Linda, Thank you for the 1930 lookup on JH Peterson/James Henry Peterson. You were right on the money, I went back and checked the birth year for his wife Mary and I had it wrong. Would you please look for them in 1920, James or JH Peterson was born 1889, wife Mary was also born 1889. In 1930 they had Herman, Madgie, Dowlin, T. Collier, James Hubert, Virdel, and Waserfinelle.

Kathy, This family is shown on two pages in 1920 - the botton of one sheet and the top of the next. Both are horribly faded and appear to have been photographed out of focus, so are practically impossible to read. I wasn't able to make out anything worthwhile at Ancestry, so following is what I was able to read from the Heritage Quest site. Sorry to be so uncertain, but this is my best guess, and I admit that without already knowing the names of Herman and Dowling, I'd not have been able to read those two at all. 1920 Henry County, Alabama - Beat 7, Newville - January 12, 1920 - ED 125/Sheet 8A - page 40 Dothan Road 153 - Peterson, Henry, head; owns?; M W 31 Md; AL AL AL; farmer/general farm Mary, wife; F W 30 Md; AL AL AL Marvin, son; M W 12 S; born AL Myrtle, dau; F W 10 S; born AL Herman, son; M W 8 S; born AL and these were at the top of the next sheet, which was infinitely worse than the first: Margie? Madgie?, dau; F W 5 S; born AL Kirby? Irby? (something-BY), son; M W 3? S; born AL Dowling, son; M W 1 5/12 S; born AL Good luck!
