The second record below is almost certainly based on a report entitled "State of Highgate July 1738," and incorrectly assumes the embarkation and arrival dates for Peter's family. However, the second record below provides important information about Peter in 1738 including his residence, that he has remarried after the death of his first wife, that he has four living children, and that he has a fifth child born before 1743.

"The critical situation to which the British colonies in America are likely to be reduced from the alarming and arbitrary imposition of the late acts of the British parliament respecting the town of Boston, as well as the acts that at present extend to the raising of a perpetual revenue without the consent of the people or their representatives, is considered as an object extremely important at this critical juncture, and particularly calculated to deprive the American subjects of their constitutional rights and liberties, as a part of the British Empire. It is therefore requested that all persons within this province do attend at the liberty-pole at Tondee's Tavern, in Savannah, on Wednesday the 27th instant, in order that the said matters may be taken under consideration, and such other constitutional measures be framed as may then appear to be most eligible."
Noble W. Jones,
Archibald Bulloch,
John Houstoun,
George Walton

1774 Jul 27 - In response to the call of 14 July 1774, a considerable number of the leading men of Savannah and the surrounding country met at the time and place indicated. A committee was appointed to draw up and submit resolutions defining the position of the people of the province on the questions then engaging the earnest attention of the provinces further north. John Morel (Morell) was appointed a member. As the inhabitants of the out parishes might not have had a sufficient notification of the meeting, all further business was postponed until 10 August 1774. [93][94]

1774 Dec - There is a highway marker located on Shipyard Road, east of Ferguson Road in Savannah near the site of the shipyard on John Morel’s plantation, owned until 1795. The text on the marker is “Approximately 300 yards northeast of this marker there was located in colonial days a shipyard where at least one vessel capable of engaging in overseas trade was built. The creek on which it stood is known as Shipyard Creek. The site of the shipyard was on the Beaulieu [96][97][98] (or Bewlie) [99] plantation of John Morel and was favorable for shipbuilding activities because of its accessibility to the Vernon River and the plentiful supply of live oak in the vicinity. Here, in December, 1774, Daniel Giroud, shipbuilder, constructed the brig “Bewlie,” a vessel of 200 tons burden. In reporting the launching of the ship the “Georgia Gazette” stated that “those who are judges say she is well built and of the best materials, particularly her frame.” During the American Revolution Giroud assisted in the construction of several Continental row galleys which saw service in Georgia waters.” [100][101][102] “Beaulieu, on the Vernon River near Montgomery…, was in colonial times the plantation of William Stephens, president of Georgia. In Robert Mackay's day, it was owned by the Morels.” [103][104]
