Julia Ann Burgess age 3 7/12 later married Benjamin Harrison (Ben) Peters Jr.  I do not exactly when they were married.  But based on their respective ages and based on the fact that Ben served in WWII, they were probably married in about 1946.

Julia Ann Burgess was the daughter of Sib Elbert Burgess and Ethel Dary Lane.

Ben Peters Jr. was the son of Benjamin Harrison (Ben) Peters Sr. and Cleo Edna Stair.  Ben Peters Sr. was the son of Samuel Tobias (Sam) Peters, the grandson of Tobias Peters Jr., and the great grandson of Tobias Peters Sr.

Timothy Victor Hugo (Tim) Peters Sr. was the son of Tobias C. Peters and Mary Jane Wright.  Tim was the grandson of James Peters and the great grandson of Tobias Peters Sr.

Alleyena Talley was the daughter of John Talley.

Olive Jane (Jane) Young was the daughter of John Young and Nancy Ann York.  In 1930, Jane was the widow of Wesley C. Peters, son of Leander J. Peters and Nancy Derick Carpenter.  Wesley's first wife Mary Saphronia York died in 1896, and Wesley married Olive Jane (Jane) Young in 1898.  Wesley was the son of Tobias Peters Sr. and Elizabeth Rachel Scarborough.

Jane Kiziah/Kisarah (Kiziah) Potter was the daughter of Julin Potter and Rody.  In 1930, Kiziah was the widow of Elijah Franklin (Frank) Peters.  Frank was the son of Wesley M. Peters and Catherine Paul, and the grandson of Tobias Peters Sr. and Elizabeth Rachel Scarborough.

Marion H. Range was the son of Kiziah and her first husband John Alexander Range.  Kiziah's age of 17 at the time of her first marriage reflects her age when she married John Alexander Range.

Lester David Kring married Kiziah's daughter Bettie Peters.  Bettie died in 1922, so Lester was a widower at the time of the 1930 census.

Omer F. Kring and Floyd V. Kring were the sons of Lester David Kring and Bettie Peters.  They should have been enumerated as grandchildren rather than as sons-in-law of Kiziah Potter.  The transcription above is correct.  The question marks on the son-in-law designations are not something I have added as a part of the transcription process.  Rather, the question marks are on the original census images, indicating that the enumerator was confused about the status of the two boys.  It was easy to transcribe Floyd's age as 17.  Omer's age was originally written by the enumerator as 28, and then there was a strike through for the 28 and another number was written in its place.  The second number appears to be 19, but it's hard to tell, and Omer is known to have been born in 1911 in any case.

Worcester Owens Peters Sr. was the son of Tobias C. Peters and Mary Jane Wright, the grandson of James Peters and Rachel McCart, and the great grandson of Tobias Peters Sr. and Rachel Elizabeth Scarborough.

Worcester's first wife was Linnie Emerine Lewallen who died in 1925.  Lola was his second wife.  It was apparently the second marriage for her as well, because she was first married at the age of 20.  I do not know her surname.
