PEOPLES/LETT
I am looking for further information on Hector PEOPLES to learn more about his wife, Patsy LETT, whose given name may have been Martha. She was born circa 1792, probably in Georgia.
I am hoping to find documentation for the marriage of Hector Peoples to a "Patsy" about 1815-1819. The marriage probably took place in the Pendleton/Owen/Harrison/Scott county KY area, but Jennings county, IN is another possibility.
Patsy Lett appears on a list of members of the 1817 Mussel Shoals Baptist church in what is now Owen county, KY (was Scott then) along with her brother, Daniel Lett and his wife, Mariah Osborn.
Patsy Peoples joined the Coffee Creek Baptist Church in Jennings county, IN, in May of 1822 as one of the constitutional members, along with John & Zilphia Hopkins.
Hector Peoples appeared on a tax list in Jefferson co, Indiana in 1816.
"A list of persons due taxes to William Vawter for the year 1815 and paid by me, James Vawter, to colect in 1816. [sic]
A list of taxable property not listed for the year 1816 which is listed by me, James Vawter and Collected”:
includes:
Hopkins, John
Lott, Balim
Peoples, Hector
Hector Peoples purchased land in Jennings co IN at the Jeffersonville IN land office 23 Nov 1817 (80a E 1/2 SW section 20 T5N R8E). In Indiana, The State Archives has the surveyors’ field notes, plat books, tract books, registers of receipts, Registers and Receivers journals, and other records from the Jeffersonville land office. I would like to hear from someone with access to those records.
