Notes:

"The inventory of the estate of Abigail Payne, deceased, was recorded May 1822 in Fx. Co. (Fairfax County, Virginia) Her administrator was her son Sanford Payne, Jr. He was allowed payment for her board from 1808 to 1820." (Payne, p 239)

Notes:

Married:
Kentucky Historical Society, "Genealogies of Kentucky Families: Vol. O-Y" (Baltimore Gen. Publ.-1981) makes the errorneous statement that "their daughter Dolly, married James Madison, President of the United States; another daughter married John G. Jackson, from who descended Stonewall Jackson, the famous Confederate General."

Dolly Madison was a Payne by birth, but not a daughter of Sanford and Abigail (Lay) Payne. As is noted below:

"She always called herself Dolley, and by that name the New Garden Monthly Meeting of the Society of Friends, in Piedmont, North Carolina, recorded her birth to John and Mary Coles Payne, settlers from Virginia. In 1769 John Payne took his family back to his home colony, and in 1783 he moved them to Philadelphia, city of the Quakers. Dolley grew up in the strict discipline of the Society, but nothing muted her happy personality and her warm heart."

In searching various internet biographies of Gen. Stonewall Jackson, I was not able to find evidence to support this either.

Notes:

His will dated 20 June 1769 (16 Sept 1776) named his sons in the order William, Edward, Sanford, and John, and mentions his wife and daughters, but not by name. His wife was to live on the plantation on which he lived if she so chose, otherwise, his son Edward was to possess it. Edward was named as sole executor, and was to have the care and education of testator's son John. (Payne, The PAYNES OF VIRGINIA).
