               *birth order and inclusion based on Dick Payne's research

I have little information on this family but the DNA project by Dick Payne seems to have proved the lineage I list here.  See the link below to find other Payne family links.  I have tried to clean up this family according to the research and DNA  results.  The research I have have found over the years has been very confusing because of the multiple John, Joshua, Isaac and Isaiah Paynes in many different locations at the same time.  What I've included here is a severely cropped tree for  Isaac and Sarah. 

Isaac and Sarah Payne.  They are believed to have married after 19 Sept  1733 and to have lived in Queen Anne County until 1742 based on the records given below:     Note: “loving friend”, not son-in-law in first citation.  There is long been held a theory that Sarah of this marriage was a Daulton but there is no proof to this.  If she is a Daulton she may have been married to a Daulton previously or perhaps a sister of James Daulton in the next document but even this seems unlikely to Dick Payne. [Dick Payne 6/17/16]

1833 - The following Revolutionary War application by Nehemiah Payne helps to document the migration of the Payne family from Maryland to Georgia.  The dates of birth and location are not consistent to make him a child of Isaac and Sarah above.  He may be the child of William Payne, according to Patrick Payne, who moved to Dorchester, MD from Middlesex, Virginia.  "Patrick Payne says the Middlesex, Va Payne's and Md Paynes are related and used matching DNA evidence of this relationship.  Some state that Thomas Payne and Nehemiah Payne are brothers but I have seen no evidence to support this claim except they were both in Orange, NC prior to the Rev. War. "[notes of Dick Payne 6/10/2010] Note that it is filed as "Nehemiah Paine". He applies for a Revolutionary War Pension certificate #2-32433 "at age ninety nine years on the 13th day of December last" of 1833. Although Nehemiah Payne is not connected to this particular family this history give some feel for the possible migration route of other Paynes. 

He says that he enlisted "in the Spring of 1775 under Capt. McDaniel and attached to Genl. Butlers command in Orange Co., North Carolina and marched to Hillsborough  North Carolina and served a tour of three months was discharged by Capt McDaniel returned home and was frequently called out  skirmishing parties but cannot say what length of time was employed this was the year 1776 and 1777 and 1778.  I was drafted to serve a three months tour as a substitute by the name of White. In the year 1779 I was with Capt  William Douglap horse company in several scouting expeditions but cannot say positively how long and in the year 1780 I was also engaged at times with Capt Douglap and in the year 1781 I was drafted into service for three months under Capt John Taylor who was attached to Col. Rayborns Regiment marched to Hillsborough North Carolina and remained there guardeing the said the whole of said tour.."  .  "
1   I was born in Dossett (Dorchester) County, state of Maryland on the 15th of December 1733. 
2   I have no record of my age it having been burned.
3   I  wed in Orange County North Carolina and lived in Orange County, NC at enlistment.  After the Revolution I lived in Greenville Dist. South Carolina since the Revolutionary War until nine years ago the 7th of last January when I moved to Hall County State of Georgia where I now live.
4    I was drafted into the service
5    Gen. Butler Col. Mayburn and Capt Eli McDaniel are officers I recollected to have 
6th I received two discharges one from Capt McDaniel the other from Capt Farmer
7th Thomas Hix Isaac Butterworth Lemuel Clayton and the Reverend Jame Whittne are persons to whom I am well known
6th and in Jan 1824 he moved to Hall County GA where he applied for pension 17 Jun 1833."
 
other documents attached say that his Certificate 23836, issued April 10, 1834, rate $20 per annum, commenced March 4, 1831, Act of June 7, 1832, Georgia Agency. His parents and other relative are not listed. Dorset probably meant Dorchester Co.. Col. "Mayburn" probably meant Mebane. [Rev. War Pension file S32433.]



1820 - In a history of Boone Co., MO James Payne, b. about 1803 in Rowan, NC, states he left Smith Co. TN in 1818 with his grandfather, John Payne, to come to Boone Co. MO to settle. James and John Payne are listed as living in Persia, MO in 1820. John Payne, Sr. is listed on 1821--25 Boone Co., MO Tax Rolls. This is the last record I have been able to find on John Payne.  [records of Patrick Payne,  Ancestry.com]
