Looking for accurate dates for the births and marriage dates of Otis and Jason Peck. And was there a second Otis, son of Otis? Amaziah was born in Rehoboth, MA. Looking for the accurate line from Amaziah Peck to Otis, to Jason, Eliza C. Peck (m. James Thwing)in Barre and central Vermont

Ah, the question of the hour...I have researched Amaziah extensively and this is what I believe to be true: Amaziah is a son of Israel Winchester Peck, from his first marriage to Elizabeth Carpenter. The fact that Israel's and Amaziah's wives were related and the fact that when Israel's returned to Rehoboth after being warned out the first time Amaziah first appeared in town and Amaziah married Hannah and Israel took a new wife. The family was again warned out of town and the Carpenters travled with them to Swanzey, NH (Israel's first wife's cousin was a Rev. which was Hannah's uncle). The reason they were warned out of town is a long story. The Israel Peck family came back and forth between NH & MA several times before settling in VT. NH was unsettled and indian raids on the settlements ran rapid. It is difficult to accurately calculate Amaziah's birth-there are several on-line accounts and records which vary quite a bit. I have calculated his birth to be 7/20/1741 or possibly 1740 and his son Otis: 4/22/1790. Feel free to e-mail me to discuss any of this further.
