Hello Peebles Cousins.  My line of Peebles is from

William Peebles born @ 1670 son of David Peebles who lived in the Fife area of

Scotland.

William Peebles was a Quaker b.@ 1670 and died 12 Oct 1727 Prince George Co Va. his daughter Hannah Peebles  married 1st Wm Patison. He died and then Hannah Peebles Patison married John Merrymoon. I have quite a bit of information on the descent of Hannah & John Merrymoon. Mostly Quakers ,many records are in the Hinshaw Quaker Meeting books . Henrico

Monthly meeting. Henrico County  Va.    I have  a small account of the Peebles in Scotland dating back to the year 1291 written by

Anne Bradbury Peebles in Sept 1962.  Title-- A collection of the descendants of David Peebles, Royalist Officer who escaped to Virginia in 1649/1650..

Parish records and various notes on the family. Let me know if I can help in any way ,by sharing these papers.  Gladys
