He came over as a boy with his father in 1638, from Hingham, Norfolk, to Hingham, Massachusetts, in the Diligent. His father's holograph will left him "my gould Ringe," and a deathbed addition recorded by the sons gave him "half his meddow that hee purchased of Mr Bradford lying on the further side of the new Meddow River" (Plymouth Colony wills, printed by Ira Peck pp. 19-20).

At Rehoboth he and his wife Hannah raised eight children (Rehoboth VR p. 703): Rebecka 1650; Hannah, Mar 25, 1653; Elizabeth 1657, who married Capt. Samuel Mason; Jathniel 1660; Mary 1662; Ichabod 1666; Patience 1669; and Samuel 1672.

On 6 Sept 1661 "Lieutenant Hunt and Joseph Peck were chosen to view the damage in the Indians' corn upon Kickamuet neck, and Consumpsit neck" (Bliss, History of Rehoboth, p. 52 [?]): he or perhaps his father, who lived at Rehoboth until 1663. English cattle in Wampanoag corn was one of the grievances Philip's council laid before the Rhode Island magistrates in June 1675 (John Easton's relation, in Narratives of the Indian Wars, p. 11).

King Philip's War. Rehoboth was burned on 28 Mar 1676 (Bliss p. 95). He was charged £2 10s in the town's rate for the war, which Bliss prints as a "catalogue ... of those who, at one period of the war, made advances of money" (pp. 117-118). That August the town buried "PECKE Nathaniell, the 25th of August, 1676" and "A young child of Nicholas Pecke" (Vital Record of Rehoboth, p. 900). A year later, in August 1677, his daughter Hannah married Daniel Read.

His will is dated 5 July 1697, with a codicil of 11 Mar 1701 (as transcribed). It leaves "unto my daughter Hannah wife of Daniel Reed & to her heirs forever all my medow in the north purchase & twenty pounds".
