"RG #1D2B2  Peter Ringo was the second son of Henry Ringo and Margaret Major.
          ;            He was born December 15, 1751 in Hopewell Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey.  His father, in recording his birth in the Family Bible, wrote that 'it was the first day of the week.'

"In 1762 Henry Ringo moved his family to a 20 acre (s/b 220 acres) farm on the Trenton Road in Amwell Township, and they lived there until about 1768, when the parents decided to move again.  This time it was to one of the so-called Northern Neck counties of Virginia.  By this time, Peter Ringo was already 16 and able to do a man's work, both on the farm and during their trip south to the Piney Creek Branch of Bull Run in Cameron Parish of Loudoun County, Virginia.

"Peter Ringo continued to live with his parents and on November 19, 1771 witnessed the 'three lives' lease his father made there with John Ralls for 175 acres of land upon which a dwelling was to be built.  The document, the principals of which were Henry Ringo and his two sons, Philip and Samuel, was to continue through their lives to whichever 'was the longest liver.'

"On May 5, 1772 Henry Ringo bought a 130 acre farm in Prince William County and apparently turned his Loudoun lease over to his oldest son, Philip.  Peter Ringo moved with his father to Prince William and continued as a single man, to make their home his base, while pursuing the wanderlust which carried him away frequently

Page 229, it continues:
".....The deed also provided for the freedom of the remainder of the slaves, which included some 14 children under 16 and three young men and women, upon his death.  He further provided that in the event of the death of the grown-ups after his own decease, three of his friends (one a minister) were to serve as guardians of any of the children until they were 18 years of age.

"It was not until the July Term of the Montgomery Court that Peter Ringo's will was proved and estate settlement started.  He had obviously passed away a few weeks earlier at the age of 78.  Outside of notes owed to him by various persons in the amount of about $600, the sale of his meager personal effects, largely to relatives and his minister, only brought in $21.50, of which $11.00 came from one of his ex-slaves, Sanford, for an old black mare.  As seems to befit an old bachelor of his age, his only furnishings consisted of 'one bed and stead, one old blanket and coverlet, one square table, one Chest, and a pair of fire irons.

"The estate was administered by his friend and minister, John Ray, and it is not known whether or not Peter's brother, John, then probably living in Alabama, received his share.  The other brothers still in Kentucky did, but Major and Joseph, who came into his 'plantation,' only did so after a suit of ejectment, which had to be carried all the way to the Kentucky Court of Appeals, in order to dispose of a tenant who claimed the old man had given him a deed during the final years of Peter's life."

Peter did not marry.
