Research Notes

The dates in these sources do not match exactly with her daughter’s profile information, but they have so much information in common with it, that I believe they are likely sources. Even though Peters is a common last name, Augustus/Augustine, son of Fidelis/Fidele, is not very common. The odds seem especially slim that there would be two about the same age at the same time, in Boston, where both he and his spouse immigrated from the right countries. Augustus’ mother’s name is also correct in marriage document, first name and maiden name. -P. Clinesmith 12 Dec 2021.
