Peter Le Breton was a native of the city of Nantes, France. As a young man he visited Newburyport on the business of an uncle who was a sugar-planter of the West Indies. He became interested in Elizabeth Pearson and returned the following year, 1776, to marry her and make his home in Newburyport. He was called Captain, and owned some vessels in trade with the West Indies and France. A Frenchman and a Roman Catholic, he seems to have conformed to the customs and religious life of his neighbors, and to have been a respected citizen, noted for his liberality to the poor. An altar, found after his death in a small room to which he kept the key, showed that he had not forsaken the church of his childhood. http://genealogyrogerson.com/html/index/ind0229.h tml#I00077.
