    • Enumerated as "Peyton" in the 1850 Warren Co.,TN census...DAH
    • David,

      How does the time get away? Before I knew it the weekend was over.

      Attached is a Word document of the lineage of John Christian and his wife Mary Wilson, as I understand it. Their son, William Peyton Christian, was the "other Peyton" from Warren County. This is what you wanted to see first, right?

      I look forward to sharing data. In a couple days I'll send my lineage, if you're interested in seeing it. Tell me more about yours. Do you currently have family ties to Tennessee or was all that in past generations?

      Below is my contact information. Please send me yours.

      Talk to you soon.
