JOSEPH PECK resided at first at New Haven, Conn. His name does not appear upon the records until about 1643, although he is generally supposed to have resided there earlier, and to have been the brother of Henry, who settled there in 1638, with whom he seems to have resided, or associated, and with whom he probably came over to this country. Who his ancestors were has not been learned. I found none of his descendants who would take interest enough in the subject to assist in doing so. He left New Haven about 1649, and settled at Milford. He became a member of the church there in 1652. He was twice married: first, to Mrs. Alice [Heath] Burwell, widow of John Burwell; second to Miss [Mary] Richards. The house in which he resided has but recently been taken down. It stood near the present residence of Capt. Cornelius B. Peck, a great-great-great-grandson (who resides upon a portion of the ancient homestead) and must have been more than two hundred years old. Its appearance was exceedingly unique and ancient, --two stories in front, in the lean-to style, sloping back to about six feet in rear, with a gable end to the street. He died in 1700-1. . . .
