He died about 1844 at the age of 43 in [Roane County], [Tennessee]. A John Peters whom I believe to have been the son of Tobias Peters Sr. disappeared from the Roane County Scholastic census after 1843 and disappeared from the Roane County tax list after 1844. His 1844 tax list was unusual in that there was no land listed, after having land listed from 1836 through 1843. The Scholastic Census of 1844 listed a Sarah Peters with two children, the same number of children as John was listed with in 1843. (RGB)

July 13, 1834 John Peters sold his share of the Tobias Sr. land to John M. Keys.

John Peters and Sarah (Mrs. John Peters) were married about 1821 in [Anderson County], [Tennessee].

Sarah (Mrs. John Peters) was born about 1801.
