This is my first post after considerable fruitful lurking Thank you to
all the members who have shared their knowledge and research.

These questions are in regard to the Skipwith family of Virginia. I
have seen the wife of William Skipwith 4th Bt. described as Sarah
Peyton, dau of John Peyton, descendant of the Peyton's of Isleham. The
wife of William Skipwith 6th Bt. is described as Elizabeth Smith the
"only" dau of John Smith Sheriff of Middlesex Co. Virgina.
Do any members have further information about the families of these
two wives.

In an email from the Virginia Historical Society within the past few
months, they indicated that there was no definite proof as to which of
the two John Smiths was the father of Elizabeth Smith. What is the
surrounding body of evidence that would point towards the John Smith
who was the son of John Smith and Mary Warner as opposed to the other
John Smith, about whom I have no additional information. Are there
articles that discuss this question and available evidence?

Regarding Sarah Peyton, is additional information available beyond
the tantalizing descendant of the Peytons of Isleham?

Thank you for any assistance.

Susan
