"Somerset County Historical Quarterly" Somerset County Historical Society, Somerville, New Jersey, Vol III, Page 222 ... Pumyea, Peter, d. Sept. 21, 1802, aged 69 yrs 5 mo 25 days THIS WOULD PUT PETER'S BIRTH IN 1733 NOT 1739
D O B is 1733 not 1739 per "Genealogy of Helen Frances Campbell etc " but if he died at age of 63 years 5 months 25 days (by Barbara Meyer] in 1802 then he had to have been born in 1739 not 1733.
See records of Six Mile Run Reformed Dutch Church, Franklin Park, Somerset County, New Jersey

Using the 1739 date which is the date used by most sources.
