Hi...I am researching Peterkin in Canada. My earliest Peterkin is William who, I believe, was born in Scotland late 18th century. I have been told that he was pressed into the Navy and when released emigrated to Canada with his wife and daughter. The family settled in Peterborough, Ontario around 1850. From the about 1850 on I have been able to trace the family in Canada but before that date I have had very little success. I wonder if your Peterkins are connected to mine?
