Well actually there are two Peter Kester families in DeKalb Co.
Peter S. Kester who married Annabelle Widney. I believe they lived in
Wilmington Twp for a time. He is of Quaker heritage and there is a book on
the family called: The Pound and Kester families, containing an account of
the ancestry of John Pound (born in 1735) and William Kester (born in 1733)
and a genealogical record of all their descendants and other family
historical matter. Comp. by John E. Hunt. Chicago, Regan printing house,
1904.
The other is Peter Kester (probably originally spelled Keister) who married
Lydia Sherwood (my ancestors). They lived in Jackson Twp. He died young at
42 yrs old and is buried in Watsons Cemetery. They apparently were born in
PA, but also lived in Ashland Co., OH for a while. Still looking for their
parents' names.
Both Peters were born about the same year although in different places.
