Disputed Parentage

The parentage of Yelverton Peyton appears to be disputed by many researchers. Draper, in "Draper Notes", Vol. 18, page 238, has the following:
From Guffey Peyton, son of Yelverton Peyton, residing in Madison County, Kentucky, born August 29, 1796. "Yelverton Peyton, son of Henry Peyton, was a native of Albemarle County, Virginia, on James River--the father was killed by Indians in going from his house to his barn--on Virginia frontiers--and Yelverton, John, Ephraim, and Thomas Peyton, brothers--all grown--and a stranger named Bonham, followed the Indians........."
Other researchers claim that the father of John, Ephraim and Thomas Peyton was a Robert Peyton or a Velverton, Sr. [Ancestry Member Trees].
Additional research/sources are necessary to prove his correct parentage.
