Gender Male Residence 1679 Brixham, Devon, England - Described as 'of Brixham' at the time of his marriage
Buried 18 Sep 1690 St. Mary’s Church, Brixham, Devon, England - From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 15 Jun 2015)
Probably the burial of this Peter. No 'sonn of ...' shown, and father of children generally seem to have been shown at this time - but we can't be certain they always were. Peter's daughter Christian seems to have been buried aged 1 without any comment 'daughter of ...' So the burial could be that of the son of Jacob, aged about 12 or this Peter's son Peter. No other adult Peters known of in Brixham at this time.
This seems like a family where wills would have been common, but they were probably proved in the Archdeaconry of Totnes, for which even calendar entries don't survive, so we can't get a clue from them.
