The age range for white polls in Anderson County in 1840 was age 21 to age 50.  Henry Peters Sr. was about 71 in 1840.  Henry Peters Jr. was about 45 in 1840.  Thomas Peters was about 50 in 1840.  I am really not sure how old John W. Peters was in 1840 because I don't know which John W. Peters he was.
