PETER COLLETT was born on 08.08.1766. He married Eilerine Severine Bendeke and they had eleven children. Eilerine was born on 07.11.1777 and died on 07.12.1857. He inherited the family es
tate at Buskerud Gard following the death of his father Peter Collett (Ref. 24K17). And when Peter died on 27.07.1836 the property may have passed to his eldest son Peter Collett (Ref. 24M32), but w
hat is known is that son John Collett (Ref. 24M36) was the owner at some stage, possible after the death of Peter (Ref. 24M32).
