I have run across Timothy and have often suspected that he is the brother of Albert but have not been able to prove it. They are from the same area and would fit the description on the 1830 and 1840 census. It has been speculated that their parents were Alfred and Tabitha Peterson. Alfred appears on the 1830 census and Tabitha appears with the children in 1840. From there, Albert appears on the census until 1870 and died in 1873. He served in the Civil War in the 3rd Fl Infantry, Company I. Albert voted in the first election of Florida and has been established as a Pioneer of Florida. His children were: First marriage to Rachel (?) Lucy b. 1846 William John b. January 9, 1849 Elizabeth b. 1853 James b. 1857 Second marriage to Louisa Victoria Bradley, Daughter of James Bradley and Keziah Clemmons. Moses b, Oct. 1, 1860 William Clifton ( my great great grandfather) b. November 9, 1866 Dorsey b. Oct. 1858 Archie b. April 1, 1870 Keziah b. abt. 1872 They lived North of Branford and also owned land south of present day Ivey Park. If any of this sounds familiar or if you come across anything you think may relate...I'm listening.

As I recall, Annie Webb Hewitt's mother was Mathilda Peterson, daughter of Timothy (spelled various ways) Peterson. That's all I know. I have not done any other research on the Peterson branch. I had hoped to start that shortly.
