William YOST was said to have been the son of George and Betty Yost of Holland. Judy Jones, however, notes that even though this is found in the Payne book; she suspects this may not be accurate. She was, as of July 2009, working on verifying whether or not this was correct. William Yost was the grandfather of her great-grandfather George Thomas Yost. Her Yost's (George, Katherine and children) were in Jessamine Co, KY for a time. They apparently originated from Maryland. It appears that William T. Yost and wife Matilda Payne came from KY to MO with Payne's. Later, several more Yost brothers came into Missouri.

Kathleen Wilham's notes indicate that the Yost family were "Moravians, United Brethern."

William married Matilda Payne on 27 Oct 1831 in Jessamine County, Kentucky. Matilda (daughter of William C. Payne and Sarah "Sally" Hamilton) was born about 1810 in Kentucky; died about 1872 in Marion County, Missouri; was buried in Palmyra, Shelby County, Missouri. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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:

This material has been abstracted from the book "The Paynes of Virginia" by Brooke Payne (pages 260 through 289). Died intestate. In 1787 he was named as one of the executors of his father's will, and as co-guardian of his minor brothers and sisters. The LDS Ancestral files show he was also married to Helen Combs. This appears to be in error. It was actually his brother, Benjamin Payne, who married Helen.

George married Mary Coe in 1783 in Fairfax County, Virginia. Mary was born on 29 Aug 1765 in Fairfax County, Virginia; died in Dec 1820 in Bourbon County, Kentucky. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
