I have found very confusing data on their identity, > etc.... Susan - That makes you a member of a rather large club. I have seen no definitive treatment of this subject. It seems certain that he had >>>a<<< wife whose surname was Ibrook, as his journal records: (1664) Aprill 4 My Mother Ibrook Dyed (Hobart Journal, NEHGR 121 [1967]:116). That's all the help that I've found from Rev. Peter. Some years ago I found an interesting note about Rev. Peter pencilled in an NEHGS Circulating Library copy of the 1897 reprint of Mitchell's History of Bridgewater: "1st wife Margaret Ibrook - see Southwold Records." I have not followed up on that note. A soundex search discloses no Rebecca Peck in a series (part of "Genealogical Research in England") published in the Register (S. Allyn Peck and Frederick Stanhope Peck, "The English Ancestry of Joseph Peck, of Hingham, Mass., in 1638." NEHGR 89 [1935]:327-339; 90 [1936]:58-67, 194-198, 263-268, 371-373; 91 [1937]:7-15, 282-286, 355-363). Dale H. Cook USGenWeb Plymouth County MA Towns http://www.rootsweb.com/~macbrock/sites.html
