Abt 1623 - 1664  (41 years)

WikiTree: Peter Weare (1618-1692)

We are descended from Peter and Ruth (Gooch) Weare through the Wright (Tucker) line. It is unknown when they married; we have no birth date for their first son, but their second child, Elizabeth (our ancestor), was born in 1638. We know that Peter was in America by 1638 when he purchased land on the Great Works River in what is now South Berwick. In these years, based on his own deposition in 1665, Peter would travel to Winnepesaukee and the Merrimack River for furs accompanied by natives (Abenakis).He was granted land with John Gooch by the town of York in 1646. Peter settled on the homestead on the north side of the Cape Neddick River by 1650
