Miriam- Thank you for the weaknesses of the English Theory of Tunis Peters ancestry. I look forward to seeing your info on the the Peters & Allied Families Web Database when it goes live in June! I think I had previously mentioned that I am working on a Peters & Allied Web Database. Of which, the forum would be free to the Public as long as there continues to be free websites. There will be 2 sets of Databases. One with secondary information(entered by each person on-line) and one with primary information(source data, entered off-line by mail). I was out of line and I apologize. I asked for the cost of the the book/availability and you kindly gave it! I currently have to many oars in the water to afford your book at this time. John Peters New York

I am not sure, John, what you are asking for. When I started my genealogical research I was taught you could only claim as fact what you could document, that you had to cite every source of information. . Every step of the Peters lineage from Ohio, through Hampshire Cty., (W)VA, to New Jersey, to New York to Germany is documented.Nothing in the English could be, not only by me, but by other researchers over the last fifty years, and most of it has been invalidated.. I have neither time nor inclination to duplicate on to the internet the results of my 25 yrs of research nor that of the others. However, this is some of what I found. tryiing to document it: 1) "That an Ezra Peters from England was a co-founder of Petersburg, VA." Not according to history in the Petersburg library. 2)"Zachariah Peters was father of Tunis" The data attributed to this person has bneen proven to be that of a Zachariah Parker of Connecticut. National Archives; DAR stopped accepting this lineage several years ago. 3) "Tunis was an officer in the Revolution" National Archives Military records show him as a private. 4) "Francinah Adams Peters was a cousin of John Quincy Adams" She is a descendant- of a Scottish immigrant, Alexander Adms, who came to NJ in 1656., NJ records. 5)"Tunis was an officer in the Petersburg Cockade Regiment of the War of 1812" Not according to Virginia Records and National Archives military records. In 1812 Tunis was living in Hampshire Co. 6)"The clock--" i FIRST HEARD OF THIS IN A FAMILY SUBMISSION TO THE LDS LIBRARY in Salt Lake City, with the disclaimer that the writer had never seen it, that the clock disappeared years before after the death of the then owner. LDS now puts a disclaimer on family submissions. The material given to me was compiled by a Florence Brown of Ashville, OH; supposedly based on research by a Judge Hunter of Columbus, OH who died in 1927, "--after his death no trace of his research could be found" This statement was also used in a publication of descendants of Castherine Peters Ashbrook. ---- Original Message ----- From: <JAKEOWEN@aol.com> To: <PETERS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, April 06, 2000 6:44 AM Subject: Re: TUNIS PETERS ANCESTORS > Hi Miriam, > > So is your answer it's in the book documented suffice > as fact?

Hi John: I am not sure what it is you want. When I first started my genealogy I was taught that you could not claim as fact anything that could not be documented and that you had to cite every source. The German lineage can and is documented, from OH through (W)VA, NJ, NY and to Ger. The English cannot be. I have neither time nor desire to duplicate onto the Internet the results of my 25 yrs. of research and the 50 yrs work of others. If you do not want the entire package, then $11 will cover the Blue-Austin work and my citation and documentations.Or, do your own research.Miriam ----- Original Message ----- From: <JAKEOWEN@aol.com> To: <PETERS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, April 06, 2000 6:44 AM Subject: Re: TUNIS PETERS ANCESTORS > Hi Miriam, > > So is your answer it's in the book documented suffice > as fact?

Hello, Where in PA? I have a Peters who was born about 1720 and died about 1783 in western PA. He had several children: William, Stephen, Robert, and a daughter - Elizabeth. Probably more. William Peters, Sr., was an Indian, probably a Conestoga. His wife, Mary was white. He was known as "Indian Peter". He baptized his children as "William Peter". Some of his children went to Dearborn Co. IN (se corner of the state next to Ohio) in 1797 or before. Does any of this sound at all familiar? I hope it does..... Regards, Marilyn Abigt Fallbrook, CA

Hello all. I am researching my grandmother's family - she is a Peters - and have managed to trace them back to the late 1700's in Pennsylvania, but have hit a brick wall from there. The earliest ancestor I have information on is Henry Peters, born 11/28/1787 in Pennsylvania and died 6/25/1849 in Lawrence Co., Ohio. He married Rebecca Wilhelm. They had seven children, with two of their sons marrying Duduit girls and a daughter marrying George Wurts. The information for the first three generations is below. Does this look familiar to anyone? I have already determined through Miriam that this line is not in her book on Tunis... Can anyone help me? I would be happy to share the information I have on recent generations! Thank you in advance, Mary McClain New Orleans, Louisiana First Generation 1.

Looking for information about the following person: Ulrich(Wolrich) Peters. Ulrich was born on July 18, 1708 in Germany to Johannas and Magdalene (Grittman) Peters. Confirmed in 1722, Milsbach-Weiler Reform Church, Baden, Germany. Married April 15, 1732 at Weller Reform Church, Woiler-Sinsheim Elsenz (Weifer, Germany)to Rosina Catharine Heuschell. The couple arrived in Philadelphia on Oct 11, 1732. HELP!!!! Suspect that Ulrick and family were in the area of PA around Lebanon and Lancaster counties from 1732 to 1773. If any of you other Peters researchers run across this family as you search in PA would you PLEASE let me know!!! In 1773 Ulrich and wife accompany their son John to Shenandoah County, VA. Ulrich dies there in 1776. Believe Ulrich had two known brothers: Johannes(John) & George Heinrich(Jerg Henri).

Tunis (New Jer., Va., OH) lineage is Phillip (NJ.), Godfrey (Ger., NY, NJ) , Phillip, (Ger., NY, NJ) , Johan Jost Peter/Petri (Ger), Christ Petri. The origin is Sinn, Ger., which is a town near Fleisbach and Herborn in what was Nassau-Dillenberg but is Hessen. It is still on the map, southern Ger. In this country the name was variously Petters, Peter, Peters, Patters. - Your check arrived today; I will not deposit it until the end of the month when everyone who wishes has ordered. Thanks, Miriam--- Message ----- From: Barbara Lake Peters To: mbshare@mindspring.com Sent: Thursday, April 06, 2000 12:55 PM Subject: Father of Tunis Hi Miriam, I sent the check yesterday and look forward to the results of your hard work. Thank you in advance for sharing. Also, thanks for name of Tunis' mother - how about the father? We go to Richmond, VA tomorrow for an all-day workshop on VA genealogy at the Library of VA, sponsored by the VA Gen. Society. It would help if I had the father's name. I don't think it is Zachariah. There was a Zachariah and I think someone found him and just assumed he was ours. If they'd look at a map of WVA and see the distance between Hampshire and Franklin counties, they might think otherwise. Maybe. I have had the name of Philip sent to me several times as his father. Thanks for your help. We live just an hour from Romney - we hope to get there this summer. Barbara Peters Hagerstown, MD

Hi Miriam, So is your answer it's in the book documented suffice as fact? I'm trying to create dialogue here! In order to do that we as Peters have to bring out into the open the weaknesses and strengths of each theory and share that knowledge! Again, please tell me the facts about the German theory in this Peters forum! I am "cc Barbara Lake Peters" does not answer this forum's question. Cause my gut feeling is that you are wrong about the German theory. Yes, my gut has been wrong before.... So let me see I'll take the first step: Weaknesses of the German Theory: 1) No document saying Tunis Parents except ????(your input here) Weakness of English Theory: 1) No document saying Tunis Parents except ??? (English INPUT HERE) Strengths of German Theory: 1) Tunis is a Dutch name. Grampa Quick was Tunis. 2) Came from NJ where Quick's live. 3) Lived near Phillip Peters near N. River, Hampshire County, WV. 4) GERMAN THEORISTS ADD YOUR INPUTS HERE Strengths of English Theory: 1) The name Newton Handed down in multiple Descendents would account for an ancestor being named Newton versus someone just marrying into the Newton's. 2) handed down story of a clock and 3 brothers. 3) ENGLISH THEORISTS ENTER YOUR INPUTS HERE SO LET'S KEEP THE INFO SHARING GOING.
