Peter Dallas of Muscatine, IA
My great-great grandfather Peter Dallas, according to family stories came to America from Scotland.I have been looking for his arrival in the US in every source I can think of, and so far have been unsuccessful in finding him.I found him on the 1850 census in Allegheny City, Allegheny, PA with his wife Margaret, who was born in Scotland, a Mary,age 7 who was born in PA, and my g-grandfather, Alexander,age 5, born in PA. and two more children born in PA.There is also a Mary Andrews, age 15 who was born in Scotland.I have found him on later census lists in Iowa...My question, is anyone related to this man who might have some idea of when and where he landed?Could Peter have been a middle name?The family finally settled in Muscatine Co., IA and was still there in 1900.
