      Peter LeGrand was a Justice of the Court of Prince Edward County, and represented his County in the House of Burgesses 1758-1776. At the November Court, 1762 Peter LeGrand, Esq., produced a comission appointing him Quarter Master General and took the oath. On 12 May 1765, he received a grant of 804 acres of land formerly granted to Alexander Stevenson, in (then Lunenburg) now Halifax on the branches of Bannister River. John Nash, in 1773 of Prince Edward County, "made humble suit" for this land, but LeGrand entered a caveat, and it was adjudged to the latter. They were at this time, brothers-in-law.
