| Notes |
- From American Boyers:
"He was a minor about age 16 when he chose his master John Schrieber to be his guardian, as shown in Philadelphia Orphans Court records dated June 13, 1768. He went from Philadelphia to Rahway, N.J., when a young man. The hostelry which he kept became a famous rendezvous for American officers in the Revolutionary War. Presently he also enlisted as Mrs. McCahon (4-AG221) records, evidently with proper authority, and was promoted to the captaincy of a company, but returned by and by broken in health, conducting his hostelry until death. His will, made Dec 11, 1795, and proved June 6, 1797, indicates that he lived at Bridgewater, Somerset Co., New Jersey. He married at Rahway, N.J., Ann Castner, of Huguenot descent, who died July 3, 1810, and is buried near Peter. Both belonged to the Dutch Reformed Church. Children, as named in his well: James, Stephen, Jacob, and Mary. His widow later married Captain Hillyar. (NOTE: It is perplexing to note that Ann Castner, listed above as the wife of Peter Boyer (2-AG2), is also listed as the first wife of Peter Boyer (3-AG16).)" [4]
