From "Descendants of Joseph Peck" by Ira Peck pub 1868. Ichabod Peck settled in that part of Attleborough, MA now Cumberland, RI. He purchased lands of John Sweetland as early as 1721, lying at the north end of Red Earth Hill, on each side of the road to Diamond Hill. It appears from the records at Taunton, and the Proprietors' Records, of Attleborough, that he was the owner of large tracts of land, laid out to him upon his own, and upon the rights of his father and grandfatner, in the common lands. His son Benjamin was administrator upon his estate (Cumberland Probate Records Book 5, p.97 and 350. His gravestone has not been found. Perhaps it was just a fieldstone like the one pictured.
