This family bible data is from the collection of Nada Pendergraft.\u00a0 Nada left “3000 pounds” of documents to her son Robert.\u00a0 This information came to me from Beckie McElhaney who in turn received it from Robert Pendergraft.<\/p>\n
I have tried to spell things exactly as they were in the Loretta B. Bingham transcription.\u00a0 For example, the given name of the wife of James Peters was sometimes spelled “Rachel” in the family bible, and sometimes “Rachal”.\u00a0 I followed these spelling variations very closely, but I did not indicate the variant spellings with sic<\/em>.<\/p>\n Tobias C. Peters was the son of James Peters and Rachel McCart, and the grandson of Tobias Peters Sr. and Elizabeth Rachel Scarborough.\u00a0 Tobias Peters Sr. and Henry Peters Sr. were the founders of the Peters family in Anderson County, Tennessee.\u00a0 They moved from Greenbrier County, Virginia (now Monroe County, West Virginia) to Tennessee with the Scarbroughs in 1797.\u00a0 I am descended from Henry Peters Sr. but not from Tobias Peters Sr.\u00a0 Henry and Tobias were surely related and were possibly brothers, but exactly how they might have been related has never been proven.<\/p>\n PETERS records, copied by Loretta B.
