Dick Eastman writes today of a Brighton College scholarship that's gone unclaimed because a candidate with the right name can't been found. It was funded by a bequest of Brighton graduate Major Charles Wakehurst Peyton, who placed one strict requirement on potential recipients.
Major Peyton's will stipulated that only a child with the "unhyphenated name of Peyton on their birth certificate" could claim the prize. [Link]Further, the name must be spelled "Peyton"—no "Paytons" allowed.

Tracking down these cash prizes may be the best way to prove to one's family that genealogy is a worthwhile pursuit. The second-best way? Saving their lives.

It's actually a boarding school...
From http://www.brightoncollege.net:
The college consists of three separate schools serving the following age groups:
* 3 - 8 years in the Pre Prep, presently 185 students in total, led by Headmistress Sue Wicks.
* 8 - 13 years in the Prep School, presently 295 students in total, led by Headmaster Brian Melia.
* 13 - 18 years in the Senior School, presently 720 in total, led by Headmaster Richard Cairns.
Yup, that's why I wrote "It's not unusual for a school to offer scholarships..."
