The Descendants of
John Peet Sr.
John Peet was born circa 1597 in Duffield, County Derby, England, and married Sarah Osborn circa 1619 in England. He, his wife, and their daughter Mary emigrated to New England on the Hopewell and settled first in Massachusetts. They were among the first families in the new settlement of Stratford, Connecticut. This book provides the details the first four generations of the family and gives the names of generation five. The Peet family is discussed in The History of Stratford and Bridgeport, Connecticut by the Reverend Samuel Orcutt published in 1886. It is also briefly covered in The Families of Old Fairfield by Donald Lines Jacobus. These works contain a information on the early generations. They do a reasonable job on the male lines. However, female lines are incomplete or scattered among other families. A more modern treatment of this family was done in 1986 by Terry Charles Peet, but it is out of print. This new genealogy adds information on the female lines and corrects some errors for the first five generations found in the cited works. Research is underway to extend this genealogy to the present. Biographical material is added. Detailed source references are given, often to primary records. Along with the text are photographs of tombstones. There are indexes of people and places. The book is bound in soft-cover and is printed on acid-free paper.
