Patton/Payton/Peyton in Ohio, ca. 1830
I'm researching Peyton/Paytons of Ohio, ca. 1830, and have noticed that the name seems to be, at times, interchangeable with the name Patton and its variations.One ancestor, Andrew Jackson Peyton, was married in Scioto Co., Ohio, in 1871 under the name Andrew J. Paten.I'm looking for possible information on his family in Ohio.Andrew married Martha Jane Gifford.There are two other Peyton/Payton men from Ohio: William, born between 1829-1833, and James M. (also a middle initial "C.", but don't know the order), born about 1836.These two men could be brothers of Andrew, or perhaps cousins.The three men ended up in Amador County, California, between 1850-1880.I've been looking for this information for a few years now, with absolutely no luck regarding their births/lives in Ohio.I don't know in which counties they were born, just that Andrew married in Scioto.
Can you help me?
