FOREWORD.
These notes of family history are published as a prelim inary study. Only proved facts are given as truth, but in the hope of eliciting something yet unknown, there are noted vague traditions, fragmentary records, slight sug gestions of a possible clue, and hypotheses worthy at least of careful scrutiny. He who adds a single stone to this cairn rearing to the memory of our ancestors, aids in a sacred work. Corrections and additions of whatever nature, if supported by proper evidence, will be gladly received by the editor of this book. The record can be perfected only through the sympathetic co-operation of every branch of the family. M. B. F. Poughkeepsie, New York. 1896.

PETERS.
The English family of Peters is presumably of French descent, but immediately derived from Flanders. '' Roger Petrus, the Flamand," is named in the Domesday Book, 1085-6. It is probably he, also, who is called Roger de Pistre in the list of men accompanying Duke William to England, preserved in the Church of Dives, Normandy, and in the Roll of Battle Abbey, 1066. The name appears variously as Petrus, Pistre, Petre, Peter and Peters. The family was early established in Cornwall and Devon. In the reign of Henry IL, 1216-72, the Manor of Compton was given by Lady Alice Pole to Petre of Tor Brian, and this spot seems to have been a centre of disper sion. In the latter part of the fifteenth century, John Petre and his wife .L~.1.lice Colin, were living at Tor-t{ewton in the Parish of Tor-Brian. They were the parents of (1) William Petre, Secretary of State under Henry VIII., Edward VI., Mary and Elizabeth, from 1543 to 1571; (2) of John Petre, who remained in Devon, the male line of his descendants be coming extinct in the seventeenth century; and of C) WILMOT PETRE, who married her kinsman, PETRE OF Bow AY, Parish of Stillingford near Exeter, with issue,-Otto, whose male line became extinct before 1700; and THOMAS, whose grand son, HENRY PETRE, married DEBORAH TREFFEY and settled in Cornwall about 1600. He represented the borough
1 Sir William Petre received from Henry the estate of Ingersfield in Essex. His son, Sir John was made Baron of Writtle, in r6o3. From him is descended the Essex family of Petre. To this line belonged the Reverend Richard Peters, r 704-76, Secre tary of the Province of Pennsylvania. He came to Philadelphia in 1735 as the Assistant Rector of Christ Church. Two years later, he was made Proprietary Secretary in charge of the Land Office, He \Yas Provincial Secretary and Clerk of the Council from 1762-75, and rector of Christ Church and of St. Peter's, Philadelphia. See Dorr's History of Christ Church. For the Philadelphia family of Peters, his descendants, see the Sharpless Genealogy. 6 PETERS. of Fowey in the first Parliament of James I. His son, Thomas Petre, married Elizabeth Mitchell, of Harlyn, Corn wall, where their descendants continue to live under the name of Peter. This Thomas Peter was a zealous royalist during the Great Rebellion. Vlhen imprisoned by Crom well, it was recorded that he was '' released through the influence of his maternal kinsman, Hugh Peters." The Devonshire family, being Protestants, are said to have added the "s" to the name to distinguish themselves from their Catholic cousins, the descendants of Lord Petre. It is also said to have been assumed during a sojourn in Wales, and then adopted by the family in Cornwall. This statement of Burke accords with traditions of Dr. Charles Peters's descent, surviving in distinct lines of his descend ants ;-the one, that he came from Wales, intercourse with sisters there being maintained during his life, and the other that he was from Penzance, Cornwall. The fore-name, Charles, recurs in successive generations of the Cornish family.

Our own family was planted in America by Dr. Charles Peters. There are but few traces of his life here, and no evidence exists fixing his English home or parentage. Scattered but authentic mention of him is found in official documents. The first occurrence of his name discovered, is in the census of New York for 1703, entered as follows: "Dr. Peters: Family, 1 male, 1 female, 1 female child." 1 He married Mary Hewlett, with known issue reaching_ adult life, of five. sons and three daughters. His son, Valen tine Hewlett, was born in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, August 18, 17 16 ; but careful search of the Proprietors' Records finds no trace of Dr. Peters's residence there. He 2 was living in Hempstead, Long Island, February 2, 1720. His will is dated Hempstead, February 17, 1731, and was probated at New York April 3, 1733. 3 The house of Dr. Charles Peters is still standing in Hemp stead, on Fulton Street, the second house from Main Street. It is owned by Mr. Thomas Henry Clowes, whose grand father bought it in 1770, from James Peters, son of Valen tine Hewlett Peters. Until within a few years, the rear of the house was unchanged, shingled to the ground, and con taining two low-studded rooms with heavy beams, great fire-places about the central chimney, low mantels and chimney closets. These old rooms were removed in 1890, but there still remain the floor-timbers and one mantel, while the parlor floor, Mr. Clowes asserts, is that "our ancestors walked over." In the garden, a gnarled grape vine covering a long arbor, is probably as old as the house itself. The land attached, and sold by James Peters, was

He is there named as Charles Peters, Surgeon. 3 See Copy of Will, Appendix I., p. 149. 8 DR. CHARLES PETERS. from forty to fifty acres, extending from the corner of Fulton and Main Streets to Franklin Street, and northward to the Bedell lands. The burial place of Dr. Charles Peters is unknown, as is also that of his wife, Mary Hewlett Peters, and of his eldest son, Dr. Charles Peters 2d, who died in 1766. They were probably buried in the old village ground at Hempstead (adjoining the Presbyterian Church), and theirs are among the hundreds of nameless graves whose stones were torn up dui:ing the Revolution and used as hearth-stones or oven bottoms by the soldiers quartered in the old meeting-hou~e. These unmarked graves begin very near those of his sons, Valentine Hewlett, Edward and John, shown in the frontis piece. DESCENT OF MARY HEWLETT PETERS.
On August 15, 1646, were married, at the old Dutch Church in Nieuw Amsterdam, I. "Louis Hulet wedr van Wackraet Rutte, en Helena Appelgat, Wede van Thomas :ffarington." The above "Hulet of Buckinghamshire" was in Hemp stead at the Division of Land in 1647. He married (third), 1648, -- Marwyn, of England, who is believed to be the mother of his children. 1 Issue: II. 1. Jane, = Adam Mott. z. John, d. unm. at Hempstead. 3. Lewis, d. unm. at Cow Neck. 4.

Their graves are at Hempstead, marked by small field stones, rudely cut with the letters G. H. 1722; M. H. 1733; aged 7S. 3 Landlord of "The Stone Hou:.e." ISSUE- OF DR. CHARLES PETERS.

George Peters, 1726-1782 (p. 81). Anne Peters, = Timothy Smith. Charity Peters, = Richard Smith. The order of the above names is merely inferential. There is some reason to suppose that Mary was the eldest child. There were probably others, who died in infancy. Of the younger daughters, it is only known that Anne Peters and Timothy Smith were married by license, at Saint George's Church, Hempstead, by the Reverend Samuel Sea bury, February 19, 1744. The baptismal register of the church records that their children, Deborah and Catharine Smith, were baptized March 16, 1762; Mary and Charles Peters Smith, April 16, 1762. Letters of administration were given to Anne Smith, wife of Timothy Smith, late of Hempstead, and to Valentine Hewlett Peters, August 9, 1769. Charity Peters was probably born after May 3, 1730, as on that day were baptized, by the Reverend Robert Jenney, "John, Edward and George, sons, and Anne, daughter, of Charles and Mary Peters." She was married to Richard Smith, in Saint George's Church, by the Reverend Samuel Seabury, January 28, 1755. Richard Smith was probably the son of Joseph Smith, d. 1751, son of Joseph Smith, d. 1732, the son of John Smith, Rock., 1615-1706. Timothy Smith was also, without doubt, a great grandson of "Rock John." It is hoped that a clue to their descendants may be found by the publication of these notes. DR. CHARLES PETERS 20.
Charles Peters 2d was born bdween the years r710 and r7I4, because not of age when his father's will was written in February, 173r, while on June 27, 1735, he was one of the Petitioners for the Charter of Saint George's Church. He died between November 5 and December 20, I766, the dates of the writing and the proving of his own will. 1 His name occurs often in the records of Saint George's Church and in the Town Books of Hempstead. In Book E is an agreement made March ro, 1762, between "Dr. Charles Peters, gentleman, of the first part, and ----, yeoman." In r767 his executors, Valentine Hewlett Peters and Benja min Hewlett, offer for sale "The Plantation of Dr. Chas. Peters, on the north side of Hempstead Plains. It contains 200 acres of clear land in good fence; a large, commodious house, barns, outhouses and a stone well." This estate and the practice of Dr. Peters passed into the hands of Dr. Benja min Tredwell. The farm, lying a mile beyond East Willis ton, is now owned by Richard Robbins. Dr. Peters was married May 22, 1736, by the Reverend Robert Jenney, to JEANE DENTON, and (secondly) July 6, 1759, to RACHEL LATHAM, mother of his only surviving son. She married, secondly, December 8, 1768, John Symonson. Issue: (The order of births is not known.) III. Charles Peters, baptized June 21, 1739; probably d. i. Jeane Peters, = Samuel Skidmore (p. 12).

III. JEANE PETERS. JEANE PETERS married SAMUEL SKIDMORE, 1 house carpen ter; m. lie. August 7, 1759. The will of Samuel Skidmore, dated September 21, 1762, probated September 24, names his "dear and well-beloved wife Jeane," his daughter Su sannah, his brothers Walter, Nathan and Joseph, his sister Mary, and appoints as executors his "father, Charles Peters, and his ·father, Joseph Skidmore." Their daughter, IV. SusANNAH SKIDMORE= DANIEL LEFFERTS, by m. lie., dated July 13, 1782. There all trace of mother and daughter is lost. Miss Anne Van Wyck, to whom the editor is in debted for many suggestions, recalls the family tradition of one "Cousin Jenny Searing," whom she believes to have been this sister of her grandmother, Susannah Peters Hew lett. As no trace can be found of Elizabeth, who married Daniel Searing, Miss Van Wyck suggests that she may have died soon after her marriage, and have been succeeded by her sister, the widowed Jeane Peters Skidmore. Neither is there any trace of the descendants of Mary Peters and James Willis.

The younger children had remained there with their uncle, the famous merchant, Solomon Fowler. He married (2d) Miss LocKwoon, of Stamford, Conn. John Peters was a tea merchant in New York, and a ship owner largely engaged in trade with China. He made a fortune, entirely lost by fire and shipwreck within a few months. Much testimony remains to his lovely character, and to the philosophy with which he bore his reverses. He had issue: IV. Harriet Peters, d. unm. Maria Peters, d. unm. Seraphine Peters,} d . .

WILLIAM PETERS, youngest child of Valentine Hewlett Peters, was born May 13, 1764. Much uncertainty exists in regard to his life and descendants.

The Tredwell MS. says, "he married ANN---, a Quakeress, and they were the parents of Deborah Ham ilton." In the Register of Saint George's Church, Hempstead, is recorded the baptisms, -- 1783, of

A name on a lichened stone in the Hempstead graveyard, a single entry on the mouldering pages of Town and State Records, are the only legal evidences of the_ existence of Enw ARD PETERS, fourth son of Dr. Charles Peters, beyond the mention of him in the will of his father and of his mother. Born March 25, 1723; died March 27, 1780. In the Town Book of Hempstead, E., p. ro8, he is recorded among the petitioners for a new highway, May 27, 1749, and to his name is appended the note, "Edward Peters lives on the north side" (of Hempstead Plains). In the State Library, Albany, in iWarriage Bonds, vol. 1, p. 917, is the entry of an application for a marriage license, 1 May 11, 1758, to CATHARINE CASSIDY, Spinster. The bonds were given May 30, 17 58, by "Edward Peters, of Queens County, Hatter, and William Atkinson, of the City of New York, Butcher." Of Catharine Cassidy-" Old Aunt Kate Peters," "Grand mother Kate Peters "-the editor has heard many traditions, particularly among the descendants of James Peters, of Westbury, whose granddaughter, Mrs. Oliver (p. 80), claims her as her great-grandmother. There is every evidence but the documentary proof, that James Peters was the son of Edward, and it is very probable that several of the unplaced names on page r6r are of Edward's children.
III. JAMES PETERS.
JAMES PETERS, of Westbury, is said to have been a Quaker, who '' married out."

GEORGE PETERS, youngest son of Dr. Charles Peters, was born at Hempstead, April r3, 1726, and died on the Pleasant Valley farm, in Dutchess County, in the fall of 1782. He married (at Saint George's Church, Hempstead, by the Rev'd Samuel Seabury), July 23, 1749, SARAH SMITH (daughter of 1 Abel Smith and Ruth Jackson ), born October 31, 1732. They lived for a time at Littleworth, now Glenwood, Oyster Bay. In 1764, they moved to the Charlotte Precinct, Dutchess County, settling on an estate of three hundred and fifty acres in that part of the township of Clinton, set off as Pleasant Valley in 1821. The homestead was on the Dutchess Turnpike, just east of the Upper Valley, near the site of the second toll-gate. The house, although entirely remodeled, is still standing among old locust trees and a magnificent black walnut, probable contemporaries of George Peters. The Will of George Peters 2 is dated February 4, 1777, and was probated December 2, 1782. He therein names himself as '' Yeoman and cooper." On the Pleasant Valley farm was always in operation a cooper-shop, in which successive generations of boys were trained. The exact time and cir cumstances of his death are unknown. Mr. George Ger mond, his last surviving grandson, says he died of a fever, resulting from exposure on a journey to the southeast, in charge of a herd of cattle for use of the British Army. His

III. CHARLES PETERS. nr. MAURICE SMITH PETERS.
CHARLES PETERS, third son of George Peters, was born in r758. MAURICE SMITH PETERS, the fourth son, was born in r 760. His name is written Morris, in his father's will. On a family record made from tradition, about 1840, it is said they " were tories, and went to Nova Scotia or to the West Indies." The former place was probably the refuge of Charles, the latter of Maurice. They were Loyalists, and in the British Army. In the roll of Capt. Lester's Company, Third Battalion of the DeLancey Brigade, taken prisoners at Lloyd's Neck in r780, is the name of Sergeant Charles Peters. Hewlett Peters (p. r 20), son of their younger brother, Hewlett Peters, was wont to say that they came often, with their army friends, to their father's house at Pleasant Valley. Their nephew, George Germond (p. r37), has added that it became necessary to make these visits secretly, and that they had many narrow escapes from capture. A neighbour had sworn that did they come again, they should not leave the town alive. But Charles came as usual, soon after, and when he had finished his visit, in the early gray of the dawn, rode in full accoutrements to the house of the neighbour, arousing the man to say that he had heard he was wanted,-here he was. Then shouting defiance, he set spurs to his horse and galloped away. CHARLES PETERS, presumably the above, was a grantee of Parrtown (Saint John, N. B.), receiving Lot 1034. There HEWLET1 PETERS. 107 he disappears from record. A tradition exists among the descendants of his cousin, James Peters, that he went thence to Upper Canada, and that a Peters of our family settled at Toronto. Mr. Germond also said that in his childhood, about I 808, there came to his home on Germond Hill, his uncle and aunt "from the Provinces," with a little boy, James, who spent the winter there, going to school with him. His only dis tinct remembrance was of the strong feeling that they '' were different from us." It is probable that after the close of the Revolution, Maurice drifted into a sea-faring life, finally settling in the West Indies. Mrs. Hannah Germond Vosburgh, daughter of Jemima Peters, says " There was Uncle Maurice, too; he was a sailor." Mr. Hewlett Peters also recalls the visit about 1812-of a sailor uncle to the Pleasant Valley home stead, bringing the children gifts of Indian shells and ban dannas. Later, notice was there received from the British authorities in some one of the Bahama Islands, of the death, intestate, and without legal heirs, of this uncle. No action was taken to learn more, and the clue was soon lost. Many efforts have been vainly made to trace the probable descendants of Charles. The story of these two grandsons of our immigrant ancestor must remain unwritten.
III. HEWLETT PETERS.

Admitted to Probate December 2, 1782. (The original MS. of this Will is preserved in the Room of the Court of Appeals, Albany.) APPENDIX VI. THE HEMPSTEAD GRAVES. The frontispiece of this book is from a water-colour sketch made by Miss Harriette Peters, of Saint John, in November, 1890. The graves are situated in the grounds of the Presbyterian Church, on Washington Street, Hempstead, and are so near the side of the church that it is possible that the undiscovered graves of Charles and Mary Peters are beneath its foundations. Four stones are of red sandstone, with clear cut inscriptions, as follows:- Sacred to the Memory of Valentine H. Peters, Esq. who Dept. this Life October 6, 1786. Aged 70 Years 1 month & 26 Days. Sacred to the Memory of Ruth Peters Wife to Valentine H. Peters, Esq. ·who Dept this Life Augst -- 1783 Aged 62 Years 3 Months & 26 Das In Memory of Edward Peters who departed this life March 27th 1780 Aged s7 years and 2 days 160 HEMPSTEAD GRAVES. In Memory of John Peters who departed this Life DecetJ.ber 24th 1806 Aged 85 years 9 months And 15 days. Near these memorials to the second generation, are three marble stones marking the resting places of John Peters (2d), son of the above John, his wife Rhoda, and their young daughter Elizabeth, APPENDIX VII. UNPLACED NAMES. In Church records and in official documents, in scattering newspaper aotices and in fragmentary tradition, are occasional mention of Peters names which may possibly be of our family. From great store of such memoranda, the editor gives a few selections in the hope that they may come to the notice of someone in whom they will stimulate inquiry, and possibly lead to the answering of many perplexing questions. The following marriages recorded in the register of St. George's Church, Hempstead, may very possibly be of the children of Edward Peters (p. 78). Feb. 27, 1779. Phoebe Peters to Timothy Brooks. Sept. 12, 1782. Ruth Titus of Oyster Bay, to Samuel Peters of Hempstead. Oct. 3, 1784. (Name illegible) to Samuel Peters. 1789. Catharine Peters of North Hempstead, to Samuel Denton.
