| Peter Lemay was a Huguenot Protestant refugee who immigrated from France to Virginia in the early 1700s on the Nassau, an English ship. Peter began his life in America in King William Co. VA as an indentured servant to Daniel Brabant. By 1705 he was a free but poor man and probably spent the next few years starting a new life in the new world. Such a need would make it understandable why he did not marry for ten or 15 years. He was married by 1720 when Charles Lemay Sr. is estimated to have been born. His first wifes name is unknown, and she died in the 1730s or earlier. Peters second wife, Sarah, was a young teenager when he married her in about 1734, and together they had 3 children:John, Samuel, and Sarah. Peter died prior to March 1742 at about the age of 60. The children were still very young at the time, and Sarah married Gilbert Gibson who raised Sarahs children along with his own. Sarah died sometime after 1792.
