Elizabeth Mary "Betsy" Woodson (Payne) - She has been conflated

From the About:
The following is written by and has been researched personally by Carrie Bias Hoffert; The Elizabeth Pain that married on 2 Jan 1783 in AMHERST County, VA is NOT the daughter of George Payne and Judith (Burton) Payne! Following is just some of the supporting Documentation of Elizabewth Payne (daug of George and Judith (Burton) Payne) was the WIFE of Samuel Woodson and was NEVER married to Henry Peyton of Amherst Co VA to Cabell Co, WV!

ELIZABETH PAYNE married to SAMUEL WOODSON Samuel Woodson and Elizabeth Payne, grew up in the SAME COMMUNITY. Her brother, Joseph Payne served with Samuel Woodson in the REV WAR and the men remained close after the war. They attested to the Rev War service of one another on each of their PENSION RECORDS. Next I found the following records; Elizabeth (Payne) Woodson & Samuel Woodson Proof of their marriage; 1. THIS Elizabeth married CAPT. Samuel Woodson on 19 Jun 1777 • St James Northam Parish, GOOCHLAND County, Virginia.

2. ALSO Supported by the WILL of HER FATHER, GEORGE PAYNE Transcript of portion of will of George PAYNE, (His will, dated 23 Feb 1781, was probated 15 mar 1784 in Goochland Co, VA. )
Her father's will gives “to daughter Elizabeth Woodson, six slaves; and confirms a deed of gift to ten head of cattle and other property.” '

3. DAR RECORDS also confirm this union of Elizabeth Payne to Capt Samuel Woodson. This Elizabeth Payne Woodson was born on 19 Sep 1760 died UNKNOWN at this time, but most likely in Goochland Co, VA. She did NOT die in Cabell Co, VA (WV) in 1854! Thus the birthdate of 19 Sep 1760 belonges to Elizabeth (Payne) Woodson NOT to Elizabeth (Pain) Peyton.

The Payne Genealogy and the FAMILY SEARCH records that were previously listed here have all been deleted and so I have removed those references. Also below I am updating the Henry Peyton Lineage and documentation information.

First there is NO RECORD anywhere of his name being Henry Lindsey Peyton only records show Henry Peyton.

Updated "The Peytons of Virginia II", Vol II, page 198, Henry Peyton Jr. (C Line #37) Paraphased info....He served in Revolutionary War and has been documented. (CBH: Pay records for Private Henry Payton of Amherst Co, VA for service in VA State Line) also (Eckenrodem H. J. Lists of the Revolutionary War Soldiers, State Library of Virginia, 1913)" Born 19 Jan 1730 Culpeper Co, VA (CBH; as per his own statement in NAtional Archives testimony Pension File) He married Elizabeth Pain 2 Jan 1783 Amherst Co, VA. He died after date on headstone (1836) as record of his personal filing for appeal of pension in 1842. Died & Buried in Barboursville, Cabell Co, VA (now WV.) Elizabeth Pain was born c.a. 1760/1765 most likely in VA and died 6 Apr 1864 in Cabell Co, VA (now WV.

Henry & Elizabeth (Pain) Peyton had a daughter C Line #97 (page 199) Mary "Polly' Peyton; born 3 Sep 1797 ROckbridgge Co, VA, she married her first cousin; Henry Peyton C Line # 103 (page 199) son of William Peyton C Line # 38 (page 199) was born c.a. 1762 He married Nave/Nancy (Howard) Peyton on 20 Aug 1782 Amherst Co, VA. Henry Peyton (#103) and Mary 'Polly' (Peyton) Peyton (#97) married about 1812/1814. The informatin that has been corrected in Book II VOl II printed in 2004, the earlier book was printed in 1970s and more info was obtained for the second book. Information corrected; Cabell Co, was never a part of KY...it was part of VA and then became WV; Henry Born 19 Jan 1760 was not born in Amherst Co, VA...by his own admission he was born in Culpeper Co, VA.
C-Lineage direct for Henry Peyton born 1760 Culpeper; Henry Peyton #37; Henry Peyton #23; Valentine Peyton #15; Philip Peyton #10; Philip Peyton #5; Thomas Peyton Sr of Bisley Progenitor of Stafford Co, VIrginia Line. Henry Peyton (#23) born 1727 in Stafford (not Culpeper County, VA) and he was Killed abt 1781 and could not have fought in the Revolutionary War. His son Henry Peyton (#37) was the Henry Peyton of Amherst Co, VA that fought in the Rev War. I have a copy of his actual Pay Record, He was the ONLY Henry Peyton residing in AMherst Co, VA at the beginning and during the Rev War as per tax records. His DAR # is A089985. I have just completed my membership into the Peytons of VIrginia Society and had to have documentation at every stage of my lineage to Henry & Elizabeth (Pain) Peyton. I am just in process of completion of my DAR membership application and expect that to be accepted with the same documents that I used for my Peyton Society membership.
