!DEATH-COMMENT: "Old Kittery and Her Families" by Everett S. Stackpole
Lewiston, ME, - Press of Lewiston Journal Company, 1903 Printing, Page 752.
Peter Staple, as the name was for a long time written, had a grant of land in
1671, and bought land of Thomas Turner on Long Reach 4 JUL 1674. He ans his
wife Elizabeth deeded this to son Peter in 1694. March 9, 1679, there were
"measured and laid out unto Peter Staple five acres of land by town grant to
his wife in her widowhood bearing date in december 13, 1669." See York Deeds,
V. Part I fol. 87. The town records of Kittery say that 13 Dec. 1669, there
were "granted to Elizabeth Edwards five acres of upland joining to ye above
said Christopher Beadle's land." This shows that Peter Staple married
Elizabeth Edwards. Carious deed indicate plainly that she was the daughter of
Robert Beadle, though absolute proof is lacking. The same day that the town
granted five acre to her there were granted "to Christopher Beadle ten acres
of upland at ye head of ye lot that was his father's in ye Long Beach." The
will of Peter Staple, dated 6 June 1718, was probated 7 April 1719. Three sons
are named in the will.
