Charlotte “Lottie” Benford Peters parents were Gabriel Benford and Narciss (Benford?). She was Preston Peters’ Wife. On October 27, 1878, she married Preston Peters in Opelika, Lee County, Alabama.
[Based on Information in someone else’s family tree (the Gray family tree), Lottie and Preston had the following children: Lottie Peters, Moses S. Peters (1885-August 11, 1956), and Cora Peters (1895-September 20, 1953).
In the 1910 Census, I found “Lottie” (50) living in Opelika, Alabama with her father, Gabriel (74) and mother Narcis (62). There were also two (2) grandsons in this home, Wilbert and Chester. I am not certain if they were children of hers or not. At this time, Lottie stated on the Census report that she was widowed, which means that Preston probably died.
At the age of 79, Lottie died around August 8, 1939 in Opelika, Lee County, Alabama].
