One of my G Grandfather's was Lacey Lamkin Peyton. He was born on 5 MAY 1816, "near the Shanendoah River, in Frederick Co. Virginia." On 30 MAR 1837, he married Eliza Jones, daughter of Thomas Jones. She was born on 29 OCT 1816. The marriage is recorded in Loudoun Co. VA. records. They were both of minority age, under 21, and Lacey's age was attested to by his mother Elizabeth Peyton, his father being deceased. In 1838 the newly weds emigrated to Ohio. Eliza died in Ohio on 6 Nov 1847 having had 4 children. William T. Peyton b: 13 JAN 1838 d: 13 JULY 1892 Townsen Peyton b: 31 JAN 1840 d: 28 JAN 1872 Charles L.
