Mary Peacock was the daughter of Joyce and John Peacock. (1)  She married Benjamin Beach about 1670. (2) Her father died in 1670 and in 1678 her sister, Phebe Peacock, distributed their father's land.  Mary Peacock had three children with Benjamin Beach and apparently died about the time of the land distribution. (3)   It's possible she died as a result of a fourth pregnancy.
