   Robert Peck Jr. Birth: 28 Nov 1546 Beccles, Waveney District, Suffolk, England Death: Mar 1593 (aged 46) Chelmsford, Chelmsford Borough, Essex, England Burial: St Michael's Parish Churchyard, Beccles, Waveney District, Suffolk, England Memorial #: 58739739 Bio: Robert was a large property owner in East Anglea, England. Robert Peck, the father of Joseph the ancestor, and Rev. Robert, his older brother, was also the son of Robert. He was of Beccles, Suffolk County; born in 1546 and died in 1593, aged forty-seven. The position which he occupied in society was that known in England as gentleman or gentry entitled to coat-armor, etc., and at that time, before the title of Baronet* was given, next to the nobility, or the title honored.*(This order was instituted by James I. in 1611). In 1868, Ira Peck recorded the following in his book,"From all the information I obtained in relation to the name there, it is evident that this branch was one of much distinction. Among all the coats of arms, charts and records which I obtained in relation to other branches, there were none apparently so ancient or upon which the Heralds had bestowed so much labor as upon those of this branch of our patronymic." "He married Helen Babbs, daughter of Nicholas Babbs, of Guilford. She may also have been known as Eleanor. His children were Richard, who died without issue; Nicholas, who married Rachel, daughter of William Young; Robert, Rector at Hingham; Joseph, the Ancestor here; Margaret, Martha and Samuel." "He was a man of wealth, consisting of lands, houses, etc. His will was found at Ipswich after a tedious search. It was written with his own hand." According to the will, it was written when Robert was very ill, at Chemisfforde (Chelmsford), Essex which is south of Beccles. More complete information on Robert and the Peck family can be found in "A Genealogical History of the Descendants of Joseph Peck...." by Ira Ballou Peck in 1868. Acccording to Todd Whitesides: "he was buried March 26, 1593 at St Mary's, Chelmsford Cathedral, Essex. He was described as 'gentleman of Becles in Suffolk'. It is now believed he was buried at St Michael's in Beccles rather than Chelmsford according to Darrell L. Peck's "Peck Family History" 2018.

   When it comes to administrating, building and maintaining the site, Find A Grave is largely operated by its founder, Jim Tipton. Jim created the Find A Grave website in 1995 because he could not find an existing site that catered to his hobby of visiting the graves of famous people. He found that there are many thousands of folks around the world who share his interests. What began as an odd hobby became a livelihood and a passion. Building and seeing Find A Grave grow beyond his wildest expectations has been immensely satisfying for Jim. Every day, contributors from around the world enter new records, thousands use the site as an educational reference tool, long-lost loved ones are located and millions of lives are fondly remembered. In what other line of work would Jim have met one of the last living Munchkins, spoken to a gathering of grave enthusiasts in a Hollywood mausoleum and acquired treasures like his antique coffin screwdriver (it only screws in)?
