Misc. Notes
Caspar Peter, one of the three brothers, evidently settled in Heidelberg township some years after his brother, Jacob, had settled there. The first warrant granted to Casper Peter, is dated March 12, 1752, and another bears the date of June 14, 1765. He later on became possessed of other large tracts of land. He resided about one mile east of the Heidelberg church There he built a house in 1761, and in the wall of it was a stone bearing the inscription, "1761, C. P." This house was erected on one of the tracts of land which Casper conveyed to his son. Jacob, in 1785, and Jacob and Susanna, his wife, conveyed the premises to their son Casper, and he in turn to his son Godfrey, and Godfrey to his sons, Levi and Gideon H. Peter. It is not known at what time Casper Peter died, or where he is buried. His wife died in 1795, and she was buried in the old graveyard at the Heidelberg church.
