He was born in Jenner township, Somerset County, Pennsylvania, where he received his education, and in youth and early manhood worked on the farm. Subsequently he moved to what is now Boswell, Somerset County, but was then known as the Pine Woods. After spending some time in operating a saw mill, Mr. Peterson purchased about twenty acres of land and there, as long as he lived, made his permanent home. He was first a Whig and later a Republican. His religious membership was in St. James' Lutheran Church, Jenner township.
