Peter KITTS
Elizabeth WYRICK |
Note:
• Secondary sources have made a mess of the various Peter KITTS. Proceed carefully. • Given his age in 1786 (33/34), it's likely he had a prior wife. • He is not the Peter P. KILTS (1793-1829) who married Magdalena SALTSMAN and lived in Palatine, Montgomery Co., NY. |
