This Peck family evidently wants to be reseached. Their ghosts are
interferring with my work.
I noted some Bacon family wills, and hoping to track down the ultimate
proof for who the rebel Nathaniel Bacon was (please don't quote
secondary sources at me), I was perusing these wills.
This particular part of the Bacon family I had not seen before. The
Wills mostly have to deal with the Bacons of Hedgsett Hall (aka,
Hessett, aka Heggesett), co Suffolk. The editor notes that Thomas
Bacon, Gent of Heggesett, with Will dated 10 Mar 1546/7 was a son of
John Bacon of Drinkstone. And that that Robert Bacon of Drenkestone
who m Isabel Gage (or Cage) and who I had already *known* were the
parents of Sir Nicholas Bacon, Keeper of the Great Seal.... was his
brother.
That is that Robert Bacon of Drenkestone, was the eldest son of John
Bacon of Drenkstone and that Thomas Bacon of Hedgsett was Robert's
brother.
Which is great, as Robert is a Cecil 5
Robert Bacon, father of
Sir Nicholas Bacon who married secondly
Anne Cooke, sister of
Mildred Cooke, who married as his second wife
William Cecil son of
Richard Cecil
So in linking up, adding, expanding, these new connections I ran into
this
Robert Bacon + Isabella Gage parents of
James Bacon, Sheriff of London 1568 +secondly Margaret Rawlins parents
of
Sir James Bacon of Friston Hall (d 1618) + Elizabeth Bacon parents of
James Bacon, Rector of Burgate, Suffolk (d 9 Nov 1649), "second son" +
Martha Honywood
This link
http://content.ancestry.com/Browse/Book ... Bacon&cr=1
states that after James Bacon died, Martha his widow married secondly
that same Rev Robert Peck, Record of Higham who we all know by now,
went to the Colonies for a while, then came back and died at Higham in
1656
They also state that his daughter by his first, unnamed, wife was one
Anne Peck who married John Mason of Seabrook, Connecticut. Another
source gives this marriage date as Jul 1639.

Yep, widow Martha (Honeywood) Bacon is known to have been Robert
Peck's second wife (I have it right there in the little book I
produced in high school detailing all of Oliver Macy's ancestors [what
a little nerd I was]).
She also appears in Gary Boyd Roberts' book, _Ancestors of American
Presidents_, as an ancestor, by her first husband, of William Henry
Harrison and Benjamin Harrison.

Those Warner's sure were cut-ups
http://books.google.com/books?id=AT8GAA ... #PPA300,M1
"...if the said Edward Warner [my son] shall after my decease, loose
at play at cards, dice, tables or any other game or games, above the
sum of twenty shillings in money... in one day..."
I guess Sir Henry wasn't too keen on his sons wanton ways.
