Peter was involved in several interesting land transactions in 1712. On April 11 of that year, he sold his house to his son Johannes and his wife for 175 florin.

On May 15 of that same year, he bought another house by a millstream for 121 florin from Anna Jost.

If Johannes passed this house along to his eldest son upon his death in 1751, George would have had property valued at approximately the cost of a round-trip ticket to America.
