Tremendous amount of effort and great care was taken to make this book as perfect as possible over the past two years by making it even more readable and easier to understand for the non-genealogist.This book with its genealogical charts and source information in chronological order begins in Amherst County, Virginia, where William Payton, Junior lived prior to migrating to Northeast Georgia circa 1784. This book contains breakthrough information, reference sources and provides detailed information about his children.The Paytons/Peytons started out in Northeast Georgia poor like so many of their fellow constituents during that time. William Payton, Jr. and his sons settled on 300 acres of third quality land in Madison Co., Georgia that was not conducive to farming. The Payton's hunted and fished for a living, while two sons of Cornelius; Richard & Isaac Newton were carpenters and probably built log houses or made furniture. The Payton's had no slaves, very few farm animals, probably a one room log cabin, no schools so they couldn't read or write. They also had to contend with the Cherokee Indians and put up with other hardships.
