A plea to those who perpetuate bad limbs on their family trees
There are many in the genealogy world who copy erroneous information to their family trees, picking the rotten limbs off other trees and passing them on and on. This blog is created in a hope of helping to end some of this. It does no one any good to pass on misinformation and blatantly fraudulent branches on your tree. Put some effort into your work and produce a tree your family can be proud of, accurate and reliable.

William Peck of New Haven
There's no information regarding the ancestry of William or of the surname of Elizabeth his wife. I've seen her name given as Holt, but that was the married name of his second wife. His father's names are given as William, Stephen or Edward of London. I guess someone picked up on Edward's will and because he named a son William, made the leap. But that William married a Greene and never left London. Of William and Stephen. Don't know where they came from. So far as is known at present, no parents of William have been identified. Whether he even came from London isn't known for sure. The records of the London area that are available on Google books lists William or Jeremiah in birth or marriage records. It's good to know that no one associates him with the Wakefield branch anymore. Until proven, that's a wash.
