Subject: [HOLDER] Fwd: [PETERS] Susan H. Peters, Anderson County, Tennessee
Date: Wed, 09 May 2001 23:22:57 -0400


I am not a Holder researcher. But I have three Peters lines in Anderson
County, Tennessee and surrounding counties, and I have encountered some
Holder-Peters marriages. I posted the following message to PETERS-L a
couple of days ago, and I thought it might be of interest to Holder
researchers.

I would add the following concerning my own lines. I am not descended from
the Henry Peters Jr. who is mentioned below. But I am descended from his
parents Henry Peters Sr. and Mary Wiatt. Therefore, I am related to the
descendants of Gabriel Winston Holder and Susan H. Peters. Similarly, I am
not descended from the Blair Peters who is mentioned below. But I am
descended from his parents John W. Peters and Ruby Smith. Therefore, I am
related to the descendants of Blair Peters and Mary E. Holder.

If anybody has any corrections or additional information, it would be much
appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Jerry Bryan
