Peter Hobart and his wife, Elizabeth (Ilbrook) Hobart. He resided in Plymouth. He has been described in contemporary records as "planter" and "innhoder", with a license to serve liquor.
There were three children were born to this marriage, Joseph, Elisha, and Peter. Elisha is the only child mentioned in his father's will and the only one known to have left children.
"He resided in Kingston (then Plymouth) on Jones' River, half a mile from its mouth, at a place called Flat House Dock; perhaps from the circumstance that he lived in a house with a flat roof." (Fessenden)
He died on 10 July 1715 in Plymouth.[1]
There was a problem with the probate of Joseph Bradford's estate. There was testimony that the will was not written according to Joseph's wishes.
