Contrary to what the census entry above says, Finley E. Barnett was male. His wife was Esculania Rankin, daughter of Robert F. Rankin. William Artimus Barnett age 4 later married Mirey Margaret (Maggie) Cobb, daughter of James Madison Cobb and Mary (Polly) Peters. Mary (Polly) Peters was the daughter of Tobias Peters Sr. and Elizabeth Rachel Scarborough of Anderson County, Tennessee. |

I do not know who this Sarah Peters was. There is no apparent connection to my Peters family of Anderson County, Tennessee. If she was a part of the Anderson County, Tennessee family, it would make sense that she was born on Virginia. |

I do not know who this Caroline Peters was. The family was enumerated a second time, dwelling number 1432 family number 1432 on 10 Dec 1850, listed on p.248. It seems likely that she was a widow, and that her deceased husband had been from Anderson County, Tennessee. However, there is no guarantee that she was from Anderson County, and she could have been unmarried taking care of nephews or something like that. |

I do not know who this James W. Peters was. It seems likely that he was related to Caroline Peters in dwelling number 78, possibly a brother-in-law (if Caroline was a widow) or a brother (if Caroline was not a widow). |

Peters Arminta D. 17 f w TN

I do not know for sure who this Arminta D. Peters was. There was no Arminta D. Peters in the 1850 census in Tennessee - not even close. An Arminta D. Peters married George Thomas Love (Thomas) Seaton 19 May 1853 in Knox County, Tennessee. It seems likely that the Arminta D. Peters from this census entry returned to Tennessee before 1953 and was the one who married Thomas Seaton in Knox County. My best guess is that Arminte was the daughter of my fourth great grandparents Thomas Peters and Sarah (Sallie) England. |

I do not know who this Lebbeus Cobb was, nor whether he was related to James Madison Cobb who married Polly Peters. Margaret L. Simpson m. Lebbeus Cobb 20 Sep 1830 in Sumner County, Tennessee. Lucy Ann Riley was Margaret's mother, and Margaret's father was Larkin Hogan Simpson. It's believable that most of the children were born in Tennessee before the family moved to Missouri. However, I do wonder about the one month old, whether the family really made a move from Tennessee to Missouri with a child that young in the party. |

Alfred F. Cobb was the brother of James Madison Cobb who married Polly Peters (see dwelling number 1158 next door). He married Louisa Hoskins 7 Mar 1842 in Anderson County, Tennessee. Given that their son John was born in Missouri, they must have moved to Missouri shortly after they were married. |
