A Tree for the Peebles family starts with Daniel Peebles
The early Peebles are most common in Perth and Linlithgow Mid Lothian , they very rapidly are recorded from Lanark to Orkney, main Centers are Linlithgow and Perth. The first records are in Perth from 1564 with Linlithgow later, this probably is a reflection of the accuracy of the records.
Errol in the Carse of Gowrie has a good record from 1574. After this they seem to have spread out a bit with the main lines in Inchture early record 1650, Kinnaird, first birth 1662 and in Kilspindie first birth in 1675. A branch was in Aylth in 1620 to 1658 and in Scone a birth in 1637. The Inchture Peebles seem to be a well established strain with several families.
Note that the dates given are those recorded, the people would have been there for a long time before, these dates are early for the official records.
Several early Errol names have Continental looking forename, Piter, Jhon, Johnne, Mariorie for example, perhaps local Errol spelling or maybe a forebears influence.
The name changes from Peblis or Pebles or Peibles to Peebles after 1720 when the Old spelling disappears. The early Christian names persist, for males John for Jhon or Johne are common, Peter for Piter. For females more variety with Elizabeth Janet Isobel Rachel Helen Katherine and Cirstane, in fact almost all are different.
To save you looking up the Atlas Kilspindie and Kinnaird are small villages in the hills above the Carse of Gowrie. Kinfauns is the Estate at the Perth end of the Carse. Together with Kinnoul this seems to be where our Peebles lived.
The Perth Peebles seem to have been in Perth City, Kinfauns and Kinnoul, one was born in Earlsdyke, that is near Perth, others are recorded as Perth but the actual record is often Kinfauns/Kinnoul. Kinnoul seems to cover all Kinnoul Hill and down to the River Tay from the end of the Old Bridge nearly to Scone. Daniel Peebles could possibly be traced further back as there are several lines, however there is insufficient information to prove the line.
Occupations recorded are as a Tailor and a Coal Merchant.
