Note nav van mail van Deborah Talley: You said that Jan Peeck was born in The Netherlands. It is my understanding that no one seems to have found him on any ship manifests and, although he left from Holland, some think he was British or the descendants of English people who fled to Holland.

In 1657, he and his wife were summoned to testify in a matter involving a dispute between Dirck Holgerson and Jan Perie. The summary of their testimony is as follows:
[Jan. 27, 1657] "Dirck Holgersen, pltf. vs Jan Peeck and his wife, Mary, defts. Pltf. requests that defts., whom he has summoned as witnesses in the case between him and Jan Perie, cooper, would please testify to the truth. Jan Peeck therefore declared that in the morning as he lay abed, he saw Jan Perie and Dirck Holgersen playing at dice together on the floor for a . . . and heard Jan Perie, while playing, give Dirck Holgersen frequently the lie, whereupon Dirck Holgersen contradicted, anda fist fight followed; and as he, deponent, said to them that he could easily sell his wine without trouble, they went away, without his knowing anything more. Mary d'Peeck, also heard, confirms the declaration of her husband above given and declares she afterwards heard Jan Perle say, "There's Dirck the Noorman, who has a box of seawan in his sack, and he should play or the Devil Should rake him"; also That Jan Perie's man told her, he saw his master thrust his knife into Dirck Noorman's truss.
