Notes:

He was an early settler of New Haven, CT, along with Dea. William Peck and Joseph Peck. The three men were probably related, though no direct proof has been found. Henry was an earl, but not original subscriber to the Fundamental Agreement at New Haven in 1643, signing by mark (H); and he and Joseph Peck took the oath of fidelity 1 Jul 1644. William was an original proprietor and is the only one of the three shose name appears in the list of palnters and estates drawn up as early as 1640-1. Since Joseph did not marry until 1650, it seems likely that he was a member of Henry's household and bery probably was his brother as they were mentioned together in several records.
His will was dated 30 Oct 1651 and was presented at the New Haven Town Court on 2 May 1654. It was not signed or sealed, but was witnessed by William Pecke, John Moss and Sam: Whitehead and approved. The will reads as follows:
"The Last Will and Testamt of Henry Pecke: The 30th 8th moneth 1651 Henry Pecke being weake and near his Change, yet haueing the vse of his Understanding, desires in The first place, To reigne vp his soule to God; And for that Portion of outward Blessing God hath giuen him, To dispose them thus.
