  NICK: "The Gentleman"
  NOTE:
  Died while on voyage with sons in VA or NY, asked them to bring his body back
  to Charlestown, MA for burial which they tried to do. Another version is that
  Peter Garland was a mariner & Ship owner. He died on a voyage to Virginia and
  was buried at sea.
  NOTE:
  Peter Garland mariner was born in England. He died in Charlestown, MA.
  Married Elizabeth? who died in 1687, aged 88 years. Residence, Charlestown,
  Massachusetts Bay. He owned vessels and "coasted" between Massacusetts Bay
  and Virginia and the "Dutch Plantations." "He died in the south while on a
  voyage." Before his death he requested his sons to take his body to the North
  for burial where he had sons and possibly daughters but the body was said to
  be lost at sea. "He was admitted inhabitant to Charlestown, Massachusetts
  Bay, in 1637, with seventeen others, including John Harvard, founder of
  Harvard College." He was alloted in 1637, as inhabitant of Charlestown, "five
  acres of a ten acre lot in 1st Division Mystic Side, No. 13," and permitted
  to purchase Mr. Wainwright's house that he bought of Robert Molton, and to
  have a meadow between Whitehead's land and Capt. Sedgewick's, in 1638. Ms.
  Chamberlain goes on to talk about extract from Thomas Letchford's Note Book
  in Massachesetts Bay (1638-1641) and names of people whose land adjoined or
  bordered lands of Peter Garland in Charlestown. Peter and Elizabeth had the
  following children: Peter, John, and George.
