HORSBURGH, HOSBERG, PETERS -
After looking at the Internet for, what seems like a terribly long time, I hope that you can help
me.
I am trying to locate any records pertinent to my great-grandfather, David Peters,
b. 1842 in Virginia. He was a Black man. I do not know whether he was a slave or a free man.
The county of his birth I do not know. Subsequent census records state that he always listed
"Virginia" as his birthplace, as well as the birthplace of his parents.
In 1882, he married
Maria HOSBERG (HORSBURGH), b. 1857, in Ionia, Ionia County, Michigan. They settled
in Jackson County (Kansas City), Missouri, and raised a family of 6 children, 5 of whom survived.
Maria is sometimes referred to as MARIE, MARIAH and MARY in census records. She is also, at
times, referred to as "mulatta" or Black, when she was very clearly Caucasian, of Scotch, German
and Dutch heritage.
It would be greatly appreciated if you would help me find the "right
path" to information which will divulge Mr. Peters parentage, and home/county in Virginia.
Thanks for your patience and attention.

EVANS, REYNOLDS -
I am, hoping you can help me identify the parents, county of birth and any historical knowledge
of: Nathaniel Evans, born in Virginia in 1756, died in Rogersville, TN in July 1788, and
father of Rebecca and Sarah Evans. Wife is believed to be Mary. Nathaniel is possibly the
brother of Daniel and Peter Evans.
I have another reference to Nathaniel Evans,
born in 1756 and deceased in Sparta, White County, TN in 1786, and married to Mary
Reynolds. Are they one and the same? If not, who is the father of Rebecca and Sarah?
