I found the following in a book titled History of KY by William Elsey Connelley and E. M. Coulter, Vol 5, published 1922 I am not related and have no additional info. "Warren Peyton, superintendent of schools at Beaver Dam, taught his first country school twenty-five years ago, and except for the intervals while he was acquiring and finishing his own education has had an almost continuous association with educational work and is consequently well known over the state and has filled some very responsible positions in the schools of different towns and communities. Mr. Peyton was born on a farm near Leitchfield in Grayson County November 28, 1877, and is a descendant of Daniel Peyton, a Virginian who fought as an American soldier in the Revolutionary war and for his services received a grant of land from Virginia in Kentucky, which was then part of the Old Dominion. He came West to take advantage of this land grant, and thus became one of the pioneer farmers of Grayson County. His son, Elijah Peyton, grandfather of Warren Peyton, was born in Grayson County in 1832, and spent nearly all his life there as a farmer. Late in life he moved to the vicinity of Rockport in Ohio County, where he died in 1917. He married Mary Jane Pierce, who was born in Ohio County in February, 1833, and is still living, at the age of eighty-seven, near Rockport. Allen Peyton, father of Professor Peyton, is still living on his farm in the western part of Grayson County, and was born on a farm adjoining his present homestead in 1854. His well directed energies over a period of more than forty years brought him substantial success in his home community. He is a republican and a member of the Baptist Church. Allen Peyton married Nancy Heady, who was born near Owensboro in Daviess County in 1854. Warren is the older of their two children. Their daughter Mary is the wife of James F. Cooksey, a farmer on a place adjoining her father's farm. Warren Peyton during his youth lived on his father's farm, attended the rural school of Grayson County, and after he began his career as a teacher he graduated in 1900 from Hartford College in Hartford, Kentucky, and in 1904 received his A. B. degree from National Normal University at Lebanon, Ohio. In 1915 for further work he was granted the degree Bachelor of Science by Peabody College at Nashville. His first school was in a country district of Grayson County, where he taught in 1896. He continued country school work six years, and in 1902 became assistant principal of the grade and high schools at Leitchfield. From 1906 to 1910 Mr. Peyton was county superintendent of schools of Grayson County. From 1911 to 1918 he was principal of the high school at Utica in Daviess County, and then for two years was principal of the high school at Fordsville in Ohio County. He took up his studies as superintendent of schools at Beaver Dam in September, 1920. The schools of Beaver Dam have a scholarship enrollment of 250, and he has a staff of eight teachers under him. In January, 1920, Mr. Peyton began a term of four years as a member of the State Board of Teachers Examiners. For ten years he has been active in the meetings and committee work of the Kentucky Education Association. He was a leader in Ohio County during the World war, assisting in the sale of Government securities and the raising of funds for various auxiliary purposes through the schools and among all classes of citizens. Mr. Peyton was made a Mason at Leitchfield in 1906, and is now affiliated with Beaver Dam Lodge No. 420, F. and A. M., and is a member of J. O. Davis Chapter No. 32, R. A. M. at Owensboro. January 1, 1907, at Louisville, he married Miss Beatrice McCabe, daughter of Barney and Margaret (Ryan) McCabe. Her mother lives at Leitchfield, where her father, a retired farmer, died. Mrs. Peyton is a graduate of the Bowling Green Business University. They have one child, Tennyson, born January 4, 1908.
