The first of three Peter Burrells, this wealthy gentleman moved to "Kelseys" in 1688, having married the previous year.  Considerable research has ben carried out by Linda based on what was effectively a diary he maintained from the time of his marriage to 1701. In it is some of his life and the birth and death of family members and makes for fascinating reading.
