According to one account, "Peter and his uncle were sailors on a privateer. As a result of carelessness in choice of ships they preyed on (i.e. ships on the British trade), the English Crown put a price on their head and they were forced to leave England and the sea. They entered the U.S. either at the port of Mobile, Alabama, or of Gulfport, Mississippi." In about 1860, after the death of Susan Turner Christian, Peter married Mary "Polly" Waldon, a widow with 2 boys, 2 girls, and they had another 2 boys, 2 girls, for a total of 14 children. Peter was believed to have married in England before his marriage to Susan, and married a fourth wife, Elizabeth Long, a year about a year before his death.
