Jesse Hix

Notes:

Jesse Hicks came to Breckinridge as early as 1810 (sic--actually came between 1817 & 1820), and made a settlement near the present site of Clifton Mills on Sinking Creek, where he opened a blacksmith shop, being one of the first mechanics in that section of the county. He died about 1836(sic). (Ralph Marshall, p 48).

Family/Spouse: Jane Ferrell. Jane was born before 1775; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

(Alexander Marshall's) wife, Elizabeth (Hicks) Marshall, daughter of Jesse Hicks, was born in Virginia on May 5, 1793, and died in Breckinridge County June 30, 1864. Ralph Marshall copied this from an article discovered in the summer of 1980 in the Kansas City, Missouri Public Library from the "History of Kentucky, Illustrated 1887 pps. 1072-1073).

Elizabeth married Alexander Marshall on 21 Dec 1810 in Bedford County, Virginia. Alexander (son of Thomas Marshall and Nancy Ann Oliver) was born on 23 Mar 1790 in Anne-Arundel County, Maryland; died on 6 Jan 1867 in Hardinsburg, Breckinridge County, Kentucky; was buried in Marshall Cemetery, Breckinridge County, Kentucky.

OBITUARY

MARSHALL-In this city after a short illness, on the 25th inst., Mrs. Hannah S. Marshall, wife of Samuel Marshall, aged 77 years 5 months and 18 days.

"And I heard a voice from Heaven saying unto me, write, 'Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth." Yea, saith the Lord, Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors."

Hannah S. Hicks was born in Campbell county, VA., December 7th, 1797. Was married to Samuel Marshall, March 26th, 1817; moved to Breckenridge county, Ky., in 1821; joined the Methodist Church in 1822; came to Lewis county, Mo., in 1835, and died April 25th, 1875, having lived with her now bereaved husband more than 58 years, and she was a member of the Methodist Church 53 years.

Such is the brief history of an eventful life of love and piety. She was loved by her neighbors. Her children grew up to call her blessed; h husband, also; and he praiseth her. Of course she dies well, leaving the blessed evidence behind that God was with her.

"What fullness of rapture is there,
While Jesus His glory displays?
And purples the heavenly air,
And scatters the odors of grace."

May God bind up the wounded hearts that are left behind, for our mother '"Sleeps in Jesus' blessed sleep, From which none ever wake to weep." BY J. J. POAGE.

The clan of Ulrike (German for Mistress of All) is not among the original "Seven Daughters of Eve" clans, but with just under 2% of Europeans among its members, it has a claim to being included among the numerically important clans. Ulrike lived about 18,000 years ago in the cold refuges of the Ukraine at the northern limits of human habitation. Though Ulrike's descendants are nowhere common, the clan is found today mainly in the east and north of Europe with particularly high concentrations in Scandinavia and the Baltic states.

Notes:

Excerpt of article, transcribed by Ralph Marshall, about Junius Marshall:

To Alexander and Elizabeth Marshall were born twelve children, only four of whom are now living: Edwin, Jane, Emily and Junius S. The last named was born in Breckinridge County April 18, 1834. He was educated in the common schools of the country, which he attended at intervals until his twenty-first year, but by far the greater part of his education has been obtained in later life, as he has always been a ready and practical observer. He took charge of the home place after reaching his majority, looking after his parents' interests in the meantime, and in 1862 purchased the farm of his father, and since resided upon the same. Mr. Marshall's home, which is one of the best in the vicinity of Hardinsburg, consists of 350 acres of good land, one mile and a half south of town, on the Hartford road, and is well improved and under succesful cultivation. Mr. Marshall has been a very successful farmer, and is in every respect a true type of the quiet, law abiding, country gentleman. He married, July 22, 1863, Artemissa, daughter of Robert and Nancy (Scott) Payne. Mrs. Marshall was born in Breckinridge County on December 18, 1844. Mr. and Mrs. Marshall are the parents of the following children: Nannie, Lizzie, Lucy (deceased), Thomas E., Emily F. (deceased), Willie, Samuel, Humphrey, Robert A., Mary, and Idah. Mr. Marshall is a Democrat in politics; belongs to the Masonic fraternity, and is an active member of the Methodist Church. He and his wife belong to the Oakland congregation. Ralph Marshall copied this from an article discovered in the summer of 1980 in the Kansas City, Missouri Public Library from the "History of Kentucky, Illustrated 1887 pps. 1072-1073."

Notes:

Ken Harvey cites Lewis County, Missouri Marriage Book 1, Page 77, and shows that Cinderella was married on 15 Aug 1839 to Frederick Keenaash (1815-1845), and shows their children as Mary (1840-1847), Lavinia (1842-1845), and Catherine (1845-1847).

He also indicates that her husband and three children died in the space of two years and seven months. She returned home to live with her parents. She lived with her parents in the 1850 (H/Cinderilia KENOSH) 1860 (Cinderella F. Marshall) and 1870 census (Cardwell (sic) KEENOSH). She died at the age of 57 years and eleven months.

Notes:

Tabitha is not listed in Ralph Marshall's book DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS MARSHALL BEDFORD COUNTY, VIRGINIA. He instead speculates, from circumstatial evidence, that Samuel and Hannah's second daughter may have actually been named Theodosia Marshall of neighboring Marion County, Kentucky.

Notes:

Listed on the 1850 Missouri census as a carpenter in LaGrange. In 1860, Winfield and family were farming near LaGrange, probably living on his parents farm as Samuel had retired to LaGrange by then. Somewhere around 1868 Winfield moved farther west in Lewis County to Salem Township with a LaBelle address. He was buried in the Asbury Chapel Cemetery (Ralph Marshall, p 28).

Winfield married Mary A. Peake on 6 Dec 1853 in Marion County, Missouri. Mary was born on 29 Sep 1832 in Jessamine County, Kentucky; died on 6 Jan 1913 in Missouri; was buried in LaBelle Cemetery, La Belle, Lewis County, Missouri. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

In THE PAYNES OF VIRGINIA by Brooke Payne, it is noted that she is the daughter of "Silas Marshall of Lagrange, Mo." This is not correct, Silas is actually her brother.

Following marriage in about 1844, the young couple were living next door to Martha's parents in Lewis Co., Missouri.

Fay Payne Yeager found the family on the 1850 census is Lewis County, Missouri.

Dorothy (known as Dotty Bob) Thompson has a Marshall family bible that may have information in it.

Her tombstone in Marlow Cemetery gives her date of birth as 27 Mar 1827; that is exactly one year after what family records show as her her actual birthdate. It is possible that the tombstone is incorrect.

She was 74 at the time of her death, and had been living with her youngest son, Walter and his wife Gertrude at the time of the 1900 census, taken a few months prior to her death.

Martha married Thomas Hamilton Payne on 5 Aug 1843 in Clark County, Missouri. Thomas (son of William C. Payne and Sarah "Sally" Hamilton) was born on 27 Jan 1819 in Bourbon County, Kentucky; died on 14 Sep 1884 in Montague, Montague County, Texas; was buried in Sep 1884 in Montague Cemetery, Montague, Montague County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

"Mrs Porter of Clarence, Missouri. . . had resided in Clarence since 1870, coming here from Lewis county. Here they reared a family of three boys [and one daughter]."

Harriet married John Piercel Porter on 11 Jan 1849 in Lewis County, Missouri. John was born on 12 Feb 1821 in Kentucky; died on 16 Apr 1904 in Shelby County, Missouri; was buried in Maplewood Cemetery, Clarence, Shelby County, Missouri. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Shown in 1850 as a 19 year old store clerk in LaGrange. In 1860, Silas was listed as a merchant with real estate of $2,300 and personal property of $10,000. Deed records at Monticello, Missouri show that Silas disposed of his LaGrange interests in October 1870 and May 1871. The final transaction may have been executed during a visit to Lewis county prompted by the death of his brother Winfield in March of 1871. (Ralph Marshall, p 29).

In 1880 and 1900 he can be found in Pulaski County, Arkansas with his family. His occupation was shown as insurance agent on both census enumerations.

He can not be located on the 1910 Census. His sister, Caladonia, who had lived with the family at the time of the prior two census enumerations had moved to Oklahoma, and was living with her niece, Sarah Elizabeth Payne O'Neill. Presumably Silas had moved to California, as the March, 1913 obituary for his sister Caladonia states "the death of a brother in California the week previous caused a nervous shock which hastened the ravages of [her] disease." Her only other brother, Winfield, had died in 1871.

Obituary from the Duncan Banner Friday, March 7, 1913
(Courtesy of Lynell Cordell)

Miss Callie Marshall Dead, Cousin to Vice-President

Miss Callie Marshall, aged 77 years, died at the home of Mr. John O'Neill in this city Sunday morning and the remains were shipped to LaGrange, Mo., for interment. She had been in fairly good health, but the death of a brother in California the week previous caused a nervous shock which hastened the ravages of disease.

Miss Marshall had been a resident of Duncan some time. She was an aunt of Mrs. O'Neill and an own cousin to Vice-President Marshall, besides being well connected in other respects. Though known to only a few people in Duncan, she had their esteem and love and her death came as a severe blow. The Banner joins in the universal expressions of sympathy in the death of this good woman.

(Immediately below the obituary appeared the following brief article:)

Quincy, Ill., March 5.--At almost the same time that Vice President Thomas R. Marshall was inaugurated Tuesday, funeral services were conducted for one of his relatives at LaGrange, Mo. ten miles north of here, the boyhood home of Mr. Marshall. It was the funeral of Miss Callie Marshall, 77 years old, a cousin who died at Duncan, Okla. last Saturday.

NOTE: Death Certificate #2553 said death was due to acute indigestion. Bird O'Neill was informant on death certificate.

Notes:

Known as Mrs Lizzie L Clarkson she died at her home on South Williams Street, Moberly. No children mentioned. Her husband and sister Callie Marshall were living with her.

Notes:

Could she have been listed as Harriett C Payne 2 F Mo on the 1850 census, born ca 1848?

On a transcript of the 1860 Shelby County census, there is a 3 year old Catherine J Pain listed, which means she would have been born ca. 1857. According to the 1880 census, she was age 28, which means she would have been born closer to 1852. This would make her only 10 years younger than her husband, not 15. Is is likely that the 1860 listing for Catherine was actually for younger sister, Caladonia.

Catherine and her husband, Tom Joyner, are the first of her family to move to Texas. They arrive in Hardeman County in the spring of 1879. In a biography of her brother-in-law, John O'Neill, she was referenced as "Harriett Katherine, who now lived in Idaho...widow of the late Thomas Joiner, a farmer..."

Harriett married G. Thomas Joiner on 17 Nov 1869 in Shelby County, Missouri. G. was born on 25 Aug 1841 in Shelby County, Missouri; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

His obituary, as it appeared in the Marlow Review, Thursday, June 22, 1916.

Obituary of Samuel M. Payne

Born March 11, 1849 in Marion County, MO. Was married to Miss Olive McClanahan in August, 1873. To this union was born six children, two of whom are dead. His wife died five years ago. About six months ago he was united in marriage to Mrs. Hollingsworth of Duncan, Oklahoma. At this time he is survived by three sons, Marvin Payne of Chickasha, Frank Payne of Wichita Falls, Texas, and Aubrey Payne, Davidson, Okla., and one daughter, Mrs. H.P Haycraft of this city.

Mr. Payne was not a member of any church or lodge but he was a good man in every respect. He believed in good morals. He strictly believed in the "Golden Rule" "Do unto others as you would be done by." He believed in a supreme being and a higher power and universal salvation. He was a most devoted husband and father.

He was just a human being subject to the frailities of the flesh. If he made any mistakes we have forgotten them and if he has any accounting to make for the life he lived, he will make it to the Judge of all the earth who doeth all things well and will judge with justice and mercy.

(Courtesy of Lynell Gentry Cordell)

In a biography of his brother-in-law, John O'Neill, he was referenced as "Samuel, who lives on a farm near Marlow, Oklahoma."


The following biography of Samuel Marshall Payne was written by Ken Harvey:

Migrated to Texas on Texan Road (Hwy 69) with his parents and all his brothers and sisters after the Civil War, in abt. 1878. He would have been twenty-nine years old. Initially they all lived in a dugout.

See "Down the Texas Road" by Grant Foreman (1936) HISTORIC TRACES ALONG HIGHWAY 69 THROUGH OKLAHOMA Univ. of Oklahoma, Norman Press for general reference

In appearance he had a red beard and was of slender build. He had a weakness for fast horses which was perhaps encouraged by his contact with the Commanches out west. After all he needed speed to get away from them. He used to stride about the racecourse with tears in his eyes, such was his involvement in racing. He was quite an emotional man.

He cowboyed for many years in Texas and never considered that he worked for anyone in his life. It was a hard life. He and Ollie once found a man who had been skinned alive by the Indians while going somewhere with a wagon. He never knew if the victim was a whiteman or an Indian. They took him into town but he was dead on arrival.

On one occasion he found it necessary to hide in a plum thicket from Indians he had inadvertently come across. He stood there holding his horses nose to stop it whinnying. He was very fortunate with the wind direction as the scent of his mount was not carried to the Indian horses. The Indians would either have been in the area horse stealing or on the war path. It didn't really matter as the result for Samuel, if discovered, would probably have been the same.

1880 - His younger sister, L[ouise] C. Payne (b. 1863), stayed with his young family in Cooke County, Texas. She was "teaching school" at the time in 1880 according to the census.

1893 - While in living in Texas, Sam came to Oklahoma for the Land Run. He arrived for the opening of the Cherokee Strip in 1893. He came prepared with a wagon and team in order to ride with a lightweight racing saddle on his accompanying thoroughbred horse. He wore light boots and a cap with the bill turned backwards. He said he didn't want to look like a cowboy-he just wanted maximum speed. He found the land he wanted as he knew the area well from his droving days. He immediately placed his claim. After he got to the land office he sold the 160 acres he was now entitled to. The claim, which never had his name registered, was located near Enid and he was to say he made more money in that single transaction than he could have done in one whole year of being a cowboy.

In 1893 a Payne family group studio photograph was taken, probably in Quanah. It shows left to right; Samuel Marshall Payne (44) seated, Effie Mae (10) standing, C. Frank (18) seated, Aubrey Hamilton (16) standing rear, Samuel E. (14) standing forground, Marvin Walter (12) standing rear and Olivia McClanahan Payne (49) seated. Sam never grew any more. Lewis Payne has a copy of this photograph and the original is thought to have been with his sister Mary Olive and hence passed on to Dorothy Thompson. Another original is the property of Mary Ann Mounts Payne.

1895-He was the original entryman to 160 acres in Stephens County; the North-East quarter of section thirty-five in township two, [north of] range eight, west [of the Indian Meridian]. It is located about four miles outside Marlow. Sam and his family settled there, beside Hell Creek.

1900-The census shows the Sam Payne family living in Hardeman County, Texas.

1901-Samuel was described by his brother Walter W. Payne as the original entryman to 160 acres in Stephens County, Oklahoma. This land being the north-east quarter of Section thirty-five, township tow [Rock Creek, north of] Range eight (8) west [of the Indian Meridian. This farm was located about four miles outside Marlow]. This grant of land "was established and duly consumated" to Samuel M. Payne on 17 March 1920 by the signature of President Woodrow Wilson in line with the act to secure homesteads on the public domain.

1910 - Later Samuel purchased a farm about four miles outside Marlow, OK and in 1910 he was listed as living there in Rock Creek Township with his wife Ollie, his married son Marvin, his wife Grace and their child, his grandson, Chadwick. There were also two hired men and a cousin?, Lizzie Pictria (19), in the household. Ollie died in April of 1910 and Samuel became a widower.

1914-A sepia toned photograph is taken of Samuel in front of his house. The photograph includes (l to r) his son Marvin, Samuel, daughter Effie and her husband Hugh S. Haycraft.

In an Affidavit of Heirship of Samuel M. Payne who died intestate, Walter W. Payne stated that "...sometime during the year of 1915 he [Samue M. Payne] again married one Leona Hollingsworth." The couple are later listed as possessing one brown mare name Dolly, one sorrel mare names Bell and one whitefaced cow named Mott and her calf. "To this union no children were born and it is my understanding that she [Leona Hollingsworth] has given a deed of conveyance to any interest that she might have had in the estate of my deceased brother."

1916-Joe Payne of Knoxville records that Samuel died and was buried in Quanah, Texas. This is incorrect. Records from the Marlow Funeral Home instead indicate that he died at his residence in Marlow. His funeral was paid for by his son, Marvin Payne, a few months after the funeral.

He was buried in the Marlow Cemetery, Section 10, Block 10, Plot 5.

HISTORY OF THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA, Vol. 2, pp. 250-25l

By Luther B. Hill, A.B., The Lewis Publishing Co., Chicago & New York, 1908

William H. Payne. One of the strong personal factors in the upbuilding of the town of Marlow, has been William H. Payne, whose career has been closely connected with this section of the old Chickasaw Nation and Oklahoma for a quarter of a century. In the town itself, since it was started, he has shown ample confidence and has invested his capital in enterprises that further the welfare of the place. He was the first president of the Bank of Marlow, and is the principal factor in the recently organized Payne Lumber Company. He has also erected a business house and two dwellings in the town.

Mr. Payne's career has not been monotonous nor without interesting change from boyhood to the present. Born in Shelby county, Missouri, April 1, 1851, he grew up through boyhood with educational advantages that resulted from the primitive surroundings of that time and locality. After his sixteenth year he began hiring out for farm work, and turned most of his wages over to his parents, as was the old custom. He lived at home until he was about twenty-five, and then, with team and wagon, pioneered his way to Texas, crossing Red river at Delaware Bend and making his first stop at Loren's ranch in Cooke county. He rented some land of Loren and made a corn and cotton crop, but from 1879 on for several years he followed the cattle trail as a cowboy, and in this occupation first went over the ground in the vicinity of the present town of Duncan. After his marriage he located on a farm in Montague county, Texas, and began housekeeping with an extremely limited equipment. From Montague county he moved into the Chickasaw Nation, and at Velma built up his interests both as farmer and stockman. Five years later he brought his home and business to the vicinity of Marlow, where he has since remained. At this writing he still has a lease and runs some five hundred head of cattle, but it is his intention to close this part of his career and continue along quieter lines of activity. With the opening of the Comanche country Mr. Payne got a claim in what is now Tillman county, and while his family lived there to prove it up, he continued his stock business in the Indian Territory, and without neglecting business finally secured a patent to his land. In addition he has purchased some six hundred acres in the same vicinity, and eight or ten tenants are engaged in the improvement and labor of production on his large farm.

Mr. Payne's personal history connects him with the south. Though he was born in Missouri, his grandfather, William C. Payne, was a native of Loudoun county, Virginia, and had lived a time in Kentucky before moving the family to Missouri. The Paynes were established in Shelby county as early as 1833, and there the grandfather finished his life, passing away in 1865, at seventy-six. His wife was Sarah Hamilton, who also died in Missouri, and their children were: William, who died in Shelby county; Thomas H., father of the Marlow citizen above mentioned; Levi N., who died at Shelbyville, Missouri. Thomas H. Payne, living in a new country and without much assistance from home, gained his schooling in a log cabin and had only a small amount of the world's culture. He became a plain, honest citizen, and a man of worth wherever he lived. During the war he served with the militia in defense of the Union. The last years of his life were spent in Texas, where he died in 1882. He was an active man in the Democratic party. He married Martha Marshall, whose father, Sam M. Marshall, was a Virginian who had first moved to Kentucky and then to Missouri. Martha Payne died at Marlow, Oklahoma, in 1904, having reared a family of ten children, namely: Elizabeth, wife of John O'Neil, of Duncan; Kate, wife of Thomas Joyner, of Oklahoma; Samuel M., of Stephens county; William H., whose career has been sketched; Winfield, near Red Moon, Oklahoma; Levi N., of Wewoka, Oklahoma; Josephine, wife of L. F. McClannahan, of Duncan; Lula, wife of Allison Scott, of Duncan; Thomas B., who died at Duncan, leaving four children; and Walter W., of Duncan.

William H. Payne married, in 1882, Mrs. Hattie A. Long. Her parents were John B. Brown and Adaline Trowbridge, Vermont people, whose other children were: John B., of California; Irene, wife of H. M. Case; Hiram, who died at Velma, Oklahoma; Hale J., of Los Angeles, California; and Joseph R., of Montrose, Colorado. Mrs. Payne was born at Quincy, Illinois, July 28, 1859, and by her first marriage has a son, Ed. H. Long, of Fort Worth, who married Myrtle Payne and has a son, Willie Virgil. Mr. And Mrs. Payne have two children, Joseph R. and Lee B.

From the notes of Ken Harvey:

1910 - Living in Wall Township (Marlow area) of Stephens Co., Oklahoma in 1910. They had a house servant, Pearl Ice (20).

William H. Payne donated a plot of land for the Marlow cemetery. One section was reserved for the Paynes. This Payne section was not large enough and is now full.

Charles Strong found the following obituary at the Oklahoma State Archives:

14 December 1917 DUNCAN BANNER

"Died

News of the death of Uncle Bill Payne, which occurred at home in Marlow Tuesday, came as a shock to numerous friends in Duncan. Death came suddenly and unexpectedly, he being in comparatively good health up to the time of his death.

Mr. Payne was one of the pioneer citizens of this country. He was a man well liked by all, a successful ranchman and business man, and his death has occasioned universal sorrow. He was a brother of W.W. Payne of this city, besides has many other relatives throughout this section.

Funeral services were held Marlow Wednesday, many friends paying a last mark of respect to deceased."

An obituary, found by Lynell Gentry Cordell, was also published in the Marlow Review on Thursday, December 13, 1917.

W.H. Payne Passed Away Monday Even'g

In the passing of William H. Payne, Marlow loses one of her pioneer citizens, a man of sterling worth and unblemished character. Mr. Payne was identified with the financial and executive interest of Marlow for many years. He was regarded with high esteem by all who knew him, and most by those who knew him best. Large in body, mind and heart, he lived daily the life of clean morals and justice. He was remarkably free from the petty quarrels and smallness that mar so many lives. Born in Shelbyville, Shelby county, Missouri, April 1, 1851, he grew to early manhood in the atmosphere of Kentucky hospitality and courtesy that makes northwest Missouri famous. At the age of 21 years he was identified with the Christian church of that place and never discarded the great moral principle of that faith. In the early days he moved to the country at a time when law and life were matters of little concern. In spite of thse enviroments he lived the hardy life of the pioneers and reared his family and built his home that is a credit to the community and worth of his service.

After some illness, he passed away on the 10th day of December, 1917, at his home surrounded by his loved ones whos knew him best and realized the full measure of his loss to them. He lived to the ripe age of 66 years, 8 months, and 9 days and was laid to rest in the cemetery at Marlow, Oklahoma.

His wife and children receive the unstinted sympathy of the entire community in their hour of sorrow, and his presence is missed by all. He died like he lived, free from emnity and bitterness.

The funeral service was held in his home at 3 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 11, 1917, conducted by Elder E. L. Kirtley and his lifelong friends Dr. P. L. Montgomery, T. L. Rose (?), C. Smyth....(remaining names illegible).

In a biography of his brother-in-law, John O'Neill, he was referenced as "William, a farmer at Marlow."

William married Harriet "Hattie" Adaline Brown on 11 Aug 1883 in Montague, Montague County, Texas. Harriet (daughter of John Burns Brown and Adeline Regina Trowbridge) was born on 28 Jul 1859 in Quincy, Adams County, Illinois; died on 12 Jun 1956 in Marlow, Stephens County, Oklahoma; was buried on 14 Jun 1956 in Marlow Cemetery, Marlow, Stephens County, Oklahoma. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Ken Harvey notes that "he was recorded on the 1870 Shelby County, Missouri census and shown as age 17, making his year of birth approximately 1853. He went by the name Scott, and was named after the Civil War General Winfield Scott.

In 1880, he was in Montague, Texas, with his wife and step-children.

A W. C. Payne was recorded, in Montague County Courthouse Marriage Book B, page 471, as marrying Nora Popejoy on 24 Nov. 1887. This could well be our Winfield Scott Payne. The initial "C." could be an error for "S." This ceremony was conducted by J. F. Shelton, Minister of the Gospel. If this is our Scott Payne, it would have been a second marriage. The 1900 census shows him as the father of two children born between 1876 and 1879. Their names are unknown. Lewis Payne vaguely recalled that Scott's wife was named Lou. Kenneth Harvey shows he remarried circa 1894 to Alice (Unknown), born circa 1852 in Texas.

Around 1889, the family moved North to Indian Territory. Scott's wife probably died soon therafter (deduced by Ken Harvey based on the 1900 I.T. census)."

In a biography of his brother, William Henry Harrison Payne, he was referenced as "Winfield, near Red Moon, Oklahoma." In another biography, this one of his brother-in-law, John O'Neill, he was referenced as "Winifred (sic), at Butler, Oklahoma."

Notes:

In a biography of his brother-in-law, John O'Neill, he was referenced as "Newton, a farmer near Wewoka, Oklahoma."

When she was around six year old, ca 1918-1919, Roonie recalls going from her father's ranch to the big Payne farm, over the hill about 1/2 a mile away. When they arrived, Levi Newton Payne and his family were in two covered wagons starting a trip to Arizona. Her parents had gone to the farm to say their goodbyes. She remembered that one of the young children appeared to be retarded/disabled in some way. The family remained in Arizona, which is where Levi Newton died around 1932. (This story was told to Charles Strong by his mother around 1990).

In the copy of the Will of William H. Payne, he lists Levi as recieving $400. Levi was taught to read by his wife Lizzie, a school teacher. Levi Newton was in the 1889 run and got land near Oklahoma City, but traded it for a horse. (Source: Cova Jean Williams).

He died from acute angina pectoris on December 3, 1932. The informant was F.L. (Fred Lee) Payne. The undertaker was M.L. Gibbons. he was recorded as 76 years, 4 months and 1 day old. (From his death certificate filed in Arizona). A memorial stone was erected over his grave in 1988.

Sarah (daughter of Enoch Cox McClanahan and Andromache "America" "Mackey" Mills) was born on 8 Jun 1849 in Schuyler County, Missouri; died on 21 Jan 1921 in Cruce, Stephens County, Oklahoma. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Not on Brooke Payne's list of the children of Thomas Hamilton Payne and Martha Jane Marshall. However, in the 1908 biography of her brother, William H.H. Payne, cited the children of Thomas Hamilton Payne as: "Elizabeth, wife of John O'Neil, of Duncan; Kate, wife of Thomas Joyner, of Oklahoma; Samuel M., of Stephens county; William H., whose career has been sketched; Winfield, near Red Moon, Oklahoma; Levi N(ewton), of Wewoka, Oklahoma; JOSEPHINE, wife of L. F. McClannahan, of Duncan." In another biography, this one of brother-in-law John O'Neill, she was referenced as "Gallic (sic), wife of Fred McClannahan, a carpenter and builder who lives at Holbrook, Arizona."

On the 1860 census, she was listed as "Pain, Catherine J. 3 F Mo" instead of as Caladonia Josephine. In 1870, she was simply listed as Carrie.

One day Callie commented, after hearing a story told by her grand-nephew Lewis Adair Payne, that she would "have to tell [Vice-President] Marshall about this!" Ken Harvey was not sure if this was a true story, of just Callie being playful with Lewis. It appears, however, that Vice President Thomas Riley Marshall was indeed a second cousin of Caldonia and her siblings.

Ken also writes that it was understood that three McClanahans (Olivia's siblings) married three Paynes (Samuel's siblings) in this generation.

Ken thinks her children went to Quanah High School, and that she dies in Quanah. However, as they lived in Oklahoma in 1900, and Arizona in 1910, this may not be correct.

Caldonia married Lafayette Fred McClanahan on 4 Aug 1878 in Shelby County, Missouri. Lafayette (son of Enoch Cox McClanahan and Andromache "America" "Mackey" Mills) was born on 7 Aug 1852 in Schuyler County, Missouri; died about 1924 in Arizona; was buried in Holbrook Cemetery, Holbrook, Navajo County, Arizona. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Not on Brooke Payne's list of the children of Thomas Hamilton Payne and Martha Jane Marshall.

1880 - An "L. C. Payne" was recorded living with her married brother, Samuel Marshall Payne, in Cooke Co., Texas on 7 June 1880 where she was listed as [teaching school] at the age of 19.

In this census reference to L. C. Payne the age is unclear, and could have been 17 years.

1884 - On her marriage certificate in Montague County Courthouse Marriage Book B, page 183, her name is spelled Lula Payne. The ceremony was conducted by W. E. Wilson, Ordained Minister.

In biography of her brother William Henry Harrison Payne, she is listed as "Lula, wife of Allison Scott, of Duncan."In another biography, this one of her brother-in-law, John O'Neill, she was referenced as "Lulu, wife of Allison Scott, a retired railroad man at Fort Worth, Texas."

In his Personal Journal, Lewis Adair Payne wrote on March 21, 1936: "Martha [Scott], Marie [Scott], and Florence [Scott] came back out for an hour or so, I then went with them to Aunt Hatties [Payne nee Brown] to get Aunt Lou [Scott nee Payne]. Then to Duncan. Dinner at Bessies. They home and I to the airport."

Notes:

The 1890 Chickasaw Census showed: Payne, T B & Wife Husband's Age 26 Wife's Age 19 She was listed as Chickasaw by blood, and he was shown as Chickasaw by marriage.

Fay Yeager cites "Indian Pioneer History" volume 40 as saying "Thomas Payne was deputy Marshall of Ardmore 1891-1892." Ardmore is in Carter County, adjoining Stephens County.

On the 1896 Chickasaw Census Roll for Pickens County, Velma Township, Indian Territory, Thomas B Payne is shown as a 34 year old male, with his tribal enrollment taking place in 1897 in Pickens County (No. 77). He was shown as the son of Thomas H. Payne and Martha J. Payne, both noncitizens. His son, Thomas H. Payne, is shown as being 5 years old, 1/32 Chickasaw by blood, with a tribal enrollment also in Pickens County (No. 20), and shown as the son of Thomas B. Payne and Mollie Payne (deceased), a resident of Pickens County.

An unnamed baby, a child of Thomas Payne, is buried (undated) in Section 9, Block 15, Plot 7, Marlow Cemetery, Oklahoma. It is not known if it was a boy or girl. Could this have been a child of Thomas and Molly? The three of them are buried side by side.

Abstracts from the Duncan Eagle Vol. 12, 11 Oct. 1906. Local Mention:

Mr. & Mrs. Rufe Deck came down from Chickasha to attend the funeral of Tom Payne who died this morning at 6.

Died this morning at the residence of John O'Neill, Tom Payne, after a long and lingering illness like consumption. He owned a fine farm near Arthur where he lived with his family. He leaves a wife & 4 children, the oldest, a son who is attending school in Decatur, TX. He will be buried in the Marlow Cemetery. He was a bro. to Mrs. John O'Neill, Walter & Wm. Payne of Marlow. (Courtesy of Lynell Cordell).

Charles Strong reports that Thomas Bunker Payne died without a will. He owned some 300 acres of land that he had been alloted as being a Chickasaw by Marriage, so it took some time to settle his estate due to his children being minors. He cites Stephens County OK Probate Case #290. Walter W. Payne was guardian and executor of his estate.

The Marlow Review
October 1907
Monument Unveiled
On Sunday afternoon in the biting wind the Duncan camp W. O. W. unveiled the beautiful monument erected by that order at the grave of Thos. Payne. The attendance was large the weather considered. The beautiful ceremony was carried out by the Duncan camp and a short talk made by G. W. Siever, C. C. of Marlow camp. The monument is imposing being the largest one in the cemetery.

Notes:

Ken Harvey writes that "His middle name has also been shown as Winchell, however Winkle is the middle name shown on this tombstone, and has been verified by Willie Lee Payne.

He ran cattle on land leased from Indian Territory (Oklahoma) Indians. It cost him ten cents an acre. He made a great deal of money out of this. He and his brother-in-law started a bank in Duncan. The checks were yellow and easily spotted in a pile.

In a biography of his brother-in-law, John O'Neill, he was referenced as "Walter, a farmer and rancher at Duncan."

Funeral services were held this Thursday afternoon for Walter W. Payne, pioneer ranchman of this section, who passed away early Wednesday morning. Services were at the First Methodist Church at 2 o'clock, with Rev. J. J. Ward officiating, assisted by Rev. A. P. Johnson.

Burial was in the Marlow Cemetery. Arrangements were in charge of Beeson Grantham.

Mr. Payne had suffered an attack of acute indigestion on Monday. He appeared to recover from this attack but was not feeling in the best of health, and decided to go to Sulphur for treatment. He left Tuesday, accompanied by his daughter, Mrs Jack Benton, and Mr. Benton. He was feeling much better Tuesday evening, and Mr. Benton returned to Duncan. Mrs. Benton remained with her father.

Early Wednesday morning Mr. Payne suffered a second and more serious attack, resulting in his death at 2:30 o'clock. The deceased was born in Missouri, coming to what is now Stephens County when he was 20 years of age. He has since lived most of the time at his ranch 10 miles east and 3 miles north of Duncan.

He was also active in the affairs of this city. He was associated with the late J. D. Wade and J. M. Armstrong in the Duncan National Bank and also served on the city council at an early day. Mr. Payne had been engaged in the raising of beef cattle at his ranch during the past few years. He recently purchased two Hereford bulls that ranked high at the fat stock show at Ft. Worth, said to be two of the finest beef animals ever brought to Stephens County.

Six children, four daughters and two sons, survive. The daughters are Mrs. Ethel Benton of this city; Mrs Hoyt Hardin, 609 Maple Avenue; Mrs Vera Roberts of Oklahoma City; and Mrs. Louise Birnie of Shawnee. The sons are Carl and Dukie Payne, who lived with him on the ranch. There is one brother, Newton Payne, of Chandler, Arizona, and one sister, Mrs. A. Scott, of Ft. Worth. Seven grandchildren also survive. Mr. Payne was a member of the Masonic and Woodmen lodges, and of the Methodist Church.

A more detailed obituary was also published in The Duncan Banner on Friday, March 29, 1929, page 7. This can be seen on his page on familysearch.org, and was posted by Marilyn Simmons.
