"Christina Pålsdotter also became married in Maryland, first to Cornelis Petersson, born in Sweden, who had arrived in New Sweden on the Eagle in 1654 with his father, Peter Månsson, and thereafter moved to the Sassafras River. On the division of Pål Jönsson Mullica's estate, Cornelis received 150 acres of "None So Good in Finland," which he sold to John Cocks in 1669. Cornelis died childless soon thereafter, and Christina then married his brother Anders Petersson. He died in 1686, after which Christina married an Englishman Nicholas Dorrell. She died a year later, survived by Mary Peterson (then married to Peter Sefferson), Andrew Peterson and Margaret Dorrell (who later married Robert Money)."[1]

Anders (Andrew) Peterson, who married Christina, daughter of Pål Jönsson Mullica, died intestate in Cecil County by 13 September 1687, when his estate was inventoried. He was survived by his wife, who married Nicholas Dorrell, and two children, Andrew and Mary Peterson. Cornelius Peterson died without issue.
