No, the Prophet Jonah lived in the 8th century BC and Peter and family in the 1st Century AD:

John 1:42New King James Version (NKJV)

42 And he brought him to Jesus.

Now when Jesus looked at him, He said, "You are Simon the son of Jonah.[a] You shall be called Cephas" (which is translated, A Stone).
