Samuel Andrew Peters (December 1, 1735 – April 19, 1826) was a Connecticut Anglican clergyman and historian.

Born in 1735 in Hebron, Connecticut, he graduated from Yale College and became the local minister at St. Peter's Church in the town.

In 1805, he moved to New York City to pursue a property claim in the area that later became Minneapolis, but that venture failed.

In the following year he returned to America and took charge of St. Peter's Church parish at Hebron, Connecticut.

[3] In August 1774, Peters fled to England after several visits from the "Sons of Liberty" because of his Loyalist sympathies.

[4] In 1781, he published, under a pseudonym, "General History of Connecticut, from its first settlement under George Fenwick, to its latest period of amity with Great Britain prior to the Revolution; including a description of the country, and many curious and interesting anecdotes.

A local tailor and friend of theirs, Elijah Graves, falsely accused Cesar and Lowis of theft so they would be able to remain in Hebron.

The previous candidate, Edward Bass, refused and Peters was suggested by a friend of his, John Graham.
