My old Dutch Peterson line (Pieterse) migrated to NJ-Virginia, to Kentucky
and some lines to Ohio. When Wm. Peterson wrote his book, Ancestors and
Descendants of Garrett Peterson and Nancy Smock...Gateway, 1985, he wrote
about their travels. This family intermarried with many old Dutch lines:
Smock, Stout, Wicoff, and on and on. You may wish to borrow from a library
to read his chapters on the Dutch Migration to Kentucky. This book is
available through the LDS, some universities and colleges have a copy. It
is no longer in print. He was a very good writer and enlivened his genealogy
books with not just names, dates but how these ancestors lived, traveled and
the times they lived in. He cites some of the Stout and Hart families as
well.
