I would like to dedicate this home page to my great-great-grandfather, Peter F. GALE, born in 1814 in North Carolina.I am searching for his parents and any siblings. Peter F. GALE married Mary JONES (b. 1807) in Paris, Henry County, Tennessee, on September 15, 1838.The Weakley County Census of 1850 lists his property value as 200 dollars.His property was near Gleason, TN.In 1850, he and Mary have six children living with them - five natural children and perhaps a step child (Mary was seven years older than Peter when they married) or a younger sister.The natural children are (in birth order):Julius F. (b. 1839)*, William (b. 1841), Martha (b. 1845), Sarah Palina Caroline (b. 1847), and Margaret (8 mos. old in 1850).Eliza Gale (b. 1830) may be Peter's younger sister, as she is listed as having a value of thirty dollars.* Julius is listed as "Inkas" in the census index, but I have looked at the microfilm of the original census, and it is clearly Julius, written in a copperplate handwriting.Unfortunately the mistake will never be rectified. Please contact me if you have any information on the Gale family in North Carolina.Happy Hunting!
