    • A tragic time in the life of Peter's family came when Nancy died in about 1819. Peter was alone with at least six children. Peter married his second wife, Catherine Hulvey, on 3 Dec 1921. In a few years, Peter Sprinkle migrated from Rockingham County down river to Shenandoah County, leaving his children in Rockingham. Peter's son, Samuel R., likely cared for his brothers and sisters. The 1830 census places most of the family near each other and Samuel apparently has his youngest brother and sister living with him. Peter remained in Shenandoah County with his second wife and three unmarried daughters. This was his final home. As reported to the census taker, Peter Sprinkel's age and birthplace match the birth records of York County, providing a vital link of evidence in a complicated migration chain. Peter had very few land dealings in Rockingham County and none in Shenandoah despite his 35 years there. Peter may have been estranged from his older children by circumstances surrounding his second marriage. They had little to do with him after he married Catherine. In 1835, Peter had sold his parcel of land in Harrisonburg to his brother William shortly before William's death, despite the fact that three sons were married and raising families in Rockingham County. When Peter died, his will was proven in Shenandoah County in September 1849. He mentions his second wife and their three daughters, but none of the children of his first marriage.
