Reverend Horace Edwin HAYDEN, continues to be the leading genealogist of the PEYTON family of Virginia. His celebrated book, "Virginia Genealogies," published in 1891, included a chapter on the PEYTON family: "PEYTON, 'of Iselham,' Cambridgeshire, England, Gloucester, and Westmoreland Counties, Virginia." The author closely followed the English PEYTON lines in the 1878 book "Genealogical Memoirs of the Extinct Family of Chester of Chicheley," by Robert E. Chester WATERS. One hundred seventeen years ago, when Reverend HAYDEN published the lineage and history of the PEYTON family of Virginia, his work was the most comprehensive and accurate in data, scope and material ever received. Since then, his extensive "Peyton" chapter in "Virginia Genealogies" has formed the basis of all succeeding published genealogies of the Peyton family.This scanned reprint will be a welcome and necessary resource for those studying the PEYTON family of Virginia. His acclaimed essay "Descent" is included.
SECOND EDITION - Updated & Revised The PEYTON Book is a well documented genealogy that covers the history and heritage of the PEYTON/PAYTON family of Virginia's Northern Neck. It spans three generations of the English forebears and eight generations of the descendants of Henry PEYTON of Aquia, Virginia. Henry and his brothers were English Cavaliers of the Virginia Colony. After the Restoration of King Charles II, some of the brothers returned to England. Gentleman Henry PEYTON stayed and settled along Aquia Creek, in what is now Stafford County. He became the progenitor of today's Virginia PEYTON family. This book includes an ancient PEYTON pedigree that traces the PEYTONs of Aquia Creek, Virginia back twenty-nine generations to the Normans who went to England with William the Conqueror. No living people are included. It is indexed.
 In 1763, King George III's government adopted a secret policy to reduce the American colonies to "due subordinance" and exploit them. This brought on the American Revolution. In Virginia, there was virtually unanimous agreement that Britain's actions violated Virginia's constitutional rights. Yet Virginians were deeply divided as to a remedy. Peyton Randolph, Speaker of the House of Burgesses 1766-1775 (and chairman of the First and Second Continental Congresses), worked to unify the colony, keeping the conservatives from moving too slowly and the radicals from moving too swiftly. Virginia was thus the only major colony to enter the Revolution united. Randolph was a masterful politician who produced majorities for critical votes leading to revolution.
