REF: George Braden Roberts, GENEALOGY OF JOSEPH PECK & SOME RELATED FAMILIES; ; State College, PA. 1955; ; Family History Library Book 929.273 P334r, Fiche 6049146; NOTES: Johann lived in Ebingen and was Burger of that town.
The name in Germany was Von Beck. When they came to America the Von was dropped and they were called Beck. The Americans changed the B to P. and they have ever since been called Peck. (Beck was pronounced Peck in German). The Pecks were tall, strong, industrious folk. Most of the men were six feet tall and many of them were taller. The
earliest knowledge we have of this family comes from the Church Records of Ebingen, a small town in Wurttemberg, Germany, where they lived through many generations. Ebingen, located about 50 miles north of the northern boundary of Switzerland and about 50 miles east of the eastern boundary of France, nestled down between the mountains of
the northern escarpment of the Alps, in a rather narrow valley through which flows the Schmk River, a tributary at the western extremity of the Danube. It is separated from the Rhine River by a low divide. Ebigen had a population of about 500 in the year 1600. It has an elevation of 2330 feet above the sea level and is maintained principally by agriculture. lt's population in 1951 was more than 17,000.
