    Notes 
    • The earliest recognized court reference to William Payne (b. ca. 1652) is found in Rappahannock County in 1673, when "William Payne, son of Mr. John Payne", recorded the earmark of his cattle---"three slits in each ear, and the middle slit cropt." This refence and the composite of the 17 traditional versions abstracted int he Introduction under the title of Genesis of the Virginia Families, particularly the 6th and 10th, taken in conjunction with the fact that the 1673 reference cannot be made to fit any other William Payne found int he Northern Neck records of this period, and that the McCartys, Lees, Fitzhughs, and Popes continued to be neighbors of or to intermarry with the Paynes of Leedstown and their descendants, are accepted by Brooke Payne as satisfactory proof of the identity of the said William Payne as the son of John Payne. Particularly convincing to the author is the fact, shown by documents referred to in Version 10 and still preserved in the family, that Captain William Payne (b 1755) recognized his relationship to the Paynes of Fairfax County near whom he lived.

      According to the PAYNE'S OF VIRGINIA, William was a merchant, planter, Justice, and probably shipowner. Mr Payne was apparently acquainted in England with merchants whom he represented in Virginia. He was probably the Captain Payne who in 1680 delivered letters from England to Col. William Fitzhugh of Westmorland County.

      His will (dated 31 Jan 1697/8) referred to money that he had on deposit in Newcastle [England].

    Payne, John yDNA of direct male descendant
    Certificate of Y-chromosome DNA testing from The Geneographic Project. Haplogroup R1b is the most common in Western Europe, and are descendants of the Europe's first large-scale human settlers. The marker's frequency is high in northern France and the British Isles where it was carried by descendents who had weathered the Ice Age in Spain.

    The yDNA donor was Paul James Payne of Corpus Christi, now deceased. His line of descent from the immigrant John Payne is as follows:

    John Payne>William Payne>William Payne>Sanford Payne>George Payne>William C. Payne>Thomas Hamilton Payne, I>Walter Winkle Payne>Harry Carl Payne>Paul James Payne
