Henry Peck, of Carlton Colville

Not the son of Richard Peck of Wakefield, gent. & Alice Peck.

Spurious pedigree

From Nat Taylor at https://groups.google.com/g/soc.genealogy.medieval/c/N_yyaqQn4tk

The alleged Yorkshire connection comes from a 20-generation pedigree supplied in 1853 to wealthy American descendant Ira Peck by none other than Horatio Gates Somerby, the prolific forger. It is gently impugned by S. Allyn Peck, without being too bald in fingering Somerby. Somerby told Ira Peck it can be found in BL MS Add. 5524, folio 152 (recte 158), and S. Allyn Peck printed a facsimile, in five plates tipped in before NEHGR 90 (1936):371.
