2.  Census Index:  U.S. Selected Counties, 1810 (Broderbund CD-313):  the 1810 Ohio census was lost (except for Washington Co.); tax lists for some Ohio counties are substituted on the CD.  There are no records on the CD for Pickaway Co., which was formed from parts of Ross, Franklin, Fairfield, and Hocking Cos. in 1810, after the 1810 census.  The LDS Library Catalog has film of the tax rolls of Pickaway Co. only back as far as 1816, which suggests the earlier lists have been lost, although sometimes taxes are paid to an adjacent, established county until the new county can get it's civil government functioning.  If so, then out subject probably is not one of the two John PETERS in Ross Co. in 1810, but which would then mean we have three John PETERS to account for.

According to the 1810 Census, "John PETERS" was in Ross Co., which means he was not in Walnut because Walnut was in Franklin Co. before becoming part of Pickaway Co. — unless, of course, our subject was not one of the John PETERS in Ross Co.
