Life Story of Captain David Peebles Captain David Peebles' plantation named Bon Accord later became known as Aberdeen. It is on the Bent of the James River, and may still exist in some form today.

David Peebles' plantation in Virginia was named Bon Accord. Lou Poole, in his article "Peebles Family", includes a passage that asks and answers "why?"[2] "Why was Capt. David Peebles’ plantation named Bon Accord? The Peebles name was in northeast Scotland well before 1660, so he may have been from Aberdeen, the ‘City of Bon Accord,’ famed in Britain and the Continent for culture and learning. Or his first wife may have been — Mackie is a Highland name. He seems to have been in commerce and moved from place to place — note that his children were baptized in several places in Fife." Son, William Peebles inherited Bon Accord. David Peebles came to Virginia probably late 1649. The first record of him is on August 5, 1650, for a grant of 833 acres in the present Prince George County. As it took about six months to obtain a grant, or patent, this places his arrival late in 1649, when over 300 adherents of Charles I, condemned to the block by Cromwell, escaped to Virginia.

In a Court Order Book of Charles City County for the years 1655-1665 David Peebles appears as a Justice of the County Court, a vestryman of Westover Parish, the area in his charge lying between Powells and Wards Creeks, on the south side of James River. David Peebles was aCaptain in the militia,Search of Parish records in Scotland locates him in Fife, and gives names of wife Elspet Mackie, daughters Criston, Alison, Margret, sons William and John.[3]

Birth record of David and Elspet Mackie Peebles' daughter Margaret:

Name: Margret Peiblis Gender: Female Christening Date: 09 Oct 1642 Christening Place: SAINT MONANCE, FIFE, SCOTLAND Father's Name: David Peiblis[4] It would make sense for his children's being baptisms to occur in several places since he was an officer in the military.
