♀Johanna Peters

Johanna Peters was the mother of Karen Andersen, who married Hans Wollesen at Hostrup, in the Duchy of Schleswig, in 1794. She was the fifth great-grandmother of Frederic Roger Curtis (1928–2007), through her daughter Karen Andersen (born about 1770).

She is known from one record: her daughter’s marriage in Hostrup church on 26 April 1794, which names the bride as the daughter of the late Anders, a smallholder, and Johanna, born Peters, of a place the register spells Hünnerup. Her husband had died by then; whether she was still living is not stated. The place has not been identified with certainty; the nearest match is Hinderup in Hellevad parish, where a family named Peters is found in the 1760s and 1770s. No record of her birth, marriage or death has been found.
