According to Brooks Payne, "A friend of the Rev. and Mrs. William Payne, Mrs. Keats from England, prevailed upon them to name their son after family, promising to leave him a large estate in England, which never materialized.

He was a representative at a Secession Convention at the outbreak of the Civil War. He opposed secession and argued for compromise. For his efforts, he was murdered by bushwackers. His body was found three miles from his home."

William McClung Paxton, in this book ANNALS OF PLATTE CO, MO writes that "Elder A. H. F. Payne died by the hand of an assassin. He often preached in Platte City to the Christian Church, and was greatly beloved....He was ordained an elder at Mayslick, and after preaching in Kentucky, came, in 1836, to Clay and thence to Clinton, where he was killed. His Southern blood was the excuse for his murder."
