Charlie,
There’s a likely looking James Layton b. 1756 associated with Shenandoah Co.,
Rockingham Co., and Augusta Co., VA (maybe buried as New Market, Shenandoah
Co. VA).He’s the son of Obadiah Layton (b. 1734 Monmouth Co. NJ and m. Grace Maria
Huntsbury) who’s the son of Samuel Layton (b. about 1696 to 1705) who’s the son of
Samuel Layton (who m. Janet Oliphant), who’s the son of William Layton who came to
Middletown NJ in 1667.
The LDS Ancestral File lists the same James as both the brother and the son of Obadiah, but son
seems more likely.
For children of James they list 3 Joe or Joseph Laytons, 3 Obadiahs, a John, and a
Susannah.Can’t tell if these are all different individuals, some of whom died young, or
people with 3 different birthdates attributed to them.
Lots of luck!
