Peter Sr has always been the road block we couldn't 't get past. Also, there seems to be some issue with how he comes into the picture with Catherine Livingston if she had been married to Thomas Mifflin. I'd love any context or leads to these.

His father is Melchior Klose, who was born in 1706 in Lutherstadt Wittenberg, Wittenberg, Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany, and who died in 1776 in Selinsgrove, Snyder, Pennsylvania, USA. Peter is my 5th great grandfather as well, through Henry Close-John A. Close-George Franklin Close-Ralph Close-Velna Close (my grandmother, 1913-2005). I'd be interested to know if you've confirmed that Catherine Livingston Close, Peter's wife, is, as all evidence suggests, the Catherine Livingston tied to the famous Livingston and Schuyler families of New York -- kin to presidents Theodore Roosevelt and George H.W. and George W. Bush: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livingston_family and by marriage to Alexander Hamilton (Alida Schuyler was married into the Livingston family and is the great aunt of the famed "Schuyler Sisters" of the musical "Hamilton" -- Eliza was Alexander Hamilton's wife.
