Peyton's Creek post office

The post office at Peyton's Creek, a community a few miles north of Carthage in Smith County, was established in 1848. The office's existence was punctuated with periods of discontinued service (from January 30 - December 30, 1857; and from September 22, 1866 - April 6, 1871) before being permanently closed November 25, 1871. Twelve years later another post office was opened in the community, this one named Monoville, which would enjoy much greater longevity, from 1884 to 1991.
