I am contacting you about this profile: Elizabeth Peyton
Her parents were not George Payne and Judith Burton Payne as you have on your profile;
It has become VERY apparent during my research that SHE was NOT the daughter of George Payne and Judith (Burton) Payne, as has been listed by many of her descendnts.
I base this on the following;
This same Elizabeth Payne is attributed to have married Samuel Woodson, with a confirmed marriage record as well. I have found in my personal research the following information regarding this Samuel Woodson;
1. The family of Samuel Woodson lived in Close proximnity in Pittsylvannia Co, VA to the Geroge Payne family of Elizabeth
2. The 2 families were well aquainted and had many dealings of record.
3. Samuel Woodson and the Brother of this specific Elizabeth Payne served in the Rev War TOGETHER, they additionally vouched for one another's pension & Bounty land records.
4. The 2 men continued throughout their lives to have many dealings with one another.
5. So all of this generally supports the conclusion that the Elizabeth Payne (daughter of George and Judith (Burton) Payne was married to Samuel Woodson was indeed the sister of his best friend, thus the daughter of George Payne and Judith (Burton) Payne.
FURTHER:
THERE is NO record of ANY connection of the The Peyton Family (of OUR Henry) and this Payne Family. There is no evidence to support the fact that OUR Henry Peyton knew any of the members of the family either.
There is no evidnce to support the claim that the Elizabeth Pain married to OUR Henry Peyton was the daughter of George and Judith (Burton) Payne.
I have gone thorugh EVERY online record of any kind I could find to see if I could find any link to our Henry Peyton. None have been found as yet.
So, my conclusion at this time is that OUR ELizabeth PAIN is a TOTALLY DIFFERENT ELIZABETH PAIN.
That Elizabeth, daughter of George Payne and Judith (Burton) Payne was very PROBABLY married to Samuel Woodson.
As Samuel and his wife were married and living in the EXACT same time period as our Henry and Elizabeth, there is no likelihood of any 2nd marriage of this Elizabeth (Payne) Woodson to OUR Henry Peyton. Further, Both Elizabeth (Payne) Woodson and Elizabeth (PAIN) Peyton were having children at the same time and so this is EVEN more definitive that no 2nd marriage occurred.
I have a copy of the ACTUAL marriage record of our Elizabeth PAIN to Henry Payton on 2 Jan 1783 in AMHERST Co, VA. No parents or other family connections are listed for Elizabeth on that record. Further on the DEATH record of Our Elizabeth (Pain) Peyton it states that her parents were A & L Burden of Amherst Co, VA. Her marriage record states she was single, so not married before. THe only thing possible was the the name PAIN was symbolic of BURDEN or that her mother had remarried to a man named Burden. There was an Archelus Burden living in Amherst county during the correct period to have been the father or step-father of Our Elizabeth Pain.
Also all of the siblings you have listed are NOT her siblings either.
Sincerely,
Carrie Bias Hoffert
