Peter was from Poitou, Vienne, France. He was related to Louis XVI. Fled France after he killed a relative in a duel over a woman, his sister was hung for his crime. Served in the American Revolution. Peter had a brother named George who died as a baby. Sister Maria was lady-in-waiting to the queen. Maria vanished during the French Revolution. Other sister Jeanee came to US and married her cousin Jacques Delaplane in the same church where Peter married Hannah. Jeanee and her husband died early. I don`t think they had any kids. Peter`s mother was Jeanee Delaplane. The name D`Evequemont has something to do with "Bishop" or "Bishops Hill." The film is rather hard to read as it`s written in Old French, Latin, and English. A drawing of Peter hangs in the Frence palace at Versilles.(that`s not the right spelling). Peter was given the title of Marqis. I think he might have came to the US with Lafayette. He received military payment in land."
