In your last sentence you want a satisfying link between Peter and Christopel Witmer I. Are you familiar with the story about the 4 Witmer brothers who came to the Colonies? It was actually 4 brothers a sister and their father in 1732 and 1733.
Specificaly - what infomation do you have and what do you hope to find?
The ships name was "Hope". Today we would say 'from' London rather than 'of' London. This error has been stated by others as well.
Birth dates that are origionaly taken from Mennonite resources can be found by searching roots web. This family has been heavily researched - many people find this family line confusing.
I hesitate to give you the dates I have since it may be better for you to interprate the data for yourself.
Don't forget to Google your research questions - it's amazing what you can find.
If you want the birth dates for this family that I have let me know! But please, don't take my word for it - verify.
Happy hunting. I hope you've found more info since this post.
Carl Forscht - just one more Witmer decendant.
