[17778] Thomas was probably born and died at Taunton, MA. He was living when mentioned in the will of his brother-in-law Joseph Godfrey 11 Dec 1750. Thomas m. 20 March 1734 at Taunton, MA Charity Staples of Taunton, probably daughter of Joseph Staples - see discussion in "Mayflower Families...," Vol. 2, p. 274, which reports that no children are proven to Thomas and Charity.
The marriage record states he m. "Emeline Jones" 25 Dec 1837 in Castine - "Maine, Marriages, 1771-1907," index, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/F4F7-4YW). Since Peter was a seaman and died in a port distant from his home in Hancock Co., ME, research should include hospital and death records for New Orleans, said to be available on microfilm there. His month and place of death are from Vivian I. Kenniston. AEM ordered a search of the Louisiana State Archives May, 1992 which found only the death certificate of a Peter Peterson who died 24 Aug 1840 at age 45 - the certificate dated 28 Aug 1840 states "...personally appeared Mr. Charles Westholz, a native of Schwartzbach in the kingdom of Wurtemberg, forty three years of age, baker by profession and residing on Moreau street corner of Foet in the third Municipality, who by these presents doth declare that Mr. Peter Peterson, a native of Sumtswall [?] in the kingdom of Sweden about forty five years of age, herefore [?] in this city Departed this life on the twenty fourth of this present month of August at three o'clock A.M. in a house on Spain street between Love and Goodchilde [?] streets in the third Municipality. The said Mr. P. Peterson is lawfully married to Mrs. Adelhaide Sutter (Sutler?), a native of the Republic of Swiss about thirty years of age the surviving widow, residing in this city" (New Orleans). IF this is our ancestor, he apparently was a bigamist and did NOT drown as reported to the Maine family. [His granddaughter Helen thought that he drowned when he fell crossing between two boats.] There is a family recollection that he was from Sweden. Note that there were several Peterson families who emigrated to New Orleans from Sweden in the mid-19th century, so this Peter may instead belong to one of these families.
"The Castine Visitor [newsletter of the Castine Historical Society], Spring 2021, p. 3: "Castine was home to one of the largest fishing fleets in Maine that caught and salted cod. Castine shipped the cod to southern ports and sold it to feed enslaved plantation workers, as well as French and Irish Catholic immigrants. In turn, the ship captains purchased raw cotton to sell in European mill ports where they then purchased salt for the return voyage home." Was Peter involved in this triangular trade or just as a crew member in a vessel trading between New England and New Orleans?
