'It states, in part, that upon receiving a request for records pertaining to the issuance of marriage licenses, a probate court shall furnish copies of the records as provided under section 149.43 of the Ohio Revised code, except that the court shall delete or otherwise remove any social security numbers and the maiden names of the mothers of the parties to a marriage so that they are not available to the person requesting the records, except for use by the department of human services, law enforcement personnel, and if ordered by the court in a civil or criminal trial.'

Berhard sounds unusual. Could it be Bernard? By Holland, I assume you mean the country and not the province. The Rhine river exits Europe by way of the Netherlands. Antje is as far as I know not my relative, but rather one from someone else to whom I was replying. However, I do have a Peters ancestor in the USA and I'm debating whether she is from Dutch or German background. Of course she probably has lots of both in her, since many ties exist between the two countries. My ancestor is Mary Peters, b. abt. 1818 in Westmoreland Co., PA., as I've been told. This person is said by some to have been Pennsylvania Dutch, or in other words German. However, their premise was based upon third-hand information that they were members of a German speaking Methodist church. "They" was not clearly defined and many Dutch did go to Pennsylvania. Their languages are very similar and would be no major difficulty for a Dutch person to learn German. In fact, Dutch are required to learn 3 foreign languages, of which German is usually one. My feeling is that perhaps the chances of her being Dutch are not as high as being German, but still that possibility leaves my current evidence inconclusive. The surname Peters could very well be spread throughout the germanic areas of Europe, including Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg and Flanders (Belgium). However, given the high number of Dutch links I've come across in my ancestry, I can't yet rule out the possibility that my Mary Peters was Dutch.

If you will look in Sussex Co.Va. on 1769, John & Martha Peters had son named Henry born 8-7-1769 with sister's Sally & Elizabeth who went to Tenn & then too Jackson co. Ala. Some time ago, 1-2-yr some ladies were researching him but could not agree among them self as to his birth place. That had all the right info but could not accept that he was born in Va. Some were i have the e-mail they sent but since i was following one of Henry's uncle, who was my line, I did not argue with them. Red Peters in Texas

Ken, I saw your request for information on your PETERS family. My PETERS ancestors came from the Rees area. Rees is located 10 km from Holland, just a couple km north of the Rhine River and 20 km northwest of Wesel. My grgrandfather, Johan Henrich Peters, was the son of Berhard, whose father and grandfather also had the same name. I do not have Antje Peters in my family. I do have other ancestors from this area with Dutch names, Jerry Peters

Sundee, Thanks for replying to my Peters query. I know both Henry and John Peters were in Jackson Co., Ala. before 1830, I'm trying to verify that they were in Sevier Co., TN before 1810. A long time ago I made a note to myself that a John and Henry Peters both owned land in Sevier Co. I had just started research and didn't cite my source! At that time, I had no idea they might be the ones I'm looking for. But since Henry Peter's son said on his military pension application that he was born in Sevier Co., I think it is highly probable that this was them. Thanks again, Faye

Researching PETERS family from the area of Gamlingay,Cambs,from 1680-1810. Regards,Vanessa

Dear Paula: Good to talk to you again. As you know, I am also a descendant of Zachariah Peters & Kesiah Lively. On what do you base your speculation that Zachariah Peters was of British descent? My grandfather was of the same belief. As always, I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Mike Peters npeters102@aol.com

Hi Faye if they were in Sevier County, TN it had to be very early 1800's. I the 1830 and 1840 Sevier County, TN censuses and no Peters are listed in it. Hope this helps you to know that they moved on somewhere else before 1830, sorry I could not help anymore though.

Somehow, I don't know how, I got on this list. I am a Peterson, not a Peters. Now I am flooded with Peters emails that I am not interested in. Please remove me (although I do wish to remain on the Peterson list). Thanks! Ken Peterson

Hi, Kevin, Which Peters family in Franklin Co VA are you related to? I'm a descendant of Zachariah Peters (b. abt 1770) and Kesiah Lively who were married in Amherst Co VA in 1794, later lived in Franklin Co. Most of their descendants were born, lived, and died in Franklin Co. There were other Peters lines in Franklin Co-- Michael and Stephen -- and none of Zachariah's line married into the other Peters' lines. They did marry into their own family, however. The Michael and Stephen Peters' lines were German and they married other German families in Franklin Co. It is my belief (and other Zachariah researchers agree) that the Zachariah Peters' line was of British descent. Of course, this is speculation and no proof has yet been found. Zachariah's descendants did not marry into the German families in Franklin Co VA (at least not until the 20th century). I think I exchanged correspondence with Chester Peters about 25 years ago!

Look in ala. He move there if same henry. Born in va. to Tenn to Ala. Will try to get back too you tomorrow Red Peters

Please help: Two brothers, John Peters, Sr. born c1760, and Henry Peters, Sr. born c1764, were living in Jackson Co., AL before 1830. Most of these two Peters' children were born in Tennessee, according to Census records. Several of these mens' descendants migrated to Crawford Co., AR about 1842. According to military records, George Washington Peters (believed to have been a son of Henry Peters, Sr.) was born c1812 in SERVIERVILLE, SERVIER CO., TN. Does anyone have any information on a Peters family living in Servier Co., TN, during the early 1800's? Thanks, Faye Goodner

They all seemed to have lots of children. We also have several indian women in our line, mostly Cherokee tho. We also believe that James Henry Peters(nick named "John Henry") is on the Dawes & Guion-Miller rolls. But,We haven't been able to tie all this together with paper work.

My name is Kenny Peters. The above site shows my family. We found this site by accident & were very pleasantly surprised. I am interested in your new web site. I have been following this obvious PETERS origin debate going on thru the roots web letters. One of the differences in our OWN (here @ home) Geneology research & Carmen Boyd's Pages is that her earliest Abraham Peters, is our Abraham 2nd. WE have an Abraham the 1st as being born in Germany..no date..but married on 9 Feb. 1761, to (unknown) SULZBACK in Germany somewhere. They would be the parents of the Abraham Peters shown on these pages. I don't know how to get any farther back than that. BUT, we have a story that when Abraham the 1st , got off the ship, & there were too many Germans coming in to the us, so he told the Gov't he was Irish. Then, the story goes , he overheard 2 Germans plotting to rob him, & they didn't know he understood them. Anyway he managed to get away before they could rob him. (PS: or it could've been reversed, Irish/German, in the story) So we are not sure if we came from Germany or not. But i just got off the phone with my sister, she said she thought we(Abraham & wife "Sulzback" )may be from Baden, Baden, Germany. How do i research that? After the above Abraham we all agree on the following: Abraham Peters, 2nd. b 28 June 1768 in Pa, d 1842 in TN, married to a Christina(unknown) on 1 Feb 1791 - my ggg-grandfather Abraham Peters, 3rd. b 6 Jan 1810 in Greene Co. TN, d 29 Sept 1870, married Mary Magdalene Ottinger on 21 Oct 1848 - my ggg-grandfather Andrew Conrad Peters, b 23 July 1845 d 25 Feb 1922, married Mary Jane Holt ,on 13 June 1867 - my gg-grandfather James Henry Peters, b 17 Dec 1869 d 2 July 1946, married Mary Elizabeth Laffalette<(may be wrong spelling), on 12 Nov 1893 my g-grandparents Alonzo Leonard Peters , b 15 May 1905 in Pulaski Co. Arkansas,d 10 Feb 1994, married Ruth K. Kyzer, on 14 Feb 1927 (she is in Conway, (Arkansas )Regional hospital as i write this, not expected to be with us more than a month)she is 91. She knew me when i was up there a couple of weeks ago. These are my Grandparents. I don't have anything beyond Abraham Peters 1st. Thanks for any assistance. Would any of this info be of any interest on your website? Thank you very much, Kenny Peters PS: any of this sound familiar to anyone?

In 1830 and 1840, He shows up in Lawrence County,MS. Then he moves to Catahoula Parish, Louisana in 1850 and then was on the 1860 census in Winn Parish, LA which is where he is buried. He dies somewhere after 1860 (maybe 1866). His children were: Mary Peters ( bc 1814 in SC) m Allen McCarty James Peters (b1815-1816 in SC) m.
