In Savage's recent publication she is listed as born in 1622. In a medical entry by Gov. John Winthrop, physician, on 23 Mar 1666 she is listed at age 45 making her birthdate around 1621 like in CD 100. CD-100 also gives a different birthplace, Kings Waldon, ENG. However, it is now accepted by genealogists that her age of 45 was a general estimate. Her baptismal record has been found in Watton, ENG as the daughter of John and Martha Hale dated 1618. In this medical record it states that she was the sister of Samuel Hale of Wethersfield and Thomas Hale of Charlestown, Mass.
She is likely the Martha Peck in the court records in Mar 7 1699/1700 bringing suit against Paul and Samuel Peck for refusing to make payments to her as willed by her husband. These are probably her son, Paul, and his son Samuel. This was settled out of court. However, If Sheryl Gustafson's death date for her of June 25, 1695 is accurate, than this court case does not apply to our Martha.
This family supposedly came from "Woten-on-the-Edge", Glouchester, England. This could be another name for "Walden" which is a part of the place names for Martha's possible preceeding generations.
It should be noted that there is still some controversy on her parentage as written in TAG Vol 38, p. 237 by S. Allyn Peck, "Have we Found the Parents of Thomas, Samuel, and Martha Hale of Connecticut?"
