MARRIAGE: [Landaff, NH - It's People 1770-1880 {LIP}; by Stanley P. Currier, p.28. The early town vital records were compiled, typed, and bound by a retired Town Clerk and include info from gs, census information, and local family genealogies]: "He m., Mar. 8, 1801, Azuba, widow of Caleb Stone.". However, probate records for Peter the elder prove that Azuba was HIS widow; so, PETER THE YOUNGER DID NOT MARRY AZUBA. Also, Azuba was reportedly living in Norfolk, St Lawrence Co, NY in 1855 (the hometown of her step-son-in-law, Asa Oaks Jr, husband of Hannah). Which PROVES the Town Clerk connected Azuba to the wrong Peter Carleton. Ken Brown (klbinv@wi.rr.com) writes [ej] that "upon careful review of my information he is convinced that Susanna Redding (dau of Moses & Priscilla) is the same Susanna Redding who married Peter Carleton of Bath, Grafton Co, NH. "In Landaff, Grafton Co, NH 1810 census we find James McKeen [son-in-law of Moses & Priscilla Redding] and Peter Carleton living just 3 doors apart.... and "Abigail Priscilla Carleton is mentioned in 'The History of St Clair, Mich' as daughter of Peter and Susanna Redding Carleton, married on Dec 07 1834 Reed Jerome". "and Peter and Susanna (Redding) Carleton were married in 1807 also in Landaff." [A full day's page-by-page search of the oldest records in the Landaff Town Clerk's Office failed to find any evidence of this marriage - Although the birth dates of Peter's children were listed, the mother was not named, and the earliest birth was Apr 09 1808.] "Further evidence", Ken continues, "includes the children's names..." ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE: the DOB of Susanna, wife of Peter Carleton, on her Hillside Cem, St Clair Co, Michigan gs is identical with the DOB of Susanna, daughter of Moses Redding, on her Middleborough, Ma bc.
Beth Marx gives a full DOM as Jan 10 1807, quoting MOLLOY. [No marriage record was found near this date for a Peter Carlton/Carleton to any Susanna (again after page-by-page searches of the oldest records) in Ryegate or Barnet, Vt or in Bath, Landaff, or Haverhill, NH or in NH state archives; nor any mention in old newspapers of the time on file at NH State Library.

BURIAL: 'On-line' there are over a dozen 'web sites' perporting to be THE INDEX of the Hillside Cemetery at St Clair Co, Michigan; of the several I checked NONE had the full data on Peter's gs. One read, "Carleton, Peter, died 09-01-1847, buried Hillside TS"; another, "Carleton, Peter, father, born 1781, died 1847, buried Hillside" & "Carleton, Susanna, mother, born 1785, died 04-07-1846, buried Hillside". Yet, the photo a cousin sent me from the Hillside Cemetery in St Clair reads, "Peter Carleton, born May 5, 1781, died Sept 1, 1847; "Susanna Carleton, born Mar 31, 1785, died Apr 7, 1846". The "father" & "mother" designations MAY be footstones, but NO REAL INDICATION in the "Indexes".
BIOGRAPHY: In 1792, when Peter was 12 years old his father died and he was sent to live with his uncle Samuel Hutchins. On October 20, 1830, Peter along with his brothers, Israel and twins Jermiah and Edmund went with their families as pioneers to St Clair County, Mich and settled and lived that winter following in a house on the bank of the St Clair River on Yankee Street belonging to Louis St Bernard, working at what ever came his way. The next season he moved onto the "Fargo Place" situated on Belle River in the town of China some distance below the old Gallager, afterwards Williams or Belle River Mills. The next move he made was on to the SW 1/4 of the NE 1/4 of Section 11, same town where he lived until 1848 when he moved into rooms arranged for him and his wife in the house of his son William H Carleton, a few rods southwest of his home, where he died.
