William Payne

Notes:

He was said to be married twice, first to Mary Jones and second to Mary Ball.

He left a Will dated 18 Nov 1769 (3 May 1770) in which he desired that his estate be kept together in order to raise his children by his "now present wife Mary." The will neames his dau. Lettice and his youngest son Lewis, and appoints his wife Mary and son William as executors. It was witnessed by George CURTIS and Thomas PAYNE. On presentation of the will, the son WIlliam refused to take part in its execution. 1711 his father's will did not name him nor leave him any part of his land. 1713 Thomas PACE stated to the Court that Thomas, William and Jane PAYNE, orphans of GEORGE PAYNE, had been under his care since the death of their father and that profits of their part of his estate were so small that they would not maintain them; whereupon the Court ordered them to serve Mr. PACE--Thomas and William until they were 21, and Jane until she attained the age usual for girls in such a case; that Mr. PACE teach them to read and write and some handicraft; and that at the expiration of their service said PACE pay them as required by law of indentured servants. 1715 he was bound to William JENNINGS until 21 to be taught the trade of carpenter and to read the Bible through; and at expiration of his time he was to be paid what the law allowed indentured servants. 1727 he was paid by the Court for capturing a runaway negro. 1732 he signed a statement that he had married Mary JONES and had received full share of her father's estate. (Payne, pp. 373-374).

It has not been possible to discover that number and names of all of William PAYNE's children; his lease and his will name only five of them, while the latter implies that there were several unnamed minors. For correspondence, and Court records, and private family histories it has been determined that he had a least 8 sons and 4 daughters. (Payne, p 375).

William married Mary Jones before 1732 in King George County, Virginia. Mary was born before 1712; died before 1750. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

31 Aug 1832 he made a statement before the Justices of Fq. Co. in connection with his pension application in which he stated that he was b. 11 Dec 1762 (sic) in Fq. Co. These pension records contain transcripts for his Prayer Book, in which entries were made by James Wood of Fq. Co., a school-teacher and near neighbor of Augustine Payne's. The Prayer Book gave his birth 11 Dec 1761 and recorded the birth of his 11 children. He was a Presbyterian. These records also contain his widow's statement that she was m. in Cu.

He enlisted in Fq. Co. in the Revolutionary service Nov 1780 and served till 31 May 1781. 1807 he and his wife were living in Cu. Co. This residence seems to have been temporary. Prior thereto and thereafter till he left Fq.
