John L. Peters family, and several others left Ala. in the early part of t he 1840's. They came in covered wagons, stopping at times along the way. O ne of these stops was in another county of Ark, east of Crawford Count y. It was about a three day trip by covered wagon to Mountainburg, in Craw ford County, from where They stayed. That is the story that John L.'s youn gest son Peter Silas told. He wasn't born then, but I assume he was told t hat story. They stayed there about a year.
While there, one daughter met and married her husband. Nothing more is k nown about her. They think her name might be Catherine Questionable. The p lace is possibly Russeville, or Clarksville. When John L. decided to mo ve on, and settled down in Crawford County. She stayed there, and they nev er saw her again.
I show him born in Anderson county, TN. due to the fact that Henry was a p roperty tax payer there in 1802.
