Payne was age 74 at that time, and a livelong resident of Sabine County, living about two miles south of Geneva. He was also a grandson of William Roberts "who once owned a league of land lying partly in Sabine and partly in San Augustine Counties, near the town of Tebo. From family history I understand that William Roberts died about 1836, in San Augustine County. His wife was Sarah Roberts, my grandmother. After my Grandfather's death my Grandmother married a man by the name of Tanner who lived with her a few years and then, I understand, abandoned her. My Grandmother and Tanner had no children.

My Grandmother, Sarah Roberts, died before I can remember, sometime before the Civil War."
