Information contained in below Census information, shows CATHERINE PETERSON's parents being born in South Carolina.This information also shows a PETER PETERSON, 18 years in 1850, living with CATHERINE & her husband, JOHN BURRIS BLACKWOOD in Shelby County, TN.
Here is the Census Info:
1850 Shelby County, Tennessee Census, pg 185, M432,roll 895, November 29, 1850
Burras appears to be 34, occupation unreadable, not farmer born in TN;
Peter Peterson, 18 yrs Laborer, living with family;
Catherine is 30 years, born in TN;
Melissa is 10 years, attending school;
Melvina is 3 years;
Mary Catherine (listed as Catherine) is 6 months.
1880 San Saba Co., TX
Burros, 59 years, farmer, born in Alabama, father NC, mother TN;
Catherine, 58 yrs., born in Alabama, both parents SC
Family information was that CATHERINE was American Indian, but I haven't located any factual information on this.
Would appreciate any information on PETERSON family that could tie into my BLACKWOOD/PETERSON line.
Thanks,
Linda Cashen Gaunt
