Several branches of the Peyton family came to Virginia and America. Peyton Townes and his siblings were descended from Maj. Robert Peyton who emigrated from England to America c. 1679. The connection is through through Frances Ann Gwynn Giles, their great great grandmother, who was the wife of Gov. William Branch Giles. Her father was Thomas Peyton Gwynn, who was the son of Frances Peyton, the granddaughter of Robert Peyton.
(Governor Giles actually married two members of the Peyton family. His first wife, Martha Peyton Tabb, was a cousin of Frances Gwynn. The Governor married Frances after the death of Martha)
The Peyton family traces its name back to Reginald De Peyton (1100-1136) who was the first to use the name, based on his home Peyton Hall in Suffolk. The family line includes many knights and nobles. Going further back, the Peytons were descended from Rollo the Viking and other Viking warriors and leaders.
Maj. Robert Peyton was connected through separate paths to Reginald Peyton and in a direct line of male Peytons to John (Peyton) de Peyton (B.1345).
Maj. Robert Peyton was born in England in 1640 and came to Virginia before 1679. His wife was Mary (probably Keeble). He was an attorney, planter, and was also a Major of the Gloucester County troops. Through headrights (grants of land for transporting immigrants) and purchase he acquired over 2,000 acres in Gloucester and New Kent counties. He established Isleham in Gloucester County, named after his family's estate in England.
