Chesmore/Peyton or Payton
Does anyone have the name Peyton or Payton in their line? Today I went to the LDS Family Center to do genealogy work, and found two of my Peytons/Paytons, one with the middle name Chestmor, the other with Chesmore.
I don't know if this data is new for Ancestry.com, but I found this information in the WWI Draft Registration Cards. These had great information! I didn't have the full middle name, only a 'C', for one person, and the for the other, I had the name, Chester. It gives such information as: Place and date of birth, home address, occupation, employer's name and place, nearest relative (with address), height, build, color of eyes, color of hair, and asks if the person has lost any hands, legs, eyes, etc.
Anyway, the Peyton parents were born in Ohio, and their parents were from Virginia. I haven't yet seen these Chesmore names associated with either state. I'm hoping there is a clue in these names that will help me to find the parents' parents.
By the way, I have 3 Peyton men who came from Ohio to California and settled in Amador County. I have not yet found proof that they are related, but one of the Chesmore kids was from one man, the other kid from another.
