Peter, surname - Peterhead
I am looking for Peter family. My oldest information is that George built the new school in Aberdeenshire, his wife was a roving singer before marriage and midwife after. Oldest confirmed documentation is the marriage of George (Andrew) Peter to Margaret Center, Montquhitter 1842-6. they had 12-14 children and sailed to the USA(1870) with 5-7 of the children and settled in San Fransisco with Margaret's brother John Center. George's father may have been named Alexander or Andrew. Letters indicate he came from Peterhead. A note in a book (1858) says "McNabb??" and " we are kin to Rob Roy Macgrigor" don't know who wrote them or the truth of it.
