Married Elizabeth Heise on 20 Nov 1841. Son of John Doner Jr. & Rachel Cober.
We know that Peter, as eldest son, received The Homestead from his father, John Jr. on December 10, 1867. He was the third Doner to own the property of which 100 acres, or about half the farm, were sold the previous year by his father. He is listed as a farmer and cooper, but just ten years later, in early 1878, entered into a lease with Henry Brown (copy of lease in Peter`s photo section) for Mr. Brown to farm the land for four years in exchange for $400 per year. On April 11th, 1894, only two days before his death, Peter sold The Homestead to his son, Daniel H. Doner.
`John Kendrick drew the lot, but sold it to Jacob Mueller, who received the patent as Jacob Miller. Miller sold all 200 acres to John Doner in 1807. In 1867 John Doner, Jr., sold 90 acres of the west half to Peter Doner, who eventually sold smaller lots along the sideroad (Stouffville Road) as the hamlet of New Gormley developed, following the opening of the railway.`
