                   RESEARCH NOTE: (From Ancestry World Tree) The family of Peter Heer arrived in South Carolina in 1749 on the Ship Griffin, Captain Arthur. His petition was heard 24 Nov 1749 by Colonial South Carolina Gorvernment (Council Journal17:715) and he was awarded a 200 acre bounty grant on Cannons Creek on 1 Dec 1749 a letter was read before the provincial council from Peter Herr on behalf of himself and his fellow shipmates.The letter stated that they came to America on the encouragement of John Jacob Ramensperger and were... "met with nothing but disappointments, crosses and misfortunes." Furthur, since arrival, Peter Heer's wife had died.Additiional grants to Peter Hare include a 1772 tract of 200 acres on Camping Creek. Peter Heer made will 24 Aug 1772 naming wife, Mary, and children. He left land on Camping Creek to sons, John and Matthias Hair. The 1749 bounty tract was divided between his son Peter Jr. and wife who was given a life estate in the half then to son of her choice. When Matthias Hare sold land in 1798 on Camping Creek the deed indicates that land was inherited on 25 Sep 1774 by Father's LWT (Nby Deeds D-166). This record indicateds that Peter Heer, Sr. had died in 1774; the will was not recorded until 23 Aug 1791, after the death of Peter Heer's second wife.(Information from "The Peter Hair Family, 1726-2000) co-written and published by Eddie Hair and Tony Hair, Jan 2000.

Notes:

                   RESEARCH NOTE: (From Ancestry World Tree) Peter Hair Jr. obtained a 200 acre survey in 1771 on waters of Cannons Creek, In 1790 he divided this tract giving equal parts to sons, Lawrence Heer and Peter Heer, Jr. (Nby Deeds D-424 and 425). By 1790 Peter Heer Jr. had moved to Orangeburgh (later Barnwell) District. He made will 19 Jan 1813, proven 3 May 1813 naming wife Catherine, after whose death her share was to be divided between her own heirs (Barnwell Wills A-163). This record makes it clear that Catherine, wife of Peter Hair Jr. at time of his death, was not his first wife and not the mother of his children, An old family record reveals that the mother of Job Hair was named Angeline. The Bible record of Adam Rikard, born 1776, reveals tha John Eigleberger and Catherine Hairwere his baptismal sponsors. This record has led to speculation that Catherine Hair of this record was the first wife of Peter Hair Jr. and may have been a Rikard (aunt of Adam Rikard).
