Again quoting from J.N. Harman's book --there were 5 Peery emigrants: John, Thomas, James, George and Joseph. The first four were thought to be brothers --Joseph was considered a relative, but exact relationship wasn't known. The Scotch Irish settled Augusta County --most came by way of Philadelphia.
