I am looking for information on my great-grandfather and grandmother William Peters of Oakwood, Illinois, married to Ezra Barker. I believe he was the son of William Peters of Salt Fork who was possibly a preacher. He had many children including my grandfather Ira Peters also of Oakwood, Illinois.

Hi Marilyn, We have several long branches of Peters descendants in Champaign County, Illinois. I looked in my files and have William H. Peters. Do not having anything else on him specifically. His father was William I. Peters b oct 13, 1798, and mother Catharine Kelly (b abt. Nov 1798). William I. Peters was a preacher. The Parents are both buried at Patterson Cemetery just south of St. Joseph. You can see pictures of their headstones on our website, as well as several articles about them. Including family group sheets. http://peters-family.rootsweb.com William I. and Catharine (Kelly) Peters had 5 children that we know of. Frances, Martin L., Susan, Minerva Jane, and William H.. William I. Peters, was the son of Abraham Peters. We speculate, that Abraham was a sibbling to Lydia and David Peters. And that their father was names either John or Isaac. I am a descendant of David Peters. David's son, William, William I., and Abraham are all 3 listed on the first taxpayers list of Champaign County. You can contact me offline for additional information. Mark@RainbowsEndEmbroidery.com Hope to hear from you.
