Ms. Barney,
I am a direct descendant of John French of Westmoreland County. He was married to Martha Upshur who married Capt. Michael Cresap after John’s death. Do you have any information on this line?
If you do, I would be interested in purchasing your book.
Thank you,
Ann Woodall Sutherland
Dearing, GA 30808
P.S. I am an avid genealogist.
I do not know anything of John FRENCH of Westmoreland. Daniel FRENCH and his family and their connections with the PEYTON family are in my book.
Does your John FRENCH connect to the PEYTON family?
I believe I am a descendant of William Peyton through his daughter, Celia Peyton, who married Henry Lockey abt. 1760 in Beaufort Co., N.C.. Both Henry and Celia died in 1774 in Beaufort Co., She asked in her will that her father, “William Peyton and Funnyfold Green, shuld have the raising my children.” She names her youngest daughter, Celia Peyton Lockey in the will, but her statement indicates she had other daughters, one of which I believe is Selina Peyton Lockey, my ancestor. Can you give me any help with this? Thanks, Barry Speth
I do not have anything on the marriage or descendants of Celia PEYTON. I do know that Celia PEYTON was born before 1739, probably at Beaufort County, and that comes from the documentation of her lineage which appears on pages 470, 471 of “PEYTONs, of England and Virginia.”
I trying to find out more about Charles Peyton my records said that he was born in 1702. Your page is the frist that I have find on him. Im not sure that he is the same one I have some papers that he got 100 achres for his time in the revolution war and Im just trying to find out more about him or my family. Do you think that this could be the same person I show that Charles Peyton was born in 1702 and James Peyton die in nelson kentucky and was born in 1730 Daniel Peyton was born on 1768 and I think that it was Charles peyton that change the spelling of his last name to payton. Is this the same Peyton that is in your book
Doris – I did not find anything on Charles PEYTON born 1702, in my book. A man born at that date would be too old to have been a soldier in the Revolution, so that must be another Charles who got the 100 acres bounty land. James PEYTON who died in Nelson County, Kentucky along with his son Daniel PEYTON are in my book.
Hello, I am wondering if there is a connection between the Peytons of Stafford Co. VA and my Herod line. My Rev soldier William Herod was son of John and Mary Herod of Stafford Co. – he supposedly married a Valentine but I can find no Valentines in Stafford Co. William Herod moved to Spotsylvania Co. VA in 1792 and then to Smith Co. TN in 1808 where he settled along Peyton’s Creek. I have found a reference to Herod’s Ordinary in the Virginia Gazette dated 18 Jan 1770. It was six miles north of Falmouth. The book They Called Stafford Home states Peyton’s Ordinary in 1769 was one of two licensed in the county – could Herod’s be the other one or were they one and the same?
Is there any way Valentine Peyton was related or descended from someone with maiden name Valentine?
I found a reference in the book They Called Stafford Home to a Valentine tract purchased by William Robertson in the Aquia Creek area. Was this the Valentine Peyton tract or an actual tract of someone named Valentine???
I’m full of questions.
I cannot help you with the Herod family nor the Valentine family as I have not found any connection of those surnames to the Peyton family. I do not know the name of the other Ordinary in Stafford County. Yelverton Peyton ran his tavern until early 1780s, and his wife kept it going after his death. I don’t know about a Valentine tract, but Aquia Creek is where the Peytons owned land.
Was the Yelverton Peyton who ran an ordinary near Aquia the same Yelverton Peyton who came to Kentucky in 1779-1780 and settled in Boonesboro? Also, William Wells (c. 1770-1812) who died at the Fort Dearborn Massacre, and whose family lived (c. 1700-1767) near Dumfries, named one of his son Yelverton Peyton Wells. Does anyone know why? Thank you for any information.
Sincerely, William Heah
Was the Yelverton Peyton who ran an ordinary near Aquia in the 1760s the same man who came to Kentucky in 1779 and settled at Boonesboro? If not, who was this Yelverton Peyton?
The two Yelverton Peytons you mentioned were not the same person. There were a number of that name in the Peyton family all the way back to England. I don’t recognize William Wells of Dumfries, but assume that he named his son for one of the Virginia Yelverton Peytons, probably the one who lived at Aquia which is near to Dumfries. The Yelverton Peyton connected to the Ordinary is on pages 79-81 and the Yelverton who went to Kentucky is on pages 137-139 of Peytons Along the Aquia.
