Peter, who immigrated to the U.S. in 1857, was the son of Claus and Christina Thede. He married Maria Christina Sierks in Rock Island County, Illinois on 16 Sep 1859. The couple departed Hamburg, Germany on the ship "Howard" on March 14, 1857 and were listed separately as Peter Thede and Maria Sierks; the New York arrival ship's listing for April 23, 1857 listed them as Peter Thede and M. Margarethe Thede (an obvious error in the given name for Maria). The arrival listing also showed that a child, a daughter, was born while crossing the Atlantic.
The Davenport Democrat, Davenport, Scott County, Iowa, January 4, 1909, page 6:
Peter Thede one of the old residents of Davenport died this morning at 9:15 o’clock at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Chas. A. Frey, 611 Perry street, after an illness of over a year. During the past several months he has been ailing, his ill health being largely attributable to old age. Mr. Thede was a native of Germany, having been born in that country April 27, 1832. He was aged 76 years, 8 months and 8 days. When a young man, he came to America and at first settled in Milan, Ill., where he remained two years. Later, he moved to Dixon where he lived on a farm for over 20 years. Five years ago he came to Davenport and since then has made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Frey. He leaves to survive him four children, Peter of St. Louis, John and William of Dixon, and Mrs. Frey of Davenport. One brother, John Thede of Denver and three sisters, Mrs. (unreadable) of Germany, Mrs. Henry (unreadable) of New Liberty and Mrs. Mary Thompson of Dixon also survive.
The funeral will take place from the late home, 611 Perry street, Wednesday morning, the funeral cortege leaving the home at 12 o’clock and proceeding to the Dixon church where services will be held at 1 o’clock. The interment will be made in the Dixon cemetery.
