Download or read book Peyton Randolph and Revolutionary Virginia written by Robert M. Randolph and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2019-11-13 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt:  In 1763, King George III's government adopted a secret policy to reduce the American colonies to "due subordinance" and exploit them. This brought on the American Revolution. In Virginia, there was virtually unanimous agreement that Britain's actions violated Virginia's constitutional rights. Yet Virginians were deeply divided as to a remedy. Peyton Randolph, Speaker of the House of Burgesses 1766-1775 (and chairman of the First and Second Continental Congresses), worked to unify the colony, keeping the conservatives from moving too slowly and the radicals from moving too swiftly. Virginia was thus the only major colony to enter the Revolution united. Randolph was a masterful politician who produced majorities for critical votes leading to revolution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PAYTON/PEYTON Descendants from Northeast Georgia IV book fourth edition with its genealogical charts and source information in chronological order has been updated and revised as of 6 March 2019. This book is a documentation of William Payton, Junior and his sons, Cornelius, Leroy, William III, Gabriel, Moses and George and their descendants that left Amherst County, Virginia for northeast Georgia after the Revolutionary War in 1784 where land was free. The Revolutionary War left the people in Virginia penniless and restless in spirit. The Virginians had made great sacrifices to secure their country's independence. The Payton's started out poor, like so many of their fellow constituents at that time. William Payton, Jr. and family were first in Washington & Wilkes Counties before they settled on 300 acres of third quality land in Madison County before moving on. The Payton's hunted and fished for a living, while two sons of Cornelius; Richard & Isaac Newton were carpenters that probably built 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 as pioneers.In this edition, you will find a total of 4,415 Payton/Peyton descendants, 11 generations, 1,500 marriages, 976 different surnames, 254 obituaries, 96 photos/images, numerous short stories and transcribed newspaper articles throughout the book. This updated edition provides the most current known information with 108 type pages from an update file, 615 additional family members, 187 additional families and twice as many obituaries and photos since the second edition was printed. Also new in this edition is the William Payton, Sr. pedigree chart, a hand drawn land plat showing where the William Payton, Jr. cemetery is located. This book is privatized and contains no personal information about living persons ********************************************************************************************REVIEWS of the PAYTONs/PEYTONs of Northeast Georgia book: Joan Allen, Peyton Society of Virginia (PSV) Genealogist wrote: Congratulations and thank you for letting me know that your book is available.

Download or read book PEYTON of England and Virginia written by Rev. Horace Edwin Hayden and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2008-08-15 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book The Washingtons Volume 6 Part 1 written by Justin Glenn and published by Savas Publishing. This book was released on 2014-09-05 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part of a series filled with “gratifying detail” about the ancestry of the first US President, this volume contains the tenth-generation descendants. (Robert K. Krick, author of The Smoothbore Volley that Doomed the Confederacy, Stonewall Jackson at Cedar Mountain, and Lee’s Colonels) This is the sixth volume of Dr. Justin Glenn’s comprehensive history that traces the “Presidential line” of the Washingtons, the vast family originated by the immigrant John Washington, who settled in Westmoreland Co., Va., in 1657, married Anne Pope, and became the great-grandfather of President George Washington. This volume contains the late nineteenth and twentieth century born descendants of John Washington’s daughter, Anne (Washington) Wright and as such transports the reader through many of the major historical events of those eras by providing the stories of the family members who lived through them. Although structured in a genealogical format for the sake of clarity, this is no bare bones genealogy but a true family history with over 1,200 detailed biographical narratives. These in turn strive to convey the greatness of the family that produced not only The Father of His Country but many others, great and humble, who struggled to build that country. “It is surprising that no comprehensive family history has been published. Justin M. Glenn’s The Washingtons: A Family History finally fills this void for the branch to which General and President George Washington belonged, identifying some 63,000 descendants.” —John Frederick Dorman, editor of The Virginia Genealogist (1957–2006) and author of Adventurers of Purse and Person

Download or read book Creating Colonial Williamsburg written by Anders Greenspan and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2020-11-12 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Creating Colonial Williamsburg, Anders Greenspan examines the restoration and re-creation of the structures and gardens of Virginia's colonial capital beginning in 1926. The restoration was undertaken by the Rockefeller family, whose aim was to promote a twentieth-century appreciation for eighteenth-century ideals. Ironically, those ideals, including democracy, individualism, and representative government, were often promoted at the expense of a more complete understanding of the town's true history. The meaning and purpose of Colonial Williamsburg has changed over time, along with America's changing social and political landscapes, making the study of this historic site a unique and meaningful entry point to understanding the shifting modern American character. In recent years, financial struggles and declining attendance forced a new interpretation of the town, extending the presentation into the period of the American Revolution, while adding new interpretive approaches such as street theater and a greater emphasis on technology. Over its eighty-year history, says Greenspan, Colonial Williamsburg has grown and matured, while still retaining its emphasis on the importance of eighteenth-century values and their application in the modern world.
