On March 26, 1782 (Orphan's Court Docket E., pg. 8, York County records), the follow record was made:
"The Petition of John Peterman, eldest son and heir at law of Peter Peterman the Elder, late of the said county, deceased, was read to the Court, setting forth, That the said Peter Peterman, lately died intestate, owner and seized of a certain plantation and tract of Two Hundred Acres and forty-six perches of land and the usual allowance, adjoining the lands of Michael Peterman, John Strickler, George Bard, Peter Peters, and the heirs of John Marks, deceased in York Township in the county aforesaid, with the appurtenances, and left a widow named Dorothea and lawful issue to survive him (to wit) John Peterman the Petitioner, Daniel Peterman, Peter Peterman, Michael Peterman, and Henry Peterman, Sophia Peterman, Barbara Peterman, Margaret Peterman, Mary Peterman, Catharine Peterman, Magdalena Peterman, Elizabeth Peterman and Juliana Peterman."
The plantation was valued at 320 pounds. John Peterman, eldest son, was permitted to take the farm; he was to pay his mother a yearly sum and the other twelve children their due portions. Dorothea Peterman apparently lived with her daughter Barbara, who married John Staab. When Dorothea died in 1790, she left her property to Barbara..
