Biography

Knight of Iselham, Cambridgeshire, Sheriff of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire, Knight of the Sire for Cambridgeshire.

He was a Member (MP) of the Parliament of England for Cambridgeshire in 1529. He was knighted sometime after 1529.

He was the eldest son of Sir Robert Peyton of Isleham. He married Frances, the daughter and heiress of Francis Haselden of Guilden Morden, Cambridgeshire and Chesterford, Essex.

Robert Peyton inherited land in four counties from his father and became for a short time a royal ward; the family had built up estates by marriage with heiresses and Peyton's own marriage brought him and his descendants four entailed Cambridgeshire manors and land in Essex. The names of Peyton Hall manor, Boxford, Suffolk, and of Payton Hall, Alphamstone, Essex, bore witness to the family's long residence in those places; Isleham had become its principal seat in Richard III's reign.3

Peyton's wealth and ancestry assured him from early manhood a place on all Cambridgeshire commissions and may have secured him election to the Parliament of 1523, the names for which are lost. He was knighted during the first session of the Parliament of 1529, but as he was pricked sheriff towards its close he presumably did not sit in its short successor of 1536, although he may have done so again in 1545. He performed other duties appropriate to his station, serving at Anne Boleyn's coronation in 1533 and attending the christening of Prince Edward in 1536 and Anne of Cleves's reception in 1540. He was ordered to raise 80 men for service against the northern rebels in 1536 and probably served in 1544 with the vanguard of the army which captured Boulogne, a campaign for which he provided 20 footmen.4

Most of Peyton's time was probably spent in the management of his estates, which he seems to have concentrated in Cambridgeshire and Suffolk. In February 1550 Peyton obtained a licence for himself and his immediate family to eat meat during Lent; his will, made in the following July, has a preamble mildly Protestant in tone. After small charitable gifts, he left money to his younger children and divided his purchased Cambridgeshire lands and Isleham manor between them in the event of his eldest son Robert's failing to honour his (unspecified) arrangements as to Wicken manor. He directed his wife, the executrix to pay his debts and bring up their younger sons; Robert was to receive £50 a year for 14 years from the income of Wicken manor, valued in the inquisition post mortem at only £40 a year. Peyton died at Isleham on 1 Aug. 1550, the day after he made his will, and was buried in the church there.5

Biography

Historical and Genealogical Notes

William and Mary College Quarterly Historical Magazine, Vol. 18, No. 1.
(Jul., 1909), pp. 59-67.


GWYNN (GWYN, GWINN). Hugh Gwynn was an early settler in Charles River County (sub-
sequently York), and in 1639 represented it in the House of Burgesses. He was a justice
of York in 1641 and burgess in 1646. In 1642 he patented 1,700 acres at the mouth of
the Pyanketank river,. Col. Hugh Gwynn was burgess for Gloucester County in 1652,
and probably died about 1654, when Elizabeth Gwynn patented 700 acres in Isle of Wight
County, as executrix of Hugh Gwynn, who had patented the same in 1640.

Hugh Gwynn,doubtless his son, was vestryman of Kingston parish, Gloucester in 1680. Probably another
son was Rev. John Gwynn a distinguished royalist minister of Ware Parish, Gloucester Co.,
who came to Virginia in the Cromwellian times. He had issue: Edmund Gwynn, who married Lucy Bernard, daughter of Col. William Bernard and Lucy Higginson, his wife
(daughter of Capt. Robert Higginson) (Va. Magazine, IV., 204). Edmund Gwynn made his
will March 10, 1682, and names issue: (1) Lucy, who married Thomas Reade, and (2) John.

Humphrey and John Gwynn at a General Court held Sept. 30, 1681, in their own right and
as attorney for Humphrey Stafford, petitioned for the administration of the estate of
Col. John Burnham, deceased, on the ground that they were his nearest kin (Middlesex
Records). In 1698-9 Mr. John Gwynn is mentioned in the Middlesex Records has having
married Margaret, the relict of Mr. Francis Bridge, who died about 1678, at which time
she spoke of Major Robert Beverley as her "father-in-law".

The destruction of the records of Gloucester and Matthews prevents us from knowing much of John Gwynn, but it
is very possible that he was the father of John Gwynn, who married, February 25, 1720,
Mildred Reade.

He had issue: Humphrey Gwynn, born Dec. 16, 1727; died Dec. 8, 1794,
who wa the owner of Gwynn's Island, when Lord Dunmore occupied it in 1776. He married,
Feb. 21, 1755, Frances, daughter of Thomas and Frances Tabb Peyton, and had issue (1)
John, born March 27, 1756, drowned in Milford Haven on Sept. 11, 1770; (2) Francis, born
Dec. 5, 1757; (3) Mildred, born Nov. 23, 1759; (4) Thomas Peyton, born April 19, 1762
(who married Ann and had 1, Frances Ann, born Dec. 14, 1793, and married William B.
Giles U.S.Senator) (5) Edmund, born August 17,174-; died Jan.---; (6) Martha Peyton, born
Feb. 2, 1764; (7) Humphrey, born Feb. 9, 1769; (8) Lucy, born June 10, 1771; died March
6, 1771; (9) Elizabeth Toye, born April 25, 1772; (10) Mary Tabb, born Aug. 22, 1774;
(11) Matthew Whiting, born Sept. 23, 1776; (12) Lucy, born May 27, 1779. Hayden,
Virginia Genealogies, 269.

Humphrey Gwynn, the father of these children, advertises, in
1776, 500 acres of Gwinn's Island for sale, QUARTERLY XI., 194. Mary Tabb Gwynn, one of
these children, married Samuel Turner and their daughter Francis H. P. Turner, married,
August 24, 1824, William Robinson and their daughter Martha Peyton Tabb
Tuner, married, Feb. 25, 1830, Hon. Augustine H. Shepherd, of North Carolina.

Query:
Can any one give the parentage and ancestry of Augustine H. Shepherd?
The relationship of David Gwynn, of Richmond County, to the parties above mentioned
is not known. He made his will February 22, 1703, which was proved March 8, 1704. He
mentions two brothers - Benjamin Gwynn, of Bristol, England and Rev. Edward Gwynn -
a minister of Wales, and a sister Mary Gwynn. He had real estate near Harford-West in
Wales. In 1699 there was a deed recorded in Richmond County from David Gwynn and his
wife Katherine, daughter of Samuel Griffin. She married I. William Fauntleroy; II. David
Gwynn. The will of Samuel Griffin, dated February 2, 1702, and recorded in Northumber-
land County names his grandchildren - (1) Elizabeth Gwynn (who married I. Samule Lyde
of Bristol, II. Hon. John Tayloe); 2, Sarah Gwynn and 3, Katherine (who married Newman
Brockenbrough).
