>Jerry, >Are you saying that William F. Peters parents were Thomas Peters and Sarah >England? Yes. The only evidence that I know of to support this conclusion is the 1841 deed where John W. Peters and William Peters sold land that had been owned by Thomas. I wish the evidence were stronger than that. About the only other possibility (and I don't think we can rule this out 100%) is that William was the son of Henry Peters Jr. But I just think it was more likely that Thomas gave the land to his sons John W. Peters and William Peters than that he gave the land to his nephews John W. Peters and William Peters. William married Susannah Yarnell in 1845 in Anderson County. I have long been puzzled that I can't find them in the 1850 census. They appeared in the 1860 Anderson County census. Susannah appeared as an apparent widow and head of household in the 1870 Anderson County census, and the ages of the children in the 1870 census suggest that William died about 1864. Here are the tax records I have for William. 1847, William Peters, Dist. 9, one poll 1848, William Peters, Dist. 9, one poll 1850, William Peters, Dist. 4, one poll 1859, William J. Peters, Dist. 4, one poll 1859R, Wm. J. Peters, Dist. 4, one poll 1861, William J. Peters, Dist. 4, one poll 1862, William J. Peters, Dist. 4, one poll 1863, Wm. J. Peters, Dist. 4, one poll The absence of any William Peters after 1863 is further evidence that he died about 1864. There were no tax records for Susannah after William's death because they did not own any land. Susannah would have had to pay taxes on land, but as a woman she didn't have to pay any polls. I am bothered that tax records show his middle initial as J, and the 1860 census shows his middle initial as an F. However, I was just looking at the 1860 census image again. I think the middle initial could be transcribed just about as well as a J as an F. One of his daughters in the 1860 census was Jemima J. Peters. The J in "Jemima" certainly looks like a J. But Jemima's middle initial could be transcribed just about as well as either an F or a J, and we know her middle name was Jane. Notice that William seems to have moved from Dist. 9 to Dist. 4 between 1848 and 1850. Perhaps that is why he was missed during the 1850 census. Maybe he was moving that day. Dist. 9 was basically Scarbrough. The north boundary of Dist. 9 was Pine Ridge (Y-12 is bounded to the north by Pine Ridge, so Y-12 was in Dist. 9), the east boundary was the Clinch River, the south boundary was the Clinch River (there is a big bend in the river where the Bull Run steam plant is now), and the west boundary was the Roane County line. Dist. 4 was east of Dist. 9, across the river. Dist. 4 could also be described as south of Clinton, sort of "South Clinton" and the Claxton community. The only other Anderson County tax record I have for a William Peters is 1861, William H. Peters, Dist. 6, one poll. He was William Henry Harrison Peters, son of Tobias Peters Jr. and Louisa Henderson. Jerry Bryan

MAIL ORDER BRIDEGROOM HAS YARNIN' FOR TENNESSEE HILLS SOJOURN IN JUG DELAYS RETURN When a mail order bridegroom from the Tennessee hills, Charles Rex Harmon, 47, was called in Municipal Judge Elmer D. Doyle's court to answer to a petty theft charge brought against him by his intended bride, Mrs. Ruth Weaver, 7027 Longridge Ave., Harmon did not answer. Unknown to the jilted bride and to Judge Doyle,who issued a bench warrant for his arrest, Harmon was in jail, had never made bond,and had not tried to get away. He Quietly Walked Out More homesick than lovesick, Harmon, a lonely bachelor in Briceville,Tenn., had advertised through a matrimonial column for a suitable wife, and had received a reply from Mrs. Weaver with whom he exchanged photographs and plans. Using a railway ticket and $14 she sent him, Harmon arrived in Van Nuys on Jan. 2. On Feb. 2, the day set for the wedding, he decided he "didn't like it here," quietly walked out, and started thumbing his way easterly toward his mountain home in Tennessee. Police picked him up a few hours later on Mrs. Weaver's charge that $93 Harmon had on his person belonged to her news vendor son, Lester Monk. Was Lost In Shuffle Harmon contended in pleading not guilty at his arraignment Feb. 3 that his ex-fiancee had given him the money on her agreement to pre-pay his return to his home state. After being lost in the shuffle at city jail, Harmon was finally brought before Municipal Judge Charles T. Johnson Thursday. His return to his Tennessee home was delayed when Judge Johnson sentenced him to 90 days in city jail for theft of the $93. Source: Van Nuys News, Van Nuys, California, March 1, 1948
