In researching Peter Larason Key I have found many instances where his middle name was spelled "Larson". I have no idea where the spelling for this originated, but I have continued to use the Larason spelling because Peter's mother's maiden name was Larason. She was from New Jersey.

PPS - Although I detached the profile of Turner-3702 as Peter's wife based on datafield info (Peter d 1837), information available also supports detaching her if Peter did not die until 1879 (as stated in text). This later death date does not preclude him from having married a third time in 1857. It does however, preclude Turner-3702 from marrying James Graham in 1860 if she married Peter (d 1879) in 1857.

PS - Considering the 1857 marriage date that was given for Peter Key & Turner-3702, perhaps a son or grandson of this Peter was one of her husbands.

When I saved the post-merge cleanup, I received a warning:

Warning: Check the dates.

A marriage date should not be after a spouse's death date.

This supports Barbara's comments that Peter Larason Key did not marry a third time & Elizabeth Jenetta Turner is not his wife (married 13 Nov 1857 in Lawrence, Alabama, when Peter died 10 Sep 1837). Therefore, I'll detach her profile from his.

Hi! The note you posted on Key-449 says you have the names of the children... Henry J. is attached. Who were the other three? Thanks!

I have a question about this. I show that Peter Larason Key married Lucy Seward (born in 1813, VA) on 21 Jan. 1830 in Va. They then moved to Lawrence County, AL, bought a farm and raised 4 children (I have their names). Lucy Seward Key contracted an illness, not sure what, and was bedridden for 7 years before her death in Sep of 1850.

I show that Peter Key then married Eliza J. Terry. They had no more children. Peter died 15 Nov. 1879. I have been researching these Keys since 1973 and have never heard of Elizabeth Jenetta Turner. I would appreciate some discussion on this before I try to merge my Peter Larason Key to this group, even though I do believe he is the same fellow. Thank you.
