Note on Birthdate

Ira Ballou Peck's Genealogical History of the Descendants of Joseph Peck shows Joseph Peck with only one son named Samuel, baptized 3 February 1638/9 in Hingham, Massachusetts. (See Peck-113.) However, Lincoln's History of the town of Hingham, Massachusetts shows the births of two sons named Samuel, with the second son who was baptized in 1646 being the one who survived.[1]

Biography

Samuel Peck was baptized 19 July 1646 in Hingham, Massachusetts, a son of Joseph Peck and his second wife. Two other children of the family were baptized that same day. Another son named Samuel had been baptized several years earlier, and is assumed to have died young.[1][2]
In about 1645 his family removed from Hingham to Rehoboth (Seekonk) , where Samuel lived for the rest of his life. He was a deacon of the church, held several town offices, was a Deputy to the General Court of the Plymouth Colony in 1689 and 1692, and was the town's first representative after the Plymouth Colony was united with the Massachusetts Colony in 1692.[3]
Deacon Samuel Peck died in Rehoboth, Massachusetts, on 30 April 1708. [4]

What was the basis for merging Samuel Peck-2823 into Peck-111?

According to unsourced merged-away profile Samuel Peck-2823, he was born in Hingham in Feb 1638 and died in Hingham in Feb 1708. Samuel Peck-111 was baptized in Hingham in July 1646 and died April 1708 in Rehoboth. That looks like two completely different people.

The Peck-2823 profile had no father until 30 minutes before the merge was done, when Peck-103 was connected as the father. Peck-103 had two sons named Samuel. The one born February 1638 died young. It looks like Peck-2823 was given his birth date, so maybe Peck-2823 was an amalgam of the two brothers, but where did the death date & place on Peck-2823 come from? Some other Samuel Peck?

Peck-2823 and Peck-111 appear to represent the same person because: These are the same people due to dates, parents, and spouses

Smith-62120 Ellen Smith
Peck-1409 and Peck-111 appear to represent the same person because: Similar birthdate, same wife. Joseph Peck had one son named Samuel who lived to adulthood. This profile appears to represent that Samuel.

The Peck Genealogy says that son Samuel was born in Hingham, Mass., and baptized 3 February 1638/9. Other sources say that Samuel Peck died young, and a second son named Samuel was baptized 19 July 1646. Peck-111 represents the son who lived to adulthood, and shows the 1646 baptism date.
