William Payne

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).

Notes:

Died young.

Notes:

"He was five feet, five inches tall, quite slender, not a military man at all, though Washington Irving said that he did more than any other man to keep up the financial end of the army in Virginia."

There was to be a meeting, in the Fall of 1755, in Alexandria, Fairfax County to chose a delegate to represent the county in the House of Burgesses at Williamsburg. As it rained on the particular day appointed Col. George Washington (23), who was just a few month's "flush with the laurels of Braddock's Field," assumed that the meeting would be postponed. Washington's regiment at the time was still at Fort Cumberland. Next day he showed up for the meeting and was outraged that it had in fact gone ahead and that the assembled gentlemen and planters had made a selection without him being present. There was a heated argument between him, representing the losing candidate, and William Payne, representing the successful. In impetous anger the Colonel referred to William Payne as something other than a southern gentleman. The small and slender William (31) instantly took his hickory walking stick and lashed out in the public square. He knocked George Washington down. Washington's officers immediately whipped out their cold irons. Washington stopped any further developments. This settled the matter for the day. Next day Mr Payne received a polite message that Washington wanted to meet him at a certain tavern nearby. He went with the feeling that there was to be a challenge to a duel. Greeting him in a friendly way Washington ushered him to a table at the back where there was a bottle of wine. He apologised for what he had said, saying he had no right to speak like that. William was deeply moved. Where upon the two men drank toasts to each others health and became friends. Some time later William visited Washington's home at Mt. Vernon. Washington introduced his wife, Martha, to the man who, he said, had the courage to attack him even though he, Washington, was a much bigger man." (Excerpted by Ken Harvey from THE PAYNES OF VIRGINIA, based on Parson Weems's "Life of Washington.")

William married Susannah Clark on 3 Feb 1747 in Pohick Church, Truro Parish, Virginia. Susannah was born on 17 Dec 1721 in Prince William County, Virginia; died on 22 Feb 1771. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

In 1755, on an expedition against the Shawnee Indians, Ensign Edward Payne marched with an outfit commanded by Capt. Lewis Elzey to Winchester. Members of the party had enlisted to serve 30 days. No relief arriving at the expiration of that period, some of the officers and enlisted men chose to leave. Among the group that left was Ensign Payne. Therefore a subsequent claim for compensation for this service was rejected. He later served as a Church Warden, Justice of Fairfax County, and Sheriff. In 1782 he was recorded in the Virginia Census as head of a family consisting of 8 whites and 26 blacks.

Col. Edward Payne was a member of the Danville (Ky.) Convention on 23 May 1785. Kentucky was finally separated from Virginia in 1792 after seven such conventions. Edward was a member of the Kentucky Constitutional Convention and Senatorial elector for Fayette County.

Moved to Kentucky in the mid 1780's. He was arrested by Colonel Levi Todd on 6 September 1786 and threatened to be treated as a deserter until he furnished a substitute for his service.

The Magazine of the Kentucky Historical Society refers to him as General John Payne, and states that he commanded Kentucky troops in the first expedition against the Indians in 1812. He was a State Senator from Scott County from 1830-1832.

According to his son, Asa, he died after being thrown from his horse.

Westerfield's book of Kentucky Genealogical and Biographical Sketches states that he was in the Virginia Militia, and present at the surrender of Lord Cornwallis, soon after which he settled in Kentucky; was active in the Indian wars on the frontier; a general in the war of 1812, a State senator, a farmer and large slave holder, and died in 1837.

Notes:

(Payne, p 251). He took at active part in the civil affairs of his State, being a member of the Legislature 1801, 1805, 1817, and 1828. He was State Senator 1807-1811; Presidential elector 1813, 1817, and 1825. 1816 he was Justice of the Peace in Mason co.Collins's HISTORY OF KENTUCKY (says)...'he joined Capt.

Johnson's regiment of mounted rifleman. On 5 Oct 1813 at the Battle of the Thames he charged at the head of his battalion through the British lines; and in company with General Harrison's aides when in pursuit of General Proctor...also said to have distinguished himself at the Battle of River Raisen, Michigan where in January 1813 the Americans suffered an overwhelming defeat by the British and massacre by the Indians."

Notes:

William Payne is said to have served as a Lieutentant in the Revolution. His grand-daughter wrote me that she had often heard her father tell of the visit of a Pension Agent to his mother which she violently refused, saying "My husband did not serve his country for a pension." In 1855 his sons corresponded in an unsuccessul effort to reclaim a military grant of land alongside Bear Grass Creek, where Louisville now stands, which he neglected to survey and register. He was born in the Church of England, and died in Kentucky an ardent Baptist Minister with a record of long service as such, having performed the marriage ceremony of some of his earliest children. (Payne, pps 255-256).

William McClung Paxton, in his book ANNALS OF PLATTE COUNTY, MISSOURI, states that "William Payne was born near Lexington, Kentucky, and was a member of the Baptist Church and was know as 'Parson Payne.' He removed to Mason County, KY, where in my childhood, I often visited his family."

The first record of William in Shelby County, Missouri can be found in the minutes of the March, 1838 term of the circuit court of Shelby County, William Payne was one of a number of people brought up on charges of gaming. This indulgence was in the form of amusement for dull days, but authorities looked upon it as a dangerous practice, also as a means of "stuffing" their pocketbooks and creating a little stir. Bryant Cockrum, George Gentry, William Payne, Isaac Wooley, Elijah Owens and Robert Joiner were all charged with "playing at loo"; Joseph Holeman and Abraham Vandiver, "for playing seven-up"; Elijah Owens, John Ralls, and Abraham Vandiver, "for playing three up"; Wesley Habbiburton and Joseph Holeman were indicted "for permitting gaming in their house." Three of the parties were convicted. George Gentry was fined $2; Isaac Wooley $1, and William Payne $5. The others were acquitted. (HISTORY OF SHELBY COUNTY, p 25).
