Notes |
- Mrs. Murray's grandfather, Martin Peterson, bought a tract of choice land on the north side of Paint Creek in Concord Township. He was somewhat of a genius and a man of original enterprise. On his land he established a factory for the making of farm implements and wagons, and while conducting the factory he also superintended the clearing of a large tract of land. For many years he and his family lived in a log house, but in 1832 he erected a substantial brick building which with some enlargement and modifications is still standing. Martin Peterson lived there surrounded with the various activities which he had encouraged and created until his death. He married Elizabeth Coyner, who was born in Augusta County, Virginia, July 2, 1796. Her mother's maiden name was Hannah Lawwell. After the death of Martin Peterson the old homestead descended to the ownership of his son Albert C. Peterson, Mrs. Murray's father.
