I've written to a couple other cousins to respond to you (seeing as I haven't had much time for PETERS-hunting recently due to school-and what little time I grab I've devoted to another German line. Since I haven't heard from them, I might as well begin myself. In comparing your info our stuff matches with yours except in a couple places. Knowing the German-Naming custom confusion of not calling a person by his/her "first" name, it's not too surprising. I've gotten a headache trying to unwind the top bit, so let me unload that 1st. The top section of your 3rd generation, listed above. I conclude you mean to say: Abraham PETERS son Jacob b. 1779, Va gson Wm Peters. Am I correct? Do you mean Abraham b 1752? as the father of Jacob? If so I'm confused. You list a John b. 1770 as son of Abraham, and a brother of Abraham, John Jacob b. 1755, but I don't find Jacob b 1779 elsewhere. Am I clear as mud? 2nd, which likely should have been 1st, I'm related to you via Johannes Ulrich Peters (b 1708) m. Rosina Catherina Hueschel John Sr (1740) & Catherine John Jr. (1765) & Christina Longenacre (also see Longinacre) Abraham 1792 & Elizabeth Wade William 1818 Wm Rufus Here's what I, muddled as can be, see: 1. John Jacob PETERS b. 1720, son of JOHANNES Ulrich & Rosina Catheraina Peters. We have only death as 1801, but the location jives. Think you have the death date of Elizabeth wrong. We show MARRIAGE as 1750. corresponds better with known kids birhts of late 1750s to 60s... 2. Abraham PETERS' children. We didn't have this. 3. John Jacob PETERS s/o John Jacob/Eliza. We have as John only. Have more on his family with Frances Simms. 4. Christian, s/o JJ/Elizabeth. Have Ann Fudge's b/d as 3/3/1766. Christian/Ann's son Conrad/Clara Snidow. A gazillion pages on this family is available. Chrisitian/Ann's son John b. 1788 had 2nd wife, Cynthia Clark 1795-1859, m. 1813 had at least 3 kids. 6. Chrisitan/Polly s/o John Jacob/Franciss. You add to our info in detail. Is this from your direct line??? Alot of new info laced in the rest of your not. Looking forward to hearing from you Crystal Crystal A.
