Peter m. (3) bef 21 Jan 1680 Anna, his wife signing a deed with him. [Note: By typical usage, 21 Jan 1680 would correspond to 21 Jan 1680/81. However, the deed is dated "twenty first day of Jan'ry Anno Dom. One Thousand Six hundred Eight-one". Since the first recorded child is not born until 1687, though this may be the second child, this is probably 1681/82.]
