Peyton is said to have died in 1876, but clearly he is still living in the 1880 census.
Some assert that Peyton is the son of Joseph L. LUNSFORD & Elizabeth HOWARD, but their children are all accounted for and their censuses simply leave no room for another son, much less two more sons, and we know Peyton had a brother, Joseph.

If Peyton wasn't married in 1860, he can't have a child 10 years old in 1870 (but John is 19 in 1880, which makes sense if he's 9, not 10, here). The FUQUA children are Margaret's from her prior relationship(s).
