John N. or John B. "Jack" Peters from Sumner, Lawrence Co., IL

Seeking info. on John "Jack" Peters, b. about 1931-1933 in
Sumner, Lawrence Co., Illinois. His father was John N. Peters, b. Illinois; his mother was Missouri Boggs "Zow" Peters, b. 1886 in Greenup Co., Kentucky.

Jack's father died when he was a young boy, sometime in the early 1930s. John N.Peters was married previously and had older children. His mother, Missouri or Zow, died several years after that. Jack was then raised by his aunt Ligeia Boggs who later married a military man named Ludlum.

In 1950, Jack and aunt Ligeia were listed on the New York Passenger Lists as arriving on a military ship that sailed from Germany, headed to Greenup Co., Kentucky. Jack was listed as John B. Peters, age 19.

On the 1930 census for Sumner, Christy Twp., Lawrence Co., Illinois, J.N. Peters and Zow Peters and son Paul and Aunt Ligeia Boggs lived together as a family. J.N. Peters was an engineer in the oil fields. Ligeia was a medical student.

Am trying to locate more information about this family. Jack married and has a daughter named Joanna who lives in California. Jack and Ligeia both died in Florida and are buried there.

Any help or even the slightest clue would be appreciated.
