    [Note: See will which was probated 8 Aug 1750. Clearly the gravestone was misread (one of the reasons why imageless memorials should be banned from Find a Grave), which accounts for the age at death not aligning with his birth. Also, Nahum's History of Bridgewater, p. 155, says his father's will, dated 1753, does not mention Peter, confirming a death before 1753.]
