He married Elizabeth UNKNOWN abt 1759 and had two sons, John Ulrich Peters (1760-1842) and Henry (Heinrich) Peters (1764-1846). John Ulrich Peters married Catarina Schlebach, and they had the following children: Catharine (m. Christian Rice) Susanna (m. Daniel Rice) Barbara (m. John Rice) Hannah (m. Peter Guise) Heinrich/Henry (m. Nancy Mowery and Elizabeth Crum) John (m. Susanna Group) Maria (m. John Mowery) Eve (m. Jacob Group) Henry Peters married Lisabeth (you say Elisabeth Schnerr), and they had the following children: Johannes (1787) Maria Machtalena (1789) Elisabeth (1791-1816) m. to Jacob Hartzell Hanna (1792) Henry (Heinrich)(1794) Jacob (1796) Maria (Polly)(1798) Sara (1800) Solomon (1802) Julia (1803) Daniel (1806) Jacob (1807) I also saw Sujiwan's post about my Peter Rice connection, and I too discovered the three Peters sisters married to the three Rice brothers. There are also multiple connections between the Hartzells, the Rices, the Peterses, the Schlebachs, and other families. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
