Surnames: Peters, Hartman, Basinger Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/FEC.2ACE/13.138 Message Board Post: I am the great granddaughter of JW Peters. Typing in Hancock Co. history on the internet, I found info abt the Peters coming from VA (did not know the co.), to Jefferson and finally Hancock co. That would tend to indicate the same family...VA to Jefferson Co to Hancock. The Peters family had a 156 acre farm In Hancock Co. and helped found the town of Arcadia, OH.
