| This treasured photo,
taken in about 1880, was recently found while
Carolyn was scanning family albums. Tucked inside
one of her mother's volumes was this stereoptican
slide - the only picture she has ever seen of the
five Peters, and the only picture she has of her
grandmother, Sarah Peters, as a girl or young
woman. Photographed from left to
right: William Blakely Peters, James Rich Peters,
Sarah Peters; above right, Elizabeth Isabella
(Belle) Peters; and seated, Hannah (Rich) Peters.
Born in
Stamford on 23 Dec 1837, at the age of
twenty-three he married Hannah (Rich), the
daughter of James & Jane (Southard). Their
children were: Jennie who passed away in 1873 at
the age of 11; Lizzie Belle who was born 29 Dec
1865; James R. Peters born 06 Jan 1868; and
daughter Sarah who was born 20 May 1872.
