It's amazing that alot of families seem to travel the same path at that time, living in the same counties and the same states at times. I would like to find out if the other Peterson's were related to mine, I'm sure they were. Robert lived in Brandywine Hundred, Delaware and crossed the Delaware frequently, to Salem County, NJ. There were a few Peterson families living in that county during his time and he even lived there for a time. Would it be a good assumption to say that Robert lived outside of the "downtown" Batavia area since he would have been a farmer? It seems that the downtown area was more for professional people like lawyers, merchants, etc. but I could be wrong since I don't live in the area. That's the way it seemed to me when I visited there. It's very quaint. S. most Batavia township had an Union church known as Republican that today is the Mt Holly Church of Christ. The new Latter Day Saints- Morman church were among those worshiping in Republican. The Isaac Higbee's, Thomas String [Swede] and Peter Conover were Jerseymen who became Mormans in ClerMONT cO,oHIO,AND MOVed on to w Illinois,and Utah. John Conover lived within 1\2 mile of what became,1970's,the dam of Lake Harsha. His family was akin to the Swedes and Dutch. He moved just north of Pike Co,Ill. I'll say John Conover lived under 2 miles from Robert Peterson in sw Ohio. Any educated guess as to where George Petrson lived before Williamsburg,Oh and Pleasant Mills,NJ would have Salem Co,NJ AT THE HEAD OF THE LIST.
