When Peter moved to New Philadelphia, Ohio, in 1807, he carried on his pottery trade where he built a small cabin on the east side of Broadway in the village. With him had come others from Westmoreland Co., including Henry Lauffer, Christian Stout, and George Leininger. In May 1808, Daniel and Peter Williams came on foot from Greensburg.
