I have not been able to find death records for Peter or his wife, Clerinda. I do know the following:

In 1850, Peter and Clerinda are living in Johnson County, Kentucky with their children; Solomon, Nancy, Thursey, Sarah, Thomas, Peter, and Arthur.

In 1860, they are still living in Johnson County with their children; Thomas, Peter and Arthur. Peter cannot write. Clerinda cannot read or write.

In 1870, they are living in Flatgap, Johnson County, Kentucky and listed on the same census page are the following children with their families; Thomas (wife Nancy); Arthur (wife Lucinda); Peter (wife Martha).

I do not find Peter and Clerinda on the 1880 census in Flatgap.

If you have any information to share regarding the family, I'd love to hear from you.
