OTIS (OTTISS, OATES).
1. JOHN, b. at Barnstable, in the County of Devonshire, Eng. 1581, prob. came to our Hing. with Rev. Peter Hobart and his company, and on the 18th of Sept., 1635, drew a house-lot containing five acres on Town (North, near Ship) St., where he resided until March 15, 1646, when his house, and the one in the adjoining lot, belonging to Thomas Loring, was burnt to the ground. He subsequently, "13 (2) 1646," purchased of Thomas Turner of Hing. "a house & fyve Acres of land lying betweene Joseph Andrews on the East & Edmund Pitts on the west, wth the street south & Richard Baskam (Betscome) North;" "Also two Acres meddow in the Broad Cove meddow & twelve Acres of land beyond Crooked Meddow or Bridge " (S. D. vol. i. p. 70), all of which he afts. conveyed to his s. John Otis, Jr., for a certain sum to be paid the fa. annually in addition to other consid- erations ; also five acres of land next to John Moulton's (Knowlton), together with " A planting lott of Tenn Acres on Weariall [Otis ] Hill" (S. D. vol. ii. p. 161). In addition to the first named grant he received other lots both of upland and meadow from the town. His last grant was dated 5 March, 1646-47. He was twice married. The

chris. name of his first w., who was the mother of his ch., was Mar- garet. She d. in Hing. 28 June, 1653. He shortly after removed to Wey. and took a sec. w. John d. at Wey. 31 May, 1657, æt. 76 yrs. Freeman 3 March, 1635-36, and in 1641 was one of the persons chosen to make a rate. In his will, dated at Wey. the day before his death, and proved 28 July foll. he gives "to my daughter Mar- garet Burton and her three children twenty shillings amongst them, a small brasse pot, and a canvass skillet. To my daughter Hannah Gile two feather boulstes, one Rugg, a cotton blankett and my big- gest brasse Kittle. To Mary Gile, one cow and one pillowber. To Thomas Gile Junior one muskett. To my daughter Anna and my daughter Allice five shillings apiece. To my wife, forty shillings." Son John executor.
2. JOHN 2 (John1), b. in Eng. 1620, accompanied his parents to New Eng., and settlement in Hing., 1635. Freeman 1662. He m. Mary, dau. of Nicholas Jacob of Hing. It has frequently been stated in notices relating to this fam. that John 2 resided while in Hing. at Otis Hill; but I find no evidence to confirm this, nor is there any reason for believing that a dwelling was ever located there. He undoubtedly resided on North St., in the house purchased by his fa., until 1661, when he removed to Scit., and thence, in 1678, to Barn- stable, Mass., returning, however, soon after, to Scit., where he d. 16 Jan. 1682-83, æt. 63d yr.

PECK.
1. ROBERT, from Hing., Norfolk Co., Eng., and s. of Robert of Beccles, County of Suffolk, Eng., was granted seven acres of land in our Hing. 1638, on Bachelor (Main) St., in the vicinity of the present meeting-house of the First Parish, and the same year was ordained in Nov. teacher of the church. The foll. extracts furnish reliable in- formation relating to him and his fam. : -
" Robert Peck, Hingham, probably brother of Joseph, was bred at Magdalen College, Cambridge ; was minister over 30 years at Hing- ham, County of Norfolk. He came with wife and 2 children and 2 servants in the [ship] 'Diligent,' 1638, and on the 28th of November of that year was ordained [teacher]; freeman 13 March following; but embarked 27 October, 1641, with wife and son Joseph for home, and went back to his old parsonage; there died 1656." (Savage's Gen. Dic.) From a brief sketch of Old Hing. by Walter Rye, editor of the Norfolk Co., Eng., "Antiquarian Miscellany," I take the foll. : " Another native was the Rev. Robert Peck, a great schis- matic, who being prosecuted for various illegal alterations he had made in the church fled to America. . . . He returned to England when his party got into power." Mather wrote : "Mr. Peck, at the solicitation of his friends in England, returned to them in 1641, and there remained a minister of the gospel." (See also conveyance in sketch of Capt. John Mason, p. 65.)

Main and Water Sts. Daniel Cushing's rec. for 1638 says : "Mr. Joseph Peck and his wife with 3 sones and daughter, and 2 men ser- vants and 3 maid servants, came from Old Hingham and settled in New Hingham " (10). The number ten given in the margin prob. signifies that there were two sons and one dau. Freeman 13 March, 1639, and representative 1639 to 1642 inc. In 1645, Joseph and most of his fam. removed to Rehoboth, where he d. 22 Dec. 1663.

PEIRCE (PIERCE; PEARCE; PERSE).
MICHAEL, appears to have been a resident of Hing. between 1645 and 1666. In 1647 he purchased lands in the Conihasset. His first w., whose name I have not ascertained, d. in Hing. 31 Dec. 1662. A few yrs. after he removed to Scit., and took a sec. w., whose chris. name was Ann. " He was a captain of great bravery, and in Philip's War commanded a company of fifty Englishmen, and twenty friendly Indians from Cape Cod at the Pawtucket fight in Rehoboth, where, on the 27th of March, 1676, he and most of his command were killed." (Deane's "History of Scituate.")
