Cesar Peters, Junior was born in 1781 to Cesar and Lois Peters, who had been sold to the  Rev. Samuel Peters. A Loyalist, Rev. Peters fled to England in 1774, leaving Cesar Peters, his wife, Lois, and their growing family to live and work on or near his Hebron property with the newly formed State of Connecticut failing to free them. In 1787, with Rev. Peters still residing in London, his nephew in Hebron attempted to settle his personal debt to his uncle by selling Cesar and Lois Peters and their eight children. Rev. Peters’ nephew, brother-in-law and a slave trader forcibly took the family to Norwich to be loaded on a ship headed for South Carolina.. When the Peters’ neighbors heard the news, they developed a plan to foil the slave trader’s intentions, concocting a story that Cesar Peters senior had stolen goods from a local tailor. (He had had clothes made but had not yet paid.) A local justice of the peace issued an arrest warrant, and the family was brought back to Hebron to “face charges.” In 1789, the Connecticut General Assembly reviewed petitions to free the Peters family and ultimately agreed to do so. Cesar Peters Junior was employed by local gentlemen farmers to farm their land. He purchased a house and land but became ill while improving his property. Sadly, he died sometime around 1829.
