Notes:

From Mary Varner:
Very strange. Fetters bought property in Franklin Co. in 1819. Knew the kids couldn't have been born there but couldn't find them in Fairfield Co. so I was just looking at a site fromthere and checked the 1820 census for Bloom twnsp and found Peter and Peter Jr. except last name was spelled wrong. Pete Jr kids ages were right but not Ssr. so think Sr. had already gone to Franklin Co. and daughter
