Peter Praal was born May 5, 1672 on Staten Island, Richmond County, New York and died about Oct 21, 1748 on Staten Island at the age of 76.

He married 1st, Elizabeth --, 2nd, Maria Christopher ca. 1693 on Staten Island. She was the daughter of Hans Christoffers and Tryntje Barents. She was born ca. 1675 and died in 1711 about the age of 36. His third wife was Althea Garritson.
