For John and William there are notes to "see Litchfield". If anyone is interested in this information, let me know. I'm not a Peck researcher. I have easy access to the book in my local library and checked when I returned a book tonight. Sorry, I can't take lookup requests for other families. I'm very busy job hunting right now. I would suggest that anyone researching the Peck family also look at "A genealogical dictionary of the first settlers of New England, showing three generations of those who came before May, 1692, on the basis of the Farmer's Register"; Vol. 3. pages 380-383. This book can be found on-line at < http://genweb.net/~books/savage/savage.htm > You will find some differences in birth dates from those given by Barbour for some of the individuals.
