"So Obscure A Person" is "A Genealogy and History of Alexander STINSON and His Virginia Descendants." My hope is that this book will give to the STINSON family that originated in Buckingham County, Virginia a greater appreciation of its forebears. It is the true story of their lives and is fully documented. There is an excursus on the HOOPER family of Alexander STINSON's wife and her MAYO and CABELL cousins. STINSON and HOOPER descendants will find it will enrich their understanding of their families. It is entered into the Library of Congress Catalog Record as a genealogy and family history of Alexander STINSON of Buckingham County, Virginia and his descendants.
The PEYTON Book is still available right here at Lulu ( Printed Version). This family history book makes a splendid gift for any descendant of the PEYTONS of Northern Virginia. Although it covers no living people, there are two blank pedigree charts and note pages where one may enter one's family connection, making it a personalized book when given by a parent or grandparent. It will make a fine addition to your genealogy library.

Hardcover Print: $33.95 Reverend Horace Edwin HAYDEN, continues to be the leading genealogist of the PEYTON family of Virginia. His celebrated book, "Virginia Genealogies," published in 1891, included a chapter on the PEYTON family: "PEYTON, 'of Iselham,' Cambridgeshire, England, Gloucester, and Westmoreland Counties, Virginia." The author closely followed the English PEYTON lines in the 1878 book "Genealogical Memoirs of the Extinct Family of Chester of Chicheley," by Robert E. Chester WATERS.
One hundred seventeen years ago, when Reverend HAYDEN published the lineage and history of the PEYTON family of Virginia, his work was the most comprehensive and accurate in data, scope and material ever received. Since then, his extensive "Peyton" chapter in "Virginia Genealogies" has formed the basis of all succeeding published genealogies of the Peyton family.
This scanned reprint will be a welcome and necessary resource for those studying the PEYTON family of Virginia. His acclaimed essay "Descent" is included.

Print: $26.95 The PEYTON Book is a well documented genealogy that includes the history and heritage of the PEYTON/PAYTON family. It spans two generations of English PEYTON forebears, and nine generations of the Virginia descendants of Henry PEYTON of Lincoln's Inn. His sons were among the Cavaliers of the Northern Neck of Colonial Virginia. After the Restoration of King Charles II, some returned to England. Of the two who remained, Colonel Valentine PEYTON and Gentleman Henry PEYTON, only the latter left PEYTON descendants. The brothers were seated at Stony Hill, their plantation along Aquia Creek, in what is now Stafford County. Included is an ancient PEYTON pedigree beginning with Robert PEYTON (circa 1640-1694) of Gloucester, Virginia and continuing back twenty-nine generations to the Vikings. The book details the PEYTON line from Henry PEYTON, circa 1560, to Martha Ann Elizabeth PEYTON (1844-1927). No living people are included, however there are charts where one may include a personal family lineage. It is indexed.
