Guarded by what we call death. There shall we learn the sweet meanings Hidden to day from our eyes. There shall we waken like children Joyous at gift and susprise. Come then, dear Lord, in the gloaming Or where the dawning is day! Take us to dwelll in thy presence Only Thyself lead us the way. Out of the chill and the shadow Into the thrill and the shrine! Out of the dearth and the famine Into the fullness divine. Out of the sigh and the silence Into the deep swelling song! Out of the exile and bondage Into the home gathered throng. April 27 1893 H.C.P. Thomas W. Blasdale, brother of Mrs. Francis H. Richards died in Chicopee, Mass., February 18, 1898.

Then deeps to gold the blood-red flame, The blossom of the Dawn is doomed! A million leaves of light proclaim The flower of the Day has bloomed. W. T. T.

George Redfield Clarke’s Family George Redfield Clarke, husband of Fannie Ward Peck, writes: “There is a pretty good history of the Redfield family, which follows their movements from the earliest settlement of the New England colonists down to about 1860. The Colonel Clarke of revolutionary fame was my father’s great-uncle. My father’s father and his brother both took part in the battle of Plattsburgh in the war of 1812, the brother distinguishing himself by crawling out on the stringers of a bridge from which the flooring had been removed by the Americans and killing a British sharpshooter who had from the shelter of a pier shot several Americans.

The Peck Bible says that Samuel was the son of Samuel son or Paul of Hartford. I think that's wrong. I believe Samuel was the son of Paul son of Paul of Hartford but will go and recheck all my data in case the Bible record is correct. I'd appreciate any input from anyone else also following this family line. Carol White All this information was glued into the center section of The Holy Bible dated 1835 and stereotyped by L. Johnson, Philadelphia. It appeared to be owned by Henry Peck 1828 – 1905, though was undoubtedly owned previously by his father, Henry Peck 1795 – 1867..

When fairy tales were ended “Good night” she softly said And kissed and laid me down to sleep within my tiny bed, And holy words she taught me there, methinks I yet can see Her angel eyes, as close I knelt beside my mother’s knee. In sickness of my childhood, the perils of my prime, The sorrows of my riper (?) years, the cares of ev’ry time, When doubt or danger weighed me down, then pleading all for me, It was a fervent prayer to Heav’n that bent my mother’s knee. My mother dear, my mother dear, my gentle, gentle mother. Copied by Horace C. Peck while his aged mother, a few days only short of ninety years, lay upon her death bed. March the 10th 1887. Here are three newspaper clippings about the death of Miss Jessie Peck (Dec 2. 1888), marriage of George Redfield Clarke and Fannie W. Peck (Sept 11)and death of Jerusha C. Peck.(March 11, 1887).

I recently was given this old family Bible anad have transcribed the handwritten notes found all through it as best I can. If anyone wants to discuss it with me in more detail I'd be glad to. This Bible (1797) was owned by the following persons: Abijah Peck Jesse Peck Mayor Henry Peck Henry Peck Fanny Ward Peck Clarke Jessie R. Clarke Baxter – sister of Frederick Clarke Elsie Baxter Carol A. Hammond White - granddaughter of Frederick Clarke (written on HJ Heinz Co. business card of:) G. R. Clark 30-34 Eastern Ave. Boston, MA This is the Bronson bible, so named by me because Jesse Peck made a note in pencil showing the relationship between the Pecks and Bronsons. The book was first owned by Abijah Peck and came to Jesse, the father of Everard, Henry and Jesse and Emily. And so it came to Mayor Henry Peck’s son Henry and given by him to his daughter Fannie, wife of Redfield Clarke. This book once belonged to Jesse Peck who died in Rochester in 1823. it was owned by Henry Peck of New Haven, his son, and after his death to me Henry Peck (jr) by his widow, formerly Jerusha Clarke, my mother.

I'll have some of the transcriptions ready to post tonight but I also wanted to let you know that along with the Bibles I received the following books: The Poets of Connecticut with Biographical Sketches - 1849 (I could do look ups in that) The New Haven State House with some account of the Green - 1889 Reminiscences and Early History of Old Peru (New York - 1913) History of New Haven (1837 by Edward R. Lambert) (could do look ups on the Lambert family) Those last three books have loads of people mentioned but there is no index so can't do look ups other than what I offered to do. Carol White

Hi AM: Looks like the offer of Peck information may prove helpful to you. It's good to see something of value come on line. I took all the background information that was given about Vermont by the list owner (I don't know exactly what a list owner is) and put it in my background files. I suppose the "owner" is the volunteer who took on the responsibility of managing the list and as such is someone like you or even me. All of the garden that was covered, survived the freeze last night. The tent over the tomatoes with electric bulbs inside probably helped. All of the border plantings of nasturtiums have had it as well as the Dahlias which are very tender. The green bean pole has had it too but they had stopped bearing anyway. I will be going to Kinkos printing early in the morning soon when they open. It is good to go early before all the people from the offices show up doing copy work. They have 6 of the big multi purpose copy machine for that purpose at 7 cents per page. This time it is background information form Ira Allen's history of Vermont. Interestingly, in every land deal g grandfather Jesse was involved in... Ira was also there as a fellow "proprietor." Anyway all of a sudden Jesse and his son Harmon and some of the others kids took off for NYS in 1795 maybe by way of CT a few years after Jesse was found by me as an early settler of Mt Holly, VT in 1792. I also found recently that Jesse apparently put his oldest son's name (Harmon) in as a grantee on one of the New Hampshire Grants when the kid was only 9 years old. ( Creative spelling here again for Harmon; this time Hermon other times Harmon, Herman, Hermen even Harmanius). No other Sawyers of a similar given name are found in this time period to confuse the issue. Anyway I am finding new stuff never noted before. I went in to a VT RAOGK volunteer who did try to help me last year with a new request message. Perhaps I will finally get something through the program. The count for look-ups from the Lycoming Co PA list hit 28 this morning but no more hits were uncovered.

Thank you Carol White for your kind offer to share your PECK Family Bible information! Maybe my long search for my 2 missing PECKs of the time and place will soon be over. I DO have a Paul PECK, Jr. in my database. All I know about him is that he married an Elizabeth BAISIE, and fathered a Hannah PECK, who married a Joseph Hopkins and maybe died in Hartford in about 1715. My other 2 PECKs are: Nathaniel, b abt. 1687 and died abt. 1752 who married Sarah Hopkins about 1711, who were parents of Sarah PECK, who married my 5 great-grandfather, Abel MUNSON, in 1728 in Wallingford. Abel and Sarah PECK MUNSON's grandson, Almon(d) MUNSON, b in Brantford in 1761, married another PECK, Esther PECK, who is mentioned in the MUNSON RECORD, but about whom I've been unable to find any further information. Anything further on these people will be most gratefully welcome. Alleen-Marie Coke

I have recently come into possession of Peck Family Bibles from the late 1700's through the late 1800's. They're full of marriage, birth, death info. for the Peck family of the New Haven, CT area, descendants of Paul Peck. I have been slowly typing them for my information. If anyone would like to see it, I could also send the information to them or post it on this list. I also have found in a scrapbook misc. obituaries.

Thanks everyone ! I'm a little closer to finding information... Cynthia
