Peter Kinder was an early settler at the mouth of Peter's Creek, one of the few Germans that came in the first migration. The creek still bears his name. On 30 Nov. 1749, children of Peter Kinder, orphans: Christian, Sarah, Peter and Catherine, to be bound by Church wardens, (Orders of the Court, Chalkley I, page 39). Apparently Peter, the orphan, returned to Pennsylvania to live with relatives until he was older, returning to Botetourt County, May 8, 1766. Peter Creider (Kinder) of Northampton County, Pennsylvania, filed suit against James Neely to make deed on Peter's Creek. (Kreider vs. Neely, Chalkley Vol. I, page 353).
Peter Creider apparently won his suit and took possession of the land his father had settled, which had in the meantime been incorporated into John Neely's large grant. His father's estate was made up of 10 horses, 10 cows, sundry tools, and a beaver hat valued at 100 pounds! Peter Creider for whom the creek was named, married Mary ____ [Sattler]. In 1744 they were present at Daniel Holeman's sale and bought many household items and livestock for their farm. Peter [Sr.] died between 1744 and 1749, as apparently did his wife, Mary.

1. Peter Creider married on 9 Jan. 1798 to Catherine Crush, the daughter of Peter Crush.
