Biographical history
Loyalist William Peters, the son of Susannah Palmer and Thomas Peters, was born in 1772 in New York. At the end of the American Revolutionary War, he relocated, with his parents, to what is now New Brunswick and resided first at Fredericton, York County and later at Upper Hampstead, Queens County. On 1 June 1791 he married Charlotte Haines (1773-1851), and they had no fewer than 15 children: Sarah, Millicent, Samuel Leonard, Susan Hunt, Carleton, Charlotte Mary, Thomas William, Frances Elizabeth, John Haines (1807-1823), Eliza Abigail, Margaret Ann, Isabel, James Wellington, Phoebe A.
