Dear Ray,
I think I have the information re: Peter you are searching for. Peter was born in Belleville, Ontario in 1841, He married Emily (Young) born in 1851. Peter died in 1902 and Emily in 1895. They are both buried in Greenwood cemetary, Longview, Texas.
Peter's parents were Elias Hug V. born April 13, 1817, died Sept. 16, 1989and Amanda (Yates) born Jan 24, 1820, died Jan 22, 1898. They settled in Sidney Township in the 1850's, left and settled in Kankakee, Ill. Elias and Amanda had 11 children: Theresa, Peter, Albert, Mary, Issac, Walter, Frederick, William, Frances, Ida and Lillian.
Elias had a sister Mary and a brother Daniel. Daniel is my great-great grandfather.
I am able to provide information on this
branch of the family, who are descendants of Jacobus (James) V. and Rachel Van Kleek who settled in Hay Bay, Ontario about 1795.
