It appears that your family line comes from Lewis, the son of Augustus, son of "Peole". My husband's family descends from Oris, son of Augustus, son of "Peole". Unfortunately I doubt that I have anymore about these two mysterious people than you do, but I do know that Cecelia is buried in the Center Hill Cemetery. She is buried with her second husband John Airhart. It is my assumption (as well as most others) that Peole (if that is his real name) died sometime in PA or MD before the family made the move to Illinois. Cecelia was remarried there and had two children before coming to Carroll County about 1861. I have found nothing in my years of searching to support that Cecelia's last name was Rose or that her husbands name was "Peole". This has been passed down as fact through family legend, but no record has ever proven that fact. The family story goes that Cecelia was either married/widowed/divorced, etc and had a child named Adelaide. Cecelia immigrated from Germany. "Peole" was married and had a child (possibly 3) and came from Germany. Both lost their spouses some how, either divorce or death etc. Cecelia and "Peole" married and had Molly, George, Priscilla, Augustus and Peter. Sometime after Augustus was born "Peole" died. Cecelia then married John Airhart and they had two children in MD or PA. Then all of them end up in Carroll COunty about 1861. I have yet to find them as a family unit anywhere in PA or MD. There are several other descendents of this line researching and we find ourselves all in the same boat. I would be glad to share what I can and would like to learn more on your line.
