Angelina Eberly was Angelina Belle Peyton

She became the heroine of Austin, Texas for preserving the city as the permanent Capitol of Texas.

Angelina Belle PEYTON (1798-1860) married her first cousin, Jonathan PEYTON. Their fathers were twin brothers. After Jonathan’s death, and the burning of San Felipe during the Texas Revolution, she moved to Columbia. There, in 1836, she married Colonel Jacob EBERLY, a widower.

I came upon this interesting article featuring Angelina Eberly and her historical connections to Texas while reading the October 2018 Smithsonian Magazine. 

You may catch up on Angelina's connections to the Peytons of Virginia in my genealogy book PEYTONs Along the Aquia. On pages 136, 262 and 163 you will find Angelina Belle PEYTON along with her parents, her first husband Jonathan PEYTON and their documented descent from the original Peytons of Aquia Creek, Virginia back to England.

Updates to Major Daniel PEYTON

On page 94, of my genealogy book, PEYTONs Along the Aquia, Major Daniel PEYTON died "5-5-1826 JACKSON CO ALABAMA" according to updated DAR records.

Anne McGUFFEY / Ann GUFFEY (c1723 - 1785)

On page 97, of my genealogy book, PEYTONs Along the Aquia, I have updated the vital statistics of ANNE MCGUFFEY. Latest research reveals that she was born about 1723, and died about 1785, in Amherst County, Virginia. She married ROBERT PEYTON in 1754.

She also appears on page 498, of Reverend Hayden's "PEYTON, of England and Virginia" where she is named as ANN GUFFEY.

Valentine Harrison Peyton

VALENTINE HARRISON PEYTON (a1740 - 1796) appears on page 40 of PEYTONs Along the Aquia Genealogy, along with his two daughters, Anna Maria PEYTON and Susannah PEYTON, and their "negro slave, Jenny." The lineage of these PEYTONs is documented back to the original immigrant to Virginia and his English ancestors. He is the same "VALENTINE PEYTON" documented in Reverend Horace Edwin Hayden's 1891 genealogy, "PEYTON, of England and Virginia", on page 563, where his will is included. He was named "HARRISON" to honor his grandmother who appears on page 38. The William PEYTON who was a witness to his will, seems to be his nephew, who relocated to Jefferson County, Kentucky. See page 71 for William's lineage. The wife of Valentine Harrison PEYTON is unknown; she was not mentioned in his will. She was not the Sarah HALE, suggested as a possibility by Reverend Hayden. That "Sally" HALE appears on page 71, married to another nephew, namesake Valentine PEYTON.

In the Index to Prince William County, Virginia Wills there is "1801 Peyton, Valentine dec'd, Book H, page 429, Sales" which probably refers to this Valentine Peyton who died in 1796, leaving orphans in Virginia.

Thomas Green Peyton 1833-1900

"THOMAS GREEN PEYTON 1833-1900 - LT. COL. C.S.A. 15TH VIRGINIA INFANTRY - SON OF GENERAL BERNARD PEYTON - AND JULIA AMANDA GREEN PEYTON - OF FARMINGTON, ALBEMARLE COUNTY"

Thomas Green Peyton is buried at Hollywood Cemetery, Richmond City, Virginia (Find A Grave Memorial# 8623978).

Thomas Green PEYTON appears on page 124 of the genealogy book, PEYTONs Along the Aquia along with his parents and his documented descent from the original Peytons of Aquia Creek.

Editor's Note: The above was originally published on the Internet about 1999, at RootsWeb as Silver Creek Cemetery website. The page seems to have disappeared about 2008.

I judge this John PEYTON of Silver Creek, Clarke County, Indiana to be a presumptive son of Philip and Winifred PEYTON who appear on pages 92, 93 of the genealogy book, PEYTONs Along the Aquia. See post at this blog for more explanation: PEYTONs of Indiana

Lewis & Winnefred PEYTON of Indiana

VIRGINIA MARRIAGE BOND -- Lewis PEYTON and Charles ANDERSON were bound unto the Governor of Virginia, 8 November 1786: "whereas there is a Marriage shortly intended to be Solemized between the above bound Lewis PEYTON & Winnefred FOLWELL - for which a license has been issued." The above image is from Ancestry.com, submitted by PAllen7783, believed to have come from Lincoln County, Kentucky (Virginia District).

Lewis PEYTON and his wife Winnefred are on pages 132, 133 of the genealogy book, PEYTONs Along the Aquia, with two of their children. NSDAR documents her name as "Winifred FOLWELL" and verifies two additional children: Nelson PEYTON who married Mary JOHNSON and Frances PEYTON who married John TUELL. Revolutionary War Pension Records of Lewis PAYTON, (S. 17003) contain a letter written in 1929 which states that Elizabeth FOLWELL was the mother of Winfred FOLWELL.
