Our Peer family was always stated as being PA Dutch by my grandfather Samuel Edward Peer and his father Samuel Isaac Peer. Origin before that time period is not known or is not passed down, but it is rumored that the Peer name started in Bavaria.
My great-great-grandmother spelled it Pier, Benjamin Peer was listed as Pier in NY, and there was a Jacob Piere in NJ in the early 1700's. Other spellings are Pear, Pears, Peers, Pier, Piers, Peir, Peirs, Peire, Peery, Pierre, Pere and many more!
Our Peer family was in Ontario/Upper Canada before 1800 but they went back & forth between Canada & the US.
Here is our Family History!

PEER: The regular vernacular form of "PETER", a common name meaning rock or stone. The name was extremely popular throughout Christian Europe in the Middle Ages, as it had been bestowed by Christ as a byname on the apostle Simon bar Jonah, the brother of Andrew. This name was chosen by Christ for its symbolic significance, is a translation of Aramaic kefa rock (John 1:42, Matt. 16:18); Peter was regarded as the founding father of the Christian Church in view of Christ's comment, "Thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build my Church'. In Christian Germany in the early Middle Ages this was the most frequent given name of non-Gmc origin, being over-taken in the 14th century by John and Nicholas. In England the vernacular form PIERS was usual at the time when surnames were being assumed.
PEER: a person belonging to one of the five degrees of nobility in England. (Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, Baron)
PEER(PEAR):in Dutch(Belgium)means Bulb
PIER: in Dutch(Belgium)means earthworm

NIAGARA FALLS TIGHT ROPE WALKER The Hamilton Daily Spectator, Hamilton Wed. June, 1887, pg. 1 Col 7
Niagara Falls Ont. June 22 Steve Peer, a local tight rope walker, crossed the Niagara River on a 5/8 inch cable stretched from the Canadian to the American side between the Cantilever and Suspension bridges at 4 o’clock this afternoon successfully. A stiff breeze was blowing during the time, and the cable was not properly guyed and he says that several times he very nearly lost his balance from its vibrations. Several thousand people witnessed the daring performance. Peer will repeat his performance several times during the season.
Peer the Rope-Walker Suicide The Hamilton Daily Spectator Hamilton, Canada, Monday June 27, 1887
Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls, June 25 Steve Peer, the local celebrity who outdid Blondin in daring feats around Niagara and recently crossed the rapids on a 5/8 inch cable is dead. Ever since he did the daring act he has been drinking very heavily, and Wm. Leary proprietor of the Elgin House where Peer has been stopping, has been watching him closely. This evening about 7:30 pm Peer went out unobserved with John Gillespie and a stranger, and later was seen with 2 men near his rope. As he did not show up by 8:30 and no trace of him could be found elsewhere, it was suposed that he had attempted to walk his rope and had fallen from it or stumbled over the bank, and ropes and lanterns were procured and Peer’s brother, with John Connolly was lowered down. Near the bottom of the incline they found his lifeless body, badly cut around the head. There was a large gash leading from his nose over the top of his head so that his brains protruded, and death must have been instantaneous. His body was raised to the top of the precipice by means of ropes, and taken to the Elgin House, where it now lies awaiting the coroner. A good many rumors are afloat regarding how he met his death, amongst them one that he suicided, there being, it is said some trouble between himself and his wife. The general belief is that he attempted to walk out on the cable when recovering from his drunk and lost his footing and fell into the abyse below.

To sit and chat
With a dear old friend
Over a cup of tea,
We talked of this and that,
Remembering you and me.
To sit and chat,
On a winter's day,
Over a cup of tea,
All the things we used to do,
And things we used to see.
To sit and chat,
On a summer's day,
Under a shady tree,
Of walks we took along the way,
Remembering you and me.
To sit and chat,
In Autumn's glory,
Over a cup a tea,
Of dreams we shared and promises made,
Remembering you and me.
To sit and chat,
When spring arrives,
The memories we shared,
Over a cup a tea,
Can never be compared.
To sit and chat,
With a dear old friend,
Over a cup a tea,
Our memories will never end
Remembering you and me.
