    The reference to a Johann Peters who married Helena Neufeld (b. 1771) appears to refer to Johann Peters junior [1777-1837]. Johann Peters junior was an Anwohner [resident] at Neuendorf in both the lists of 1802 and 1808. The name Hermann Peters is entered twice in the 1803 list and I assume one entry should read Johann Peters junior. Helena Neufeld was a daughter of Solomon Neufeld, Ellerwald III 1776: 1 son, 1 dau., Ellerwald Gem.'
