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.
Military:
On 24 Feb 1900, he applied for an invalid pension from the Civil War.
Application Number 1244813, Certificate Number 1002830.
On 8 Jan 1915, his widow applied for a Widow's pension as well.

Census:
They are next door to Benjamin's father in 1900. Benjamin's birth date is recorded as Oct 1836, but Maria's is Oct 1843.

Notes:
So far, we have not yet found a death date for Sarah. She does not appear in the Massachusetts 1920 or 1930 census. Nor in the town records or death indexes. It seems unlikely that she moved away but we have not found a death record.
There is a story in the Boston Globe about a Sarah Hooper, elderly (62 years), paralytic, who was being transported to the state hospital at Tewksbury and got stuck in a hearse for 8 hours. But, our Sarah Hooper is in Whitman in 1917-1920.
Census:
Sarah is enumerated in her father's home in 1900. There is a Benjamin F. Peterson next door who may be an older brother. She is listed as divorced and as having 3 children, all three of whom are still living. Sarah notes that she had three children, all of whom are still living in 1910.
Census:
In 1910, Sarah is living as a boarder. She reports that she is a widow and that 2 of her 3 children are living.Sarah married Amos W. Merrow on 13 Apr 1873 in Abington, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States, and was divorced on 8 Aug 1877 in Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States. Amos (son of Seth Merrow and Phoebe) was born in 1849 in New Hampshire, United States; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
