CORRECTION:
With this and other citations, in the REGISTER series, the conclusions:

John Leeke had a dau. Margery who married second son of
Richard Peck=Alice Middleton, who was the father of Margery,
and
father-in-law of HENRY,
who was thusly the grandfather of Robert Peck, the Elder, of Beccles.

**************************

Much thanks for that citation, Will.

I do believe based on the REGISTER series of articles cited in my
previous post, that this proposed pedigree of John as father of
Robert Peck, the Elder, is flawed. The authors, Stanhope and
S. Allyn Peck refuted that lineage in the 1930s. Again: I will
post detailed notes, forthcoming.

Let me clarify:

[Note 1: 1939 NEHGSRegister, April, page 178,
"Additional Material Relating To The Leekes and Pecks of Beccles,
co. Suffolk, From the Record of the Court of Requests, Robert Young
v. Robert Peck and Katherin Drawer, Wife of Thomas Drawer,"
"...complainant sold to John Leke of Beccles,tanner...[certain items]
...now afterwards said Leke made his last will and testament and
appointed Robert Pekke (Peck) and Katherine Drawer, wife of
Thomas Drawer...."
"[This case should be compared with the statements about the will,
family, executors, etc., of John Leeke of Beccles given in the REGISTER,
vol. 89, pp. 334-339 (October 1935), the reader keeping in mind the
fact that Robert Peck, one of the executors of the will of John Leeke
should probably be regarded as a grandson, rather than a nephew of
John Leeke. See Editorial Note in REGISTER, vol. 91, p. 7 (January 1937)."

With this and other citations, in the REGISTER series, the conclusions:

John Leeke had a dau. Margery who married second son of
Richard Peck=Alice Middleton, who was the father-in-law of Henry,
who was thusly the grandfather of Robert Peck, the Elder, of Beccles.

I wish to categorically state that I do not find John Peck as father
of Robert Peck, the Elder, of Beccles, although there are other
Roberts in John's line, not to be confused with Robert, the Elder.

I apologize for seeking confirmation of the 1930s conclusions,
but it did bear fruition with John Higgins finding of Alice Middleton
found as dau. of Sir Peter Middleton in the Visitations.
