Peyton was the son of George Noland.
Georgia Militia War of 1812

Served as a private in Capt. John E. Little's Co. 1st Regt., GA Militia, from August 26, 1813 to February 1, 1814. He was mustered out at Fort Mitchell. He apparently worked with his wife's father and brothers in the gold mining Business in Carroll Co. and family tradition says that he died of a venomous snake's bite that occurred in the entrance of a mining tunnel. After his death, his widow continued his mining work, for she is listed in the 1850 C. as a gold miner.
Peyton was the husband of Sarah (Sallie) Moseley Noland and worked as a gold miner during Villa Rica's glory days. According to family stories (unconfirmed), he died at age 45 as a result of being struck in the face by a venomous snake when he was entering a "man-way" that led into a mine.

As a young man, he served in the Georgia Militia during the War of 1812 along with his brother-in-law, Samuel Gathright Mozley who is buried at Old Salt Springs in Lithia Springs.
