  • Notes 
    • There is a death record in 1845 for a Benjamin Peterson, age 8, listed as son of Franklin. Another record says he could be the son of Washington. But, since this Benjamin appears in the same family as Franklin and the rest of the family in 1855, I really do not believe the 1845 Benjamin is this one.
