"Early Life and Letters of Luther Burbank" by Emma Burbank Beeson (Page 29 & 31):
Peter Ross, blue-eyed and slight build, was of Scotch blood. Peter Ross, although a cabinet maker by trade, was by nature a horticulturist, and was the originator of several new grapes. He was best known at the time by the superior fruits and vegetables produced on his place. He was a rather frail man, suffering all his life from attacks of heart disease, yet he lived to the advanced age of 87 years, retaining his ambition and enthusiasm to the last. He was clearing the brush from a very steep rocky hillside in order to set it with grapevines when he was called by death. He was found one bright summer day sitting on a big rock, apparently resting, as so often he had done, but life had quietly gone out.

Peter heiratete Burpee, Polly Kendall in 1811. Polly (Tochter von Burpee, Jeremiah Jr. und Kendall, Molly) wurde geboren am 18 Mrz 1791 in Sterling, Worcester County, Massachusetts, USA; gestorben am 10 Dez 1865 in Sterling, Worcester County, Massachusetts, USA; wurde beigesetzt in Oak Hill Cemetery, Sterling, Worcester County, Massachusetts, USA.
