Robert Peck, their pastor, fled from the per- secutions of their church to America. They came in the ship "Diligent," of Ipswich, John Martin, master. The records of Hingham, Massachusetts, state: "Mr. Joseph Peck and his wife, with three sons and daughter and two men servants and three maid servants, came from Old Hingham, and settled at New Hingham." He was granted a house lot of seven acres adjoining that of his brother, Rev. Robert Peck. He remained at Hing- ham seven years, when he removed to See- konk. At Hingham he was deputy to gen- eral court 1639, 1640, 1641, 1642. He took an active part in town affairs; was selectman, justice of the peace, assessor, etc. In 1641 he became one of the principal purchasers of the Indians of that tract of land called See- konk, afterwards the town of Rehoboth, in- cluding the present towns of Rehoboth, Massachusetts, and Seekonk and Pawtucket, Rhode Island. He removed in 1645 to his new home. An incident of the trip is found on the town records of Rehoboth: "Mr. Jos- eph Peck and three others of Hingham, be- ing about to remove to Seaconk, riding thith- er they sheltered themselves and their horses in an Indian wigwam, which by some occa- sion took fire, and, although there were four in it and labored to their utmost, burnt three of their horses to death, and all their goods, to the value of fifty pounds." He was ap- pointed to assist in matters of controversy at court, and in 1650 was authorized to perform marriages. He was second on the tax list. In some instances land granted to him is still owned by his descendants. His house was upon the plain in the northerly part of the Ring of the Town, near the junction of the present Pawtucket with the old Boston and Bristol road, not far from the Boston & Providence railroad station. He died De- cember 23, 1663. His will was proved March 3. 1663-4. His sons united in an amplifica-
tion of the written will which was made on his death-bed, and the court accepted it as part of the will. He married first, Rebecca Clark, at Hingham, England, May 21, 1617.

He was not named in the will of his father made on his death-bed and completed by a supplementary statement of sons present at his death-bed. Simon did not go to Rehoboth, and probably had his share of his father's estate at Hingham. The his- tory of Hingham gives Simon as one of the sons.
