    Note: ... Johann Peters [1750-1834] may have lived at Neunhuben, Danzig, at some time. Eliesabeth Töws was likely the daughter of Jacob Töws, Neunhuben 1776: 1 dau., no wife listed (Danzig Gem.).
    In the 1795 list I have assumed that the name of the senior [1750-1834] Johann Peters' wife is misstated as Helena instead of Agatha. The reference to a Johann Peters who married Helena Neufeld (b. 1771) appears to refer to Johann Peters junior [1777-1837].'

    'Peters, Johann (Danzig), nach 1. Neuenburg [V.1793], 2. Nieder-Chortitz [V.1803], verh. Toews, Elisabeth (Danzig), nach 1. Neuenburg, 2. Nieder-Chortitz.'

    The last bit of information about Elisabeth (that she lived in Nieder-Chortitz) is incorrect, as she had died by the time Johann Peters moved to Nieder-Chortitz.
