Synopsis

Excerpt from Memoir of John Howe Peyton, in Sketches by His Contemporaries, Together With Some of His Public and Private Letters, Also a Sketch of Ann M. Peyton The following sketches of John Howe Peyton, by some of his contemporaries, and the scanty material gleaned from an imperfect file of the Republiean Farmer (newspaper) of 1811-12, and from the Staunton Spectator from 1838 to 1847, (between 1811 and 1830, only a few mutilated and unbound Staunton newspapers exist, ) and a small parcel of family papers, letters, etc., which escaped destruction during the civil war; are all that that can be found to throw any light upon the life of one of Virginia's purest men and greatest lawyers. And thus his fame must largely rest upon the applause and praises, which his efforts called forth, with his immediate hearers and admirers.
