Based on the 1740 marriage date and the 1709 b. date for John, she was likely born abt. 1709-1724, more likely abt. 1715-1722, as 31 year-old John probably would not have married a 16 year-old child. Assuming she was b. 1722, and the daughter of Peter (b.1704), he would have been 18 at her birth, a very normal relationship of dates. I said; I figure Anne was the first born abt 1725, making Peter 16 years older then Anne, which would have made her 15 and him 31 when they married, which was very common for the times. This was a prestigious family and they would have married this daughter off to someone of stature. I would also put her sister Susannah as being born abt. 1727. Edward said; I have a "Margaret Robert" who married Allard Belin (1719-1804) in 1744 as the dtr. of Capt. Peter and Mary (Lynch) Robert. Is this a bad connection? If so, does anyone know who her parents were? I said; I can't help you here. I don't show a Margaret Robert or Allard Bemin anywhere in my files. Judy Roberts Can anyone else help? Edward
