Thirza Hobbs Peffers married ? Peffers - Allen Co, Ohio

Thirza Hobbs Peffers married ? Peffers - Allen Co, Ohio

Surnames: PEFFERS, HOBBS
In researching my Hobbs ancestors I came across the daughter of Moses & Phoebe HOBBS, Thirza HOBBS (born about 1836 in Ohio) who married an unknown PEFFERS. She is listed with her parents in the 1870 Census, Shawnee, Allen County, Ohio as follows...
Peffers, Thirza age 33 f b. ohio
Peffers, Ann E. age 14 f b. ohio
Peffers, Swain age 12 m b. ohio
Peffers, Abraham A. age 6 m b. ohio

Does anyone know who the husband of Thirza HOBBS PEFFERS was? I havent yet been able to find any marriage records for this couple. From the birth years of the children, I would guess that they would of been married sometime before 1855 MAYBE in Ohio.
Any help greatly apprieciated.

Correction - sorry...
Thirza M. HOBBS was born in Pennsylvania about 1836/37. She married unknown PEFFERS in Allen County, Ohio. (maybe!)
Per the 1900 Census Shasta County, California Thirza is listed as a widow and as having had four children. I have only found three...
Ann E. Peffers, Abraham Robert Peffers and Swain B. Peffers.
Can anyone connect with this family?

I found it!
William PEFFERS b. abt 1826 Ohio was married to Thirza HOBBS! I found them in the 1860 census living in Mifflin, Franklin Co., Ohio, listed as "William Pephers".
I backed up to the 1850 census in Franklin County, Ohio and found William listed living with
Swain Peppers age 48 b. NJ
Mary wife age 50 b. CT (Connecticut)
William age 22 b. Ohio
Marcus age 20 b. Ohio
Eliza age 18, b. Ohio
David age 16 b. Ohio
Martha age 13, b. Ohio
Mary age 10 b. Ohio
Phoebe age 8 b. Ohio

Dispite the spelling of the surname, can anyone verify this?
