She was the first wife (m. 31 Oct 1791, Lancaster City, Lancater County, Pennsylvania) of John Peart, b 31 Oct 1791. Following this line from their son Benjamin Franklin Peart, (b 9 Jan 1830, Lamperter, Lancater County, PA.) who married Sophia Elizabeth Fiske (b 26 Nov 1846, Michigan). Through this union they produced Striling Bejamin Peart (b 24 Dec 1889, in Woodland, Yolo County, CA). Stirling married Gladys Vesta Elkins (b 28 Jun 1898, in Mt. Shasta City, Siskiyou County, CA.) and their daughter Carol Elizabeth Peart, b 21 Feb 1923, in Woodland, Yolo County, California. I cannot find the name of her husband. Carol passed away in 2003. If there are any of my PEART relatives in California, I would like to correspond with them in order to gather more information about this Peart line of our family.
