Features |
| Feature: Peter Mathews and Benjamin Fletcher – What’s the Connection? There is good evidence for a familial relationship between Benjamin Fletcher, who served as governor of New York 1692-1698, and Peter Mathews, Fletcher’s “commander of the fort”. Peter Mathews is my 8xgreat-grandfather, so I have long been interested in the connection. PDF |
