Peter Romine |
- There are many men named Peter in the various records concerning the Romine family, which has contributed to a great deal of uncertainty about which records pertain to which Peter. Therefore, it is possible that not all of the information on this page actually refers to the same person. However, there definitely was a Peter Romine in the Muskingum County, Ohio, 1820 census, and he is most likely the same Peter who was put into the care of Samuel Baldwin in late 1821. The ages of the people in the households of the Peter Romine in the 1810 Loudoun County, Virginia, census and the Peter Romine in the 1820 Muskingum County, Ohio, census provide strong evidence that the two records refer to the same Peter Romine, but this is still not proof. If they are the same person, then most of the information on this page does interconnect, but the only children that could definitely be his are Jonathan, mentioned in a Loudoun County, Virginia, court case, and Jesse, mentioned in Peter's Muskingum County, Ohio, probate record. This document and this document detail the circumstantial evidence that the two Peter Romines were the same person and the father of Hannah Baldwin, wife of Samuel Baldwin.

25 Dec 1787 |
Loudoun County, Virginia, USA  [1] |
| Recorded in Deed Book R, page 012: Peter and Abigail Romine conveyed 150 acres of land to their son, Peter, through a "lease/release" agreement. Lease and release was a mode of conveyance of freehold estates for tax avoidance and speed. Between its parties it achieves the same outcome as a deed of grant/transfer/conveyance. |
| Relationship not proven |
There is indirect evidence only that Peter Romine and Ruth Burson are the parents of the listed children. |
| Death |
cir 1824 |
Muskingum County, Ohio, USA Muskingum County, founded on 1 March 1804, is located in the east-central portion of the U.S. state of Ohio. Its county seat is Zanesville. Nearly bisected by the Muskingum River, the county name is based on a Native American word meaning "swampy ground". |
- There is indirect evidence only that links this death date and the estate record below to the Peter Romine who married Ruth Burson. It is difficult to tell from the estate record when he died. The record contains an undated receipt from Samuel Baldwin stating that he received payment for boarding Peter Romine for 2 years and 4 months. Since he began caring for Peter in December 1821, then Peter's death probably occurred in March or April 1824. Another document in the estate record states that Samuel Baldwin was to be paid $1.50 per day for boarding Peter "continued til April the 18th 1824", so Peter may have died on that day. Another receipt in the estate record is from James Taylor for "burying clothes", and that receipt is dated March 1824. However, there is another receipt in the estate record from Benjamin Williams for "six dollars for a coffin". The date of that receipt seems to read "November the 13th 1822".

| Notes |
- Peter Romine was involved in a lawsuit in Loudoun County, Virgina, USA (see https://bryan-martin.net/genealogy/showmedia.php?mediaID=4496&medialinkID=4303) which mentions that as executor of his father's estate he had Elias Kent, husband of Abigail Romine and possibly Peter's son-in-law, and Christopher Snyder inhabit the plantation of his father, Peter Romine.
- Peter Romine appears on Loudoun County, Virginia, USA, tax lists for 1804, 1805, 1806, 1807, 1809, 1810, 1811, and 1812, but not thereafter, so he may have moved away from Loudoun County around 1812. There is a Peter Romine on the 1835 tax list, but this is probably a different Peter Romine. [2]
