      Kentucky Historical Society, "Genealogies of Kentucky Families: Vol. O-Y" (Baltimore Gen. Publ.-1981) notes she is the sister of Col. Richard M. Johnson of Georgetown, Kentucky. Betsy and John had fifteen children, four of them surviving: Asa Payne of Payne's Depot, Scott County, Kentucky; 2. John of Jack Payne, Warsaw, Ky.; 3. Jeff Payne, Howard Co, Missouri; and 4. A daughter, Mrs. Offut.
