Biography

1803 - Henry Warman Peters was born on August 3, 1803 in Folkestone, Kent, England. He was the first born child of Henry Peters and Mary Standing. [1]

1830's - ""Emigration to Canada"" To petition for and obtain a Land Grant you mostly had to clear the land, as far as I know, but I haven’t found the actual requirements for the 1830’s – maybe you could just develop land that didn’t need much clearing. The Warmans arrived in 1831 and their land was virgin forest. Henry Warman’s Land Grant went though in 1853 and George Warman’s in 1847. On the other hand Henry Peters Jr. obtained his Land Grant in 1836. Why so much quicker? Could he have been there first or perhaps have come with the Warman brothers?

Henry Jr. established the area still known as Peters Mills, New Brunswick and had farmland, as well as three different mills on site. Latterly he became a Justice of the Peace. The first English settlers apparently arrived in the area in the very late 1820’ so it’s feasible Henry Jr. could have been one of them. There were already a few French settlers. Henry Jr. did not go upriver to Molus River and but settled just outside of Rexton [2]

1838 - at age 36 he married Rowena Noble Atkinson, age 23, in October 1838 in Richibucto, Kent, New Brunswick, Canada.

1839 - his first child, Henry William Peters was born May 3, 1839 in New Brunswick.

1859 - at age 56, his eleventh child, Rowena Caroline Peters was born.

1861 - Age: 58; Relation to Head of House: Head. Residence: Richibucto, Kent, New Brunswick, Canada. [3]

1879 - died at age 75 on April 9, 1879 in Richibucto, Kent, New Brunswick, Canada.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Henry by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Henry:
