Bio and Links
Bio Photo Researching one's genealogy is a bit like a treasure hunt. As you learn more and more about your ancestors, surprises keep occuring. I am thankful to all the people who have taken the time to research the past. I aim to contribute as well. I am working on my Peck ancestry which goes back to Joseph and some of his immigrant sons who arrived in 1638. Other names include Vanderwerker, Van Patten, Shoup/Shoop/Schupp, McNeil, Cramer, Paine, McDougall, Lant, Reid, Campbell, Wagman, Foster, Cushman, Grandy, Bartlett, Haverly, Duesler, Snell, Wendell, Glen, etc. I get great satisfaction in discovering and entering these historical records, before they are lost for good. Most of my entries are in New york, MA, RI, CT and New Jersey. I am a retired science teacher. I have completed 10 Earthwatch expeditions and travelled to over 60 countries. Climbing mountains is also appealing having been up Kilimanjaro, Whitney, Olympus, Rysy and others. Genealogy is another fun and productive way to spend my time.
One of my great joys is to visit villages where my ancestors lived before coming to America. In 2010 I visited Hingham and Beccles, Enland where the paternal Pecks lived in the 1500 and 1600's. We also visited Petten, Holland for the maternal Van Pattens and Meppel, Holland for the Van Alstynes and Vanderwerkers. I recently visited Scotland for the McNeils and Reids and then the Mozel Valley in the Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany for the Shoups/Schupps and Mais lines.

Hello
I hope you did not misunderstand me. Robert is buried in The 1st Presbyterian Cemetery. It just that his headstone cannot be found.

RE: James Peck Millard
I have an ancestry account. Every new adult male name I add to Find A Grave, I look up on Ancestry. If I find a tree there, I assume someone is researching that individual, so I give them the link to the Find A Grave entry. Occasionally I'll use Ancestry info to help me sort out relationships.

Peck families
Dave, I will be getting back to you soon. Glad to find a Peck genealogist on-board. Do you know about the old books, "Peck's Bad Boys"? I have a book or two.

I have a Hannah Peck marrying a Moseley/Mosley I think it is. Will get back to you.

Glad to help. Interesting that Lucy only mentioned the mother and Rozemon mentioned both parents.
