Notes:

John was omitted under his father's will. In the final distribution of his father's estate, it was noted that the children of "ONE OF THE OMITTED CHILDREN OF LEE B. PAYNE, were heirs under the Will of Lee B. Payne , herein, the same being Michael Payne, Mary Ellen Payne and Patrick Payne. THAT THE TWO OMITTED CHILDREN OF LEE B. PAYNE, DECEASED TESTATOR HEREIN, WERE JOHN EARL PAYNE AND HENRY LEE PAYNE, who entered this probate matter and voluntarily signed Disclaimer and Renunciation of Interest hereing in the entire estate of Lee B. Payne......"

However, it was not noted which of these two brother's was the father of the Michael, Mary Ellen, and Patrick Payne.

The following SSDI record is likely his:
JOHN E PAYNE 21 Dec 1917 06 Jul 2002 (P) (72) (none specified) 443-16-5923 Oklahoma

Notes:

Henry was omitted under his father's will. In the final distribution of his father's estate, it was noted that the children of "ONE OF THE OMITTED CHILDREN OF LEE B. PAYNE, were heirs under the Will of Lee B. Payne , herein, the same being Michael Payne, Mary Ellen Payne and Patrick Payne. THAT THE TWO OMITTED CHILDREN OF LEE B. PAYNE, DECEASED TESTATOR HEREIN, WERE JOHN EARL PAYNE AND HENRY LEE PAYNE, who entered this probate matter and voluntarily signed Disclaimer and Renunciation of Interest hereing in the entire estate of Lee B. Payne......"

However, it was not noted which of these two brother's was the father of the Michael, Mary Ellen, and Patrick Payne.

Notes:

Her father's will notes that "Hattie Mildred Moore, who predeceased her father, the said Lee B. Payne, herein. That the children of Hattie Mildred Moore, deceased daughter of Lee B. Payne were heirs under the terms of the Will of said Lee B. Payne, the same being John Lee McWhorter and Kay Denise Shaw."

It appears from this that Hattie may have been married at least three times: to a McWhorter, a Shaw and a Moore. Note that at the time of her grandmother's death (Hattie Brown) she was listed a Hattie Shaw, and living with her was daughter Kay Denise Shaw. She was instead listed as Hattie Moore at the time of her father's death a short time later.
