Thomas Payne

Notes:

No record of his marriage or death. 1700 his father left him a negro Gennie, an equal share of his personal estate, a gray mare about 4 years old, and made him the heir of testator's sons John and George, should either die without issue. In 1713, Thomas PACE stated to the court that Thomas, William and Jane Payne, orphans of George Payne, had been under his care since the death of their father, and the profits from their part of the estate were so small they would not maintain them; upon which the court ordered them to serve said PACE and his present wife. In 1714 he was bound instead ot George WHITE (with the consent of Thomas PACE) until he was twenty-one, said WHITE agreeing to teach Thomas the trade of a carpenter. In 1721 he sold a slave Ginnie to William JENNINGS. 1722 he was paid by the court for guarding prisoners and in the same year was a defendant in a suit by Robert HUGHES. This is his last appearance in records, and nothing is suggested as to what became of him. (Payne, pp. 372, 373).

Notes:

In 1675, George witnessed a deed in Rappahannock County by Margaret Warren of land on Pepetick Creek adjacent to John Payne. In 1694, he served on a grand jury, and in 1696 he was involved in a case wherein two of his servants were ordered to work overtime, having been away without leave. In the same year, his brother, Richard Payne of Richmond County deede to him 60 acres on the north side of the of Pepetick Creek. In that same year he was witness and attorney for his nephew William Payne of Lancaster county,

George's will and subsequent court records show that he had five children, George, John, Thomas, William and Jane. It made no reference to his wife; leaving all his land to be divided between his two oldest sons George and John. Should either die, his part was to go to his son Thomas, who was also left a negro named Ginnie. His "father Thomas Pace" and his "brothers George White and Daniel White" were named as executors.

Thomas Pace, Gentleman of Rappahonock County was married to Jane, the widow of Thomas White. It was a daughter of Thomas and Jane White, name unknown, who married George Payne. Therefore, Thomas Pace is actually his stepfather-in-law, and George and Daniel White were his brother-in-laws.

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:

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.

John married Margaret ???. Margaret was born about 1619; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
