Linda,
With the name "Peter" it would seem logical, but who knows? He would have to be a grandson at best. The only two sons I know for sure were Phillip, b. 14 Jan 1803, and Henry, b. 15 October 1809. There were two more on the Dearborn County, IN census for 1830 if I remember correctly and they also may have been brothers of these two - David who married Sarah Sill in 1828 and a Jacob. I am grasping at straws in this research. My husband's great-great grandmother was Susannah Barnhart who married James Laird in Indiana ca. 1815 and moved almost immediately to southern Illinois. From everything I can find on early Indiana, these are the earliest Barnharts in the state and they were in a likely place to have children float down river and settle in southern Illinois. Family tradition says James and Susannah came down the Ohio River and landed in what was Pope County, Illinois. They named their second son Henry B. Laird (Henry Barnhart Laird?) and their first daughter Mary (Polly Wolfensberger?) Polly's mother was a Susannah Miller, and our Susannah was probably the oldest daughter of Henry and Polly's children (if she was their daughter) - the oldest daughter named for wife's mother. Henry Barnhart, Dearborn Co. and Bartholomew Co. named one of his daughters Susannah as well. It all sounds good and logical but it is built on a foundation of sand! I am hoping to find someone who has a Bible record naming Henry and Polly's children.
