{The family story goes that Grandpa Peter ran away from home at 16 years of age, because he was not fond of his step mother(s). His father had three different wives} {I have not confirmed it, but apparently in the 1900 census, he is listed as living with his maternal uncle, Frank Burbey. He would have been 12 or 13 at that time.}
