Posted on: Pike Co. Il Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Pike?read=236 Surname: PETERSON, SHAHAN, EULER, GORTON, SHAUL ------------------------- Thanks for responding, Norm. Yes, we descend from the same PETERSON family of Pike Co., IL. In fact, you also descend from the SHAHAN family I am researching along with the Petersons. Cora certainly was a daughter of Benjamin Abbott Peterson and Bethalinda SHAUL. I have Cora's photo, along with siblings and Benj dated c1888-1900. When I found Cora's obit, I was surprised to learn my grandmother Flora GORTON and my mother, Edna (EULER) GORTON, attended Cora's funeral in 1928. There is quite a bit about the PETERSON family in my book Shaul Family History. I'd be happy to share with you directly. bonne@mc.net
