Maryann- I've had a lot of email problems the past two weeks so only got it fixed yesterday (hopefully) and saw your message. In my research for the name "Souders" I've found half of them indexed under "Sanders" so did take notes on this couple a while ago. I thought that Peter "Sanders" could have been a Peter Souders who disappeared from Warren Co., NJ, after 1840. Then I found Peter Souders' older brother Michael Souders living in Towamensing Twp., in 1850 (under the name Souder) and was even more convinced that that Peter Sanders was the one I was looking for. There was an 1840 census record for Peter Souders in NJ but there was also an 1840 census record for a Peter "Sauder" in Towamensing Township, Northampton Co, PA, p. 256: SAUDER, Peter Males: 1-under 5 2-bet 5-10 1-30-40 Females: 1-under 5 1-bet 5-10 1-30-40 On the same page or an adjacent page was a census record for an Isaac Moyer and my Peter Souders named a child "Isaac Meyer Souders". It was not impossible for someone to be enumerated in two censuses for the same year if they'd moved. Then, I found my Peter Souders listed in the 1850 census for Trenton, NJ, while there was that other census record for "your" Peter Sanders in Towamensing Twp. in 1850 so I concluded they were two separate people. Somewhere I have a marriage record for Peter Sanders and Juliana. From the top of my head, I seem to remember her last name as Rosen and that they were married at the First Reformed Church or German Evangelical Church of Easton. As this was where my Peter Souders marriage was recorded (as Peter "Sanders" to Lydia Meyers in 1835) I thought the marriage to Juliana could have been a first marriage for him. I will point out that the surname "Sanders" deriving from an English family is quite rare in this area. Almost all the Sanders I've found are really Sauder/Sauders/Souder/Souders/, particularly if they go to German churches. There is another German name, Xander or Zander, which is sometimes rendered as "Sanders" which you should consider. Another group of bona fide English Sanders resided in Morris County, NJ, some of whom moved further west. Please get in touch if you have more questions.
