Abt 1615 - Bef 1690  (74 years)

• Name	John Payne  [1]
  Birth	Abt 1615	England, United Kingdom   [1]
  Gender	Male
  Death	Bef 1690	Rappahannock County, Virginia
  Burial	Red House, Cedar Hill, Westmoreland County, Virginia
  Notes	See pages 44-51 of "The Paynes of Virginia" for more information on John Payne, Sr. He appeared to be a ship owner, as he was paid for provisioning and transporting Burgesses from Lancaster to James Town. He may also have been a carpenter, as in 1656 the county court ordered him to make for the county one pair of stocks and a whipping post. His date of birth is approximate and is based on an affidavit concerning delivery of pork to Jamestown which states his age as "44 years or thereabouts". This was probably a visual estimate of a Clerk of the Court rather than based on his own oral evidence. As suggested by the comparatively late date of the Court records relating to his two younger sons, it is not improbable that he was married twice, and that Margaret was his second wife. John Payne had the following children--Richard, John, William and George. It is believed that he had also one or more daughters; but since his will cannot be found, although it is recorded that he made one, it is practically impossible to identify any such daughters. (Medical):Y DNA Results, FTDNA Haplogroup: R1b1 A direct male descendant volunteered to have his DNA tested. The results can be found at www.ysearch.org, under the user ID #B3C9R, and the FamilyTreeDNA Kit number is 48173. More information can be found at the following website, part of the PAYNE DNA, which can be found at the following URL: http://papayne.rootsweb.com/dna-project/ The kit was #48173, and this Payne group was assigned to lineage 16. The members of R1b are believed to be the descendants of the first modern humans who entered Europe about 35,000-40,000 years ago. Those R1b forebearers were the people who painted the beautiful art in the caves in Spain and France. They were the contemporaries (and perhaps exterminators) of the European Neanderthals. R1b is the most common Y haplogroup in Europe - more than half of men of European descent belong to R1b. Fourteen of the 30 most common haplotypes in the YSTR.org database are typical of R1b.

  Payne, John yDNA of direct male descendant Certificate of Y-chromosome DNA testing from The Geneographic Project. 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. His line of descent from the immigrant John Payne is as follows: John Payne>William Payne>William Payne>Sanford Payne>George Payne>William C. Payne>Thomas Hamilton Payne, I>Walter Winkle Payne>Harry Carl Payne>Paul James Payne
