Phil has linked many Diary pages to the relevant day's events from the Records of Earls Colne website (top right). Pepys has no direct connection to this Essex village, which is about 40 miles northeast of London.
L&M Companion: The Honywood family (who sometimes lodged at John Pepys Snr.'s house in Salisbury Court) were often mentioned in the diary of the village's vicar, Ralph Josselin. They owned Marks Hall near Colchester.

Peter Honywood born 11 December, 1589, at Petts Hall, Charing, Kent, and died in 1685 at the advanced age of 96, the longest-lived of all the brothers.
A pedigree list created by the Honywood family shows Peter as the fifth child (fourth surviving) of Robert Honeywood and his second wife. Elizabeth Browne:
"The saide Robert Honywood, by his second wife Elizabeth Browne, daughter to Sir Thomas Browne, of Beachworth Castle in Surrey, by his wife Mabell Fitz-Williams, one of the coheiress of Sir William Fitz-Williams, Lord Deputy of Ireland, had issue:
I. Thomas.
2. Thomas.
3. Mathew.
4. Ann.
5. Peter.
6. Hester.
7. Henry.
8. Mabell.
9. Michall.
10. Isaack.
These are grand-children of Mary Honywood."
With his older brother Matthew, Peter entered Emmanuel College Cambridge in 1606 and the Inner Temple in 1605. He was called to the bar in 1618.
He did not marry and had no children, so that in his Will, proved 15 December 1685, in which he styled himself "Gentleman of London", he left bequests largely to nieces, nephews, and godchildren.
He was often called upon to act as executor to the Wills of his siblings as, one by one, they died before him.
Peter Honywood was buried in London on 12 December, in the Temple Church, where, according to Venn, there is a memorial inscription.

L&M Companion: The Honywood family (who sometimes lodged at John Pepys Snr.'s house in Salisbury Court) were often mentioned in the diary of Ralph Josselin, vicar of Earls Colne, Essex. They owned Marks Hall near Colchester.
Peter Honywood's eldest brother, Sir Thomas MP (1586-1666), was Josselin's particular friend, and a leading parliamentarian. ... he retired from public life in 1660. ...
Peter spent more time at the Pepys' house than any other brother. The Elizabeth Wyld who accompanied him to Pepys' stone feast was his niece.
