John PECKHAM

• Name	John PECKHAM  [1, 2]
  	Residence: Newport. He married first Mary Clarke, the sister of John Clarke. He married second Eleanor (?). According to Stephen Farnam Peckham in his Genealogy: "John Peckham no doubt came to Boston with Sir Henry Vane in 1634 and he probably met there Mary Clarke who accompanied her brother John Clarke to Boston at about the same time. The acquaintance resulted in marriage of which no record can be found. He probably was one of the party called the Ann Hutchinson party, who founded a settlement on the north end of Rhode Island, which became the town of Portsmouth. In 1640 the bounds of his land were established." On 20 May 1638 his name appeared on a list as one of those admitted as an inhabitant of Portsmouth. He became a freeman in 1641. In 1648 his second wife Eleanor was baptized. His residence was in that part of Newport which is now Middletown, and a stone marked J.P. is supposed to mark his grave. [1]
