PECKHAM FAMILY

   The following line was worked out for a client by the Family Records Bureau for the purpose of proving her eligibility to membership in the Society of Daughters of Founders and Patriots of America. This line traces back to the Archbishop of Canterbury.

JOHN PECKHAM was born in England and baptized Apr. 8. 1595. In 1634 he was chaplain to the Earl of Hertford
     and there is no doubt but that as chaplain to that nobleman he made the acquaintance of Sir Henry Vane, the

ham from his allegiance to the Church of England. These more or less extreme views may be described in the language of that day as those of a Baptist Lollard. John Peckham was in Rhode Island in 1638. He is supposed to have come to Boston in 1634 with Sir Henry Vane. In Boston, he met Mary Clarke, who had accompanied her brother, Dr. John Clarke, to Boston. While John Peckham's name does not appear in the list of those disarmed in Boston, nor among the followers of Wheelwright, nor one of the signers of the Portsmouth Covenant, yet he must have been one of the party known as the Ann Hutchinson Party, who founded a settlement on the north end of Rhode Island, the town of Portsmouth. On March 16, 1641, he was admitted a freeman. In 1641 he was one of the ten male members of the First Baptist Church of Newport in full communion. He had five children by his first wife, Mary Clarke. After her death he married, Eleanor (probably born Peckham) by whom he had seven children. John Peckham died in 1681 and Mary Clarke in 1648.
