John H. Peters age 16 was my second great grandfather who later married my second great grandmother Hulda Asberine (Asberine) Cross. John W. Peters age 38 and Ruby Smith age 41 were my third great grandparents. John W. Peters was the son of Henry Peters Jr. and Jane England. Ruby Smith's parents are unknown. It is difficult to tell from the microfilm if Charles was Charles N. or Charles W., but subsequent records show that his name was Charles Nelson Peters. |

Michael May Jr. age 44 was the son of Michael May Sr. and Catharine Detemer, and the grandson of my fifth great grandparents Thomas May Sr. and Maria Catherine Emerich. As such, Michael May Sr. was the brother of my fourth great grandmother Margarethe Elizabeth (Peggy) May, and Michael May Jr. was the first cousin of my third great grandmother Anna F. Messamore. Lydia Simmens age 44 married Michael May Jr. on 18 Feb 1836 in Rockingham County, Virginia. |

Tobias Peters Jr. was the son of Tobias Peters Sr. and Elizabeth Rachel Scarborough. Martha Miranda (Marthy) Mays was the daughter of Levi Mays and Elizabeth Henderson.

Levi Mays Peters was probably named for Marthy's father Levi Mays. Elijah Walker Peters was probably named for Tobias's brother Elijah. I do not know who Benjamin Leach Peters might have been named for. |

Sarah May was the daughter of George May and Barbara Van Grundy. In 1860, she was the widow of Michael May Sr. I do not know if Sarah and Michael were related. Michael May Sr. was the son of my fifth great grandparents Thomas May Sr. and Maria Catherine Emerich. As such, Michael was the brother of my fourth great grandmother Margarethe Elizabeth (Peggy) May. Eli C. May was Sarah's stepson, being the son of Michael May Sr. and Michael's first wife Catharine Detemer. It's difficult to be certain which children of Michael May Sr. went with which wife, but I believe that all the other children listed in this census entry were Sarah's children. The John Webster family was living next door in dwelling number 2050, and Eli C. May married John's daughter Melissa J. Webster in 1861. |

Elizabeth A. (Betsy) Webster age 22 married Thomas Harvey Messamore on 30 May 1868 in Anderson County, Tennessee. Thomas was the nephew of my third great grandmother Anna F. Messamore. Melissa Jane (Jane) Webster age 21 married Eli C. May on 29 Apr 1861, probably in Roane County, Tennessee. Eli was the nephew of my fourth great grandmother Margarethe Elizabeth (Peggy) May. John Webster's wife was Elizabeth G. Anderson. |

Catherine Paul was the widow of Wesley M. Peters. Wesley M. Peters was the son of Tobias Peters Sr. and Elizabeth Rachel Scarborough. There is no known connection between the descendants of Tobias Peters Sr. and my own Peters line. Elijah F. was Elijah Franklin Peters. Leander J. Peters had already moved out (he was married in 1857). Wiley was James Wiley Peters. Sarah was Sarah J. Peters. Margaret seems also to have been known as Tobitha. Dowell was Reuben Dowell Peters. Mary was Mary E. Peters. Rebecca was Rebecca A. Peters. |

Leander J. Peters was the son of Wesley M. Peters and Catherine Paul. As such, Leander was the grandson of Tobias Peters Sr. and Elizabeth Rachel Scarborough. In 1860, Catherine Paul was the widow of Wesley M. Peters and was living in dwelling number 2168 next door. Leander died in the Civil War, so this is the last census in which he appeared. Nancy Derick Carpenter age 16 was the daughter of Consider (Sid) Carpenter and Susannah Guthrie. Leander and Nancy were married on 27 Aug 1857 in Morgan County, Tennessee. |

Joseph Wyatt Jr. was the son of Joseph Wyatt Sr. and Nancy Morris. Joseph Jr's wife was Jane M. Evans. I have recorded this census entry because there was a deposition by Joseph Wyatt in the Civil War pension file of my third great grandfather John England, and Joseph Wyatt was mentioned in a deposition by Charles M. Smith in the same Civil War pension file. I'm a little curious that Joseph Wyatt was enumerated in Roane County. John England was from Anderson County, and the Charles M. Smith deposition said that John England and Joseph Wyatt were from the same county. An additional reason to record Wyatt family census entries is that my fifth great grandparents in Anderson County, Tennessee were Henry Peters Sr. and Mary Wiatte. Mary Wiatte is a brick wall, and I'm hoping to find other Wyatt families in the vicinity of Anderson County that might connect with her. |

Elizabeth Cate was the daughter of Daniel Hull Cate and Rachel Smith. So Rachael Clevenger age 5 was probably named for her maternal grandmother Rachael Smith. Daniel Hull Cate's line goes back to Aaron Cate and Margaret Hull, John Cate and Elizabeth (Betsy) Manard, Charles Cate Sr. and Sarah Baldwin, and my sixth great grandparents Capt. Robert Cate and Elizabeth Wyatt. So I am only very distantly related to this Cate line. However, I was really looking at this family because of Rachael Clevenger. She later married Peter Stalcup and was the mother-in-law of Anna E. (Annie) Bray who married William R. (Will) Stalcup. Annie was the daughter of my second great grandparents Joseph A. (Joe) Bray and Ferriba Salina (Salina) Moore. As such, Annie was the sister of my great grandmother Mary Mahala Jane (Mahala or Haley) Bray. |
