Hi Brent and Dianne
I couldn't help but butt in (I enjoyed writing that).Willie Wright Peterson married 1st Sallie Matilda Robinson b1862 then Lila Gertrude Melvin. I've got all 1st children. I've got names of Irene, Wright and Annie Laurie from 2nd marriage but no more.Willie's father was Marsden C Peterson (is the "C" for Campbell?)Marsden was son of Fleet R Peterson b 1793 Sampson Co and Mary Matthis b 1797 Sampson Co. Fleet was son of Moses Peterson b abt 1760 and Rebecca Runnells - - all Sampson/Duplin Co. Fleet was my gg-gfather so we're 3rd cousins( with a "removed" or two).There's several in Sampson Co related to us: Stacy Peterson is a gson of Marsden so he's a 1st cousin to you.Dianne is a ggg-gdaughter of Moses so she's a 4th cousin.Is Irene Peterson your aunt?I met her several years back in Wilmington. I believe she helped my cousin Vincent Thorpe start his family tree and he, in turn, helped me.I'll email you with more stuff, if you want, as soon as I get myself together.
