Peter Weeter has various spellings connected with his surname, at the time of his death WEETER was the spelling used by his children living locally. In earlier records he may be listed as Witter, Weiter, Widder, Weider etc.) His burial location is not know but at the time of his death he had lived in the Licking Township of Clarion Co., PA since 1805. He had a will recorded in the county and the family is 100% sure he is buried there. He and his wife Catherine Over Weeter had 11 children and the ones we have burial information on are listed below. The ones we do not have a burial location on are as follows: Jacob, John, and Sarah Altman. all of whom lived in the Clarion County area of Pennsylvania.
Peter Weeter's birthdate is an approximate date calculated from ages in the Federal Census records, time of marriage, birth of children and age of "Stophel" Witter who is a DNA close match to our Peter as shown in the following census record.
In the 1800 U.S. Census Peter was listed as being "of 26 and under age 54. His relative Stophel Witter's age range in the same census was listed as to be "of 45 and up." Stophel's tombstone records his birth year as being 1758. So with Stophel being born in 1758, Peter was born after that and 1760 would be a close guess.
