Much of the data in the family history came from the Peters family bible. The current location of the bible is unknown. It has been loaned and not returned.

- [S90] Wright, Lucille: personal interview, recorded by Jerry Bryan, 12 October 2003.
Grandma Peters was short, wore her hair in a bun, and always wore an apron.
Lester taught school at the one room Claxton School at the time when Hutsell was sick (about 1920). The school was on the right side of Clinton Highway (northbound), before you get to the crossroads at Claxton. He could play the piano. He played fiddle at dances. His violin was originally Hutsell's. Grandpa Peters smoked a pipe and never said anything. Grandpa and Grandma Peters were often visited by Mark and Calvin Scarbrough.
Lucille was named after her mother's sister, Eva Mae Buckner.
