PAYTON/PEYTON Descendants from Northeast Georgia IV book fourth edition with its genealogical charts and source information in chronological order has been updated and revised as of 6 March 2019. This book is a documentation of William Payton, Junior and his sons, Cornelius, Leroy, William III, Gabriel, Moses and George and their descendants that left Amherst County, Virginia for northeast Georgia after the Revolutionary War in 1784 where land was free. The Revolutionary War left the people in Virginia penniless and restless in spirit. The Virginians had made great sacrifices to secure their country's independence. The Payton's started out poor, like so many of their fellow constituents at that time. William Payton, Jr. and family were first in Washington & Wilkes Counties before they settled on 300 acres of third quality land in Madison County before moving on. The Payton's hunted and fished for a living, while two sons of Cornelius; Richard & Isaac Newton were carpenters that probably built houses or made furniture. The Payton's had no slaves, very few farm animals, probably a one room log cabin, no schools so they couldn't read or write. They also had to contend with the Cherokee Indians and put up with other hardships as pioneers.In this edition, you will find a total of 4,415 Payton/Peyton descendants, 11 generations, 1,500 marriages, 976 different surnames, 254 obituaries, 96 photos/images, numerous short stories and transcribed newspaper articles throughout the book. This updated edition provides the most current known information with 108 type pages from an update file, 615 additional family members, 187 additional families and twice as many obituaries and photos since the second edition was printed. Also new in this edition is the William Payton, Sr. pedigree chart, a hand drawn land plat showing where the William Payton, Jr. cemetery is located. This book is privatized and contains no personal information about living persons ********************************************************************************************REVIEWS of the PAYTONs/PEYTONs of Northeast Georgia book: Joan Allen, Peyton Society of Virginia (PSV) Genealogist wrote: Congratulations and thank you for letting me know that your book is available.

Grace believed she went from losing it all to having it all. In a desperate attempt to put her life back together, Grace, divorced and jobless, leaves Tucson to return to Chicago-a place she never planned to call home again. She also never planned to fall for Benjamin Hayward. Drawn into the fairytale existence of his power and wealth, Grace is unable to see what her family and friends see, and ignores the warning signs of Dr. Benjamin Hayward's dark side. Benjamin's secrets-the death of his mentally ill wife and the disappearance of his daughter-push Grace into an abyss deeper than the one that brought her home in the first place, and she risks losing even more. Pieces of Grace is a complicated story of relationships confused by undercurrents of mental illness. Readers find themselves hoping family and friends can carry Grace through her most difficult moments.
