WHAT  GOD HATH JOINED TOGETHER LET NOT MAN PUT ASUNDER.  This certifies that the right of Holy Matrimony was celebrated between Martin Peters of Bradford Township, Clearfield CO., Pa. and Miss Nancy E. Appleton of the same place on the 9th of July 1865 at Bradford Township by Rev. John H. Nummer, Pastor of the E. Lutheran Church.

I talked to my aunt last night to figure out which Peters raised them it must have been Andrew or John I don"t know what year this took place as Iam not up on my wars. this happened in PA. there was a boy and a girl child found in a tree. most of my Peters family stayed in PA. William Ord Peters married Alvirda Oressa Jacobs. William was a brick maker and invented the fire brick. there is a story about how the brick recipe was stolen from the family. William lived in New Florence Mo and later moved to Mexico Mo were he lived and died. He worked for the AP Green Co. they swindled him out of the recipe and AP Green Co made lots of money, but not your family. AP Green then fired him.My aunt has those papers showing his dismissal. William had one son named Milton Ord. my grand ma Mildred, Elizabeth, Alma which her family still lives in PA at Lockheaven.
