    Notes:

    In the book THE PAYNES OF VIRGINIA, there is an interesting account on pages 240 through 242 about the siege of Bryan's Station, Kentucky. It is an abstraction of a letter written by Betsy in 1846, detailing her memories of her family being attacked by Indians.

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.

    Elizabeth married John Payne on 28 Jun 1787 in Georgetown, Scott County, Kentucky. John (son of William Payne and Anne Jennings) was born on 8 Apr 1764 in Fairfax County, Virginia; died on 9 Sep 1837. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
