Robert Peyton (ca. 1725 - ), son of Capt.Valentine and Frances (Linton) Peyton married Ann, maiden name unknown. Some Robert Peyton appears to have married an Ann Guffey, but there is insufficient evidence to prove that it is the Robert, son of Captain Valentine. Also, Craven Peyton (ca. 1731-1780), son of Captain Valentine and Frances (Linton) Peyton, married Anne West, not Anne Harrison. This is confirmed through the will of William West, Anne's father.
