bullet  General Notes:

Peter L. Sr and his wife took their family to Jasper Co, Missouri between 1850 and 1854. The children (all born in Greene Co, Indiana) were:
Preston, b. ca 1826
Elizabeth, b. ca 1832
James B., (my guy) b. 25 Nov 1833
Isaac N., b. ca 1836
William D., b. 30 Sept 1838
George, b. 9 Sept 1840
Peter L. (Jr.), b. 30 June 1842 or 1843
Susanna L. (aka Susan), b. 7 Mar 1844
John J., b. 24 May 1846
Jefferson H. (possibly d. young), b. 7 Oct 1848

Rumor has it that the "L" in "Peter L." was "LUNCEFORD". Several of us researching Peter L. STORM and Jane BURCH feel certain that Peter L. Sr. is one of the "missing 13" children of Isaac STORM and Susanna LUNSFORD, but the proof has been elusive !
