  Notes	William's granddaughter said that he never spoke of his own father, but often of his step-father Grymes, a slave owner and cripple. (Payne, p 289) 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).

Haplogroup R1b is the most common in Western Europe, and are descendants of the Europe's first large-scale human settlers. The marker's frequency is high in northern France and the British Isles where it was carried by descendents who had weathered the Ice Age in Spain. The yDNA donor was Paul James Payne of Corpus Christi, now deceased.
