Notes


Godparents in Prussia at the baptism of "Petrus" were Petro Simon of Bengel & Christina Simon of Bengel. Peter Simon was present at the probate of his father's estate in Spencer County, Indiana in 1856. Birth locations of their children indicate that Peter and wife his Paulina (Polly) apparently lived in Illinois in 1854, had moved to Iowa by 1858, later returning to Indiana to settle in Cannelton, Perry County (the family appears in the 1870 Census of Troy Township, Perry County). Paulina died in Cannelton in 1906. Cause of death is listed as senility. According to the 1880 census, Peter was a coal miner. Peter died in Cannelton, Perry County, in 1911 of cardiac asthma at age 81. The death record lists him as Prussian and his parents as Prussian, names unknown. The date of birth on his tombstone is June, 1830, however the birth record from Erden Catholic Church states he was born in December, 1830.
