    Notes 
    • 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. He settled in Scott County at Payne's depot near Georgetown. 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.
