Notes:

These dates line up with the child named Benjamin Peterson who died in 1845 and was noted as either the son of Washington or Franklin. Something doesn't quite add up here.

Notes:

Washington and Franklin were twins.

Washington may have had a son Benjamin F who died at age 8 in 1845. I find death records that say he was the son of either Franklin or Washington. However, Franklin's son named Benjamin continues to be in the family household.

Washington married Emily Bates on 9 May 1833 in Abington, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States. Emily (daughter of Jane) was born in East Bridgewater, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

• 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.
