1. Research by Rick Swayne. His sources for Peter's parents and other information are from books: Willaim T. Blair: "The Michael Shoemaker Book" 1924 and Robert A Raup: "A Genealogy of Selected Northumberland County Pennsylvania Pioneer Families". These sources are not as reliable as original sources and may be suspect, but this is the best information I can find. Peter's birth and death dates have been confirmed with his grave.
