In fact,
the Rev. Robert was the first pastor of the church in Hingham in

What rubbish. These Pecks are not famous either place, by any
reasonable definition of the word, except in the overinflated views of
their descendants. Do you know who Philip Hastwell was? Graduate of
Oxford (a notable university where they crafted the King James Bible)
and preacher - that makes his family famous, doesn't it? How about
Gamaliel Beamont? Same with him. That being said, it is probably
beyond _your_ comprehension, as seem to be the principles of
scholarship and of the use of evidence in pre-colonial genealogy.
