Dear Nola,
Thanks for the info, maybe we can start making some sence of this now. I had
wondered myself if George and Peter where brothers. I how ever did not know
where Peter was born or came from. I assumed Washington County, but didn't
know. The Peter you listed below is the Peter i was talking about. The son
age 12 (William) you listed was my Great, Great, Grand father. I knew that
Peter was married to Chatharine, but did not know of a wife before then. Any
info you can give me would be appreciated, and I thank you again for taking
the time.

Cory P. Hackett Sr.
