Dewitt-1588 and DeWitt-974 appear to represent the same person because: Hello: I believe Peter DeWitt II (1588) and Peter DeWitt Junior (974) are the same person. They both were married to Mercy Massie (Massey). His father is Peter DeWitt I (DeWitt-558) and mother is Jane Bray (Bray-2050). The birth date on 1588 is incorrect. There is a DAR document that lists Peter DeWitt I as being born in New Jersey and moving with his father to Virginia where he enlisted in the Revolutionary War. I also found Probate papers for Daniel DeWitt mentioning his children's names. Daniel also has DAR paper work for his service in the war of 1812.
