Andrew Bird m. Magdelene Jones
Benjamin Tallman(wife Dinah Boone) lived on Smith's Creek........so did Andrew Bird(wife: Magdelene Jones). The Tallman's moved to Pickaway County, Ohio. A son of John and Rachel (POWNALL) Peters lived very close to the Tallman's in Pickaway County, Ohio.
One of Benjamin Tallman's descendents married a Slavens.
Benjamin => James => Rebecca Tallman m. Reuben Slavens
The Slaven's were from the Staunton, VA area. Possibly 5 Peters married Slavens in Pike County, Ohio:
Milton Peters m. Ruth Slavens
John Peters m. Sarah Slavens
Clinton Peters m. Elizabeth Slavens
Harriet Peters m. Franklin Slavens
Mary Lincoln Peters m. William Williams (parents: Naomi Galford & John Williams)...Naomi Galford was a grand-daughter of Naomi Slavens(m. John Galford)
John Williams(above) first wife was Delilah Cain. Delilah's sister was Sarah Cain, who married Andrew Bird Jones(son of John Jones and Elizabeth Bird). Elizabeth Bird was the daughter of Andrew and Magdelene (JONES) Bird. The Andrew Bird Jones descendents can be found in Pike County & Scioto County, Ohio.
We Peters, speculate that Mary Bird, daughter of Andrew and Madelene Bird married a James Peters first in 1749, James Peters is said to have drowned in the Susquehanna River in 1750 and posthumously a John Peters was born in Perry County, PA. We presume, Mary Bird took her child back to Chester County, Pa(due to French and Indian War) and met and married Stephen Ruddell in 1752. John Peters met Rachel Pownall and married in 1779. All the Peters
mentioned as marrying Slavens were descendants of John and Rachel (POWNALL)Peters.
