    It is alleged that the first John of Marblehead came from a branch of the family of the Earl of Essex, of which one had been in danger because he had sat in the Star Chamber and voted for the execution of King Charles I and that he assumed the name Pecrick to conceal his identy. The only regicide who was of a family which had borne this title was a Bourdier, who had a son John who may have attended Oxford and had entered at Lincoln Inn Fields as a stuident of law. The Major Pedrick House, 52 Washington St. was build by my a first cousin (many times removed)with lumber imported from England utilizing ships from his fleet of twenty five vessels engaged in world trade.
