Hi Mike, A quick check on the VA library site (Rev War Land Office Military Certificates) shows an ANTHONY PETERS and a THOMAS PETERS (cards 26 and 27 under Penn) who both served on the VA line (unfortunately it does not list the counties they were from). Under Rev War Bounty Warrants they have documents for ANTHONY PETERS, JAMES PETERS, and THOMAS PETERS (cards 72, 73, 74 under Pea). You might want to comb through all the old records at the library's site.. you might find a clue there. Check it out at: http://www.lva.lib.va.us/dlp/index.htm Best Wishes!
