Anne married Rev Robert Peck about 1604, had at least 6 children and lived 56 years. In her husband's 1651 will, he directed that his body be buried in the Hingham Churchyard by his first wife "near unto Anne my wife deceased". One record shows Anne Pecke's death as Sept. 30, 1648.

She was "of an armigerous family. Anne's brother, John Lawrence of Wramplingham, co. Norfork., (d. 1685), Mayor of Norwich 1667, a Quaker himself, did not make an extensive declaration to the herald in 1664, evidently to avoid bringing his kin into danger as tainted with religious rebellion. It is clear from the above few notes that Anne (Lawrence) Peck came from gentelfolk deeply compromised with Nonconormity. This makes for certain difficulties in tracing her family."

Robert Peck's will, states "All my other goods cattells debts moneys household stuffe or whatsoever ells belongeth unto me I give and bequesath to my said Executors toards payeinge of my legacies alrerdy bequeathed and toward the bringinge of my body to buriall which I desire if I depart his lie in Hingham may be entered in the church yard near unto Anne my wife deceased."
