My dad is interested in the DNA project if still available?

I am from Mayo and do indeed know many Peytons by that name including my brothers. I have visited Isleham and am still intrigued as to how they came from there to Mayo - quite a difference. Perhaps free land was being given in return for favours for English wars. perhaps it was related to Catholic versus Protestant in fighting.

I am looking at the Peyton family of County Leitrim, as one of the members of the Payton/Peyton DNA project has roots there in 1790. The Leitim Peytons were prominent landowners, with repeated High Sheriffs of Leitrim, J.P. & D.L.s, and include one deputy governor. They branched to Roscommon, Caban, Sligo, Mayo and Westmeath. Burke's volumes on the Landed Gentry take them back to Rev. Thomas Peyton, presumably Church of Ireland, in County Galway by about 1627. The family used a variant of the Arms of the Peytons of Isleham in Cambridgeshire, so may have been a branch of that family. The DNA results are inconclusive as to that so far, but I have targeted some individuals for recruitment who may help provide some answers. Do you know Peyton males from Connaught? They would be very important additions to our work. Richard Payton Denver Hi Mary.
