1870 Census, Hancock County, Illinois

J. Friedrich Shinliver and Phereba King were the parents of Nancy Jane Shinlever who married John Farmer Conner Peters.  Nancy and John were living next door (see below for details).  Although Friedrich Shinliver was born in Pennsylvania, I think of the Shinlevers as being an Anderson County, Tennessee family.

John Farmer Conner Peters was the son of Tobias Peters Jr. and Louisa Henderson, and the grandson of Tobias Peters Sr. and Elizabeth Rachel Scarborough.  My Peters line descends from Henry Peters Sr., who was probably related to Tobias Sr. (probably a brother), but this is not proven.

Nancy J. Shinlever was the daughter of J. Friedrich Shinliver and Phereba King.
