About Mileta Ellen Peterson
Mileta's daughter, Merta Mary, told the following to her own daugher in August 1938 -
My mother was an orphan at three years of age. Her people lived in Gibson County, Indiana. I know very little of them except that she was the youngest of thirteen children, and when she was about grown she went to Iowa. . . . My mother’s oldest brother and older sister, who were both married, moved to Van Buren County, and she went there and lived with them until she and my father were married.
[Ed. note: this would suggest that Alcephus Mangum, who she was living with at the time of the 1870 census, when she was age 13, was her brother rather than her father. William Mangum, Alcephus' father, died when Mileta was age 3.]
