Black Pete Kerr described as a "chief man."
Connecticut Courant, "FANATICISM. The Golden Bible or The Book of Mormon", July 12, 1831
Among them is a man of color, a chief man, who is sometimes seized with strong vagaries and odd conceits. The other day he is said to have jumped twenty-five feet down a wash bank into a tree top without injury. He sometimes fancies he can fly.
Pete Kerr is not identified by name, but it is likely who is referred to as "a man of color" in the article.
