Henry Peyton Descendancy Submitted By: Harold L. Davey

First Generation

1. Henry PEYTON was born in 1656 in WestmorelandCo, VA.

He in 1659 inherited from his father 1900 A..

By reference to Valentine Peyton's patents it will be seen that he assigned his grant of 1000 a. along the land of Richard Codsford, on a branch of the Aquia River, to Henry Peyton, Gent. May 26, 1657, which sale was confirmed to the estate of Henry Peyton June 6, 1664. Valentine Peyton also sold to Henry 500a. on and along Aquia R. Sept . 22, 1657. This, with land Henry bought of Codsford, gave him an estate of 1900 a., of which 1500 lay on Aquia R. in Stafford Co. [NOTE: as StaffordCo was not formed until 1664, this land would have been in WestmorelandCo when Henry bought it--Harold Davey], in the very section where Philip Peyton and John Peyton of Stony Hill subsequently held their estates. [Hayden]

He executed a Deed in Choatank Parish, VA.1

Henry was of age when he gave deed in Choatank Parish in 1680. In 1680 reference was made to the Upper Parish as Stafford Parish and the Lower Parish as Choatank Parish. By 1702, Choatank was renamed St. Paul's Parish and Stafford Parish became Overwharton Parish. The boundary between the two was Passapatanzy Creek (now in King GeorgeCo).

He purchased land on 17 Mar 1683 in Hope Grant, StaffordCo, VA3

In 1654 Robert Hubbert acquired 1,600 acres on Aquia Creek. He conveyed part of this to Valentine Peyton shortly thereafter. Over a period of several years, Hubbert divided his patent and sold portions of it to various individuals. A deed between Alexander Doyle (died c.1794) and William Hewitt (c.1740-1795) details some of the early ownership of the portion of the tract in the vicinity of modern Willow Landing. On May 9, 1780 Alexander Doyle and his wife, Eliza, sold to William Hewitt for 25,000 pounds of tobacco “a certain tract of Land called the Hope, situate on Acquia River supposed to contain 500 acres, and bounded as in said deed being part of a Patent for 600 acres granted to Robert Hubbert the 12th Decr. 1654.” According to the Doyle deed, on Mar. 17, 1683 Hubbert had sold 500 acres of the patent to Henry Peyton (1630-1659) and John Fossaker.

He sold land on 10 Mar 1684 in Hope Grant, StaffordCo, VA4

According to the Doyle deed, on Mar. 17, 1683 Hubbert had sold 500 acres of the patent to Henry Peyton (1630-1659) and John Fossaker. They in turn sold the 500 acres to Solomon Day and Daniel Matheny (died 1685) on March 10, 1684, the deed having been duly recorded in the Stafford Court (but now lost). Solomon was Daniel Matheny's (also spelled Mathena) son-in-law, married to daughter Susanna.
