  Biography	Family Generalization
  Peter Peschong son of Reinhard Peschong and Jeanette Heusen Peter Peschong, native of Germany, in 1833. Peter came to the United States July 3, 1845 on ship named Silvanus Jenkins from Antwerp, Belgium with his brothers: Bernard, Mathias ( wife Margaritha) and Michel. For a number of years he worked on a farm in Michigan but later took up a homestead in Wisconsin. In Wisconsin he was united in marriage to Katherine Pierron, a daughter of Peter Pierron, who settled on a farm in Wisconsin about 1848. To this union seven children were born, five of whom survive: Bernard; Louis, who is a priest and is the head of St. Francis Seminary at Milwaukee; Kate, who is with her brother Rev Louis; Elizabeth, who is a sister in Notre Dame Convent in Michigan City, Indiana; and John, who is a priest and stationed near Milwaukee. They lived in a log house, he cut down trees, sold wood and did a lot of hunting, trapping and fishing. There resided upon his farm until the death of his wife in 1866. When Catherine died (milk fever, 4 days after the birth of John) he put all of his children on the orphanage (Catherine's sister was a nun there) until they were 15. He then sold one hundred acres of land and returned to Michigan, where he remained for a number of years. He passed away in 1910. He was a member of the Roman Catholic church and gave his political allegiance to the democratic party. He was successful in business and all who knew him held him in high respect. Peter is buried with his 3 sons in Saint Francis Seminary: John, Louis, and Peter
