Gale, We need to get some continuity to our messages. I have knowledge of two Peter Moyers in Tenn. They can be referred to as Sr. and Jr. or I or II. Gale, are you suggesting that there may have been three Peters? Acoording to my records both Sr. and Jr. served in the Rev. War. Men between ages 18 and 53 were subject to the military for the Rev. War. Sr. would have been abt. 53 and Jr. abt 24. It seems that Sr. served for three years. In the pension application of Jr., he states he served for 6 mos.;served several 2 mo. tours for several others, most of whom he did not know. His last tour was in Sept. 1778 and it lasted 2 mos. Whether brother Jacob was one of the men for whom Jr. served a tour is not proven but I have read that it is true. Karan and I have been posting via our Emails. You can contact me at RMD1775@cs.com It might be helpful since we are each interested in the same family.

Sorry for the confusion. I've never posted on the Moyers-L before even though all my posts to the Moyers board keep popping up here. I too have knowledge of two Peters in Lincoln Co. TN - Peter Sr. and Peter Jr. I believe Peter Sr. b. 1752 to be the father of my Jacob (b. 1805 m. to Lettice Coulter in 1839 in Cane Hill Arkansas), as well as Samuel m. to Phelps, Peter Jr. (age 30-40 in the 1830 census), George and Henry. Yes, I am suggesting that there were 3 Peters -that the above Peter Sr.'s father was Peter the immigrant b. 1727 in Germany and that this Peter the immigrant died in Berks Co. PA, Bethel Township, 1787, shortly after the Revolutionary War and was never in Lincoln Co. TN. I've never seen any actual records that indicate 1727 Peter served in the Revolutionary War. The only records that I have ever seen or read about have belonged to Peter Sr. b. 1752 ,PA. They can be found, among other places, in Pennsylvania Archive 5th Series, Volume 5 pp. 150, 183, 185, 205, 235, 265, 285. These records in Berks Co. indicate his (Peter b. 1752) brothers may have been: George; Phillip; Jocob; Nicholas; Michael; John; and Henry. I've also never seen any thing that would indicate that immigrant Peter b. 1727 was ever in Lincoln Co. TN? It seems that the 1820 census records are referring to Peter Sr. b. 1752 and his sons.
