Early Life
Peter Broun was born at Guernsey on 17 August 1797, a member of an ancient French family, and the nephew of the Seventh Baronet Broun of Nova Scotia. Nothing is known of his early life, but Bryan and Bray (1935) report a doubtful claim that he served in the Royal Navy in his youth. In 1825 he married Caroline Simpson, and his first son was born in Scotland in 1827.
