I am putting together my family tree and need information when my family moved to New York State and before. Some family names that I can trace to the 1860's are Harvy, John, and Albert Peffers. Any help is welcome. Thank You.

I know this is a longshot, but is Albert Peffers your father, from Ossining, NY? If so, then we met several years ago, as Albert was my father as well. If not, then sorry to bother you. You can email me and let me know. Thanks.

Re: Entry 117--I have information on this Peffers line back to Jacob Peffers, c. 1765-1804, originally from NYC. His descendants settled in Connecticut. My great-grandmother was Lydia Amanda Peffers.

It's nice to see new posts on the Peffers board! I'm not sure if Erik visits the board very often so I thought I'd post a response. Your great grandmother Lydia Amanda Peffers is the sister of our second great-grandfather Harvey. I show her as marrying Alexander Martin, but I don't have any information after that.

I've been working on the Peffers line quite a bit since these posts and was also able to find information back to Jacob, which I shared with Erik (we're half-brothers). I wish we could find out Jacob's history, who his parents were, where they were from, but in time I guess that might happen. If you'd like, I'd be happy to share our Peffers line since Harvey with you. They were in the city, then up in Westchester County.

Feel free to email me if you'd like, at davidad114@aol.com

I believe I am looking for a different line of Peffers--but-I have a scrap of paper listing David Elijah Peffers as the father of Samuel Peffers born 1877 in OH. Grandpa died Feb 12, 1972.
A cousin's grandson traced Grandpa's family to Ireland. But I never got the information.
Where to I look??

Hi Beverly,

I know there are a lot of Peffers in Ohio but honestly I have not really researched them because the Connecticut and New York Peffers have kept me busy. I'm not even sure if they are the same family, although I'm sure somewhere back there they are all related.

As for the European connection, that's difficult. The earliest records we (me and the other people I know researching our Peffers line) are able to find are back to the 1760s in New York. We have nothing to tie them to the old country yet, which is discouraging.

I'm sorry I can't be of much help. My suggestion is to keep looking, and also keep posting. Try posting on the Ohio message board, or some of the counties' boards for Ohio. Sometimes that works as well.
