I have seen this 1880 census and am not sure if it is our Peter even though he is about the right age, in the right place and is surrounded by the Harts. Peter married Ruth Hart and so I don't know who Sarah would be. Our Peter's father Powell was born in VA so the TN birthplace doesn't match (however, those birthplaces can occasionally be misstated.) It is possible this is the same Peter but these differences would need some explanation before I would call it a sure thing. The Harts and the Sinks are linked several times. Peter married Ruth Hart and two other brothers married two other Hart sisters. So, when I see Harts and Sinks together I tend to think they belong somehow to our line.
