Notes for Peter J. Quesenberry
Birth and death dates for Peter, names of his wives, and birth and death dates for Ida Bell and Lillian, from query by Janet Payne Randall of 847 West Gate Drive, Eureka, CA 95501, published in Cox-Phillips Newsletter, Vol. 5, No. 2, p. 50. She also has the note "Possibly a son also from this marriage." According to her, Peter moved to Morehead in 1904 and died there.
Census
1870 census of Carroll Co., Virginia, Pine Creek district, Hillsville P.O., p. 96, lists as family #14/15:
Quesenbery, Peter, 25, farmer; Mary J., 25; Perry Johston, 3; Viney M., 1. All born in Va.

1880 census of Carroll Co., Virginia, Pine Creek district, p. 113, lists as family #28/29:

1910 census of Rowan Co., Ky, Morehead precinct, p. 186B-187A, enumerated 4 May, lists as family #222/224:
Quesinberry, Peter, 65, 2nd marriage, married 5 years, Va Va Va; Charlotte, wife, 1st marriage, mother of 4 children, all living, Ky Ky Ky; Lillie, dau, 13, Va Va Va; Dickeson, Julia D., dau, 12, Ky Ky Ky; Dickeson, Minnie, dau, 7, Ky Ky Ky; Quesinberry, Walter, son, 3, Va Va Va; George W., son, 2/12, Ky Va Ky.
Notes for Charlotte Stamper (?)
Charlotte's son Walter's death certificate lists his mother's maiden name as "Charlotte Stamp." Since the name "Stamp" does not occur in this part of Kentucky, but Stamper is common, I have assumed this is a misentry of Stamper. On the 1910 census, though, where Charlotte is listed as the wife of Peter Quesinberry, it is indicated as her first marriage, and she has two daughters with the surname Dicke(r)son. So it is unclear whether her maiden name is Dicke(r)son, Stamp, or Stamper.

The Kentucky death index lists Charolette Mabry, age 64, died 31 Dec 1942 in Rowan Co., residence same, certificate Vol. 56, #27971.

She is buried as Charlotte Quesinberry, 1876-1942, under a joint stone with Peter.
Census
1920 census of Rowan Co., Ky, Brushy Fork precinct, p. 167A, lists as family #96 (next door to Lawson Quesinberry):
Quesinbury, Charlotte, head, widowed, 42, Ky Ky Ky; Dickerson, Julia, 23, dau, widowed, Ky Ky Ky; Quesinbury, Walter, 14, son, Ky Ky Ky; Allen, 10, son, Ky Ky Ky. (The father's place of birth for Walter and Allen is incorrect. Although Julia is listed as widowed, her surname was Dickerson in 1910 when she was listed as 12 and single as well.)
