PETERSON/LIPSCOMB, SC - AL - TX

LMGaunt — 1 Sep 2008 2:58:18 GMT

Hi All,

I'm researching my PETERSON/LIPSCOMB Family. Here's what I have:

Peter PETERSON (b abt 1790, SC or AL -- d?) m Sarah LIPSCOMB (b abt 1794, SC or AL -- d?)

Sarah d/o David LIPSCOMB (1759, Louisa Co., VA -- 1816, Spartanburg, SC) & Katherine SMITH (abt 1775, VA -- betw 1850 & 1852, ?)

Children of Peter & Sarah PETERSON:
1. Florina (abt 1815, TN or SC -- ?) m William E. GIBSON/GILSON (b abt 1810, TN -- ?)

2. Catherine KATY (1823, AL -- 1915, Locker, San Saba Co., TX) m Burse B. BLACKWOOD (1820, AL -- 1897, Locker, San Saba Co., TX)

3. Peter (abt 1832, TN -- ?)

Sarah LIPSCOMB PETERSON had a sister, Elizabeth who married a James PETERSON (of Jefferson Co., AL); another sister, Unity Eunice m a Mr. PETERSON and had sons, David L. & Edward. Her brother, Hobson, m a Miss PETERSON & another brother, Minor,(b abt 1800, SC -- ?) m Nancy PETERSON (b abt 1799, NC -- ?)

I would assume that these PETERSON were related to my Peter PETERSON.

Lawrens Peterson and Nancy Jones Peterson

Tomhenrickjr — 16 Jul 2008 9:50:56 GMT

I've noticed several queries to this regard and thought I should post findings:

Lawrens Peterson born Aberdeenshire Scotland 1741, died Virgina 1801. Son of Angus Laurin Peterson (said to have fought at Culloden with either Stewarts or MacLaurins) and Hannah Stewart. Lawrens married Nancy Jones of Kirkcudbright Scotland (sister to John Paul Jones) before coming to Virginia in 1759. Lawrens and Nancy had three children that lived beyond their first year: Nancy, Henry and William.

Lemuel is often cited as being in this generation however further research shows he was not born until 1815 and died in 1879.

PLEASE NOTE, THIS WAS POSTED FOR REFERENCE ONLY. I AM NOT RELATED TO, NOR AM I RESEARCHING THIS FAMILY, I’VE ONLY DONE A COPY AND PASTE FROM OUR LOCAL NEWSPAPER FYI.

THIS INFO HAS BEEN POSTED WITH THE PERMISSION OF THE EDITOR OF THE COLUMBIA BASIN HERALD.
Lawrence 'Larry' D. Peterson
Posted: Monday, Apr 21, 2008 - 12:47:47 pm PDT
COLUMBIA BASIN HERALD, MOSES LAKE, WASHINGTON STATE

Lawrence "Larry" D. Peterson, 80, lifelong resident of Grant County and former longtime PUD manager, passed away Wednesday, April 16, 2008 at McKay Healthcare and Rehabilitation in Soap Lake. Memorial services will be held at 2 p.m., Friday, April 25, 2008, at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church. Arrangements are in care of Kayser's Chapel and Crematory, Moses Lake. You may sign the guestbook or leave a note for the family at www.kayserschapel.com.

Larry was born Jan. 20, 1928, in Ephrata, son of the late Ernest Paul and Laura (Padgitt) Peterson. He was raised in Grant Orchards, just outside of Soap Lake and attended schools in Ephrata. While in high school he met Lorrayne Roberts and they were later married in Ephrata on Nov. 2, 1947. They continued to live in Ephrata where Larry worked for Morrison-Knutson Construction Company on the area canals. In 1949 he began working for the Public Utility District and over the years worked up through different positions until he became the PUD manager; he retired in 1983. Since that time he has worked as a public power consultant for numerous companies with an interest in the Pacific Northwest.

In the 1960s Larry was instrumental in writing a treaty with the Wanapum Indians to re-establish their fishing rights. At another time, while on vacation to Sweden, he left literature on the Moses Lake and Grant County areas with the Swedish Trade Center, which led to Eka-Nobel and Union Carbide Companies establishing plants here. He also helped start Granco Credit Union for the PUD employees.

He loved golfing, hiking in the area, extensive travel including trips to China, Guatemala, the Panama Canal, Australia, Russia, Sweden, and Japan, and was a true Philatelist (stamp collector).

He was a longtime member of the Moses Lake and Ephrata Rotary Clubs and was the Moses Lake Rotary Club President in 1972. Over the years of Rotary membership, he exhibited the ideals of Rotary time and time again with numerous financial gifts and awards. He was also a former member of the Toastmasters and named Jaycees "Young Man of the Year" in 1963. He was on the Moses Lake Port District Board since 1998 and a long-serving member of the boards of the Housing Authority of Grant County, the Grant County Economic Development Council, and the Big Bend College Foundation. He was active with the Boys & Girls Club, the Cooperative Educational Foundation for the Guatemala Literacy Project, and always willing to lend advice and a helping hand for many community projects.

He is survived by his loving wife of more than 60 years, Lorrayne Peterson, Moses Lake; three children and spouses, Brian and Anna Peterson, Puyallup, Wash., Nancy Kay and Jim Hale, Eureka, Calif., Jeanne-Marie Peterson and John Poling, Soap Lake; six grandchildren, Christina Munro, Aimee Peterson, Kevin Peterson, Eric Hale, Serin Von Reigers, Jessamyn Clark; two great-grandchildren, Makena Munro and Jack Munro; and "Orson" the cat.

A sister, Esther Fitzgerald preceded him in death.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Guatemala Literacy Project, c/o Glenn Chamberlain, National Project Co-Coordinator, 14259 Wenatchee Ave., N.W., Ephrata, WA 98823. This is a project through the District 5060 Rotary Clubs to provide books, computers and mini-libraries for the Guatemala Schools.

family geneology book

MattLisaH — 28 Mar 2007 3:30:25 GMT

I have a book called "The Olden Days" by LaVerne Hutchins Bish published in 1973. It is a Henderson family history. However, a great deal of research is in this book regarding the Pedersen/Peterson lineage from my gggrandmother. Jens Pedersen, his wife Zine Kjerstine Poulsen, and their daughter Karen Marie Pedersen immigrated to the US by ship in 1871, arriving in the Spring. They Anglicized their names to John, Christine and Mary Catherine. She married Alphaeus Fletcher Henderson. Jen's father was Peder Pederson, married to Mette Marie Christendatter, daughter of Christen Pedersen and Kirsten Sorensen. They were Peder and Mette were married in 1826. parents were Peder Pedersen and Else Anderdatter. There is much more information. There are also pictures of people and some places.
I plan to have a copy of the book made soon (reprinting). If anyone is interested in a copy of this book, please contact me.

RebaShepard — 19 Nov 2001 4:41:37 GMT

28 March, 2001. Seek proof of parents of Lemuel Peterson, born 1764, presumably in Cumberland Co, NJ. In his application for a Revolutionary War pension, which was rejected, he claims he "left his father's house in Cumberland Co, NJ in 1785 to become a privateer". One unsourced old family history book names siblings Henry, William and Jane. Located Henry and William's baptismal records, but none for Lemuel or Jane. Was his father Laurens Peterson? Did Laurens move from Cumberland Co NJ to Gloucester Co NJ? Was Lemuel perhaps born in Gloucester Co and moved back to Cumberland Co? This Henry and William moved to WV, then descendants of one on to KY. Lemuel moved to Deleware, then Ohio territory, then Indiana, then Illinois where he died sometime before 1850. Lemuel was apparently much married, with at least 4 wives and possibly 15 children. Any assistance will be sincerely appreciated. rshep70683@aol.com

Hazel I. Petersen b. 1903 to Peter Petersen & Clara Bowden

LCallawayWA — 17 Aug 2007 1:19:10 GMT

I am trying to find out what happened to Hazel I. Petersen.

She was born in 1903 in Sabula, Jackson County Iowa to Peter Petersen and Clara Bowden.

From what I have found, her father Peter died after the 1905 Iowa Census and before the 1910 US Federal Census.

Her mother, half brother Albert Swift Petersen and her uncle Joseph Bowden were listed on the 1910 US Federal Census for New Lyme, Monroe Co, WI.

From there, Hazel, her mother, half brother and even uncle have eluded me.

I wouldn't mind if you had information for any or all of them, for that matter !

I am willing to share all of Hazel's parents information that I have, which is quite extensive.

NOTE: Hazel's father Peter has been listed with 2 different middle initials : Peter N. and Peter T.
and with 2 differing spellings of Petersen. They are Petersen and Peterson...and the way it was spelled at one time in Denmark was Pedersen. I have a great deal of data and research for this Petersen/Peterson branch going back to the 1800's in Egved, Vejele, Denmark...including an aerial photo of the old family farm there.

I can be reached at my forever email account of callaway525@msn.com

Thanks,

F_Evjen — 9 Jan 2007 3:13:38 GMT

I was given a box with pictures of my Mother-In-Law's family when she passed away a couple of years ago. I came across a picture of a Clarence Peterson. I think around WW2 he is in Milatry uniform. Clarence is standing next to man name Ed (unreadable last name.) I think that this pictures was taken North Dakota. I am willing to send it to a remaining family member, for I believe he is just a friend of my mother-in-laws family.
