J. H. Peters,
Co. K 5th Tenn Inf. (Civil War)

My second great grandfather John H. Peters was the son of John W. Peters and Ruby Smith.  He was born 4 Oct 1843 and died 8 Mar 1890, but the dates are not on his stone.  His wife was Hulda Asberine Cross.



    John W.          03-16-1877      12-16-1900
  John W. Peters was the son of John H. Peters and Hulda Asberine Cross.



    Lizzie             04-30-1880     02-25-1898
  Lizzie A. Peters was the daughter of John H. Peters and Hulda Asberine Cross.



    Mary A.          05-03-1824     06-18-1911       wife of John W. Scarbrough
  Mary A. Peters was the daughter of Thomas Peters and Sarah B. (Jenny) England.  I believe John W. Peters, father of John H. Peters, was her sister, and hence that she was the aunt of John H. Peters.



    Sarah             05-03-1890                             Age 96 Yrs., Wife of Thomas Peters
  Sarah B. (Jenny) England was the daughter of John England and Vesta Zipporah Choate.  I believe she was the mother of John W. Peters who married Ruby Smith, and hence that she was the grandmother of John H. Peters.



    Sarah J.         05-05-1834      10-22-1886     Wife of F. A. Peters
  Sarah Jane (Jane) Scarbrough was the wife of Francis Asbury Peters.



    Thomas           07-21-1790                              Age 78 Yrs., Husband of Sarah Peters
  Thomas Peters was the son of Henry Peters Sr. and Mary Wiatte.  He was definitely the father of Zipporah Peters.  I believe he was the father of John W. Peters who married Ruby Smith.   I believe he was the father of Jane Peters who married John England (this John England was the grandson of John England and Vesta Zipporah Choate).  Thomas married Sarah B. (Jenny) England.  Based on tax records, I believe that Thomas actually died in 1863 at the age of 73.  It seems likely that the stone was difficult to read, and that Age 73 was mis-transcribed as Age 78.



    Robert A.       04-29-1872      09-26-1905
  Robert A. Peters was the son of John H. Peters and Hulda Asberine Cross.  Robert was the brother of my great grandfather Alva Edward Peters.  Robert married Mary I. (Mollie) Cole, but I do not know where Mollie is buried.  Mollie was the sister of Sallie Jane Cole who married Alva Edward Peters, so the respective children were double first cousins.
