Try Helen & Tim Marsh's books on Lincoln Co TN & also check Madison Co AL (MS Territory then).I do not know if this is YOUR Peyton (all spellings) Worthy (also Worthey & Worthie) or not but a Peyton Worthy was around in 1810, etc.
MY Elizabeth WORTHY BOWLING was born in 1780s in Chester Co SC, according to her son's sketch in Goodspeed's History.Elizabeth & Alexander Bowling were in Lincoln Co TN in 1810 & then in Madison Co AL in 1811 & 1818 in Lawrence Co AL.
Paton Worthy bought 64 acres in Sec 11-1-1W (Madison Co AL)in Sept 1818 & Payton Worthy was a witness when my Alex & Eliz. Worthy Bowling(all spellings) sold their land in Madison Co AL in Nov 1818 (Sec 14-1-1W).
I do NOT know relationship, if any with MY Elizabeth Worthy, but it looks suspicious.
