Hi Ron, I'm researching the Layton family and I believe Dempsey, is my 2nd great grand uncle, b. 1795 in Sampson Co, NC. Do you have any information on Dempsey's father? I have William Layton, 1744-1824, but I can't confirm this information. And I'm also looking for his father, which I have a John Layton, b. abt 1724 in NC. I also can't find any information about who they may have married. This is an area that I have reached a dead end. I would appreciate any information you may have. Please email me at slayton@tx.rr.com
