Listed on 1850 Census in Indiana, Carroll County, District No. 9; handwritten page number 557; stamped page number 279; line 3. Date of census: August 22, 1850. Peter is listed as head of household; occupation was "farmer." He is reported as 45 years old, born Pennsylvania, with real estate valued at $500.

Living with him in 1850 are his wife, Frances A., 47, b. Pennsylvania; his mother-in-law, Rebecca McCouch, 72, b. Ireland; and Catharine HAHN, 13, b. Ohio. (In 1855, Catharine Hahn married John More, son of Samuel More, and Elizabeth Mooney.)

There are claims in unsourced family trees that Peter was the son of Peter MENTZER (1770–1834) and Susanna HOWERTER (born 1785).

NOTE: Buried near each other, 1, 2, 3, in a row side by side are these three:
Peter Mentzer (1805-1853)
Frances A., wife of Alexander Morrow (1803-1875)
John McCouch (1806-1874)
Family relationships have been concluded from the burial order, from census records, and from other family connections. Frances was Peter's wife, with the surname from her second marriage. John McCouch was Frances' brother -- Peter's brother-in-law.
