Notes:

Scottish naming protocols (details here: http://david.mclaren.name/naming_protocols.htm) produced lots of McLarens with the same given name and no middle names. Any possible confusion was countered with "bynames." They might reflect occupation (e.g. Blacksmith Peter), or location (Lanark Peter), or physical character (Big and Little Peter). In this case we have ?i?Little Peter (born 1818)?/i?, the son of John (born 1776), distinguished from his first cousin Big Peter (born 1813), the son of his father's brother Peter (born 1779).

McLaren Peter 1818 grave script
Inscription at base of headstone: A loving friend a husband dear. A tender parent lieth here. Great is the loss we here sustain. But hope in heaven to meet again.

From Findagrave
Peter McLaren, son of John McLaren and Margaret Stirling, was born in 1818 in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland. In 1821 he emigrated with his parents to Lanark, Ontario, Canada. He was known as "Little Peter," to distinguish him from his first cousin "Big Peter" McLaren, who was born in 1813, lived on the farm next door, and is also buried in Lanark Village Cemetery. On March 24, 1842 he married Mary MacDonald and they started their family while living and working on his parents' farm. Mary MacDonald died in 1856, shortly after the birth of their fifth child, and Little Peter raised his children with the help of his parents until they both died in 1859. With the help of his children, Peter maintained the family farm until his death in 1898.

?i?Tweedsmuir Histories of McLaren Farms?/i?

Women's Institutes across the provinces, encouraged by Lord and Lady Tweedsmuir (Governor-General of Canada), collect historical information about the area and communities in their district. The Women's Institute of Ontario created a Tweedsmuir Village History for Lanark which includes farm histories.
The following farm history is from a Tweedsmure book in the museum at Middleville, Lanark, Ontario. Transcribed by John Roberts, copied by Barbara I. Purdy, it is re-re-transcribed here with McLaren given names highlighted and my comments in brackets.

W ? of Lot 1, Concession 4
Township of Lanark
West half of Lot 1 in 4th Concession '96 100 acres
East part of Lot 1 in 3rd Concession '96 50 acres
Sometime during the year 1820 [my records indicate July of 1821] there arrived among a group of pioneers from Scotland, John McLaren, who with his family had come to Canada to find a home in the New land. After arriving in Perth he pushed onward to Lanark Village, then only a cluster of huts on the banks of the Clyde. John McLaren took up location about one mile east of Lanark Village and built himself a log shanty where the present barn now stands. Later as he carved out his farm from the forest and grew more prosperous, he built a more substantial log house which still withstands wind and weather one hundred and twenty years later.
Upon the death of John McLaren the farm passed to his son, known as "Little" Peter, who married Mary McDonald from a neighboring township bringing her to her new home on horseback. The farm now consisted of 100 acres in Lot one '96 Concession four '96 and "Little" Peter later acquired fifty acres adjoining in Concession three from one Doctor Wilson who was married to his sister.
Peter McLaren had two sons and two daughters [There was a fifth child, daughter Mary, who died in 1871 at age 17.] and upon his death the farm passed to his son Duncan who married Margaret Bowes. [This is not possible, as both Duncan and his wife Margaret predeceased "Little" Peter '96 though Duncan lived and farmed this land with his widowed father for more than three decades prior to Duncan's death.] Their children were Mary, John Peter and Mervin. Of these Mervin and John Peter are now living '96 Mervin in Ottawa, John Peter in British Columbia.
In 1903 the farm was purchased by John Roberts. Four years later he erected a new barn to replace the old cluster of log barns and in 1926 built the present home where the family now reside. He married Jenny Dunlop and to them were born eight children, Wm, Elsie, Isobel, Boyd, Mervin, Jennie,
Agnes and George now deceased. Mervin now resides at home with his wife and two children, Douglas and Barbara.

[Added note, hand written on side of page: Douglas Roberts and his wife Ruby McOwatt and ten children now reside here. In 1991 Douglas and Ruby own the house and Robert Graham part of the farm.]

Margaret McLaren, daughter of "Little" Peter McLaren and Mary MacDonald, was born April 15, 1848 in Lanark Township, Ontario, Canada. On June 16, 1868 she married her second cousin David McLaren. David was a lumber man, working for his cousin Senator Peter McLaren. When the timber industry began to slow he became a farmer and they moved to Drummond Township where they raised four boys and five girls. Margaret's death at age 50 was due to "consumption," now known as tuberculosis. The disease was highly infectious and, in the age before antibiotics, greatly feared. The family tore town and then re-built their home to avoid contamination.

Margaret married David McLaren on 16 Jun 1868. David (son of Big Peter McLaren and Jannet Stewart) was born on 10 Apr 1844 in Perth, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; died on 18 Apr 1926 in Perth, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Lanark Village Cemetery, Lanark, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.
