John H. Peoples and Flora C Shaw Peoples
Hi, Looking for John H. Peoples born 1858-1859 in Tennessee. His parents were born in Tennessee. He married Flora C. Shaw (born 1864 in Mississippi) in New Orleans 23 Mar 1885. They had 3 children: John H Peoples Jr 1888 in Georgia; Sallie M. Peoples 1890 in Georgia, and Flora Lee Peoples born 1896 in Georgia. On the 1900 Census, John H. Peoples is widowed, living with sister in law, Sallie Schneider. On 1910 Census, married to Mary R. Peoples with stepchildren Mary Bolk (Balk)1883, and Frank Bolk 1887, and daughter Flora Lee Peoples 1896. Then I am at a wall. What happened to Flora C Shaw? I think John was living in Atlanta, Georgia in 1891. Maybe Flora died between 1896 and 1900 in Atlanta? Can't find anything. Help if you can please.

Do you know his parent's names ? Do you know if Flora was his first or second wife ? I have a John H. in my line, but I do not show a Flora for anyone.

Re: John H. Peoples and Flora C Shaw Peoples
He married Flora C Shaw in 1885 in New Orleans. Listed as widowed with 4 year old daughter (Flora Lee) on 1900 census, living in Atlanta, GA. On 1910 Census, living in Vicksburg, MS, married to Mary Bolk Peoples for 8 years. One census list both of John H Peoples' parents born in Tennessee, another lists his father born in N.C., mother born in Tennessee. Thanks for any help.

Re: John H. Peoples and Flora C Shaw Peoples
The only things I have on my John H. is that he was born in 1855 in Fayette, Tn and died in 1930. His dad was born in NC, but I have no idea where mother was born - she was born in 1835 and died in Tn in 1874. We had found a wife for John H., was listed at Mattie with no further information. I'm not even sure what the source of that information is. My mother did the research and I am the one who computerized the information and started getting what I could from the internet... That's all I have at the moment.

Well, close, but not a total match. Thanks so much for sharing, though. I hate hitting a complete stop, and I have with several family members. It is so much fun when you find something, like a treasure hunt!
