Biographical history
A native of Ross-shire, Scotland, Peter MacCallum emigrated to Nova Scotia in 1815, residing there until 1828 when he and his wife, Susanna Ford Cutler, and family moved to Prince Edward Island. They settled at St. Peters Bay where MacCallum operated a general store located on the north side of the bay and engaged in shipping. MacCallum had a long and varied political career, which began in the 1830's and lasted until his death in 1868 at the age of 68. Included among the many public offices he held: High Sheriff of Kings County, Commissioner of Small Debts (appointed 1833), Commissioner of Highways, Justice of the Peace (appointed 1838), Lieutenant Colonel of the Militia and Member of the Legislative Assembly. While a member of the Legislative Assembly he was associated with William Cooper's land reform movement - the "escheat party".
