Mike, This family was living in Lincoln County, WV in 1930: 1930 U.S. Federal Census Lincoln County, West Virginia James E. Peters head abt 1886 Lina J. Peters wife abt 1886 Earl J. Peters son abt 1909 Edward E. Peters son abt 1912 Macyl L. Peters daughter abt 1914 Roy B. Peters son abt 1920 Dempsey D. Peters son abt 1924 Got this from the index at ancestry. I don't have access to the images. From the WV deaths records: Lina was a Pauley per her son Earl Jackson Peters' certificate. James and Lina were born in Alum Creek, WV per this same cert. http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_view.aspx?Id=1579583&Type=Death James' death cert. http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_view.aspx?Id=1298253&Type=Death shows his parents as Henry Peters b.

Was wondering if the friendly folk on the Raleigh County list could lend a hand? Does anyone know this family? Don't have dates or a place of residence yet. The family information, though sketchy, is as follows: Mother = Linie???(Pauley) Peters Father = James Peters Children = Macel Letha Jane Peters - Daughter Edward Peters - Son Earl Peters - Son Hallie Peters - Daughter Roy Peters - Son Dempsey Peters - Son This intrigues me since James & Dempsey are popular Christian names in my family as well. I look forward to hearing from ya'll. Respectfully, Mike Peters npeters102@aol.com
