After coming to the Virginia Colony, Peter, his wife and family were soon adjusting to the difficulties of colonial life. During this time period, Chesapeake families were relatively few, small, and short-lived. Many came to America as individuals free of paternal control, and tended to die while their own children were young. Due to the lack of available wives and the hardships women had to face alone, widows often remarried within a few months. In one Virginia County, more than three-quarters of the children had lost at least one parent by the time they married or reached twenty-one. For parents to live long enough to know their grandchildren was a rarity, even in England.
