Peter and a group of friends sailed to Amherst Island which was a short distance from his home in Bath. On their return the ballast shifted and the boat capsized., drowning all. Your great- great grandfather John McKay Laird and a brother Peter Davey Laird were born almost 4 months after he died.

He was a member of the Masonic Order. Through his wife, Eve Davy, all descendants are able to claim being United Empire Loyalists.
