TWO CHILDREN--a girl 4 years old and a boy 2 years old.
LILLIAN DECK--13, the only daughter of R. A. Deck of El Reno.
The gasoline tank of the automobile exploded and set fire to the wreckage. The bodies of all except Payne were badly burned. Payne, who was driving, was thrown clear of the wreckage and killed instantly. The Payne Family had been visiting in El Reno and was returning to their home in Duncan when the tragedy occurred.

Miss Deck's father is a Rock Island conductor and has a passenger run. The tragedy happened at the same dangerous crossing that about two months ago occurred a similar smash and which took the lives of four occupants of an automobile. At this place the road and railroad track parallel for some distance before reaching the crossing. At the crossing the auto road takes a sudden turn and dip to cross the railroad. It is impossible to see a train at this place because of the high embankments. Mr. Payne is a nephew of W. W. Payne and Mrs. Payne is a niece of Mrs. Mack Vandergriff, of this city.
The bodies of the victims were brought as far as Marlow where met by relatives with conveyances and brought to Duncan for burial.

Notes:

The 1890 Chickasaw Census showed: Payne, T B & Wife Husband's Age 26 Wife's Age 19 She was listed as Chickasaw by blood, and he was shown as Chickasaw by marriage.

Fay Yeager cites "Indian Pioneer History" volume 40 as saying "Thomas Payne was deputy Marshall of Ardmore 1891-1892." Ardmore is in Carter County, adjoining Stephens County.

On the 1896 Chickasaw Census Roll for Pickens County, Velma Township, Indian Territory, Thomas B Payne is shown as a 34 year old male, with his tribal enrollment taking place in 1897 in Pickens County (No. 77). He was shown as the son of Thomas H. Payne and Martha J. Payne, both noncitizens. His son, Thomas H. Payne, is shown as being 5 years old, 1/32 Chickasaw by blood, with a tribal enrollment also in Pickens County (No. 20), and shown as the son of Thomas B. Payne and Mollie Payne (deceased), a resident of Pickens County.

An unnamed baby, a child of Thomas Payne, is buried (undated) in Section 9, Block 15, Plot 7, Marlow Cemetery, Oklahoma. It is not known if it was a boy or girl. Could this have been a child of Thomas and Molly? The three of them are buried side by side.

Abstracts from the Duncan Eagle Vol. 12, 11 Oct. 1906. Local Mention:

Mr. & Mrs. Rufe Deck came down from Chickasha to attend the funeral of Tom Payne who died this morning at 6.

Died this morning at the residence of John O'Neill, Tom Payne, after a long and lingering illness like consumption. He owned a fine farm near Arthur where he lived with his family. He leaves a wife & 4 children, the oldest, a son who is attending school in Decatur, TX. He will be buried in the Marlow Cemetery. He was a bro. to Mrs. John O'Neill, Walter & Wm. Payne of Marlow. (Courtesy of Lynell Cordell).

Charles Strong reports that Thomas Bunker Payne died without a will. He owned some 300 acres of land that he had been alloted as being a Chickasaw by Marriage, so it took some time to settle his estate due to his children being minors. He cites Stephens County OK Probate Case #290. Walter W. Payne was guardian and executor of his estate.

Thomas married Lillian James about Feb 1899 in Indian Territory. Lillian was born on 19 Sep 1877 in Texas; died on 22 Nov 1910 in Stephens County, Oklahoma; was buried in Marlow Cemetery, Marlow, Stephens County, Oklahoma. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Called Lillie. Fay Payne Yeager has a photograph of Thomas B and his second wife Lillie with their first child, little Clyde Marion, taken in an Indian Territory studio in about 1900. Lillie has an Indian appearance but was listed as "white" on the 1910 census. Additionally, she was not listed as a citizen of The Five Civilized Tribes.

Later correspondence from her only surving child, Marguerite Ray, however, indicates she may indeed have been Native American. Marguerite wrote both Bessie (Gentry) Payne and Lois Payne in 1950, stating "I had my proof of heirship papers filled out in Duncan and took them by Muskogee to the Indian Agency." She also refers to help she received from Baron McClendon in this process. However, Marguerite may have been filing for benefits based solely on her father's enrollment in the Chickasaw tribe by marriage to his first wife, and not on her mother, Lillian.

This is Lillie's census listing at the time of the 1910 census, shortly before she died:

DUNCAN WEEKLY BANNER Obituaries and Death Notices

November 25, 1910

The Banner, in common with the many friends of the relatives, is grieved at the announcement of the death, on Tuesday evening at 7 o'clock, of Mrs. Lillian Payne at the family home east of Duncan. She was sick only a few hours, acute conjestion being the cause of her death. Five (sic) children, the youngest five years of age, survive her. She was the wife of T. B. Payne, brother of W.W. Payne, who died about two years ago. Interment was in the Marlow cemetery yesterday afternoon.

The inscription on her headstone reads:
Honored beloved and We??
Here Mother lies
They who knew her best will
Bless her Name
and keep her memory dear
While life shall last

She MIGHT have been the daughter of Edward and Elizabeth JAMES, who were listed on the 1900 Indian Territory, Chickasaw Nation, census as follows:

JAMES, Edward Feb 1858 Kentucky Kentucky Kentucky
JAMES, Elizabeth Jan 1860 Texas Missouri Missouri Mother of 11 children, 10 surviving

9 children were listed in the home with the James family. Perhaps Lillie, who married Thomas Bunker Payne in 1899, was the 10th child, the only one not living at home. I was unable to find this family in 1880 to confirm they might have had a three year old daughter named Lillian.

Notes:

Thomas Hamilton Payne was born 1819 in Kentucky. He was remembered by his family as a great hunter with gun and with hounds. He apparently moved to Missouri sometime before his marriage in 1843.

Charles R. Strong and his daughter, Mary Pat Strong, while at the Shelbina Library came across many years of the land tax records for Shelby County from 1836 - 1863. The following information was found on these tax rolls:

Year Owner Acres Section Township Range
Thomas H. Payne
80 16 59 9
80 16 59 9
40 17 59 9

This family was not listed on the 1860 Ledger of Shelby slave owners.

During the Civil War Thomas served in the Union Army. He enlisted with Captian C. Willmott in Shelbyville, Missouri on the 4th of April 1862. His unit in the Union Army was Capt. James W. Lampkin's Company H, 11th Regiment Cavalry, Missouri State Militia Volunteers. Thomas was made corporal. He was described as 6 ft. 2 in, with a light complexion, black hair and blue eyes. According to his service records, "It became evident soon after enlistment that diseases existed rendering the soldier unfit for duty." On June 1, he entered the hospital in Palmyra, Missouri to be treated. He was later moved to a hospital in Macon, Missouri. Thomas was discharged 7 July 1862. Surgeon C.C. Dickinson, who examined Thomas state that he was unfit for service "because of dyspepsia...existing long prior to enlistment. This man has suffered symptons of dypepsia for many years...and was unquestionably unfit for service when he enlisted." However, Thomas's immediate superior Sgt. Brown later testified that "Thomas H. Payne was, to the best of my knowledge, a sound able-bodied man....(and became) disabled in the line of duty by sleeping...in a dank room with open windows (during a period of almost constant rain), by reason of which he contracted asthma and typhoid pneumonia (as did many other soldiers quartered in this room)." This contradictory evidence caused Martha problems as she was trying to receive his service pension; and she had to provide lots of documents in order to eventually receive it.

In the book APRIL 1865, Jay Winik notes that "On one level, (Missouri) was the very embodiment of the Civil War itself: a conflict-ridden slave state that didn't secede, a state deeply divided in loyalties, a state with an ill-formed identity. On yet another level, as it descended into full-scale guerilla war, Missouri became a very different creature altogether, less a reflection of what the Civil War was and more a mirror for what the Civil War could become. It became a killing field. Missouri also produced the most bloodthirsty guerillas of the war. Topping the list was Willam Clarke Quantrill, a handsome, blue-eyed, twenty-four-year-old former Ohio schoolteacher. A close second was Bloody Bill Anderson, whose father was murdered by Unionists..among their disciples were young men destined for later notoriety: Frank and Jesse James, and Coleman Younger...In early 1862, Quantrill and his band of bushwhackers launched a series of strikes into Kansas...(This led to) thousands of Federal troopers and Kansas militiamen (to) quickly pursue the bushwhackers...thus escalated the vicious cycle of retaliation and revenge...The Union soldiers hunted the guerillas like animals. By 1864, the guerrilla war had reached new peaks of savagry. Robbing stagecoaches, harassing citizens, cutting telegraph wires were everyday occurences; but now it was no longer simply enough to ambush and gun down the enemy. They had to be mutilated and just as often scalped...In one massacre, a Quantrill chieftain calmly hopped from one body to another, plundering his prey. Altogether he stepped on 124 corpses. In another massacre, those who surrendered were clubbed to death...(Eventually) all order broke down. Groups of revenge-minded Federals, militia and even soldiers, became guerillas themselves, angrily stalking Missouri, tormenting, torturing and slaying Southern-sympathizers. Ruthless repriseals and random terror became the norm, and the entire state was dragged into an incomprehensible and accelerating whirlpool of vengence...the very fabric of all civil society was torn apart...civilians became not just anxious spectators but unwilling participants. In a war without fronts, boundaries, and formal organizations, the divisions between civilians and soldiers/partisans almost totally evaporated. As time wore on, ever-greater numbers of people fled--to Texas, Colorado, California, Idaho even Tennessee. By 1864, most rural Missourians had become refugees, inside or outside the state." (Winik, pps. 158-163).

The following deed was made 6 January 1876 between Thomas H and Martha J Payne his wife, Francis W Bosworth and Elizabeth H Bosworth his wife Wilbern Baldwin and Sarah H Baldwin his wife for and in consideration of one Dollar to be paid by Levi F. Payne of the county of Marion, Missouri sell real estate in Shelby County, Missouri to wit: the west half of the North East quarter of section 12 township 58 range 10 west containing 80 acres more or less. Recorded in the State of Kentucky, County of Jefferson (vol 2 C, P-138). [Apparently this had been recorded incorrectly at one time, because two deed corrections relating to this transaction immediately followed this deed].

In 1877 and 1878, Tom's health became much worse. He was advised by his family physician (Dr. Payne of Clarence, Shelby County, Missouri, whose biography* follows this) that his medical condition "was incurable and he advised him to go to Texas as the change in climate (the air being less humid) might help him." In Brooke Payne's book THE PAYNES OF VIRGINIA, he lists the following 10 children as accompanying Thomas and Martha Payne to Texas: Samuel, William H.H., Newton, Winfield Scott, Elizabeth, Catherine, Caroline, Berilla Jane, Thomas and Walter.

A published biography of William H.H. Payne has a slightly different list of children: Elizabeth, wife of John O'Neil, of Duncan; Kate, wife of Thomas Joyner, of Oklahoma; Samuel M., of Stephens county; William H., whose career has been sketched; Winfield, near Red Moon, Oklahoma; Levi N(ewton), of Wewoka, Oklahoma; Josephine, wife of L. F. McClannahan, of Duncan; Lula, wife of Allison Scott, of Duncan; Thomas B. ; and Walter W., of Duncan.

Note that Berilla Jane is on Brooke Payne's list (and also the LDS Ancestral Files), but not in the biography of William H.H. Payne, or on any of the census records viewed. This could be the wife of Levi F. Payne. Therefore, it is assumed she is on Brooke Payne's list in error. Also, the LDS files have a son Lee, not listed in any other record. It is also assumed this also was an error.

Tom and Martha's daughter Catherine Joyner had preceeded them to Texas. The other children all (without exception) moved to Texas as well. [Conversations with Lewis Adair Payne; National Archives as College Park; Thomas H. Payne Pension Application #36012-General Affidavit blank completed and signed by affiant G.T. Joyner of Chillcothe P.O., Hardeman Co, Texas on 16 February 1889].

A neigboring farmer in Hardeman County was L.F. McClanahan, whom they became "intimately acquainted with." Two of their sons were married to McClanahan's. Both L.F. and another neighbor noted that Thomas was not able to perform manual labor (more than a quarter of his time) and that he had a severe cough. [National Archives as College Park; Thomas H. Payne Pension Application #36012-General Affidavit blank completed and signed by affiants L.F. McClanahan and J.B. Loring, Hardeman Co, Texas on 5 April 1887]

At some point around 1880, Thomas and Martha appear to have moved east one hundred miles from Hardeman County to Montague County, and in 1880 itself, they are enumerated on the Cooke County, Texas census.

In 1883, Thomas made a claim to be placed on the Invalid Pension Roll of the United States. He stated he was greatly disabled, which prevented him from obtaining his subsistance by manual labor (farming) by reasons of contracting asthma while in service of the United States. Thomas signed the declaration in ink with some difficulty. He clearly was a man unused to the demands of a pen.

Thomas died on September 14, 1884. Dr. John Stinson, who attended him at the time of his last illness, stated that "He was suffering at the time...with what I thought to be asthmatic bronchitis. He was physically a wreck...He had all the symptoms of chronic bronchitis, and continually suffered from asthma, up to the time of his death, which occured from exhaustion."

After Tom's death, Martha pursued the claim for a Widow's Invalid Pension. Her attempt gives the impression of being a much more determined assault on the official bastions, although the ultimate outcome is unknown.

There is a photograph (120X170mm) of the elderly Thomas Hamilton Payne in the collection of Lewis Adair Payne. The original was presumably done circa. 1880 in Montague, Texas. Mary Olive Payne's daughter Dorothy has the original retouched photograph.



Biography of Thomas Payn'e Family Physician, Harry C. Payne (Relationship, if any, unknown)

PAYNE, Harry C, MD (1879 - 1938)

Dr. Harry Clancet Payne worked his way through college, graduating from Missouri University School of Medicine in 1903. He was the son of Bennett Allen Payne, MD, who graduated from Rush Medical College in Chicago in 1868, practiced medicine in Clarence, MO, served in the Union Army in the Civil War, was captured, contracted Tuberculosis while a prisoner and died when Harry was only nine years old.

Dr. Payne practiced medicine for a short time at Cherry Box and nearby Clarence, Mo. In 1904 he married Edna Kahlke of Rock Island, Illinois, and they moved to Paris where he practiced until shortly before his death from cancer.

In 1921 he made an overland trip to Denver, Colorado with Albert Sladeck. He had been told that X-rays of his lungs indicated TB, but those taken at Denver showed what were diagnosed as old scars.

A patient willed him a 13-room home and acreage with the stipulation that it be used as a hospital for at least two years. It was known as the Meyer Memorial Sanitarium in honor of the late parents of his benefactor, Mrs. Minnie Westphaling. After several years it was closed as Paris was not large enough to support a medical facility, and was only twenty five miles from well established hospitals.

He was joined by Dr. Joseph Flynt in 1921. Dr. Flynt practiced in Paris until his death and was aswell loved as Dr. Payne.

Dr. Payne's wife preceded him in death in 1937. They had three daughters - Helen Ford, Virginia Gibbs, Mary Grace Winburn.

Thomas married Martha Jane Marshall on 5 Aug 1843 in Clark County, Missouri. Martha (daughter of Samuel Marshall and Hannah S. Hicks) was born on 27 Mar 1826 in Hardinsburg, Breckinridge County, Kentucky; died on 27 Oct 1900 in Oklahoma; was buried in Marlow Cemetery, Marlow, Stephens County, Oklahoma. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

In THE PAYNES OF VIRGINIA by Brooke Payne, it is noted that she is the daughter of "Silas Marshall of Lagrange, Mo." This is not correct, Silas is actually her brother.

Following marriage in about 1844, the young couple were living next door to Martha's parents in Lewis Co., Missouri.

Fay Payne Yeager found the family on the 1850 census is Lewis County, Missouri.

Dorothy (known as Dotty Bob) Thompson has a Marshall family bible that may have information in it.

Her tombstone in Marlow Cemetery gives her date of birth as 27 Mar 1827; that is exactly one year after what family records show as her her actual birthdate. It is possible that the tombstone is incorrect.

She was 74 at the time of her death, and had been living with her youngest son, Walter and his wife Gertrude at the time of the 1900 census, taken a few months prior to her death.

Notes:

Married:
Thomas Hamilton Payne and Martha J(ane) Marshall were married by Rev. Minor Ford a Minister of the Gospel in Clark County, Missouri on 5 August 1843. Sarah Ann Payne (then aged 63 and wife of Judge John Loomis Smith) signed an affadavit in 1889 stating that having been personally acquanted with the two, she had been present at the marriage of her brother Thomas Payne to Martha Jane Marshall by the Rev. Ford in August of 1843. [Thomas H. Payne Pension Application #494585--Army of the United States Certificate of Disability]

Following the marriage, the young couple were farming and living next door to Martha's parents in Lewis County, Missouri.

Notes:

William's granddaughter said that he never spoke of his own father, but often of his step-father Grymes, a slave owner and cripple. (Payne, p 289)

The first record of William in Shelby County, Missouri can be found in the minutes of the March, 1838 term of the circuit court of Shelby County, William Payne was one of a number of people brought up on charges of gaming. This indulgence was in the form of amusement for dull days, but authorities looked upon it as a dangerous practice, also as a means of "stuffing" their pocketbooks and creating a little stir. Bryant Cockrum, George Gentry, William Payne, Isaac Wooley, Elijah Owens and Robert Joiner were all charged with "playing at loo"; Joseph Holeman and Abraham Vandiver, "for playing seven-up"; Elijah Owens, John Ralls, and Abraham Vandiver, "for playing three up"; Wesley Habbiburton and Joseph Holeman were indicted "for permitting gaming in their house." Three of the parties were convicted. George Gentry was fined $2; Isaac Wooley $1, and William Payne $5. The others were acquitted. (HISTORY OF SHELBY COUNTY, p 25).

Charles R. Strong and his daughter, Mary Pat Strong, while at the Shelbina Library came across many years of the land tax records for Shelby County from 1836 - 1863. The following information was found on these tax rolls:

Year Owner Acres Section Township Range 1841 William Payne 80 13 58 10 1844 William Payne 40 34 59 10 1852-1854 William Payne 80 13 58 10
40 18 58 9 1858 William Payne Sr. Same as Above

At the time of the 1850 census, 20 year old Edward WILSON and 16 year old Sarah WILSON were living with William and Sally, as was 13 year old Philo HOWELL. They were born, respectively, in Kentucky, Missouri, and Ohio. Relationship unknown. Philo Howell was still living with the family at the time of the 1860 census.

This family was not listed on the 1860 Ledger of Shelby slave owners.

William married Sarah "Sally" Hamilton on 17 Jan 1807 in Bourbon County, Kentucky. Sarah was born about 1790 in Kentucky; died after 1870. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

In the book THE PAYNES OF VIRGINIA, the author noted that "Mrs Payne had an unusual gift as a nurse and went about on horse-back rendering gratuitous service where needed in her neighbourhood." He said she was the daughter of Mrs. Mary (McKinzie) Hamilton, who consented to her marriage.

Listed with daughter Sarah Payne Baldwin on the 1870 Marion County, MO census, age 81.

Notes:

During a November 2002 research trip to Missouri and Kentucky, Charles Strong found in the Breckinridge County archives a booklet titled "Descendants of Thomas Marshall Bedford Co., Va. Plus Hix-Owen-Nicholson & Related Families" compiled by Ralph E. Marshall. Completed September, 1986" Charles copied numerous relevant pages from this booklet, the copies now in the files of Melinda McLemore Strong in San Antonio. This book states that Samuel Marshall was the next to youngest son of Thomas Marshall. It was speculated by the author that "Perhaps Samuel had demonstrated good business sense or was a favorite of his parents as Thomas appointed him the Executor of his Will in October 1819. William and Alexander were several years older than Samuel and lived in the same part the county but were not chosen for that responsibility. Samuel and Alexander must have been fairly close as brothers as they married the Hix sisters and then took their families to Breckinridge county, Kentucky.

Census and birth records indicated that the Samuel and Alexander Marshall families made the move to Kentucky after the 1820 census was taken but probably not later than the spring of 1821. Alexander is recorded as a grocer and shoemaker in his earliest years in Hardinsburg but there is less information on Samuel. The first record of a land transaction for Samuel shows him purschasing 141 1/4 acres of land for $330 from Littleton and Lucretia Martin of February 23, 1825. This farm was about 1 1/2 miles south of Hardinsburg and bordered on land purchased by Alexander in 1829. The 1830 census (below) lists Samuel and Alexander as neighbors and Samuel is shown with one slave. Charles made a xerox of the actual deed, which was in Book G, pages 143 and 144.

They are recorded there in the 1830 census [KY Microfilm No. 16, page 65]. The only other Marshall head of household is his brother, Alexander Marshall.

Samuel Marshall's listing on the 1830 census shows his household consists of one (1) free white male from between the ages of 5-10, and one (1) free white male between the ages of 30 and 40. There are also two (2) free white females under the age of 5, two (2) free white females between the ages of 5-10, and one (1) free white female between the age of 30 and 40.

Fourteen years later, in 1835, they migrated again, this time joining the great four year rush caused by the opening to pioneer settlement of the last Missouri Indian Lands. This great human movement, which ended in 1837, was not unlike the Californian gold rush of later years. This time the Marshalls settled in rural Lewis Co. from where they then moved to LaGrange at a later date, possibly in the 1870s.

A visit to the courthouse at Monticello in Lewis county revealed that Samuel was involved in many land transactions from 1835 to 1870. History books lists him as a settler in 1835 in Union Township 60, Range 6, so he probably farmed just west and perhaps a little south of LaGrange. (Ralph Marshall, p 27).

Census lists him as a retired farmer living in LaGrange with real estate valued at $5,000 in 1860 and $4,000 in 1870. Town of LaGrange currently has about 1,200 population and is located on the Mississippi River in southeast part of Lewis county. No examination has been made of all the recorded land transactions but Samuel and Hannah did sign a deed on March 23, 1867. Then the next record in July 1869 was for sale of land by another person acting as trustee for Samuel, an indication that he was no longer capable of handling his own affairs. Perhaps the last entry was in December 1870 where there was a Sheriff's sale of some lots Samuel owned in LaGrange. No will or probate is on record at the Monticello courthouse so perhaps there was little property left to be disposed of when Samuel and Hannah died. At this point, no cemetery record has been found to indicate when Samuel and Hannah died or where they are buried. It would seem logical that they were either buried in LaGrange or at Asbury Chapel where their son Winfield was laid to rest in 1871. The author walked over the LaGrange cemetery in June 1985 and found not Marshall stones but there were also areas where the markers were broken or had disappeared. (Ralph Marshall, p 27).

The following obituary was found by Mary Pat Strong and Charles R. Strong on an earlier research trip, in June 2002, at the LaGrange Public Library.

The LaGrange (Lewis County, Missouri) Democrat, Nov. 8, 1878.

OBITUARY

MARSHALL-In this city after a short illness, on the 25th inst., Mrs. Hannah S. Marshall, wife of Samuel Marshall, aged 77 years 5 months and 18 days.

"And I heard a voice from Heaven saying unto me, write, 'Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth." Yea, saith the Lord, Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors."

Hannah S. Hicks was born in Campbell county, VA., December 7th, 1797. Was married to Samuel Marshall, March 26th, 1817; moved to Breckenridge county, Ky., in 1821; joined the Methodist Church in 1822; came to Lewis county, Mo., in 1835, and died April 25th, 1875, having lived with her now bereaved husband more than 58 years, and she was a member of the Methodist Church 53 years.

Such is the brief history of an eventful life of love and piety. She was loved by her neighbors. Her children grew up to call her blessed; h husband, also; and he praiseth her. Of course she dies well, leaving the blessed evidence behind that God was with her.

"What fullness of rapture is there,
While Jesus His glory displays?
And purples the heavenly air,
And scatters the odors of grace."

May God bind up the wounded hearts that are left behind, for our mother '"Sleeps in Jesus' blessed sleep, From which none ever wake to weep." BY J. J. POAGE.

The clan of Ulrike (German for Mistress of All) is not among the original "Seven Daughters of Eve" clans, but with just under 2% of Europeans among its members, it has a claim to being included among the numerically important clans. Ulrike lived about 18,000 years ago in the cold refuges of the Ukraine at the northern limits of human habitation. Though Ulrike's descendants are nowhere common, the clan is found today mainly in the east and north of Europe with particularly high concentrations in Scandinavia and the Baltic states.
