Pa. and was probated 7 Feb..1762.  In it he says that it is my will that they shall not drive away my mother as long as she livety.  Obviously his mother was oliving when he wrote the willin 1761.

History records that he was buried at the Groffdale Mennonite church.

Notes:
                   M.MARY ELIZABETH DIETRICH Peters tombstone,old red sandstone,inscribed in Ferman is still readable in 1992.  His first three children,John,Barbara,and Peter were deaf mutes.
During the Rev. war he was accused of helping three British prisoners of war and fined a large sum.There is a record of his protesting this for poverty and family trouble and the fine was remitted.  He had rec. one third of Hans Jacobs plantation, so the poverty claim is disputable.   He lived "40 jahr 4 monat und 2 wochen" His will is filed in Lanc. Co. book F,vol.1,pg.295.  The Mennonite church burial records were reviewed by John w. Summy on 23 May 2000. They were apparently compiled about 1905.  Peters dates and those of wife,Mary,were transposed.

Death:
Abt 1815
Lancaster, Pennsylvania
Notes:
                   Margaret ,by old Summy records,was married to a Michael Brubaker.  Brubaker history confirms this.  There were 3 sons.  Her gravestone at Groffdale does not give dates,only 62 jahr.
