Janice: I actually had the name Rebecca Peters (b. 2/4/1833 and d. 10/30/1909) rather than Peterson. I do not have anything on her parents. Which is correct? Does anyone have other information on Abraham Faircloth: I only have his death date as 1877 and no marriage date? BTW, their daughter Eliza Faircloth, b. 1/17/1854 married a French, but which one? Thank you for any help you can give.
