Bryan, What are the Dates of your Mathew Peters? I am aware of a Mathew Peters, who had a Ralph Peters, who had a Willam Peters(b.1702) and m. Elizabeth Bayley. Ralph Peters was born 1675 and Mathew b. abt. 1640. I found this info on www.familysearch.com This Ralph Peters married Esther Preeson. I am speculating my James Peters was the son of William Peters. James Peters married a Mary Bird in 1749. William Peters(the father) had a brother Richard Peters. William lived in Philadelphia, PA. Anything sound familiar? Also there were som Francis Peters' down the line. John Peters
