Most of my information comes from the book " The Yaple Family in America" by Doris Yaple Geist and Roland Yaple. In the book Peter had 2 wives, Charity Beers and Patience Quigg Denton. I have also looked thru the census records. You will find that Mary A. Yaple was his daughter & third child thru Charity Beers. Mary never married. By my records, Peter and Charity had 9 children before she passed away in 1827. I am a descendant of their sixth child Elbert Yaple. Peter married Patience - May 10, 1828 I have Patience listed as born March 27, 1788 in Kingston, Ulster Co. NY They had 2 daughters Jane Yaple born 1830 and later believed to reside in California and Harriet Yaple born June 2, 1832 died 19 Sept. 1848. Both of these births were recorded in a family bible according to Doris Yaple Geist's book mentioned earlier. Patience died June 18, 1846 and is buried in King's Cemetery in Ithaca, NY along with Harriet, Peter and Charity. Sorry I can't help you with Richard Denton
