Linda Miller writes that Scott died when young..."Their mother sent them back to the house from where she was working in the field and they (my dad and Scott) went down into a washed out creek bed and found a kind of sand cave that had been washed out from when the creek flooded. There they started digging. Scott the older one being farther in when it caved in completely covering him. My father dug him out where he could see his face and blood was trickling out of his mouth so he ran for help. The cave-in had killed him instantly by breaking his neck. For years my father spoke of him as if he were younger...... Before my father died I had been doing research and realized Scott was older and told him....what a shocking thing for a young boy of five. |

| 18904 | I6237 | Payne | Sylvia Jeannette | 14 May 1906 | 8 Jun 1991 | 0 | Email from Rick Payne [rapayne@frii.com] to Charles Strong (cstrong832@aol.com) on 10/17/2002: BIOGRAPHICAL TEXT: I was told that Sylvia Couch worked as a telephone operator in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma before and for a little while after she married. She was a strong Christian woman and taught sunday school at church most of her adult life. She was Southern Baptist. She was a farmer/rancher's wife. From 1921 to 1948-49 her father Aubrey Payne lived with her. She never had any children because she and Woodrow were cousins. When she died, she left everything she had to her nieces and nephews. She was a good a decent woman with no real vices. James Avery Couch gave Woodrow & Sylvia the 1/2 acre in Donna, Texas when he and Sylvia were married. It was a real small house. Then after Woodrow and Sylvia went back to Davidson, Oklahoma circa 1932. Sylvia moved to the Couch Farm once owned by her father-in-law. In March James Avery Couch, Woodrow's father died and left him the family farm. In September of 1934 he had to sell the place to pay off debt. They moved back to Hidalgo County. Sylvia and Woodrow had to sell the Couch Family farm in Davidson Oklahoma to pay off bills, so they rented a farm in south Texas in the Rio Grande Valley in the general area of Edinburg and Donna, they would live here until 1939. Near the end of 1939 or very early 1940, Sylvia and her husband Woodrow Wilson Couch moved to a farm in Bailey County Texas, near the city of Muleshoe, in West Texas. Life was very good for them here. They stayed in this area 25 years. In 1952 Woodrow Wilson Couch was elected as a Bailey County Commissioner. They left the county in 1965, going to Clairette, Erath County, Texas. Woodrow was in the Democratic Party when he was a County Commissioner. Clairette, on State Highway 6 some fifteen miles southeast of Stephenville in southeastern Erath County, was established when the Texas Central Railroad was constructed through the area in the early 1880s. The community was named for a popular brand of soap. In 1940 it had 275 residents, five businesses, several churches, and a post office. Changes in agriculture and transportation patterns subsequently reduced the town's prosperity. From 1968 until 1990 its population was estimated at fifty-five. The 1984 county highway map showed a church, a community hall, and three businesses at Clairette. It is due south of Fort Worth. It was here that Sylvia and Woodrow purchased a ranch in 1965. She resided in Sunset, Montague County, Texas 1966. She died in the hospital: Bowie Memorial Hospital of Acute Myocardial Infarction according to Dr. H.Lorain Evans, M.D. Like so many others in our family she is buried in Davidson, Oklahoma at the Davidson cemetery, her funeral was handled by: Burgess-Fry Funeral Home of 201 West Walnut Street in Bowie, Texas. June 11, 1991. She was 85 years old. She was a grand lady and a good person. You would have liked her. |

In 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 the profits from their part of the estate were so small they would not maintain them; upon which the court ordered them to serve said PACE and his present wife. In 1714 he was bound instead ot George WHITE (with the consent of Thomas PACE) until he was twenty-one, said WHITE agreeing to teach Thomas the trade of a carpenter. In 1721 he sold a slave Ginnie to William JENNINGS. 1722 he was paid by the court for guarding prisoners and in the same year was a defendant in a suit by Robert HUGHES. This is his last appearance in records, and nothing is suggested as to what became of him. (Payne, pp. 372, 373). | STR06 |

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.

| 18911 | I154 | Payne | Thomas Hamilton | 27 Jan 1819 | 14 Sep 1884 | 0 | Thomas Hamilton Payne was born 1819 in Kentucky. He was remembered by his family as a great hunter with gun and with hounds. He apparently moved to Missouri sometime before his marriage in 1843. Charles R. Strong and his daughter, Mary Pat Strong, while at the Shelbina Library came across many years of the land tax records for Shelby County from 1836 - 1863. The following information was found on these tax rolls: Year Owner Acres Section Township Range Thomas H. Payne 80 16 59 9 80 16 59 9 40 17 59 9 This family was not listed on the 1860 Ledger of Shelby slave owners. During the Civil War Thomas served in the Union Army. He enlisted with Captian C. Willmott in Shelbyville, Missouri on the 4th of April 1862. His unit in the Union Army was Capt. James W. Lampkin's Company H, 11th Regiment Cavalry, Missouri State Militia Volunteers. Thomas was made corporal. He was described as 6 ft. 2 in, with a light complexion, black hair and blue eyes. According to his service records, "It became evident soon after enlistment that diseases existed rendering the soldier unfit for duty." On June 1, he entered the hospital in Palmyra, Missouri to be treated. He was later moved to a hospital in Macon, Missouri. Thomas was discharged 7 July 1862. Surgeon C.C. Dickinson, who examined Thomas state that he was unfit for service "because of dyspepsia...existing long prior to enlistment. This man has suffered symptons of dypepsia for many years...and was unquestionably unfit for service when he enlisted." However, Thomas's immediate superior Sgt. Brown later testified that "Thomas H. Payne was, to the best of my knowledge, a sound able-bodied man....(and became) disabled in the line of duty by sleeping...in a dank room with open windows (during a period of almost constant rain), by reason of which he contracted asthma and typhoid pneumonia (as did many other soldiers quartered in this room)." This contradictory evidence caused Martha problems as she was trying to receive his service pension; and she had to provide lots of documents in order to eventually receive it. In the book APRIL 1865, Jay Winik notes that "On one level, (Missouri) was the very embodiment of the Civil War itself: a conflict-ridden slave state that didn't secede, a state deeply divided in loyalties, a state with an ill-formed identity. On yet another level, as it descended into full-scale guerilla war, Missouri became a very different creature altogether, less a reflection of what the Civil War was and more a mirror for what the Civil War could become. It became a killing field. Missouri also produced the most bloodthirsty guerillas of the war. Topping the list was Willam Clarke Quantrill, a handsome, blue-eyed, twenty-four-year-old former Ohio schoolteacher. A close second was Bloody Bill Anderson, whose father was murdered by Unionists..among their disciples were young men destined for later notoriety: Frank and Jesse James, and Coleman Younger...In early 1862, Quantrill and his band of bushwhackers launched a series of strikes into Kansas...(This led to) thousands of Federal troopers and Kansas militiamen (to) quickly pursue the bushwhackers...thus escalated the vicious cycle of retaliation and revenge...The Union soldiers hunted the guerillas like animals. By 1864, the guerrilla war had reached new peaks of savagry. Robbing stagecoaches, harassing citizens, cutting telegraph wires were everyday occurences; but now it was no longer simply enough to ambush and gun down the enemy. They had to be mutilated and just as often scalped...In one massacre, a Quantrill chieftain calmly hopped from one body to another, plundering his prey. Altogether he stepped on 124 corpses. In another massacre, those who surrendered were clubbed to death...(Eventually) all order broke down. Groups of revenge-minded Federals, militia and even soldiers, became guerillas themselves, angrily stalking Missouri, tormenting, torturing and slaying Southern-sympathizers. Ruthless repriseals and random terror became the norm, and the entire state was dragged into an incomprehensible and accelerating whirlpool of vengence...the very fabric of all civil society was torn apart...civilians became not just anxious spectators but unwilling participants. In a war without fronts, boundaries, and formal organizations, the divisions between civilians and soldiers/partisans almost totally evaporated. As time wore on, ever-greater numbers of people fled--to Texas, Colorado, California, Idaho even Tennessee. By 1864, most rural Missourians had become refugees, inside or outside the state." (Winik, pps. 158-163). The following deed was made 6 January 1876 between Thomas H and Martha J Payne his wife, Francis W Bosworth and Elizabeth H Bosworth his wife Wilbern Baldwin and Sarah H Baldwin his wife for and in consideration of one Dollar to be paid by Levi F. Payne of the county of Marion, Missouri sell real estate in Shelby County, Missouri to wit: the west half of the North East quarter of section 12 township 58 range 10 west containing 80 acres more or less. Recorded in the State of Kentucky, County of Jefferson (vol 2 C, P-138). [Apparently this had been recorded incorrectly at one time, because two deed corrections relating to this transaction immediately followed this deed]. In 1877 and 1878, Tom's health became much worse. He was advised by his family physician (Dr. Payne of Clarence, Shelby County, Missouri, whose biography* follows this) that his medical condition "was incurable and he advised him to go to Texas as the change in climate (the air being less humid) might help him." In Brooke Payne's book THE PAYNES OF VIRGINIA, he lists the following 10 children as accompanying Thomas and Martha Payne to Texas: Samuel, William H.H., Newton, Winfield Scott, Elizabeth, Catherine, Caroline, Berilla Jane, Thomas and Walter. A published biography of William H.H. Payne has a slightly different list of children: 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; Lula, wife of Allison Scott, of Duncan; Thomas B. ; and Walter W., of Duncan. Note that Berilla Jane is on Brooke Payne's list (and also the LDS Ancestral Files), but not in the biography of William H.H. Payne, or on any of the census records viewed. This could be the wife of Levi F. Payne. Therefore, it is assumed she is on Brooke Payne's list in error. Also, the LDS files have a son Lee, not listed in any other record. It is also assumed this also was an error. Tom and Martha's daughter Catherine Joyner had preceeded them to Texas. The other children all (without exception) moved to Texas as well. [Conversations with Lewis Adair Payne; National Archives as College Park; Thomas H. Payne Pension Application #36012-General Affidavit blank completed and signed by affiant G.T. Joyner of Chillcothe P.O., Hardeman Co, Texas on 16 February 1889]. A neigboring farmer in Hardeman County was L.F. McClanahan, whom they became "intimately acquainted with." Two of their sons were married to McClanahan's. Both L.F. and another neighbor noted that Thomas was not able to perform manual labor (more than a quarter of his time) and that he had a severe cough. [National Archives as College Park; Thomas H. Payne Pension Application #36012-General Affidavit blank completed and signed by affiants L.F. McClanahan and J.B. Loring, Hardeman Co, Texas on 5 April 1887] At some point around 1880, Thomas and Martha appear to have moved east one hundred miles from Hardeman County to Montague County, and in 1880 itself, they are enumerated on the Cooke County, Texas census. In 1883, Thomas made a claim to be placed on the Invalid Pension Roll of the United States. He stated he was greatly disabled, which prevented him from obtaining his subsistance by manual labor (farming) by reasons of contracting asthma while in service of the United States. Thomas signed the declaration in ink with some difficulty. He clearly was a man unused to the demands of a pen. Thomas died on September 14, 1884. Dr. John Stinson, who attended him at the time of his last illness, stated that "He was suffering at the time...with what I thought to be asthmatic bronchitis. He was physically a wreck...He had all the symptoms of chronic bronchitis, and continually suffered from asthma, up to the time of his death, which occured from exhaustion." After Tom's death, Martha pursued the claim for a Widow's Invalid Pension. Her attempt gives the impression of being a much more determined assault on the official bastions, although the ultimate outcome is unknown. There is a photograph (120X170mm) of the elderly Thomas Hamilton Payne in the collection of Lewis Adair Payne. The original was presumably done circa. 1880 in Montague, Texas. Mary Olive Payne's daughter Dorothy has the original retouched photograph. Biography of Thomas Payn'e Family Physician, Harry C. Payne (Relationship, if any, unknown) PAYNE, Harry C, MD (1879 - 1938) Dr. Harry Clancet Payne worked his way through college, graduating from Missouri University School of Medicine in 1903. He was the son of Bennett Allen Payne, MD, who graduated from Rush Medical College in Chicago in 1868, practiced medicine in Clarence, MO, served in the Union Army in the Civil War, was captured, contracted Tuberculosis while a prisoner and died when Harry was only nine years old. Dr. Payne practiced medicine for a short time at Cherry Box and nearby Clarence, Mo. In 1904 he married Edna Kahlke of Rock Island, Illinois, and they moved to Paris where he practiced until shortly before his death from cancer. In 1921 he made an overland trip to Denver, Colorado with Albert Sladeck. He had been told that X-rays of his lungs indicated TB, but those taken at Denver showed what were diagnosed as old scars. A patient willed him a 13-room home and acreage with the stipulation that it be used as a hospital for at least two years. It was known as the Meyer Memorial Sanitarium in honor of the late parents of his benefactor, Mrs. Minnie Westphaling. After several years it was closed as Paris was not large enough to support a medical facility, and was only twenty five miles from well established hospitals. He was joined by Dr. Joseph Flynt in 1921. Dr. Flynt practiced in Paris until his death and was aswell loved as Dr. Payne. Dr. Payne's wife preceded him in death in 1937. They had three daughters - Helen Ford, Virginia Gibbs, Mary Grace Winburn. |

| 18914 | I5922 | Payne | Thomas Hamilton | 20 Mar 1893 | 12 Dec 1957 | 0 | Thomas's mother died when he was just three months old. His father remarried shortly after he turned six. Sometime after his father's remarriage, Thomas was sent to Decatur, Texas to attend school. His daughter, Anna Laura Payne, believes this school was run by Jesuits. While he was away at school, about six months after his thirteenth birthday, his father died "of a long and lingering illness like consumption." Before he turned 17, Thomas's stepmother died as well. Within the next ten years, both of his younger half-brothers died tragically. In spite of suffering these many significant losses, Thomas was a gregarious and outgoing person with many friends. He loved to hunt and be in the outdoors. Ken Harvey wrote "Tom was musical and learned to play the piano by ear. He seemed, throughout his life, to have had little sense of responsibility or of time. As a boy he would often disappear and be found, for example, asleep in a field. His father often had to saddle up his horse and go and get him when he was missing from home as a child." Harvey continued "In the First World War Tommy served in the 90th Division US Army alongside his double cousin Carl. Tommy used to collect enemy arms after a military action, Carl reported, even though he was not allowed to keep them. He could be seen staggering across the battlefield weighed down, dropping a weapon from the pile he clutched when he saw another gun he preferred better. He was a marksman who shot left-handed. He had been excused from further army rifle practice in basic training, and allowed to fire holding the gun as he wished, when it was discovered how accurate his aim was." Daughter Anna Laura reported that her father did not go oversees until after the Armistice, he was part of the later occupaying forces. She remembers waving to him from the train station as he departed for the service. After he returned from overseas, Thomas resumed his farming and ranching operations in Stephens county. Charles Strong reports that Tom lost his land in the late 1920's, after the bottom fell out of the cattle market. He had borrowed money against his ranch from a bank in Wichita, Kansas to raise a herd of cattle. A couple of years later, when they had fully matured, he shipped them by freight train to Chicago to be sold. The market crashed, and the sale of his cattle didn't raise enough even to pay the freight charges that were due on his shipment. To avoid foreclosure, Tom arranged to sell his land holdings to Leonard Ketchum. Ketchum paid him a few thousand dollars in cash, and also assumed to notes that were due on the land, a fair and gracious offer that helped keep Tom on his feet. Tom used this stake to homestead for a while in Wyoming, thinking this would give him a fresh start. He thought it a great adventure. Bessie was horrified. Charles Strong recalls that Bessie's initial impression of the Wyoming homesteads was favorable. She admired both the large screened in porches, and long clothes lines. Her admiration turned to stark terror, however, when she learned that the screened in porches were actually set up so the children had somewhere to play away from the rattlesnakes. She also came to realize that long lines between the homes and barns weren't for clothers. They were set up so that you wouldn't get lost and freeze to death going between your barn and your home in the case of a sudden blizzard. At Bessie's urging, they soon moved back to Oklahoma. These setbacks eventually became too much for Tom. One day he simply disappeared, leaving Bessie and his children behind. Unbeknownst to them, he moved to California. This is how he was listed at the time of the 1930 Federal Census: California, Los Angeles, Signal Hill, ED 1509 Taylor, Joseph A Hd M W 40 M @ 25 Calif Ill Ind Assistant Operator Gasoline Plow Taylor, Mary A Wife F W 45 M @ 30 NY NY Ireland Crossen, Albert Lodger M W 22 S Cal Cal Iowa Rotary Helper Stamper, Edgar A Lodger M W 34 S Oklahoma Tenn Iowa Rotary Helper Garlington, Robert Lodger M W 35 D Alabama Georgia Alabama Rotary Helper Price, Sterling Lodger M W 49 M California Missouri Missouri Pumper Harris, Abbot B Lodger M W 31 D Pennsylvania Ireland Nebraska Promoter O&G PAYNE, THOMAS Lodger M W 37 M @ age 20 Ok Missouri Ok Rotary Helper The occupations of the lodgers in both the Taylor lodging home, and in the homes of their immediate neighbors, made it clear he was part of the booming oil and gas industry in California. In 1900, the state of California produced 4 million barrels. By 1910, this had jumped to 77 million barrels. In the 1920's three new major fields were discovered in rapid succession - Huntington Beach (1920), Santa Fe Springs (1921), and the biggest of them all, the Signal Hill, where Thomas lived. By April 1922, only 10 months after completion of the discovery well, Signal Hill was covered with 108 wells, producing 14,000 barrels daily. By the fall of 1923, 259,000 barrels of crude was being produced every day from nearly 300 wells. Signal Hill was the biggest field the already productive Southern California region had ever seen....this made California the nation's number-one producing state, and in 1923, California was the source of one-quarter of the world's entire output of oil! (http://www.priweb.org/ed/pgws/history/signal_hill/signal_hill2.html) Tom appeared to be in the Long Beach area for well over a decade. In August, 1943, he filed a document with the Long Beach, California Selective Service board. It was a request for permission to depart the United States to visit the country of Alaska, which was not yet a state. He was in the employ of Guy F. Atkinson Co of San Francisco, a heavy construction company. As the nature of his business was listed as "confidential," it is likely he was involved in a civil engineering project in Alaska related to the war effort. Back home in Oklahoma, in September 1950, his family had him declared legally dead so they could probate his estate and apply for benefits based on his enrollement in the Chickasaw tribe. Daughter Lois Marie Payne was named executor. Because they had not heard from him in over twenty years, they had no idea if he was still living. Tom remained in the Pacific Northwest after the second World War, working as a civil servant at various Air Force Bases in and around Alaska. When he became terminally ill, the Red Cross reconnected Tom and his family in Oklahoma, via letters, prior to his death. On the Standard Certificate of Death, State of Oregon, Thomas H. Payne is shown as having died at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon on December 12, 1957. His usual residence is shown as Palmer, Alaska, and his usual occupation is shown as Laborer. It appears that his marital status was subject to some question. It looks as if the "divorced" box was originally checked, and then scribbled over. The "married" box is checked, and the name of his spouse is shown as Mrs. Bessie Payne. The date of birth is given as March 20, 1893, and his birthplace is shown as Marlow, Oklahoma. Mother and Father are shown as "unknown." It is noted that he was a Veteran of World War I, and that the information on the death certificate was taken from his VA records. The certificate was signed by W.A Haug, MD, Asst. Pathologist. The funeral director was A.J. Rose and Son of Portland, and the cemetery or crematorium being Willamette National Cemetery in Portland, Oregon. A telegraph regarding his death was sent the next day to Anna Laura Strong in Duncan. His gravesite information is below: PAYNE, THOMAS H PVT US ARMY WORLD WAR I DATE OF BIRTH: 03/20/1893 DATE OF DEATH: 12/12/1957 BURIED AT: SECTION H SITE 2888 WILLAMETTE NATIONAL CEMETERY http://www.cem.va.gov/nchp/willamette.htm 11800 SE MT. SCOTT BOULEVARD PORTLAND, OR 97266 (503) 273-5250 Anna Laura Strong also received a letter from Mrs. Earle W. Barry, Star Route, Palmer, Alaska some eight months after her father died. She had apparently written Mrs. Barry regarding some trouble they were having in regards to an insurance settlement. Mrs. Barry informed her that she had "never heard him mention a divorce at any time and I believe I would have heard tell about it some time when he was under the influence of liquor. He was in California before he came to Alaska. The boys met him in Amchitka Island that was an Army base, the last was Ladd Field...near Fairbank, before that he was (at) Eidson Base. I am sending some papers that were laying around. Hope they will help you. Tom was a good man. His worst enemy was liquor." Among Tom's personal effects that were returned to his family were his wallet and four photographs: two of the photos were of co-workers, Lee H. Talley of Iowa and Richard Neal of Missouri; one photo of Tom himself in outdoor gear; and a studio portrait of "Marie and Midge." Richard Neal inscribed his photo, taken at Amchitka Base Headquarters, "To a very good Pal from a Boiler house cook." Marie inscribed her portrait, dated 1944, as well, saying that although it was "not a good picture" of either her or Midge, she thought Tom might wish to cut it down to fit his wallet. He chose to keep it intact. His brown Norwegian Cowhide wallet contained several money order receipts, a blank check from the First National Bank of Fairbanks, receipts for funds he received as a VA patient in Oregon (claim #1431661), his 1956-1957 Alaska Resident Hunting License, an National Rifle Association of America Membership card, a Veterans of Foreign Wars Ballard Post 3063 card, a membership card from the Ladd AFB Civilian Club of Fairbanks, his U.S. Civil Service Commission retirement card dated May 6, 1957 (#CSA-466-659), his union card from the National Federation of Federal Employees Local 899, a receipt for a .22 caliber rifle, and a business card from the Association of Baptists for World Evangelism, based in Philadelphia. On the back of this card was written "Benjamin Constant, Amazona Brasil, S.A.". A few pieces of correspondence were returned as well. Among these were his 1943 permit to leave the US for Alaska; a 1948 letter from the IRS--mailed to Tom in Seattle--regarding a $32 refund on the 1946 taxes; a "Notification of Personnel Action from Ladd AFB," dated July 8, 1955, showing Tom's change in title from Stationary Boiler Fireman to Heating Equipment Fireman. His grade, WB-54-02-09, and his salary ($2.94 per hour) remained unchanged. Also saved were his separation from duty papers dated 20 May 1957. It showed that he was retiring due to disability, and that his permanent home address would be in care of Earl W. Barry of Palmer, Alaska. A prescription for various drugs to treat his bronchogenic carcinoma was included as well, signed by E. Dank, Capt. USAF, of Todd AFB. He also saved his acceptance as a life member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Ironically, his VFW Life Member card (No. 4427), also in his effects, was dated 1-1-1958, two weeks after his death. These effects, as meager as they seem, were treasured by his daughters, and remained in 2005 in the position of his granddaughter, Lynn (Payne) Moroney of Oklahoma. He was 1/32 Indian by blood through his mother. He appears as No. 3686 upon the "lists prepared by the Commission to the Five Civilized Tribes under the Act of Congress approved July 1, 1902 (32 Stat., 641), of persons entiled to enrollment as citizens by blood of the Chickasaw Nation and approved by the Secretary of the Interior December 12, 1902". Because of this, he was first alloted land when he was only eleven years old in Tishomingo, Indian Territory on July 9, 1904, Section 29, Town IN, Range 5W, 160 acres in total with a value of $1,040.

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.

| 18934 | I4815 | Payne | William | Bef 1652 | 23 Feb 1697 | 0 | 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]. |

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). |

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.") |

| 18944 | I4658 | Payne | William Bertram | 22 Jul 1878 | 22 Jun 1915 | 0 | The year of his birth is sometimes shown as 1877, but his granddaughter, Linda Miller, shows it as 1878. This is based on their family Bible. Linda notes that he had a cleft palate and wore a mustached most of the time to cover it up, his features appeared Indian, but he had light blue eyes. Ken Harvey writes that he was known as Bert, and that he was a professional cowboy. His granddaughter, Linda Miller, says her father said he was always called Will by his family. Grace Ellen Gentry, who knew him, had a lot of respect for William Bertram. She had high standards and was not an easy lady to please. He was considered a very physically tough person but he was very well mannered. He worked for his uncle Walter W. Payne at one point, Walter having a ranch. He once had an accident when roping steers. His lower arm ended up being jerked off at the elbow. He gained a lot of respect from the fact that he didn't let this later hinder him on a horse. He used to hold the reins wrapped around the stump and it was considered that he could do more than many men who had both their hands. Linda Miller recalls the story of how her grandfather actually lost his arm as follows: "He had been working on the Bell Ranch in New Mexico, when a young cowboy thought it would be funny to see old Will Payne be thrown, so he hit the horse (just green broke) that my grandfather was riding on the rump with his felt hat and he was thrown alright. My grandfather at the time weighed about 230 pounds and was 6 foot 2 or 4 inches tall. When he fell it drove his left arm into the ground. There was a compound fracture above the elbow. The doctor that was available thought it best to take off his arm right above the break. It did not heal well and went back to Oklahoma and then went to a doctor in Missouri that took it off in the shoulder joint after gangrene had set in. During his weakened condition he contracted T.B. and died of it when my father was 6 months old, leaving my grandmother a young widow with three boys." |

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).

Throughout his life, however, he used the intials W.H., although Brooke Payne does record them as W.H.H. Charles R. Strong found this short biography below in the Duncan, Oklahoma Genealogy Library in early November 1999. 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." |

| 18956 | I1544 | Payne | Winfield Scott | Feb 1853 | Abt 1928 | 0 | 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." |

From an interview later done with Wrights brother Felix by the Globe Democrat, St. Louis, Missouri, we learn Wright's wife (Anna) was a school teacher. Melba notes that Anna had been previosly married, and was the mother of Willie Dunn. Melba posted to the McLemores and their Heritage group on facebook, on December 26, 2021, that: Descendants of Keton Jones McLemore..I have found the maiden name of Wright K. McLemore's 2nd wife, Mrs. Anna M. Dunn. She was born Anna M Pearson , circa 1844 in Chambers Co., Alabama. Daughter of Samuel Pearson and Martha Monk. She married John W. Dunn Feb 16, 1866 in Butler Co., Alabama. Her father was a Probate Judge for Chambers Co., Alabama and was killed in the Civil War around Jan 21, 1863. Her mother died of consumption May 1870, Her sister Rebecca C, Pearson married in Nov of 1866 to Lewis Larkin Penn Ragsdale. Both sisters headed to Texas by 1870. Anna and her son Willie are enumerated in the 1880 Federal Census in the household of her sister Rebecca and husband Larkin Ragsdale. 15 years ago I went through the entire 1880 census of San Antonio looking for Anna. I found this census and it turns out tho the enumerator spelled the surname Reisfell instead of Ragsdale. "Anna Dun"was the only music teacher in the 1880 in San Antonio Tx census that remotely matched so I held onto that enumeration for the last 15 years....so all you researchers HELP Where did she go after 1883? She was only 39 when our Wright McLemore was lynched on Christmas Eve 1883, so she probably remarried. I worked the Ragsdale line and the 1880 Risefell census is them, the enumerator just spelled their name the way it sounded to him.... Felix told us she was a teacher, who taught music, highly educated woman. She and her sister Rebecca are both enumerated as teachers. She has an aunt who taught music. And she matches the info in Rosa's papers, that cousin Lynn Murchison held onto in a bottom dresser drawer...(Thank goodness) and snail mailed me copies of the 4 pages that allowed us all to document the children of KJ McLemore. I have been looking for Anna at least 15 years....now I want to find her after 1883..... this is her in 1880: Name: Annie Dun Home in 1880: San Antonio, Bexar, Texas Age: 36 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1844 Birthplace: Alabama Relation to Head of Household: Sister Father's birthplace: Georgia Mother's birthplace: Georgia Occupation: Music Teacher Marital Status: Widowed Race: White Household Members: Louis Reisfell 38 1842 Georgia Rebecca Reisfell 40 1840 Alabama ( nee Pearson) Dadley Reisfell 11 1869 Texas May Reisfell 6 1874 Texas Benjamin Reisfell 4 1876 Texas Annie Dun 36 1844 Alabama Music Teacher Willie Dun 13 1867 Alabama |
