John Peckham is said to have been an ordained clargyma n i n Englan d, at o ne time
chaplain to the Earl of Hertford. His religious views chan g in g, he le ft the
clergy and probably came to Boston with Sir Henry Vane i n 1 635, a nd in 1 638 was
at Newport at the southerly end of Rhode Island. Many of G o vernor Vane's
friends were banished from Boston in 1637 because of the i r opinions b ei ng at
variance with those of the Puritan element in control of t h e govern me nt of
Massachusetts Bay Colony. John Peckham was an active memb e r of the Bap ti st
colony at Newport, and in 1648 was one of the 10 men who f o rmed the ch ur ch. He
lived in that part of Newport which is now called Middleto w n.

JOHN PECKHAM was born in England and baptized Apr. 8. 1595 . In 16 34 he w as chaplain to the Earl of Hertford and ther e is no doubt but th at as cha plain to that nobleman he mad e the acquaintance of Sir Henry Va ne, the yo unger. There ca n be little doubt that the extreme theologic al vie ws of Si r Henry Vane became the convincing argument that turned J oh n Pec kham from his allegiance to the Church of England. The se mo re or less ext reme views may be described in the langu age of that d ay as those of a Bap tist Lollard. John Peckha m was in Rhode Island in 16 38. He is suppos ed to have com e to Boston in 1634 with Sir Henry Van e. In Bosto n, he me t Mary Clarke, who had accompanied her brother, Dr. J ohn Cl ark e, to Boston. While John Peckham's name does not appea r in t he list of th ose disarmed in Boston, nor among the fo llowers of Wheelwri ght, nor o ne of the signers of the Ports mouth Covenant, yet he must ha ve been o ne of the party know n as the Ann Hutchinson Party, who found ed a settleme nt o n the north end of Rhode Island, the town of Portsmout h. O n March 1 6, 1641, he was admitted a freeman. In 1641 he wa s o ne of the ten male me mbers of the First Baptist Church o f Newport in fu ll communion. He had fi ve children by his fi rst wife, Mary Clarke. Aft er her death he married, E leano r (probably born Peckham) by whom he h ad seven children. Jo hn Peckh am died in 1681 and Mary Clarke in 1648.

The surname Peckham is derived from the parish of Peckham i n the Co un ty of Kent, England. The suffix "ham" inthe earl y Saxon language, sign ifi ed home or town; names containin g it areof local origin. Peckham ther efo re means the town o f Peck, or the home of Peck. Eminent authoriti es gi ve the o riginal home of the family as Scandinavia, and the ti me o f its f ounding in England as the eleventh century, shortl y after t he Norman Conq uest.
The name is variously spelled, Peccam, Peckham, and Pecham ; John Peck ha m, who was Archbishop of Canterbury from 127 9 to1292, was the fou nd er of one of the most noted branche s of the family in England, b ut as ear ly as 1127, Robert Pe ckham was chaplain to King Henry I. It h as not be en possibl e to establish a connection between Robert Peckham a nd Joh n Pe ckham, Archbishop of Canterbury, Sir Edmund Peckham, on e of t he Archbisho p's descendants, was master of the mint t o Queen Elizabet h, and was knigh ted in 1542. He resided i n Buckinghamshire. His son, S ir George Peckha m, was a merch ant adventurer and in company with Sir Hen ry Gilbert,S ir Ri chard Greenville and Christopher Carlisle went on a tr ip o f explora tion in 1574. They reached the Newfoundelandes (no w Newfou ndland) and ca me down the coast of North America.
The founder of the American branch of the Peckham family i s thought to ha ve been a direct descendant of Sir George Pec kham, of the rei gn of Que en Elizabeth. He was the progenito r of the majority of the Peck ham famili es in America today.

He was married to Mary Clarke.(226) Until quite recently the marriage of John Peckham and Mary Clarke (sister of Doctor John Clarke ), was a matter of supposition supported by purely circumstantial eviden ce. The late researches of Mr . Byron J. Peckham in the early records of Bristol County , Massachusetts, at Taunton, have settled by absolute record evidence the question of this marriage.
Concerning Mary Clarke, John Peckham's first wife, the line of whose descent has been fully established, a Bible which belonged to her brother, Doctor John Clarke, which contains several generations preceding and follow ing their advent in America, is still in existence, in the possession of
Professor Doctor John C. C. Clarke of Upper Alton, Ill.
329. Mary Clarke died before 1648. Children were:
i. John Peckham was born about 1645 in Newport, Newport, R I . He died about 1712.
ii. William Peckham.
iii. Mary Peckham.
iv. Thomas Peckham.
John married Mary CLARKE, daughter of Thomas CLARKE and Rose KERIDGE, about 1637. Mary was christened 17 Jul 1607 in Westhorp, Suffolk, England. She died 1648 in Newport, Newport , Rhode Island.
Mary was christened 26 Jul 1607 in Westhorpe, Suffolk, Engl and.

Mary Clarke probably came to the Colonies at the same time as her brothers, Thomas, John and Joseph, and probably married John Peckham after arriving in Rhode Island as she was apparently granted land by the to wn of Newport, possibl y before her marriage. Mary Clark of Newport had her land in Newport recorded immediately after that of John Peckham , so meti me between March 1641 and 16 March 1642. Her land s consisted of 40 acres "lying upon the millbrook alias ham brook." Peckham's land also lay near the Hambrook mill. I t seems unlikely that the town would grant b oth in dividuals land if they were already married. Two deeds, one from Joshua Coggeshall to Walter Cunigrave dated 30 May 1651, and one from Walter Cunigrave to John Green dated 6 June 1651 , describe lands in Newpo rt adjoining "land granted by th e Town of Newport unto Mary Clarke now deceased some time the wife of John Peckham," the first of which deeds was witnessed by John and Elizabeth Clarke, probably the brother o f Mary Clarke and his wife.

Mary PECKHAM (John ) was born 1643 in Newport, Newport Co., Rhode Island. She died 1695 in Westerly, Kings Co., Rhode Island.

Mrs. Louise Prosser Bates of Westerly, a highly educated woman and descended from Tobias Saunders and Joseph Clarke and William Crumb, spent years in research of original records in Westerly and left her papers by bequest to the state of RI. Unfortunately they have never been printed. The following is from her papers: "The first wife of Joseph Clarke (brother of Dr. John Clarke who is often called the founder of Newport, RI) was a sister of Tobias Saunders. Tobias married Mary Peckham, daughter of John Peckham and Mary Clarke, sister of Joseph Clarke. Tobias and Mary (Peckham) Saunders had a daughter Mercy Saunders who was the first wife of William Crumb (Daniel-1)." This statement is included in the Genealogy of the Peckham.
Conclusive proof is found in disposition of the estate of James Peckham, son of John & Mary Peckham who died unmarried and intestate 26 Jeb 1711/2. One 25 Dec 1712, Peter & Elizabeth (Saunders) Barker were among James' heirs giving a power of attorney to Philip and William Peckham and John Taylor to sell James' realty. Elizabeth (Saunders) Babcock and her husband James Babcock appointed her brother-in-law, Peter Barker, to "receive in charge, all legacies...[from the estate of] their honored uncle James Peckham." On 19 May 1712, Edward, John, Stephen and Benjamin Saunders appointed their brother-in-law Peter Barker to transact business for them and their sister, Elizabeth. (Bristol Co. Deeds 8:70).

Mrs. Louise Prosser Bates of Westerly, a highly educated woman and descended from Tobias Saunders and Joseph Clarke and William Crumb, spent years in research of original records in Westerly and left her papers by bequest to the state of RI. Unfortunately they have never been printed. The following is from her papers: "The first wife of Joseph Clarke (brother of Dr. John Clarke who is often called the founder of Newport, RI) was a sister of Tobias Saunders. Tobias married Mary Peckham, daughter of John Peckham and Mary Clarke, sister of Joseph Clarke. Tobias and Mary (Peckham) Saunders had a daughter Mercy Saunders who was the first wife of William Crumb (Daniel-1)." This statement is included in the Genealogy of the Peckham.
Conclusive proof is found in disposition of the estate of James Peckham, son of John & Mary Peckham who died unmarried and intestate 26 Jeb 1711/2. One 25 Dec 1712, Peter & Elizabeth (Saunders) Barker were among James' heirs giving a power of attorney to Philip and William Peckham and John Taylor to sell James' realty. Elizabeth (Saunders) Babcock and her husband James Babcock appointed her brother-in-law, Peter Barker, to "receive in charge, all legacies...[from the estate of] their honored uncle James Peckham." On 19 May 1712, Edward, John, Stephen and Benjamin Saunders appointed their brother-in-law Peter Barker to transact business for them and their sister, Elizabeth. (Bristol Co. Deeds 8:70).

1726, 5, 19. John Comer was ordained as assistant. In th e m anuscript
diary of latter, he says, "I was solemnly ordained by
fasting and prayer and imposition of the hands of the Elde r s of the
Church, viz., Mr. Wm. Peckham, Pastor, Mr. Sam'l Maxwell,
Deacon. Mr. Wm. Peckham gave me the charge in these expre s s words. A
coppie--Forasmuch as you have complied
with ye call of ye church to the work of the ministry in t h is place.
I charge thee therefore before God and the Lord Jesns Christ
who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing a n d Kingdom.
Preach the word, be instant in season, reprove, rebuke,
exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. Watch tho u i n all
things, endure affliction. Do the work of an Evangelist. M a ke full
proof of thy ministry. Take heed to thyself and all thy fl o ck over
which the Holy Ghost hath made thee overseer. Give attenda n ce
to reading, to meditation, to doctrine. Study to approve t h yself to
God a workman, y't needeth not be ashamed, rightly
dividing the word of truth. Flee youthful lasts, follow
righteousness, faith, charity, with all those who call o n y e Lord out of
a
pure heart. Administer also the ordinances of the New Test n ment,
Baptism, and the Supper of ye Lord as commanded in ye
holy Scriptures, feed the flock not by Constraint, but wil l ingly, not
for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind. These things I give
thee in charge in the sight of God who quickeneth all thin g s and
before Jesus Christ who before Pontius Pilate witnesse d a g ood
confession--that thon keep this commandment without spot,
unrebukable, until ye appearing of our Lord Jesas Christ , a nd when
the Chief Shepherd shall appear, you shall receive a cro w n of glory
which fadeth not away. And in testimony of your reception
to an equal part in ye work of ye sacred ministry I give y o u my right
hand.' " Mr. Comer tells us, that when he was called to
the church the number of members was 18, of whom 10 were m e n and 8
women. He says he received for salary, to December
of this year, 85, 14s. 6d.
1730, 3, 3. "This day (says Comer) I went to visit Elder P e ckcom, who

1731, 10, 13. John Callender was ordained as colleague wi t h Mr.
Peckham, in place of John Comer. Mr. Callender remained as

Weeden, and Deborah Clarke, all the rest of estate;
1/2 to Deborah, and other 1/2 to Mary and Phebe equally . A s she did
not mention William Peckham,3 or any of his children, it
is probable he was a son of Wm. Peekham2 by first wife. Pe r haps the
daughter Mary Barker was wife of that James Barker
who traditionally is given Mary Cook for his wife. He ha d d aughters
Phebe, Deborah, etc.

General Notes: Husband - John Delong

---

Raised in the early Spring of 1777 by wealthy Beverley Robinson, the
LOYAL AMERICAN REGIMENT consisted almost entirely of New York loyalists from lower Duchess and Westchester Counties. Robinson
managed sixty thousand acres and 146 tenant farms in Dutchess County. Not surprisingly, his own tenants (and relatives) accounted for a large
percentage of the soldiers and officers of the regiment.
Click for a detailed sketch of Robinson & his signature

Robinson, a childhood friend of George Washington, was one of the wealthiest men in the New York colony and like any good leader, he playedthe game of politics well by eventually gaining access to British
Commander-in-Chief Sir Henry Clinton. Robinson quickly became Clinton's friend and trusted advisor.
"Once more unto the breach!" (from Henry V)
Robinson's men were quick to distinguish themselves. The LOYAL AMERICAN REGIMENT participated in the storming of Forts Montgomery and Clinton in the fall of 1777. First to enter Fort Montgomery was Captain George
Turnbull of the LOYAL AMERICAN REGIMENT. Turnbull took command of Major Grant's company of New York Volunteers when Grant himself was killed before the attack on the fort commenced. Sir Henry Clinton subsequently made Turnbull Lieutenant-Colonel of the New York Volunteers
1

The LAR was garrisoned variously at Kingsbridge (near present-day West 230th Street and Marble Hill Avenue) and Bloomingdale (close to present-day Columbia University) on Manhattan Island as well as a stint
on Long Island at Flushing NY (referred to as Flushing Fly in LAR muster rolls and various Loyalist orderly books).

Click for Lossing's 1840's sketch of Kingsbridge

Men from the regiment were frequently detached to serve with other regiments -- usually for light infantry warfare. There are three distinct examples of note:

In 1777, Captain Joshua Barnes and his company of the LAR were detached as marksmen to Emmerick's Chasseurs under the command of Andreas Emmerick and were present at Fort Montgomery in 1777. "Certain light infantry troops were known as Jagers in the German army and as chasseurs in the French and British army. Even the Germans, however, used the term chasseurs for those Jagers who were part of a regiment, as opposedto
those who were in Von Wurmb's Jager Corps." (Boatner, Encyclopedia of the American Revolution)

In 1779, British Captain Patrick Ferguson took in members of the LAR to serve as rangers and riflemen on his ill-fated expedition to South Carolina -- an expedition which ended in disaster at King's Mountain.

Lieutenant Anthony Allaire2 of the LAR was at King's Mountain and kept a diary which became an important record of the British prospective of the battle. Allaire was taken prisoner by the rebels and treatedreasonably well although he disliked a congregation of Presbyterians who forced him to listen to one of their sermons. "Horse thieves all,"wrote Allaire.3

Finally, Captain Morris (son of Beverley) Robinson's company was detached to the corps known as the Provincial Light Infantry under British Lt. Col. John W. Watson of the Brigade of Foot Guards. It is interesting to note LAR
influence. Thomas Barclay, the Major for the LAR, served as the Majorof the Provincial Light Infantry.

Political Intrigue

Besides commanding his regiment, Colonel Beverley Robinson was also deeply involved in the treason of Benedict Arnold. Sometime in 1779, Robinson wrote the following in a letter to Arnold which urged him to
help England end the war:

"It is necessary that a decisive advantage should put Britain in a condition to dictate the terms of reconciliation . . .
There is no one but General Arnold who can surmount obstacles so great as these. A man of so much courage will never despair of the republic, even when every door to a reconciliation seems sealed. Render, then,
brave General, this important service to your country . . . Let us put an end to so many calamities. You and ourselves have the same origin, the same
language, the same laws . . . Beware, then, of breaking forever the links and ties of a friendship whose benefits are proven . . . United in equality, we will rule the universe, we will hold it bound, not by arms and violence
but by the ties of commerce -- the lightest and most gentle bonds that human kind can wear."4

Exile

When the war ended in defeat for the Crown, loyalists were forced to leave America. As part of the mass exodus to Canada, the LOYAL AMERICAN REGIMENT left New York City5 in the transport ships Ann
and Apollo and headed to Fredericton, New Brunswick where they received a land grant known as Block 12. Once there, the men of the regiment
started their lives over. Some stayed. Some moved on to other parts of Canada.

The upheaval in their lives certainly didn't go unnoticed. In later years, Major Thomas Barclay of the LOYAL AMERICAN REGIMENT wrote of his former American neighbours6:

"I find that those who were termed Royalists or Loyalists, in addition to their attachment to their king and country, preserve their principles of honor and integrity, of openness and sincerity, which markedthe American previous to the year 1773; while those who have sold their king for a Republican Government, have adopted all the frivolity, intrigue, and insincerity of the French, and in relinquishing their allegiance, resigned at the same time, almost universally, religion andmorality."7

A harsh, but revealing statement of loyalist mind set.

THE RECREATED REGIMENT

Under the able command of Captain Drew Smith, the LOYAL AMERICAN REGIMENT (Light Company/Marksmen) strives to portray soldiers who are proficient with the manual of arms but are also able to adapt to any fighting
condition, whether in the field or in the woods, with lightning speedand agility. The Advanced Guard: Its purpose & practice

We portray the LAR as we believe they would have looked in the early war (1777-1779) with a particular emphasis on Captain Barnes' company when they were detached as marksmen to Emmerick's Chasseurs.
Our shortened green coats are faced red8 (the regiment seems to havedefinitely changed over to red coats by early 1780). As opposed to
blindly imitating what official sources state was issued (or ordered), we have made a conscious decision that our clothing and accoutrements will reflect realistic modifications made while in the field as well as the use of occasional captured equipment.

Light infantry tactics are used and, therefore, a degree of physical exertion is inevitable. Frankly, we run around a lot -- something to keep in mind. Also, you'll have to endure the comments of friends who think
you are completely insane because you wear a wool uniform in the middle of summer heat waves.

As a member, you can make your own clothing and accoutrements if you wish but you will have to pass inspection by the commander.
A brief look at gaitered-trousers/ trousers & cut-down coats.

With regimental headquarters in Borden town NJ, the LOYAL AMERICAN REGIMENT (Light Company/Marksmen) has a membership throughout the Mid-Atlantic area. We heartily invite you to take the King's shilling!

The Loyal American Regiment is a proud member of
The British Brigade, an umbrella organization which

while fighting and dying for their beliefs and loyalties
during the American War of Independence.

"Lieutenant Anthony Allaire, Loyal American Regiment of Provincials, tried by the General Court Martial for taking and detaining a sword belonging to
the late Lieutenant Campbell of the 52nd Regiment and for suffering himself to be ill-treated by Mr. Hunt as afterwards by Adjutant Cunningham of said
regiment, the court, having considered the evidence the prisoner Lieutenant Allaire, is of opinion he is not guilty of anything in taking the sword of
Lieutenant Colonel Campbell that can impeach his character and do therefore acquit him with honor of any blame on that account, and think also that his
youth and inexperience in the service are sufficient reasons for his being cleared of censure on account of his disputes with Hunt and Cunningham and do therefore acquit him of the same . . ."

Present at Stony Point in 1779, Lieutenant William Marshall was the acting Engineer of Defences when he was captured by the Americans on July 16, 1779. While interned at Lancaster PA in 1780, he drew a map ofthe action at Stony Point where he recognized the LOYAL AMERICAN REGIMENT as having green coats faced red. The original of this map is to be found at the PA Historical. Society. We feel very confident that someone who was actually there -- an important officer whose job involved precise observation and attention to detail -- would be able to correctly discern the colors of the regimental coats in his fort.

Provincial Regiments
The Loyal American Regiments
This corps was raised almost entirely by the efforts of Colonel Beverley Robinson, a wealthy citizen of Duchess County on the Hudson river. Its officers and men were nearly all natives of the Province of NewYork. A few
months after its organization the regiment took part in the expedition of Sir Henry Clinton against Forts Clinton and Montgomery. With little more than raw recruits, formed a part of the column that stormed and captured Fort
Montgomery. After their return to New York they formed part of the garrison there.

They took part in the campaign in Pennsylvania and assisted in the capture of Stoney Point on the Hudson River May 30th, 1779. Afterwards they were engaged in the campaign in the south under Lord Cornwallis. They
suffered very heavily at the disastrous battle of King's Mountain where a band of the loyalist troops, out numbered by their enemies and surrounded on all sides, were obliged to surrender.

Col. Robinson had, as his Lieutenant Colonel, his son Beverly Robinson and others of his sons were officers in the kings service in one or other of the provincial corps. Thomas Barclay was major and Rev. John Beardsley
rector of Poughkeepsie on the Hudson was chaplain. At the close of the war part of the Loyal American Regiment went to Nova Scotia and theremainder
settled on the St. John river.

Col. Beverley Robinson died in England. His son, Lieut Col. Robinson at the peace went with other loyalists to Shelburne but afterwards removed to New Brunswick and settled at Nashwaaksis in the parish of Douglas where his descendants still reside. Many of the officers and menof this corps who settled in the province made their influence felt in their respective communities. Rev. John Beardsley was rector of Maugerville. He was the ancestor of the Beardsley s of Woodstock. Dr. Peter Huggeford, a
surgeon of the corps, was in early days a leading physician at St. John. Captain Christopher Hatch was a magistrate and colonel of militiaat St. Andrews where he died in 1819 aged 75 years. Capt. Lemuel Wilmot,
grandfather of the late Lieutenant Governor L. A. Wilmot, settled near Fredericton. Lieut. Anthony Allaire settled at Douglas, York
County, where he died in 1839 aged 84 years; his diary which he kept during the southern campaign has been lately published by Dr. Lyman Draper in
his book on "King's Mountain and its heroes."

Lieut. John Ward was a prominent St. John merchant an active and useful citizen; he was interested in steam boating, and one of the first boats that ran between Fredericton and Woodstock was named after him; he died in St.
John in 1846 in his 93rd year, the oldest Hal pay officer in New Brunswick. Captain William Baillie died near Fredericton in 1832 aged 97 years. The great age attained by many of these half pay officers is very remarkable.
The Loyalist Regiments Leave New York

The number of Loyalists who left the United States at the close of the American Revolution has been variously estimated. Judge Thomas Jones, the Loyalist historian, says that Sir Guy Carleton sent away from New York
100,000 persons; perhaps 70,000 would be nearer the mark. But be thenumber less or more, the British commander-in-chief was obliged to put forth his utmost exertions to provide for the establishment of theLoyalists in their new homes in the various parts of the world whither they desired to go. And busily engaged as he was the summer days of 1783 sped all too quickly, both for Sir Guy and, as the events proved, for the Loyalists as well. Refugees made their way from all partsof the old colonies to
New York where they embarked for all parts of the world -- some going to England, Scotland and Ireland, some to Canada, some to Nova Scotia and
Cape Breton, some to Newfoundland and the Island of St. John's (now Prince Edward Island).

Those who had independent means formed companies and hired vessels for themselves; those impoverished by the event of the war were sent in fleets of transport ships to their several destinations by the British government.
By the close of the summer the great majority of the loyal exiles had sailed from New York to their future homes.

Meanwhile the Provincial Regiments still remained. Sir Guy Carleton had been exceedingly anxious to hasten their departure, but the late arrival of the King's instructions relative to their disbandment, and the scarcity of
transports rendered delay in avoidable. As already mentioned, Amos Botsford and his associates, and a little later Col. Edward Winslow,
Muster-Master-General of the Provincial forces, had been sent to explore the St. John river with a view to the settlement of the loyal regiments in that locality. Gen. Fox, commander of the forces at Halifax,personally visited
the St. John river accompanied by Col. Winslow as his private secretary, and it is probable that upon their recommendation and that of Surveyor General Charles Morris, the general locations were assigned to the loyal corps.

The King's American Dragoons had arrived at St. John before the closeof the summer, and General Fox at once sent them to the tract of land allotted them in the parish of Prince William. This action was commended by Sir
Guy Carleton, who wrote, "It was well judged to send the King's American Dragoons to the lands allotted to them as they will find great advantage in being placed on them so early in the season." In SeptemberGeneral Fox visited the settlement founded by this corps, and issued the following order for its disbandment:

"The Loyalists and Their First New Brunswick Winter""
The first winter in New Brunswick was long remembered by the loyalists. Those who came early in the season were able to build log houses which, though rude structures in comparison with former dwellings, enabled them to pass the cold weather with comfort. But the later arrivals were not so fortunate. When they arrived they found that scarcely any preparations had been made for their reception. At Parrtown, Portland and Carleton every habitation was crowded, and up the river S. John the houses of the old inhabitants at Gagetown, Sheffield and Maugerville were in many cases filled to overflowing with as many of the loyalists as could find accommodation.

During the month of October many of the disbanded soldiers pushed their way up the Saint John transporting their few possessions in boats provided by government. But the season was cold and wet and the hardships and exposure very great.

Mrs. Mary Bradley in her curious old autobiography describes the effect produced in her mind by the arrival of the loyalists. She was living at the time in the lower part of the township of Maugerville, now known as Sheffield. "My heart," she says, "was filled with pity and affection when I saw them in a strange land without house or home, and many of them were sick and helpless. I often looked at them when they passed by in boats in rainy weather and wished for them to call and refresh themselves and was glad when they did so." She adds that during the winter one of the loyalist families occupied a part of her father'shouse.

Colonel Richard Hewlett seeing the impossibility of disbanding the loyalist corps at their several locations, as originally intended by SirGuy Carleton, was compelled to disband them at St. John, urging them at the same time to make the best provision they could for the approaching winter. The more adventurous spirits pressed on up the river, some finding shelter in the houses of the old settlers, while others took possession of the abandoned French settlements at Grimross and St. Anne's Point, where they set about building huts and repairing the ruined dwellings of the Acadians, but before they had made much progress the snow was on the ground and the winter frost in the air. They then endured the greatest hardships, their situation being at times rendered well nigh desperate in consequence of the non arrival of supplies expected up the river before the close of navigation. Frequently the stout hearted fathers and sons of the little colony at St. Anne's had tojourney from fifty to a hundred miles with toboggans through wild woods or on the ice to procure a precarious supply of food for their famishing families. Women, delicately reared, cared for their children beneath canvas tents rendered habitable only by the banks of snow which lay six feet deep in the open spaces of the forest, and as one said whohad as a child passed through the terrible experience of that first winter: "There were times when strong proud men wept like children and lay down in their snow bound tents to die.

A few of the pioneer settlers doubtless found shelter among the French Acadians of whom there were then several families living near Springhill, others may have passed the winter at Prince William where the disbanded men of the King's American Dragoons had been sent sufficiently early to finish their log cabins and provisions for passing the winter in comfort. It has commonly been supposed that a party of de Lancey's men under the leadership of Lieut.

Benjamin P. Griffith arrived at Woodstock before the close of the year 1783, but in the absence of any positive evidence on the point thisappears improbable. True, it is barely possible that by prompt and decisive action a party of men might have gathered the necessary supplies and pushed up the river nearly 150 miles before the close of navigation, and then have contrived in some way to exist through the winter,but the undertaking seems such a rash and even perilous one, that thewriter is disposed to think it was not until the spring of 1784 that the actual settlement of Woodstock began.

Very many men from all the loyal American regiments spent their firstwinter at St. John. Some of them drew town lots there and became permanent residents, others removed to their lands up the river the following year. For lack of other accommodation many were forced to live in bark camps and even under canvas tents pitched upon what is now known as the barrack square. These tents were trenched around and covered with spruce brought in the ship's boats from Partridge Island but even then they were a pitiful protection against the biting cold of a New Brunswick winter. Still it was wonderful what the brave hearted foundersof this province endured. The late Hon. John Ward, who died at St. John, Jan. 2nd, 1875, at the advanced age of 92 years, was born in a canvas tent on the barrack square Dec. 18th 1783.

In his little work on New Brunswick history, published in the year 1825, Mr. Peter Fisher (father of ex-Mayor Fisher of Woodstock) speaks of the tribulations endured by the pioneer settlers in the words following, "The privations and sufferings of these people almost exceed belief. The want of food and clothing in a wild, cold country, was not easily dispensed with or soon remedied. Frequently in the piercing cold of winter a part of the family had to remain up during the night to keep fire in their huts to prevent the other part from freezing. Some very destitute families made use of boards to supply the want of bedding; the father or some of the elder children remaining up by turns, andwarming two suitable pieces of boards, which they applied alternatelyto the smaller children to keep warm; with many similar expedients. .. . I have received the above facts with many other expedients, whichwere at that time adopted by the settlers, from persons of undoubted veracity, and who had been eye witness of what they related." Quite a number of officers and men of De Lancey's first and second battalions drew lots in Parrtown, and amongst them were Major Joseph Green, Captain Jacob Smith, Captain Thomas French, Surgeon Nathan Smith, Quarter Master George Everett, Lieut. Benjamin Lester, Ensigns Nicholas E. Old,Ralph Smith, Geo. Brewerton and Henry Ferguson; Sergeants David Newman, Daniel McSherfry, Patrick McNamara, Thomas Fowler and Edward Neil; Corporals Richard Rogers, Thomas Stanley, Jonas Highby; Privates JamesCraig, Daniel Cummings, Lawrence McDonald. Most of their lots were side by side extending along the south side of Britain street from Wentworth street eastward to Canterbury bay and also including adjoining lots on Broad street where the "Old Ladies Home" now stands.

Early in the year 1784 pioneer settlers of Woodstock proceeded to theplace allotted them for settlement. The leader of the party was Lieut. Benjamin P. Griffith -- afterwards Colonel Griffith of the York county militia. He was born in the then province of New York, July 4th, 1754, and the fact that he received a commission as lieutenant in Lt. Col. Stephen de Lancey's company of de Lancey's brigade, when about twenty-three years of age, shows him to have been a young man of spirit and decision. One of the first engagements in which his company saw active service was in repelling an attack made by the Americans on King'sBridge at the head of Manhattan Island, August 22, 1777, where the 2nd de Lancey battalion was then stationed. The "rebels" were beaten off, but the youthful rashness of Lieutenant Griffith led to his being captured by the enemy. He soon after effected his escape or was exchanged and served gallantly through the war including the southern campaign, to which reference has already been made. At the peace in 1783 he came with his company to St. John. Lt. Col. de Lancey who commanded thecompany did not come to the province, having received the appointmentof chief justice of the Bahamas, and governor of Tobago. Lieut. Griffith's influence with his men is seen in the fact that a larger number of his company were grantees at Woodstock than any other company in the brigade, and more of them became actual settlers.

Doubtless the pioneer party found it a difficult task to propel theirheavily laden boat against the strong current of the upper St. John, the navigation of which was then more difficult than now. The Meducticrapids were a much more serious hindrance to navigation than now owing to the occurrence of dangerous rocks in the channel. During the ensuing summer the grant for the de Lancey battalions was surveyed and the lots for the officers and men were drawn in the usual manner, afterwhich the grant was recorded at Halifax.

Destructive Fire
About 9:30 o'clock, on Wednesday evening, flames were discovered bursting out of the old Churchill house, so called, on the bank of the creek, at the head of Connell street. The alarm was quickly sounded and the steamer got into position at the tank on Chapel street, and had water playing on the flames in a commendably short space of time.
The wind was blowing fiercely at the time, carrying large burning cinders in dense masses in all directions, endangering not only the adjacent buildings but as well many in the direction of the wind far removed from the seat of the fire.
In a little while the water in the tank was exhausted and the steamerhad to be moved down to the creek; this, of course, caused delay, butfortunately without such disastrous consequences as might under the circumstances have been the case. The firemen worked well, and in abouttwo hours had the fire under perfect control.

The following buildings, five in number, were destroyed:
Two houses, owned by G. F. Gregory, Esq., Fredericton; dwelling houseand barn owned by Wm. M. Connell, Esq., and a barn owned by Mr. George Brawn.
Mr. Connell had an insurance of $400. Mr. Gregory's buildings were unoccupied, and in one of these the fire originated, how it is not known, but supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. Mr. Connell's building was occupied as a dwelling by Mr. Isaiah Lockhart, who, we believe, lost nearly all his household effects; Mr. N. Delong and Mrs. Sutton, who were also heavy sufferers through loss and damage to furniture.

Mr. S. McLeod's house was on fire several times, as were also the houses of Mrs. Atkinson and Mr. E. J. Clark, and it was only by careful watching that these buildings were saved from destruction. The members of the U. P. C. were on hand, ready for the performance of duty.
The first lesson to be learned from this fire is the duty of the TownCouncil to have proper approaches to the creek for the steamer provided. This matter that should not be delayed but attended at once.

General Notes: Child - Elizabeth Whipple

---

The best way for me to describe the relationship, is for
example if you have 6,000 people in your data base
that are connected via interlocking marriges, and
you find that you have a marriage that is interlocked into
one of my people in my data base, then they are related
via interlocking marriages, does not matter how distant.
The difference here is that the interlocking into my data
base would link to over 724,091 people via interlocking
marriages.

My hobby is working on interlocking marriages,to any
family surname that is in my data,and I exchange with
people to find them,and to assist them in finding lineage
that link into their families.

1726, 5, 19. John Comer was ordained as assistant. In th e m anuscript
diary of latter, he says, "I was solemnly ordained by
fasting and prayer and imposition of the hands of the Elde r s of the
Church, viz., Mr. Wm. Peckham, Pastor, Mr. Sam'l Maxwell,
Deacon. Mr. Wm. Peckham gave me the charge in these expre s s words. A
coppie--Forasmuch as you have complied
with ye call of ye church to the work of the ministry in t h is place.
I charge thee therefore before God and the Lord Jesns Christ
who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing a n d Kingdom.
Preach the word, be instant in season, reprove, rebuke,
exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. Watch tho u i n all
things, endure affliction. Do the work of an Evangelist. M a ke full
proof of thy ministry. Take heed to thyself and all thy fl o ck over
which the Holy Ghost hath made thee overseer. Give attenda n ce
to reading, to meditation, to doctrine. Study to approve t h yself to
God a workman, y't needeth not be ashamed, rightly
dividing the word of truth. Flee youthful lasts, follow
righteousness, faith, charity, with all those who call o n y e Lord out of
a
pure heart. Administer also the ordinances of the New Test n ment,
Baptism, and the Supper of ye Lord as commanded in ye
holy Scriptures, feed the flock not by Constraint, but wil l ingly, not
for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind. These things I give
thee in charge in the sight of God who quickeneth all thin g s and
before Jesus Christ who before Pontius Pilate witnesse d a g ood
confession--that thon keep this commandment without spot,
unrebukable, until ye appearing of our Lord Jesas Christ , a nd when
the Chief Shepherd shall appear, you shall receive a cro w n of glory
which fadeth not away. And in testimony of your reception
to an equal part in ye work of ye sacred ministry I give y o u my right
hand.' " Mr. Comer tells us, that when he was called to
the church the number of members was 18, of whom 10 were m e n and 8
women. He says he received for salary, to December
of this year, 85, 14s. 6d.
1730, 3, 3. "This day (says Comer) I went to visit Elder P e ckcom, who

1731, 10, 13. John Callender was ordained as colleague wi t h Mr.
Peckham, in place of John Comer. Mr. Callender remained as

Weeden, and Deborah Clarke, all the rest of estate;

Babcock and Allied families by DeForest page 30JOSEPH4 CLA R KE (Thom as 3, John2, John1). He was born 9 December 161 8 i n Westhorpe, Suffol k, Eng land, and baptized 16 Decembe r 161 8 in Westhorpe, Suffolk, Englan d. He d ied 1 June 169 4 in Ne wport, Newport, Rhode Island. Residence: Ne wpor t, N ewport , Rhode Island.
Joseph Clarke evidently came to Boston with his older brot h ers, Thom as a nd John, but he is not mentioned in any reco rd s of that town. He m ay ha ve come in the capacity of a se rva nt to his brother John, as was l ater n oted in a recordi ng o f his lands in Newport, Rhode Island. His br othe r, Dr . Joh n Clarke, was disarmed with others as associates of A n ne Hu t chinson at Boston on 20 November 1637. John and Tho mas lef t t he Massachu setts Bay Colony with the Coddingto n party an d were signe rs of the Aquid neck agreement on 7 M arch 1638 . Joseph Clarke first appe ars on the reco rd whe n he was adm itted an inhabitant of the Island of A quidnec k (at Po rtsmou th) on 24 January 1638/9, and again on 21 Fe brua ry 1638/9 . Howeve r, he soon left Portsmouth for Newpor t, newly fou nd ed by his brother, Jo hn Clarke, and others d issatisfied wit h the gov ernment of Portsmout h. He was admi tted an inhabita nt and made a freem an of Newport at a Ge ne ral Quarter Cour t held there on 17 December 163 9. He was p resent in t he Gen eral Court of Election held at Newpo rt o n 12 March 1640, an d w as listed on the court roll of fre em en on 16 March 1641 . He served on t he grand jury at a Quar ter Sessio ns Court a t Portsmouth on 1 December 16 41. He i s said to have be en on e of the original members of the Fir st Ba ptist Church of Ne wpo rt in 1644, and was certainl y a member in full comm unio n in 1648.
Sometime between March 1643 and 15 March 1644, Joseph Cla r k of Nupo rt h ad his lands in Newport, consisting of fift y a cres, recorded. His l an ds lay in several parcels, one o f th irty acres "lying beyond the mi ll bo unded on the Nort h by t he hie way to Sachuis on the East by Sto ny Riv er o n the Sou th by Robert Fields land," another parcel of 2. 5 ac res be tw een Mr. John Clark's farm and Thomas Clark's c ow pasture , a ho me l ot of 3.5 acres lying next to Mr. [Joh n] Clark' s swamp at the lot 's en d, a "cowes hay" or pastur e at the s outhwest corner of the harbo r, anoth er "cowes ha y" on the e ast side of Stony River, and one ac re of upl an d bounded b y "the Creeke & Thomas Clarks marsh, a way fo r t he bring in g forth of hay & bringing thruw cattle to Joh n Peckams ma rs h & Thom as Clarks marsh excepted." These lan ds, amounting t o 40 acre s, were boug ht by Joseph Clark fo r an unknown su m as evidenced by the t reasurer's re ceipt p roduced by him a t the recording of the land. (An or der iss u ed by the town o n 5 June 1639, divided all meadow lands w ith in Newpo rt a t a rate of 20 "Cowes meat" to 300 acres o f upland, so Jo se ph c an be expected to have given at leas t two or three cow s for h is land.) H owever, Joseph Clark e had an additional
ten ac[re]s more granted unto him by vertue of a certain e d onation g iv en by the sd Towne to certaine Servants th e sd J oseph being serv[ an ]t to mr John Clark w[hi]ch Ten n ac[re] s is layd forth in and w[i] th t he first p[ar]cel l of thirti e all w[hi]ch amounting to the No of Fi ft he ac[ re]s more o r less is fully Impropriated to the sd Joseph C la rk h is hei rs or Assignes for ever.
On 25 December 1644, Joseph Clarke deeded five acres JOSEPH CLARKE of Ne wp ort and Westerly, Rhode Island, was born in Newport, 11th February, 1 64 2; d. in Westerly, 11th January, 1727. He was a large land owner in Wes ter ly; was Town Clerk for thirty years ending 1700, was arrested and fin ed £ 10 by Connecticut Colony, but was reimbursed by Rhode Island Gener al Assem bly; Deputy to General Assembly 1698, 1700, 1702, 1704, 1706, 170 8; memb er Seventh Day Baptist Church 1676, and very prominent in its affa ir s; m. (firstly) Bethiah HUBBARD, b. 19th December, 1646, d. 1707 ( or 3d Ma rch, 1717); m. (second) Hannah (WEEDEN) PECKHAM.of meadow lyi ng on the sou twest side of the harbor in Newport to Robert Stanton of New port. His la nd is also mentioned in the record of highways laid out by Wi lliam Dyre, N icholas Easton, and Mr. John Clarke dated 15 February 165 4. O ne h ighw ay was laid out "from the Mill to Joseph Clarkes.. .towa r ds the great Com ons, and by the side of mr John Clarkes Joseph and Thom as Clarkes lan ds &c being on the east side the reof went the hie way... to mr Eastons Far me...downe to Stony River...and soe came into the Como ns at the Rocks.. ." On March 10, 1656/7, Joseph Clarke was granted a 1/ 5 4th share of the p urchase of Conanicut (later, Jamestown ) and Dutch Isla nds, and he also si gned on behalf of his brother, it being ordered "th at Joseph Clarke sha ll subscribe hereto in the behalf of his Brother M r. John Clarke in Englan d. " Joseph Clarke, of Newport, was also appoint ed to the perpetual counc il that would govern the affairs of Conanic ut at the time of the purchase.
In 16 May 1648, he was made a member of the General Court of Trials to r ep resent the town of Newport, and served on both the grand and petit ju ri es at Warwick on 30 June 1657. H is name appears on a list of the fre em an of the Colony, of Newport, in 1655. From 1655 on, he is refe rr ed to in the records of the Colony as "Mr. Joseph Clarke,"and was a com mis sioner for Newport at the Court of Commissioners held at Portsm ou th on 28 June 1655, at Newport on 19 May 1657, at Portsmouth aga in on 10 M arch 1657/8, at Providence on 17 May 1659, and once more at Por tsmou th on 23 August 1659 . He was made an Assistant (which appears to ha ve be en the same as commissioner) for Newport at the General Court of Ele cti on held at Warwick on 18 May 1658, and served in this capacity at a Ge ner al Court of Trials held at Newport in June 1658, at a meeting of the G ener al Counsel held at Warwick on 14 October 1658, at another General C ou rt of Trials held at Warwick on 16 October 1658, at the General Cou rt of E lection held at Providence on 17 May 1659 , at a General Cou rt of Trials h eld at Newport on 3 Marc h 1659/60, and at a meeting of t he Governor, Depu ty Governor, and Assist ants held at Newport on 25 Novem ber 1663. On 4 Ju ly 1657, at a General Court held at Warwick, Mr. Jose ph Clarke and three o thers were authorized to write a letter to Mr. Jo hn Clarke in England to r equest further judgment of the authorities in En gland in the charges of tr eason brought against William Harris by Roger W illiams. He was also chos en to form a committee with five others at a Gen eral Court of Commissione rs held at Portsmouth on 23 August 1659, to wri te a letter of thanks to M r. John Clarke, to review letters sent to the c olony regarding disputes wi th the "United Colonies , Massachusetts, or Pl ymouth," and to instruct M r. Clarke to take such matters before Parliame nt accordingly. The ta sk of opening letters and informing Mr. Clark e, as well as providing Clar ke with a commission from the Colony, was rea uthorized to Mr. Joseph Clar ke , allowing he was not an Assistant at t he time, and the others at a Gen eral Assembly held at Warwick on 18 Octob er 1660.
On 1 November 1661, Tobias Saunders, Robert Burdick, and Joseph Clar ke we re arrested for taking possession of lands of Southertown, in the Pe quot C ountry, under a warrant issued by the commissioners of the Gener al Cou rt of Massachusetts dated 25 October 1661 to the constable of South ertow n, Walter Palmer. However, Clarke "upon extraordinary occasion wa s, by t he Commissioners [of Southertown] and constable, set at liberty ." Southert own was the name given by Connecticut to the area called Misqu amicutt (lat er Westerly ) by the Rhode Islanders who were settling ther e. Saunders a nd Burdick were taken to Boston, where from testimony they g ave on 14 Nove mber 1661, it is learned that the Court of Rhode Island h ad allowed th em to purchase lands of the Indians there , and Burdick h ad "built a sma ll house there, upon the lot that layed out to him." "Jose ph Clark of Roa de Island, who was also apprehended in the company of t he two former perso ns , being all three in company, was released by the C onstable upon a ve ry urgent occasion." Clarke was the only one identifi ed as of "Road Island ," which indicates that he was a resident of the isl and of Roade Isla nd ( Newport or Portsmouth), and was not residing in Wes terly.
Joseph Clarke's name appears as one of the "purchasers and free inhabit an ts of our island, called Rhode-Island, and the rest of the colonie of P rov idence Plantations" in t h e charter granted to Rhode Island by Charl es I I, King of Great Britain, on 8 July 1663, and by order of this cha rt er he was appointed an assistant to the General Assembl y at New po rt on 1 March 1663/4. He served in this position again at meetin gs of t he General Assembly held at Newport on 4 Ma y 1664, in October 1 66 4, on 23 February 1664/5, and 3 May 1 665. He was not re-elected to th at p osition at the last meeting.
He appears to have had a son, whose name is not known, who was kill ed in 1 662 in unknown circumstances. At a General Court of Trials he ld at Newpo rt on 8 March 1663/4,
Upon accation of some debate in this Court Concearning the Death of a y ou ng neger sarvant to Mr. Benidict Arnold now govenor in the yeare 16 61 s oe Called and alsoe Concearning the Death of a son of Mr Joseph Clar ke n ow assistant in the yeare 1662 the Court declares themselves fully sa tisfi ed in the proceedings taken by the towne of Newport and the office rs ther of to the Enquiers after the Death of the parsones aforesd and th at the pr oceeding aforesayd wear e full y availeable sufficiente and unqu estonab le as to th e Clearing of all parsones from all maner of guilt Rel ati ng to th e Death of the parsones aforesd.
He appears to have lived in Newport for the rest of his life. Some histo ri es say he removed to Westerly, but a detailed study of the Rhode Isla nd Co lony Records shows that it was his son, Joseph, who was made a fre em an of Westerly in 1668, and appears there in 1669, 1671, and 1679. Jo se ph Clarke was appointed on 13 or 14 May 1667, to a committee by t he to wn of Newport to collect 155 pounds for the defense of that town a nd outfi tting the prison. He took leave of grand jury duty in 166 9: at a Cou rt of Trials held a t Newport , 10 May 1669, Mr. Joseph Clark e, who had be en selected by the town of Newport to serve on the grand ju ry , had not ap peared for his term, but considering "how much hee hath be en Imployed form erly and that in this Court his son Joseph w as prevayl ed with to Saply t he place of a grand Jury man. The Court doe Remitt t he aforesd Mr Joseph C larkes fine for not appearing." Mr. Joseph Clarke w as a Deputy for Newpo rt at meetings of the General Assembly held at Newpo rt on 6 May 1668, 28 O ctober 1668, 27 October 1669, 13 October 1670, 26 O ctober 1670, 25 Septemb er 1671 , 5 March 1671/2 , and 2 April 1672.
He was very active in the efforts of Rhode Island to thwart the des ig ns of Massachusetts and Connecticut to take the lands of the Narragan se tt region. On 20 Mar 1664/5, Joseph Clarke was among fourteen men ch os en at Pettasquamscutt to exercise the powers of Justices of the Pea ce or M agistrates for the Naragansett Country, or the King's Provin ce , by ord er of the King's Commissioners. On 2 May 1677, Mr . Joseph Cla rke was elec ted and engaged as an Assistant at a General Assembly and Ele ction he ld at Newport and was appointed to a Court of Justices of the P ea ce to be held in the Narragansett (or King's) Province on the 15 th of M ay for the speedy and peaceful settling of the inhabitants of th at regio n. He was an Assistant at the General Court of Trials held at New po rt on 7 May 1677, and shortly th ereafter took th e acknowledgeme nt of Tho mas and Liddia Burge of Newport on a sale of land in Dartmout h, Plymouth C olony, to Thomas Ward of Newport on 27 June 1677, in the cap acity of an As sistant. He was an Assistant at the General Court of Tria ls held at Newpo rt on 24 October 1677, 6 Ma y 1678, 23 October 1678, 17 M ay 1679, and 22 O ctober 1679 , and at General Assemb lies held at Newpo rt on 30 April 16 7 8, 1 May 1678, 25 Marc h 1679, 6 May 1679, 17 Septemb er 16 79 (at Westerly ), an d 4 May 1680. On 9 July 1679, he was a mong fo ur men, includ ing t he Governor and Deputy Governor , who supplied 18 pou nd s, 8 shillin gs in partial payment t o Mr. Arnold of 60 pound s the lat er paid to Cap t. Randal l Howldon and Capt. John Gr eene of Warwick on be half of th e Co lony. On 23 June 1681, t hese four petitioned the Gen er al Assembly for re payment o f the moneys they paid, which w as granted .
A "mr. Clarke" mentioned as holding 17 acres at Stony Riv e r in New po rt on behalf of John Alcock, deceased, for th e so n of the latt er in an i nventory dated 8 August 1677, m ay ha ve been Joseph Clark e, as he held la nd near Stony Riv er (se e above). In 1680, Joseph Clar ke of Newport was t axe d Ð1 13 s 3d. Mr. Joseph Clarke, "my loving friend ," was ma de an ov e rseer of the estate of Rev. Obadiah Holmes in th e wi ll o f the latter, da ted 9 April 1681.

He was married to Mary Clarke.(226) Until quite recently the marriage of John Peckham and Mary Clarke (sister of Doctor John Clarke ), was a matter of supposition supported by purely circumstantial eviden ce. The late researches of Mr . Byron J. Peckham in the early records of Bristol County , Massachusetts, at Taunton, have settled by absolute record evidence the question of this marriage.
Concerning Mary Clarke, John Peckham's first wife, the line of whose descent has been fully established, a Bible which belonged to her brother, Doctor John Clarke, which contains several generations preceding and follow ing their advent in America, is still in existence, in the possession of
Professor Doctor John C. C. Clarke of Upper Alton, Ill.
329. Mary Clarke died before 1648. Children were:
i. John Peckham was born about 1645 in Newport, Newport, R I . He died about 1712.
ii. William Peckham.
iii. Mary Peckham.
iv. Thomas Peckham.
John married Mary CLARKE, daughter of Thomas CLARKE and Rose KERIDGE, about 1637. Mary was christened 17 Jul 1607 in Westhorp, Suffolk, England. She died 1648 in Newport, Newport , Rhode Island.
Mary was christened 26 Jul 1607 in Westhorpe, Suffolk, Engl and.

Mary Clarke probably came to the Colonies at the same time as her brothers, Thomas, John and Joseph, and probably married John Peckham after arriving in Rhode Island as she was apparently granted land by the to wn of Newport, possibl y before her marriage. Mary Clark of Newport had her land in Newport recorded immediately after that of John Peckham , so meti me between March 1641 and 16 March 1642. Her land s consisted of 40 acres "lying upon the millbrook alias ham brook." Peckham's land also lay near the Hambrook mill. I t seems unlikely that the town would grant b oth in dividuals land if they were already married. Two deeds, one from Joshua Coggeshall to Walter Cunigrave dated 30 May 1651, and one from Walter Cunigrave to John Green dated 6 June 1651 , describe lands in Newpo rt adjoining "land granted by th e Town of Newport unto Mary Clarke now deceased some time the wife of John Peckham," the first of which deeds was witnessed by John and Elizabeth Clarke, probably the brother o f Mary Clarke and his wife.

Mary PECKHAM (John ) was born 1643 in Newport, Newport Co., Rhode Island. She died 1695 in Westerly, Kings Co., Rhode Island.

Mrs. Louise Prosser Bates of Westerly, a highly educated woman and descended from Tobias Saunders and Joseph Clarke and William Crumb, spent years in research of original records in Westerly and left her papers by bequest to the state of RI. Unfortunately they have never been printed. The following is from her papers: "The first wife of Joseph Clarke (brother of Dr. John Clarke who is often called the founder of Newport, RI) was a sister of Tobias Saunders. Tobias married Mary Peckham, daughter of John Peckham and Mary Clarke, sister of Joseph Clarke. Tobias and Mary (Peckham) Saunders had a daughter Mercy Saunders who was the first wife of William Crumb (Daniel-1)." This statement is included in the Genealogy of the Peckham.
Conclusive proof is found in disposition of the estate of James Peckham, son of John & Mary Peckham who died unmarried and intestate 26 Jeb 1711/2. One 25 Dec 1712, Peter & Elizabeth (Saunders) Barker were among James' heirs giving a power of attorney to Philip and William Peckham and John Taylor to sell James' realty. Elizabeth (Saunders) Babcock and her husband James Babcock appointed her brother-in-law, Peter Barker, to "receive in charge, all legacies...[from the estate of] their honored uncle James Peckham." On 19 May 1712, Edward, John, Stephen and Benjamin Saunders appointed their brother-in-law Peter Barker to transact business for them and their sister, Elizabeth. (Bristol Co. Deeds 8:70).
