Peter Hefner was the son of John Jacob & Mary Mallow Hefner. He was born near Pendleton, Va (now WV). They had 7 known children: Jonathan Hefner, Jacob Hefner, Nimrod Dove Hefner, Elizabeth Jane Hefner Creamer, Amanda Hefner Hatfield, and Cornelia Hefner Eson.
The last record for Peter shows him in the 1850 Federal Census, in the 30th District of Lewis County, WV. After that time, he disappears from the records. We assume he died either in West Virginia, or perhaps along the way to Illinois. In 1855, Mary Elizabeth Propst Hefner moves to to McLean County, IL, residing near her brother-in-law, Michael Hefner.
