!IDENTITY: Bob Stewart (email hidden), in email to the Whipple Website on 3 Nov 2004, asked if this individual might be the "'Judge' Addison S. Peck of Aurora, Nevada, in 1864. Could he be the same man? Addison was a presidential elector for Lincoln that year, but could not cast his vote because all the roads to Aurora were washed out." N. Combs responded to Bob's query with the following:
I cannot say if Judge Addison S. Peck who was a presidential elector in Nevada in 1864 is the same as Dr. Addison S. Peck who married Jane S. Whipple. However, here are some similar dates for you to consider:
- a gravestone (transcribed and posted on NEHGS) in The Center Cemetery, Dunbarton, NH has a death date of April 5, 1865 for Addison S. Peck, age 56 at death;
- the April 12, 1866 issue of the "Territorial Enterprise," Virginia City, Nevada noted the death on April 5, 1866 of Dr. A. S. Peck;
- a contributor to Ancestry.com's Ancestry World Tree noted that Addison Sumner Peck, son of Gustavus Darling and Sally (Perry) Peck and husband of Jane Stinson Whipple, died April 6, 1866.
Jane Stinson (Whipple) Peck's gravestone in The Center Cemetery, Dunbarton, NH shows her date of death as January 19, 1864. Addison, Jane, and their son Benjamin were enumerated on the 1860 Easthampton, Hampshire, MA census. It is possible that after the 1860 census the family moved to NV where they died and that the gravestones don't reflect actual burials (or the bodies were brought back from NV, but I don't think so as the railroad didn't go that far then). If the Addison's are the same, perhaps as a doctor he was needed in the military. (I couldn't find any military record for him, however.) How long would someone have to reside in an area before becoming a judge or a presidential elector?
In 1870 Benjamin Peck and his family were living in Northampton, Hampshire, MA, and his descendants continued to live in MA at least until 1930.
Sorry I couldn't help you determine if the two men are the same.

I see that he is here listed as "Dr" when other mentions of him are of "Judge." But many people were both lawyer and doctor in those days.There were two newspapers in Aurora, but there are no known newspapers remaining from 1866 Aurora. Other years, yes, but no complete runs and none for 1866.
No, the train didn't go through yet. But it was not unknown, especially after the Civil War experience, for people to ship bodies back East in zinc lined coffins, for burial "back home." So that can't be ruled out.
