Slave Return, Robert Peebles, 1780

It is rare that these returns clearly identify family relationships. However, there are often clues. On 27 October 1780, Robert Peebles registered a twenty-three-year-old woman named Peg. It is likely that Peg was the mother of the five children that Peebles registered in 1788, including two-year-old Pegg.
