    "Sarah was his housekeeper after he built the cabin by river later moved and started a new homestead which Sarah and Stephen inherited. Stephen was born without the benefit of wedlock. When Peter thought he would die he married Sarah and made out a will which took care of them both .It is understood that the girls in Tabitha's family were livid. Peter's son Peter was guardian of Stephen untill the lawyers took over and took control of the inheritance. A court case continued on for 10 years. A very interesting document on that family.
