On February 23, 1744, Peter bought 400 acres in Northhampton County, North Carolina for 100 pounds in Virginia money. In his will dated, March 1, 1756, he gave his children, William, Henry, Jane, Sarah, and Amy 10 shillings current money of Virginia each. To his son, George, he gave his plantation on the Black Swamp containing 250 acres. There was mention of additional land on the Roanoke River which George was to get if William refused "to make over the land," and after George paid Wiliam 40 pounds. George paid William the 40 pounds. Peter also gave George four cattle, a feather bed, other furniture, a chest, a gun, a sword, an iron pot, and a crosscut saw. Peter gave his son James the plantation of 355 acres which he was living on. James also received a feather bed, furniture, a gun, a sword, a chest, 6 cattle, a brass kettle, an iron pot, a spit, bottles, and his cider mill. The rest of the estate was to be owned by his daughter, Mary, during her lifetime and then go to his sons George and James. The will was presented to the court on October 20, 1758. The inventory was made on December 15, 1758.
