  • Peter came with his wife Anne Marie Jensen Peterson and their children Christine Marie, Petrine Antomena, Joseph Christian and Parley Pratt. The year of his birth is listed as 1811 on Ancestral File, but the Kennilworth ship register lists him as being 35 years of age, which would make his birth year about 1831. The family also went by the name of Pedersen.
