birth order according to Patrick
Payne's records who heads up the Payne DNA project. A
grand-daughter, Lythia Cox, married Henry Machen. She would
probably be
the daughter of Nancy Cox shown in the will.
There is some confusion about the birth
order of
the children. I personally prefer the order of Isaiah's will of
1815.
Carolyn
Adams and Edna Wise Prickett have differing information on the
numbers
of children and number of wives. I hope someone out there can
help to
verify this information. Isaiah probably had at least two
brothers.
These brothers are proposed as being Thomas Payne and Nehemiah
Payne.
1753, Sept 3 - Isaiah Payne receives a land
grant of fifty acres for
"Isaiah's Choice" in Dorchester County, Maryland.
[Coldman. page 211. Ref. YS*/678;BC11/242]
1753, Aug 10 - Thomas Payne files for
"That or None" of fifty two acres in Frederick County, Maryland.

1756, Sept 16 - Daniel Payne files a land
grant of fifty acres for "Hog Pen Landing" in Dorchester County,
Maryland.
Ref.
BC10/266;BC11/242
[Coldman
page 211]
1758- Isaiah sells "Isaiah's Choice" and
seems
to be prepared to move to North Carolina by 1764. [Edwards p.
241]
1778- Isaiah was living in Orange County,
North Carolina on the Haw River. Nearby were Isaiah's brothers
Thomas
and Nehemiah Payne as well as several of Isaiah's sons. [Edwards
p. 241]
1790 - Isaiah Payne purchases 73 acres on
Golden Grove Creek in Greenville County, South Carolina. This
property
was next to James Seaborn with the deed witnessed by Henry
Machen and
Aaron Payne, son of Isaiah.

1814 about- Isaiah's wife seems to have
died.
Isaiah may have had more than one wife but
there is little evidence to identify these wives or the children
which
each may have had.
