6. Christian PETERS ⁽¹⁾ was born on 16 Oct 1760 in Rockingham Co., VA... He died on 18 Oct 1837 in Monroe Co., WV.. He was buried in Peterstown, Giles Co., VA..⁽¹⁰⁾ Christian was an American Revolutionary soldier who served in Lafayette 's corps at Yorktown.
I am only speculating that Christian was Henry's bro, but from what I re ad in West Virginia Place Names page 481, this is what I have come up wit h. I can be 100% right or 100% wrong.

Could this Lafayette's corps be where John L. got his middle name from? T he L in John L. Peters' name stands for Lafayette. Per Ancestry.com.
