Notes for Barbara Peyton
Although the 1850 through 1880 censuses suggest a birth date around 1829 or late 1828, she may have really been born either in the second half of 1830, or else around 1825. The 1830 census for the Phillip Peyton family recorded no daughters under 5, but three of them age 5 to 9.
According to FindaGrave.com, her gravestone has the dates 1820-1888, but there is no photograph. The stone was likely worn, so the birth date may have been misread.
