    On the emigration roll only five of Peter Reid's six children were listed, which caused a problem when he reached Canada where supplies were given out according to the number in the family. He therfore had to obtain three depositions to prove the existence of his sixth child. Two of these read as follows:
    "That Peter Reid of the Bridgeton Canadian Society had when he left this country for the Lanark Settlement in the province of Upper Canada, six children viz two boys and four girls. Certified by Will McCartney, minister and M. Shirra, Elder, Old Kilpatrick, 17 Mar 1823."

    Bonnie Guthrie Kuehl, in her story of the James Guthrie family, says that Peter Reid was born at Kirtown, Scotland, a son of Peter Reid and Margaret McKinlay. In 1805 he married Jean Harvie in Old Kilpatrick, Dumbartonshire.
    Margaret Reid married James Guthrie; Helen m. Archibald Young and went to Lambton County; Jean married James Dougal Young. Peter Jr. Married Marion Somerville and after her death, Mary Taylor.
