• Mary Clark of Nuport had her land in Newport recorded immediately aft that of John Peckham, sometime bet Mar 1641 & 16 Mar 1642.
  • Her lands consisted of 40 acres "lying upon the millbrook alias hambrook."
  • Peckham's land also lay near Hambrook mill. It seems unlikely town would grant both individuals land if already married. 2 deeds, 1 from Joshua Coggeshall to Walter Cunigrave dated 30 May 1651, & 1 from Walter Cunigrave to John Green dated 6 Jun 1651, describe lands in Newport adjoining "land granted by the Town of Newport unto Mary Clarke now deceased some time the wife of John Peckham," 1st of which deeds was witnessed by John & Elizabeth Clarke, prob bro of Mary Clarke & his wife.
