There were court house fires in 1826, 1870, and 1904.

Tobias Peters Jr. was the son of Tobias Peters Sr. and Elizabeth Rachel Scarborough. The first marriage of Tobias Peters Jr. was to Louisa Henderson in Anderson County in 1838. There is no known connection between my three lines of Peters in Anderson County, Tennessee and the line of Tobias Peters Sr.
B. H. Human to Parthena England 30 Dec 1866
p.23 issued 3 Jan 1867, solemnized 6 Jan 1867, Jeremiah Hurst, J.P. This was Basel H. Human and Parthena England. Parthena England was the daughter of Wiley R. England and Perminia Emeline (Emiline) McCart. As such, she was the granddaughter of my fourth great grandparents Titus England and Elizabeth, and so she was the first cousin of my gg grandmother Vesta Clay England.

Issued 9 Jan 1866, no return. Talitha Peters was the daughter of James Peters and Rachel McCart. As such, she was the granddaughter of Tobias Peters Sr. and Elizabeth Rachel Scarborough.

William R. Willson to Mary Ann McPeters 27 Oct 1874 James McPeters to Margaret Walker 27 Jan 1875 Rufus McPeters to Nancy R. Jones 9 Nov 1875
I include the McPeters surname only for completeness. I have no reason to suspect any connection between the McPeters family and the Peters family. Indeed, the McPeters family was surely Scottish, and my Peters family was probably German.
W. T. England to Rebecca Shannon 25 Nov 1876

David Hall to E.A. McPeters 4 Mar 1877
I include the McPeters surname only for completeness. I have no reason to suspect any connection between the McPeters family and the Peters family. Indeed, the McPeters family was surely Scottish, and my Peters family was probably German.
