My friend, Noreen, is looking for her Grandmother. Her history search has found her that Jacob Peterson (she thinks he may be her Great-Grandfather), lived in Howick and purchased lot 19 concession 14 Howick township in 1875. He sold the east half to Samuel George Selby in 1878, who in turn sold it back in 1879. In 1881 he again sold the 100 acres, this time to Joseph Mahoud. The 1879 atlas for Huron County shoes Jacob Peterson on this lot on the map of Howick Twp.The only other thing she found out was that Jacob Peterson was on the cemetary records for Harris Baptist Cemetary as ,"Jacob Peterson died January 13th, 1881. Age 80 years native of Nova Scotia.
That is all she could find. That is why I am doing this.So...
If anyone out there can help her, she is looking for ANY information on OPHA JANE PETERSON.She thinks Jacob was Opha's father, but the lack of info is getting her down. So, if anyone out there knows ANYTHING about Opha Jane Peterson, get back to me with it. I am doing this as a favor to a friend.
Thanks in advance to those who respond.
Sincerest hopes, Jo Anthony
