Esther Peck was born 7 Jan 1657/8 in Rehoboth, Bristol County, Massachusetts the daughter of John Peck and his wife, Elizabeth (Hunting) Peck (Rehoboth, MA Vital Records, page 703). She was married 29 Dec 1680 in Rehoboth, Massachusetts to Jonathan Wilmarth (Rehoboth, MA Vital Records, page 403).
She was buried at the Briggsville Burial Ground, which in the past was more commonly known as the Wilmarth Family Burial Ground. The land was donated by her son, Stephen Wilmarth, in 1724, to be used as a burying place. It is located on Park Street near the Rehoboth and Attleboro town lines. At the end of the nineteenth century, the Briggsville Burial Ground was in deplorable shape. One commentator noted:
“Very few stones are to be found at the present time, and those still standing will soon disappear if left alone. Possibly some might be found by digging beneath the surface, though attempts made in that direction have met with no result; either therefore there were none erected at many of the graves, or they have been totally destroyed.”
