| Notes |
- Peter moved to Texas in about 1830. He served as Attorney General of Texas.
Family tradition says that he died while on his way to Washington D.C. as Commissioner of Texas. At the time, he was the candidate of the Sam Houston Party for the Presidency of Texas.
There are rumors that he committed suicide because he lost the election. His opponents in the party power struggle were M. B. Lamar and Chief Justice James Collingsworth. Collingsworth is also said to have committed suicide at about the same time.
