William Payne is said to have served as a Lieutentant in the Revolution. His grand-daughter wrote me that she had often heard her father tell of the visit of a Pension Agent to his mother which she violently refused, saying "My husband did not serve his country for a pension." In 1855 his sons corresponded in an unsuccessul effort to reclaim a military grant of land alongside Bear Grass Creek, where Louisville now stands, which he neglected to survey and register. He was born in the Church of England, and died in Kentucky an ardent Baptist Minister with a record of long service as such, having performed the marriage ceremony of some of his earliest children. (Payne, pps 255-256).
William McClung Paxton, in his book ANNALS OF PLATTE COUNTY, MISSOURI, states that "William Payne was born near Lexington, Kentucky, and was a member of the Baptist Church and was know as 'Parson Payne.' He removed to Mason County, KY, where in my childhood, I often visited his family."
