Note	BIRTH Born 22 April 1748 at Lebanon, New London, Connecticut, son of William and Ruth Peters. ("Connecticut Births and Christenings, 1649-1906," database, <i>FamilySearch</i> (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:F74D-P42.) WARREN, KENT, CT: Joseph Peters of Warren was named to distribute the estate of Samuel Carter, late of Warren, April 16, 1814. (Litchfield District Probates, Vol 10, p. 160, FHL film 4735.) Land record in Warren, Kent, Connecticut: After marrying Elizabeth he sold holdings in Warren, especially deeds of Dec. 18, 1822; Jan. 3, 1823; Sept. 23, 1825. Soon after that he and Elizabeth moved to Bloomfield, Ontario, New York to live with his daughter Asaneth and her husband Darius Carter at their Inn on Main Street. DARIEN, GENESEE, NEW YORK: In 1826 or 1827 Joseph and Elizabeth moved to Darien. Joseph's son Joseph Jr. was one of the original settlers there in 1809 ("Gazette and Biographical Record of Genesee Co., N.Y.," F.W. Beers, p. 408.) They lived near the "Old Buffalo Road" (Now Highway 29) from Albany to Buffalo. Land Records: Joseph Peters Sr. purchased land in Genesee Co., NY in 1828 and 1829, (Land Records of Genesee County, New York, Vol 13, p. 483; Vol. 29, p. 552, FHL film 1376283) He sold land in two separate transactions Dec. 2, 1833. Joseph Peters "and Elizabeth his wife" were present. There is a signature for both of them on one document, only Joseph's signature on one of them, although the signatures look like identical handwriting and were probably written by the same person. Their grandson Theodore Curtis Peters was the clerk at the land office and certified both Joseph and Elizabeth were present, that Elizabeth was there and gave permission "for the sale separate and apart from her husband." (Deed Records of Genesee County, New York, Vol 29, p. 86; Vol 39, p. 26, FHL film 1376282.) REVOLUTIONARY WAR: Revolutionary War Pension: Joseph applied for a pension June 27, 1833, certifying he was 85 years old and was born at Lebanon Ct. in 1748. Elizabeth was still alive at that time. (Pension #25910 was granted.) 1830 CENSUS: Joseph Peters and Elizabeth are in Darien, Genesee, New York. Joseph is in the column for age 80-90. Elizabeth is 70-80. There is one male in the household age 15-20. That puts Elizabeth's birth between 1751 and 1760. (1830 New York Census Index, editors Ronald Vern Jackson, Gary Ronald Teeples, Family History Library book 974.7 X2pa 1830) DEATH: Joseph Peters died 27 January 1835 and is buried in the North Darien Baptist Cemetery (Now Maple Hill Cemetery.) (New York Index of Cemetery Records, Genesee County People, Typewritten page, unnumbered. Also verified by Sexton's records.) PROBATE: Probate for Joseph Peters is filed under his son's name: Joseph Peters Jr. in the Genesee County Court House, Batavia, New York. His son Joseph died Feb 16, 1846 and somehow the two people were confused because Joseph Senior's probate had been filed in 1844, 9 years after his death and two years before Joseph Junior's death. Janet Porter note: I have seen this probate and have assured myself it was filed incorrectly. It is definitely Joseph Peters Sr's probate, listing himself as a widower because Elizabeth had died by then. I informed the clerk and hopefully the problem has been corrected.
