I have recently received a Pyke Pedigree Chart  from a contact in Australia, researched by a Pyke descendent. I have spent the last 3 weeks trying to verify the information contained, using the web, web trees, a specialist search engine and trawling the Trove AustralianNewspaper Archive.
Yesterday I found that the Tasmanian Archive have free to view and download Wills, I found 21 connected to the Pyke Tree.
At this time I have exhausted my resources and have put the results on my Tree 'The Last Knight' on Rootsweb World Connect Project.
Remember that Tweed changed their name to Pyke to inherit the Birdbrook Estate in Essex. I also draw your attention to the Layston Church website which has information linking the Tweed / Pyke and Crouch familys.
The Tweed line I have back to about 1498.
This is my 14th year and STILL keep finding them !

 To much being made of the term ' cozen'  as its meaning was wide and veried as far as Wills and letters go.

Quote Re Samuel Peppys:
Later that year, or in early 1655, he entered the household of another of his father's cousins, Sir Edward Montagu,
Edward Montagu, 1st Earl of Sandwich, KG (27 July 1625 – 28 May 1672) was an English Infantry officer who later became a naval officer. He was the only surviving son of Sir Sidney Montagu, by his wife Paulina Pepys of Cottenham ( great-aunt of Samuel Pepys) and was brought up at Hinchingbrooke House.

Joseph Maryon Married Magaret Crouch, follow her line back several generations and we get to another Margaret Crouch that Married Edward Montague

dare say the two Montague lines meet somewhere and hence I presume Dear Watsons we have ' cozens'
