Biography

Sarah Peck, daughter of Paul and Martha Peck, was born in 1659 in Hartford, Connecticut. ^{[1] [2]}

Sarah (Peck) Clark died in May 1696, less than six months after the death of her father Paul Peck, Sr. ^[2] She is named in his will as his daughter Sarah Clark. ^[1] It was "natural and customary" for children in a will to be named in order of birth, eldest to youngest, and when Paul Peck, Sr. placed his daughter Sarah Clark after her sisters Martha, Mary and Elizabeth, that plus information about her brothers birth dates helped place her birth date more exactly to 1659.^[1]
