Information from Joey Peters of Sylacauga that was sent to me (Adrienne). There are 22 pages of faded information that Joey will re-type and send to me. I will then share with all of you. The date and author is yet to be determined. Adrienne <yogagolf@aol.com> " It is established that the Peters family of Tallapoosa County, Alabama descended from one William Peters through his son also named William. Both father and son are reputed to have served in the Revolution. Since at least one of the children of the younger William is known to have been born in Norht Carolina, it is believed that they served in the Continental Army from North Carolina. the 1790 census of Norht Carolina lists three William Peters a heads of families; two were from the Newberg district, one in Dobbs County showing one male under 16 and 1 female besides the head of the family. There was also a William Peters of Bladen County whose household had 1 adult male and 2 females. One of the William Peters of Newberg District applied for and received a Revolutionary War pension in 1833, file s-1850. This William died in Tennessee in 1840. the only indication that this may have been the younger William is his age. There is nothing in the file to show where he spent his time between1790 and 1840. He was the only William Peters applying for a pension listed as serving in North Carolina. There is a grave of a William Peters in Londes County, Georgia near Valdosta, which has been marked by the DAR. Mr. J.W. Selman of 1806 Pine Drive, Jacksonville, Al, a descendant of Sidney Peters Irvin, suggests that this probably was the father of the younger William. Mrs. Ralph Miller of 603 Campfield Road, Anderson, SC, also states that in Twiggs County, GA, a William Peters is shown in the lottery records as a REvolutionary war soldier who moved there in 1827. Though the above is principally hearsay, it is known that the younger William married a Laney Jordan, daughter of a William Jordan who also is reputed to have served in the revolution. It is known that in 1817, a William Peters was in Putnam County, GA. The first written notice is his name in a deed to 50 acres of land, lot 124, Dist. 3, of Putnam County, formerly Baldwin County, GA, purchased by one John Irvin, December 17, 1817. William Peters was a witness. Records in the family show that John Irvin married Sidney Peters, daughter of William Peters and Laney Jordan Petrs July 23, 1812 in Putnam County; therefore it appears reasonable that her father should have witnessed the deed to land purchased by the husband in 1817. The same John Irvin moved to New Site, Al and reared a large family, one of whose descendants is Mary McGuire Brewer of Route 2, Dadeville, Al. The parents of Sidney Peters Irvin are my great great grandparents. The names, William, Jordan, Matthew, Sidney and Hollan are family names carried in the family line to this day." Joey says: I don't yet know who wrote the narrative as it was passed to me by my cousin.
