    Notes:

    Franklin is listed in the censuses as a farmer. In 1860, his farm is described in the non-population schedule.

    In 1880, Franklin is listed as a widower.

    Preliminary research on this line looks like it goes back to Plymouth in the early 1600s.

    Census:
    In the 1900 Census, he is listed as Single. Is that correct, or should it really say Widowed? There is no mother present in the house. Both he and his parents are listed as being from Massachusetts.

    Franklin married Almira Stetson on 10 Jan 1833 in Abington, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States. Almira (daughter of Abel Stetson and Sarah Oldham) was born on 27 Mar 1806 in Pembroke, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States; died on 9 Jan 1880 in South Abington, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States.

    • Probate: 13 Oct 1860, Abington, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States

    Notes:

    Betsy died in 1860 and her estate was probated. This means that she owned real estate separate from her husband. So, we need to find how she acquired it.

    There is a Samuel Dyer named as surety. Likely this is one of her brothers or nephews. In any case, he is a link to find out more about her family.

    Will:
    All personal property and income from real estate and so much of the real estate as may be necessary for his support and comfort during his life to Asaph T. Peterson, her husband. Whatever is left to be divided between the children.

    Oldest son, Asaph, appointed to take charge of the property and to be executor.

    After the death of Asaph T, the property was sold 18 May 1863. Advertised in the Old Colony Memorial newspaper.

    "the house and outbuildings, together with half an acre of land, more or less, situated on Harvard Street,it being the estate of the late Betty Peterson of South Abington, deceased.
