I'm wondering if it was given to her because of their son named Peyton? He could have been named after his paternal grandmother, assuming Hardy & PSV (cited on Sallie's profile) are correct that the maiden name of Richard's wife Sallie was Peyton.
From Robert Peyton's profile -
Note - He was a major in the Gloucester, Virginia militia, but a daughter born 1663 would have been by a previously unknown wife... Robert Peyton-434 married Mary in 1668 (according to Crozier).
I also checked Peytons of Virginia II - the AF Line (page 736) begins with Dorothy Peyton, m Charles Smith, son of Lawrence Smith, but it does not say who Dorothy's father was. The AF Line has Charles and Dorothy's son Robert Smith & his "Elizabeth Unknown" wife as parents of (among others) Dorothy Smith, born c1730, married Joseph Wyatt.
