John Payne, Jr.

Notes:

His wife, Anne, was the daughter of Col. John WALKER of Ra. Co.

The earliest record relating to John Payne was filed 10 November 1655, noting a gift by his father to the latter's sons Richard and John, Jr of two heifers named Coll and Stiwelin respectively.

On March 23, 1670, John Payne Sr. and his wife Margaret made a deed to their daughter-in-law Anne Payne, widow of their son John, of the land whereon she was living "to occupy, possess, and enjoy the aforesaid dividend during the minority of the child or children now in her womb..." The unborn child referred to was Elizabeth, born in 1670. (Payne, pp. 54, 55).

John married Anne Walker about 1668. Anne was born about 1652; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

1. Elizabeth Payne was born in 1670 in Rappahannock County, Virginia; died on 22 May 1714 in Middlesex County, Virginia.

Notes:

See pages 44-51 of "The Paynes of Virginia" for more information on John Payne, Sr. He appeared to be a ship owner, as he was paid for provisioning and transporting Burgesses from Lancaster to James Town. He may also have been a carpenter, as in 1656 the county court ordered him to make for the county one pair of stocks and a whipping post.

His date of birth is approximate and is based on an affidavit concerning delivery of pork to Jamestown which states his age as "44 years or thereabouts". This was probably a visual estimate of a Clerk of the Court rather than based on his own oral evidence.

As suggested by the comparatively late date of the Court records relating to his two younger sons, it is not improbable that he was married twice, and that Margaret was his second wife. John Payne had the following children--Richard, John, William and George. It is believed that he had also one or more daughters; but since his will cannot be found, although it is recorded that he made one, it is practically impossible to identify any such daughters.

(Medical):Y DNA Results, FTDNA Haplogroup:

R1b1

A direct male descendant volunteered to have his DNA tested. The results can be found at www.ysearch.org, under the user ID #B3C9R, and the FamilyTreeDNA Kit number is 48173.

More information can be found at the following website, part of the PAYNE DNA, which can be found at the following URL:

The kit was #48173, and this Payne group was assigned to lineage 16.

The members of R1b are believed to be the descendants of the first modern humans who entered Europe about 35,000-40,000 years ago. Those R1b forebearers were the people who painted the beautiful art in the caves in Spain and France. They were the contemporaries (and perhaps exterminators) of the European Neanderthals. R1b is the most common Y haplogroup in Europe - more than half of men of European descent belong to R1b. Fourteen of the 30 most common haplotypes in the YSTR.org database are typical of R1b.

John married Margaret ???. Margaret was born about 1619; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
