About Frances Peyton
Frances Linton
- Birth: Abt 1698 Stafford County, Virginia
- Death: Bef 1755 Prince William County, Virginia
- Father: Moses Linton (1675-1729)
- Mother: Margaret Barton (1680-1734)
- Spouse: Valentine Peyton (1686 - 1751) - married abt 1718. He was the son of Henry Peyton and Anne.
THE PEYTONS OF VIRGINIA, published by the Peyton Society of Virginia in 1976, show children as:
- (1) Eleanor (married William Powell);
- (2) Henry (m. Ann Thornton and Margaret Gallaher) and stayed in Virginia
- (3) Robert (THE PEYTONS OF VIRGINIA says ". . .This may have been the Robert Peyton who m. by 1765 in Prince William Co., Va., Anne Guffey. .." but that is wrong. Capt. Valentine Peyton's son, Robert, was still a minor in the early 1760s and had a guardian, first John Peyton (his brother?) and then Benjamin Rush, so he could not have been the father of children born in 1755.) Robert died in Franklin Co., N. C.;
- (4) John (m. Seth Harrison, and stayed in Virginia, dying testate in Prince Wm. Co. in 1774 - Will in PW Will Book H:289);
- (5) Craven (m. Ann West, and lived and died in Loudoun Co., Va. Will proved there in 1781.);
- (6) Valentine (The Peyton book seems to be silent about this son, and I know nothing about him.); and
- (7) Francis (m. Frances Dade) In 1976, when the Peyton book was published, there was conflicting information about where this Francis Peyton died. He might have stayed in Loudoun County, Va., and died there, or he might have died in Montgomery Co., Ky.
Identification
That Capt. Valentine Peyton's wife, Frances, (1) survived him; (2) was the mother of Henry; and (3) was the devisee of Moses Linton, is proved by the following deed: PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, VIRGINIA, DEED ABSTRACTS, 1749-1752; 1761-1764. Ruth and Sam Sparacio
(Prince William Co., Va., DB P:299-309) On margin: "dd. Mr. Lawson 24. Sep. 1765" January 21, 1763. Indenture between John Ballendine of Prince William County, gent. and Mary his Wife of one part and John Tayloe of Richmond County, Esquire, and Presly Thornton of Northumberland County, Esqr., of the other part. Whereas Henry Peyton of Dettingen Parish in the County of Prince William Gent by Deeds of Lease & Release beating date respectively the 24th and 25th of March, 1755, for the sum of £150 Current money of Virginia did sell unto the said John Tayloe. Presly Thornton & John Ballendine and to their heirs and assigns all that parcel of land in the County of Prince William on the South side of Occuquan River near the Falls thereof being the land and plantation whereon Valentine Peyton late of the said County gent deced and Frances his Wife lived & died including Occuquan Warehouse on the Southside of the said River and the Forge Landing House the same being granted to George Mason gent deced by Patent from the Proprietors Office dated March 3, 1704, and by the said George Mason sold to one Moses Linton by an Assignment Endorsed on the said deed dated May 9, 1707, and by the said Moses Linton by his Last Will & Testament given and devised unto Frances Peyton Mother of the said Henry Peyton to whom the same descended after her death; the said land being granted by the said Original Deed as for Seventy nine acres and being sold by Henry Peyton for the same Quantity; Together with all Houses profits rights whatsoever belonging as by Deeds duly recorded relation being had and Whereas Richard Blackburn of the said County of Prince William Gent. and Mary his Wife by Deeds of Lease and Release dated May 23 and 24, 1755,
While this doesn't prove that Frances, the mother of Henry Peyton, was Moses Linton's daughter, it is surely grounds for that assumption.
Notes

VALENTINE PEYTON Gent acknowledged this Lease/Release to be his act and deed and it was thereupon admitted to Record, Then FRANCES his Wife (she being first privately Examined) relinquished her right of Dower in the land by this Deed conveyed which was also admitted to Record
Note: 7 Nov 1774 - - Estate of John Peyton dec'd
Executors: wife, Sitha Peyton, Valentine Peyton, & John Peyton
Securities: John Linton, John Brett, and Timothy Peyton

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.
