GENERATION – 2

Peter STAPLE (jr), (2)-(Peter1), [Carpenter] b. aft 1670, Kittery, Maine; Selectman 1713-1714;
d Dec 17, 1721 (Aged 51yr est.), Kittery, Maine,
m Jan 8, 1694/95, Mary LANG, b 1678 in Sagamore Creek, NH,
d aft 1721, 8 children,
dau of Robert LANG and Ann WILLIAMS, of Sagamore Creek, Portsmouth, NH. See Gen. Dict. ME & NH, p 413 LANG, 7 Robert. Lived at the family homestead. In 1694 the Staple homestead was conveyed to Peter by his parents in 1694 (SFHA V3:2p9). The Court of General sessions, Kittery; Province and Court Records of Maine and County of York court records,
present both a Peter and Peter Jr. for various offenses in 1696/7/8, 1701, 1710/11. and License to keep a Public House of Entertainment, 1704, 1708, 1710,
however these recordings start in 1696, two years after the Staple homestead was conveyed to Peter Jr..

Burial of Peter Jr & his wife was probably somewhere on the Staple Farm or in the 'Old Burial Field', in unmarked graves or on their property in what is now Eliot, Maine.

Peter Jr's will written 6 December 1720 he gives to -- "my Beloved Son Peter Staple my house & out houses together with my homestead and land whereon I now dwell & posses which land is Bounded on the South West by the river of Piscataqua on ye North West by Maj Hammonds & John Rogers their lands on the North East by John Rogers his Land & on the South East by Joseph Hill his land & William Tetherby his land ---. In his will Peter Jr. gives his occupation as Carpenter, however the will also shows that the Staple Farm produced income from produce of the farm and from stock of Cattle and other Creatures.

Supposed To Be The Son Of Peter I? Old Eliot, Book Two, Vol. VI. p29 - The Early Families of Eliot and Kittery, Maine. By William Fogg, 1859, states "Peter Staples 2, supposed to be a son of Peter 1, married Mary Lang, Jan 8, 1696. He died December 17, 1721." Obviously this is a case for Y-DNA analysis and I am pleased to announce that Peter 1 and Peter 2 come through as Father & Son!
