Which Peter Camper? The father born in 1793 or the son born in 1835?

Peter Sr.’s wife Eleanor died in 1862. Christopher and Lauvenia were born before 1862 & Agnes was born before a Peter Camper married Fannie Lafon in 1866.

In 1870 Christopher and Lauvenia are living with Peter Jr. and his wife Elizabeth, their son Flavius and her children from a prior marriage, John & George Walker.

Fannie Lafon collected a widow’s pension for Peter Camper, starting in 1878 for the War of 1812. This has to be the father.
