Research Notes

This baptism record is sometimes attached to him, though there's no evidence this is the same child, and the father is named Johan, not Heinrich: Peter, child of Johan, was baptised on 7 March 1683 in Tetenbuell, Schleswig-Holstein, Deutschland (Germany).^[5]

This baptism record for a child is sometimes attached to him as the father, with the mother being Adriana Wouters.^[6]

These sources are not very strong for a pre-1700 profile. Can you add more information?
