Hi Y'all. Thank you, Sandra for taking the time to post Thomas' will. I'm trying to connect my Great Great Grandfather (GGF), Thomas Michael Peterson (born 1835 somewhere in GA) with his parents, grandparents, etc. I have found that a son of Thomas and Abigail (also named Thomas), born in Edgefield, SC, 1 Mar 1784, married Susannah Shaddock on 3 Nov 1817 in Jasper County, GA. There was another family of Petersons in Telfair County GA (John and James) about 1820. James had a son, George Washington Peterson, who my Grandfather James Peterson called "Uncle Wash", but I can't connect them to Thomas Michael Peterson other than that "Uncle Wash" came to the same area in Volusia County, Fl, to live after the civil war. Any help you can provide is appreciated,
