Fourth Generation


330. Elijah Jennings Peters11,188,189 was born on 22 December 1869 in Knox County, Tennessee. Elijah's birth date is given as 22 Dec 1868, but he was five months old at the time of the 1870 census and his parents were married 3 Sep 1868. So I believe he was really born on 22 Dec 1869. Also, his birth place is given as Knox County, Tennessee. But his parents were married in Roane County, Tennessee and the family was enumerated in Anderson County, Tennessee in the 1870 census. So I think it's more likely he was born in Roane or Anderson County than that he was born in Knox County. (RGB)
