He had four known children born in Aleppo with his first wife, Eliza McGLUMPHY, who died on 8 June 1857, and then married Elizabeth Malinda KERN and had nine more children. After the 1880 census of Roane Co, WV Elizabeth LYON, Peter's wife disappears. I assume she died as she isn't mentioned in a deed or any of the Estate Settlement. No record of her death has been found yet. Pam Contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by Pamela Villafuerte. pjvgenealogy@aol.com
