Jane (Jenny) Peters17,22,44,45,46,47,48 was born on 30 July 1817 in Anderson County, Tennessee.46,47 The birth date on her tombstone is 30 Jul 1821. The England book lists her birth date as 30 Jul 1812. It seems likely that the England book has the last two digits of the year reversed because the author probably obtained the birth date from the tombstone. Census data suggest a birth year of 1817 or 1818, and my best guess is 1817. (RGB) She appeared in the census in 1830 in Anderson County, Tennessee.
