Peter, the only surviving son of Capt. Anthony Collamor, was a yeoman and cordwainer. He was an active man in the South Parish and Scituate town affairs, where his name was one of ten recorded in the Record. He pastured his horses and cattle with those of his neighbors on the “Common Lands” of the town. The Town Clerks books describe the brands and earmarks of each man's property. He also owned land at Little Compton, Rhode Island, but none of the Collamor family ever settled in that locality; and he disposed of his interests there by several deeds recorded soon after the year 1700. The homestead of 53 acres at Belle House Neck, which had come to him through his father and great-uncle Peter Collamore, “ by way of Intailment”, he deede to his eldest son, Anthony, reserving to himself “ the Easterly end of the Dwelling house where I now live”. His son Anthony dying in 1746, the second son (John) became the responsible lead of the family. To his son he sold the land on Wilson's Hill adjoining the former site of the Second Parish Meeting-House, which had previous to that time been used by some families in the neighborhood as a burial pasture.
