KA --
I can help you out here. I don't know what new information you may have found since
you posted the message to which I'm responding, but I'll go ahead and post what I
have.
MARY PETERMAN was born 1816 to JACOB PETERMAN and MAGDALENA SPARGO. Jacob and Magdalene
were married 17 Jan 1811 in Austintown, Trumbull (now Mahoning) Co., OH. The Petermans
moved to Union Twp., Mercer Co., OH, in the spring of 1837, and I believe David Caldwell
had accompanied them. Sadly, Jacob Peterman died the following year from a stoke while
assisting in the construction a bridge across the St. Marys River to Mendon, Mercer Co.
In 1839, Magdalena married a second time to JOHANNES MEISINGER (a.k.a. JOHN MYSINGER).
As for the children of David Caldwell and Mary Peterman, I'll just focus on the ones I
have information on beyond what you have provided.
