Craig writes: "Peter Peterson, Jr., born c. 1698, married Magdalena Stedham, daughter of Lucas Stedham, on 3 December 1724. On 8 May 1727, Peter and Magda­lena conveyed 105 acres, the lower half of the ?old ground,? along Christina Creek, to Anders Justis in exchange for 150 acres in Christina Hundred. On 13 November 1732, Peter confirmed to his brother Hans Peterson the upper half of the ?old ground.? At the time of the 1752 church cen­sus, Peter was living north of the Brandy­wine. Church records confirm nine children born between 1725 and 1747. Peter died before 1764, when Magdalena was shown as head of household. "
