Peyton married Nina Lee McGown about Mar 1900 in Texas. Nina (daughter of Jefferson H. McGown and Hattie Williams) was born on 3 Jun 1883 in Texas; died on 17 Feb 1919 in Sabine County, Texas; was buried in McGown Cemetery, Milam, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Could she be the daughter of Lewis Williams? "Lewis and Daniel were in the Civil War. In Dec of 1869, the Lewis, Daniel, and Hillary Judge Williams families came to Texas. At the same time Henry Y. Smith, the Brownings, Greers, Daniel Cordray, and no doubt, many other Georgians transfered themselves to Texas and settled in the Redlands of Sabine County. Lewis S. Williams was a surveyor and farmer."

Notes:

Listed as Alexander on the 1850 census; as A. H. in 1860 and 1870, and as Andrew in 1880 and 1900. Steve McCalip emailed, in August 2015, that his name "...should be "Andrew Henderson McGown" This is what is on the Bible page of his birth, his father's bible (George W. McGown). I have many other documents supporting this...."

"Received a land grant from the Republic of Texas (bro. of John Franklin McGown). Alex H. McGown was sherriff of Sabine County for many years. All these McGowns are buried in the Browning Cemetery on the Camino Real near Milam." (White and Toole, p 52).
