Notes for WILLIAM PETERS:
Whatever the osurce of the material, it would appear taht the Peters line scattered across Miss, LA, GA, N.C. and S.C. Texas and Alabama (AL) especially those who can be traced back to Craven County NC. It accounts for the legend that has come down the line that the Peters line was a German ancestry by the marriage of one William Peters to Mary Marks of a Prominent German Family.
The above family genealogy was furnished by W.L. Sowers who says it was compiled by Spicer Peters (1874-1962) but that it was not accepted by the DAR for Speer's record. There is a book published in 1903 by Edward Frank Peters called "The Peters of New England" which Sowers suggest this might have come from.
It is noted that one ancestor, William Peters, born 1766 maried Laney Jordan, came to Georgia from North Carolina, It was in Craven County NC 1794 when his father-in law died. All his children were born in NC (1789-1801) His father was named William. I have found no record of the children of William Peters born 1746 and Deborah Strong of Craven County NC.

10. MATTHEW9 PETERS (WILLIAM8, WILLIAM7, WILLIAM6, JOHN5, WILLIAM4, ANDREW3, THOMAS2, THOMAS DOCKWOOD1) was born 1801 in NC, and died 1853 in Chambers County AL. He married (1) RHONDA EVANS 1815 in Putnam County GA. He married (2) NANCY OLIVER 1837 in Troup County GA. She was born 1808.
Notes for MATTHEW PETERS:
There was a William Peters in Tallapoosa County 1850-1880. He lived not far from where James k. Peters and Sidney peters Irvin lived. William's Descendants claimed there was a connection between their line and Matthew's line, though Homer Curtis Peters said he did not claim kin with them.
Matthew Peters had a brother William Peters who married in Putnam County, GA to Fraces Cates, We have no further positive record of this William Peters, though the William Peters who was in Carol County GA at the same time Matthew was in Chambers County Alabama. Later in Tallapoosa County Alabama where many of Matthew's descendants lived. This William is of the right age to have been Matthew's brother. However I found William in another county in Georgia that establishes he was of the Jesse Peters line.
However Sidney Peters Irvin wrote her children in Texas that while she lived in Tallapoosa County she had been to Matthew's and Peter's Homes. Matthew was then in Chambers County Alabama and the above William was in Carol County Georgia.
This William Peters was born in S.C. whereas our William was born in N.C. This William was the son of Jesse Peters, the Revolutionary soldier who was in Ogelthorpe County GA when Matthew was in Putnam County.
There is a Jesse Peters on the tax list of Tallapoosa County Alabama in the 1840's. This Jesse was probably the son of the Revolutionary soldier. In the 1850's there was a James Buchanan Peters in the Hackneyville area. He is reported by descendants not to have served in the confederacy but to have stayed home to take care of his widowed mother. This Buchanan Peters may have been the son of the Jesse on the Tax list. According to Buchanan's descendants there was a distant connection with the descendants of William M. Peters at Hamlet (Matthew's kinfolk). It is my belief that Jesse Peters of Ogelthorpe County Georgia and William Peters of Putnam County were brothers.
Nov 13,1823, Jesse Peters conveyed property to his son, William M. Peters, Walton County Georgia. This Establishes that William M. Peters was the son of Jesse Peters, the Revolutionary Soldier.

Notes for RICHARD LEWIS BRITT:
He was 16 years old when he joined the Army.
He was a scout for Robert E. Lee.
He owned his own farm.
After he was paroled at Appomattox Courthouse, he walked home to Jackson Gap and took a friend who had been wounded in the head. When they got home, he and his family nursed the man until he was well, then they gave him what little extra money they had to get him home.
The Yankees allowed one man in the community to keep their weapons and he kept his Winchester Rifle to kill snakes, bears, etc., and otherwise protect the area.
When he was on his way home, he met a Union soldier who had been a scout also, they became friends and exchanged knives. The knife that Grandpa Britt got was like a Bowie knife with pearl handles. We don't know who got the rifle or the knife.
The inscription on his tombstone:
R.L. Britt
April 19, 1834
Oct 29, 1914
"A Confederate Veteran Soldier"
" Remember me when you pass by
As you are now so once was I
As I am now Soon you may be
Prepare for death and follow me."
All the sisters and L. B. Britt are buried in the Britt family cemetery, which is located on a dirt road not far from Rock Springs Church in Tallapoosa Alabama. Becky has pictures of most of the tombstones. John W. Britt is buried in Rock Springs close to him.
Made a wooden chest that looked like a hope chest. He made it with his knife and there are no nails in it. The edges are dovetailed and inside there is a small tray where they kept their valuables. During the war, he buried it with their jewelry and seeds in it so the Yankees couldn't get them. Bessie Lifsey has the chest.
