Hello all - not sure if you'd be interested in this or not, but I just learned of my family's indirect connection to the Peers. My direct ancestor, Sarah Ann Anderson was married to a fellow stonehooker, Charles Hare, in Port Credit, ON. Sarah's younger sister was Emma Anderson, who married James Peer. Emma was from Owston Ferry, Lincolnshire, England and was the daughter of William Anderson and Isabella Laister.
Just in case it helps with any family tree searching (and also might explain Stephen Lester Peer's middle name :)
