Notes:

In a biography of his brother-in-law, John O'Neill, he was referenced as "Newton, a farmer near Wewoka, Oklahoma."

When she was around six year old, ca 1918-1919, Roonie recalls going from her father's ranch to the big Payne farm, over the hill about 1/2 a mile away. When they arrived, Levi Newton Payne and his family were in two covered wagons starting a trip to Arizona. Her parents had gone to the farm to say their goodbyes. She remembered that one of the young children appeared to be retarded/disabled in some way. The family remained in Arizona, which is where Levi Newton died around 1932. (This story was told to Charles Strong by his mother around 1990).

In the copy of the Will of William H. Payne, he lists Levi as recieving $400. Levi was taught to read by his wife Lizzie, a school teacher. Levi Newton was in the 1889 run and got land near Oklahoma City, but traded it for a horse. (Source: Cova Jean Williams).

He died from acute angina pectoris on December 3, 1932. The informant was F.L. (Fred Lee) Payne. The undertaker was M.L. Gibbons. he was recorded as 76 years, 4 months and 1 day old. (From his death certificate filed in Arizona). A memorial stone was erected over his grave in 1988.

Levi married Sarah Elizabeth McClanahan on 28 Feb 1875 in Shelby County, Missouri. Sarah (daughter of Enoch Cox McClanahan and Andromache "America" "Mackey" Mills) was born on 8 Jun 1849 in Schuyler County, Missouri; died on 21 Jan 1921 in Cruce, Stephens County, Oklahoma. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Ken Harver writes that she was a school teacher. Cova Jean Williams writes that she was buried at the Owens Prairie Cemetery, Stephens County, Oklahoma. If this is correct, it may have been in an unmarked grave as she can not be found on the 2001 Survey done by Karla Sharp for the USGenWeb and OkGenWeb Project. Nor can a listing be found for her on FindAGrave.

(Medical):Ken Harvey notes that she was crippled, and had a goiter.

Ken Harvey states that the dates of births and deaths relating to this family group came from family bible which is in possion of Ruby Nichols at Higley, Arizona; Levi Newton Paynes death certificate; and Marriage license between Levi Newton Payne and S.E.MCCLANAHAN. Additional information is from the unpublished typescript MCCLANAHAN FAMILY HISTORY by Dorothy Lee Pattison (1989).

Ulyses married Ida Frances Morley. Ida was born before 1866; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Thomas Hamilton Payne was born 1819 in Kentucky. He was remembered by his family as a great hunter with gun and with hounds. He apparently moved to Missouri sometime before his marriage in 1843.

Charles R. Strong and his daughter, Mary Pat Strong, while at the Shelbina Library came across many years of the land tax records for Shelby County from 1836 - 1863. The following information was found on these tax rolls:

Year Owner Acres Section Township Range
Thomas H. Payne
80 16 59 9
80 16 59 9
40 17 59 9

This family was not listed on the 1860 Ledger of Shelby slave owners.

During the Civil War Thomas served in the Union Army. He enlisted with Captian C. Willmott in Shelbyville, Missouri on the 4th of April 1862. His unit in the Union Army was Capt. James W. Lampkin's Company H, 11th Regiment Cavalry, Missouri State Militia Volunteers. Thomas was made corporal. He was described as 6 ft. 2 in, with a light complexion, black hair and blue eyes. According to his service records, "It became evident soon after enlistment that diseases existed rendering the soldier unfit for duty." On June 1, he entered the hospital in Palmyra, Missouri to be treated. He was later moved to a hospital in Macon, Missouri. Thomas was discharged 7 July 1862. Surgeon C.C. Dickinson, who examined Thomas state that he was unfit for service "because of dyspepsia...existing long prior to enlistment. This man has suffered symptons of dypepsia for many years...and was unquestionably unfit for service when he enlisted." However, Thomas's immediate superior Sgt. Brown later testified that "Thomas H. Payne was, to the best of my knowledge, a sound able-bodied man....(and became) disabled in the line of duty by sleeping...in a dank room with open windows (during a period of almost constant rain), by reason of which he contracted asthma and typhoid pneumonia (as did many other soldiers quartered in this room)." This contradictory evidence caused Martha problems as she was trying to receive his service pension; and she had to provide lots of documents in order to eventually receive it.

In the book APRIL 1865, Jay Winik notes that "On one level, (Missouri) was the very embodiment of the Civil War itself: a conflict-ridden slave state that didn't secede, a state deeply divided in loyalties, a state with an ill-formed identity. On yet another level, as it descended into full-scale guerilla war, Missouri became a very different creature altogether, less a reflection of what the Civil War was and more a mirror for what the Civil War could become. It became a killing field. Missouri also produced the most bloodthirsty guerillas of the war. Topping the list was Willam Clarke Quantrill, a handsome, blue-eyed, twenty-four-year-old former Ohio schoolteacher. A close second was Bloody Bill Anderson, whose father was murdered by Unionists..among their disciples were young men destined for later notoriety: Frank and Jesse James, and Coleman Younger...In early 1862, Quantrill and his band of bushwhackers launched a series of strikes into Kansas...(This led to) thousands of Federal troopers and Kansas militiamen (to) quickly pursue the bushwhackers...thus escalated the vicious cycle of retaliation and revenge...The Union soldiers hunted the guerillas like animals. By 1864, the guerrilla war had reached new peaks of savagry. Robbing stagecoaches, harassing citizens, cutting telegraph wires were everyday occurences; but now it was no longer simply enough to ambush and gun down the enemy. They had to be mutilated and just as often scalped...In one massacre, a Quantrill chieftain calmly hopped from one body to another, plundering his prey. Altogether he stepped on 124 corpses. In another massacre, those who surrendered were clubbed to death...(Eventually) all order broke down. Groups of revenge-minded Federals, militia and even soldiers, became guerillas themselves, angrily stalking Missouri, tormenting, torturing and slaying Southern-sympathizers. Ruthless repriseals and random terror became the norm, and the entire state was dragged into an incomprehensible and accelerating whirlpool of vengence...the very fabric of all civil society was torn apart...civilians became not just anxious spectators but unwilling participants. In a war without fronts, boundaries, and formal organizations, the divisions between civilians and soldiers/partisans almost totally evaporated. As time wore on, ever-greater numbers of people fled--to Texas, Colorado, California, Idaho even Tennessee. By 1864, most rural Missourians had become refugees, inside or outside the state." (Winik, pps. 158-163).

The following deed was made 6 January 1876 between Thomas H and Martha J Payne his wife, Francis W Bosworth and Elizabeth H Bosworth his wife Wilbern Baldwin and Sarah H Baldwin his wife for and in consideration of one Dollar to be paid by Levi F. Payne of the county of Marion, Missouri sell real estate in Shelby County, Missouri to wit: the west half of the North East quarter of section 12 township 58 range 10 west containing 80 acres more or less. Recorded in the State of Kentucky, County of Jefferson (vol 2 C, P-138). [Apparently this had been recorded incorrectly at one time, because two deed corrections relating to this transaction immediately followed this deed].

In 1877 and 1878, Tom's health became much worse. He was advised by his family physician (Dr. Payne of Clarence, Shelby County, Missouri, whose biography* follows this) that his medical condition "was incurable and he advised him to go to Texas as the change in climate (the air being less humid) might help him." In Brooke Payne's book THE PAYNES OF VIRGINIA, he lists the following 10 children as accompanying Thomas and Martha Payne to Texas: Samuel, William H.H., Newton, Winfield Scott, Elizabeth, Catherine, Caroline, Berilla Jane, Thomas and Walter.

A published biography of William H.H. Payne has a slightly different list of children: Elizabeth, wife of John O'Neil, of Duncan; Kate, wife of Thomas Joyner, of Oklahoma; Samuel M., of Stephens county; William H., whose career has been sketched; Winfield, near Red Moon, Oklahoma; Levi N(ewton), of Wewoka, Oklahoma; Josephine, wife of L. F. McClannahan, of Duncan; Lula, wife of Allison Scott, of Duncan; Thomas B. ; and Walter W., of Duncan.

Note that Berilla Jane is on Brooke Payne's list (and also the LDS Ancestral Files), but not in the biography of William H.H. Payne, or on any of the census records viewed. This could be the wife of Levi F. Payne. Therefore, it is assumed she is on Brooke Payne's list in error. Also, the LDS files have a son Lee, not listed in any other record. It is also assumed this also was an error.

Tom and Martha's daughter Catherine Joyner had preceeded them to Texas. The other children all (without exception) moved to Texas as well. [Conversations with Lewis Adair Payne; National Archives as College Park; Thomas H. Payne Pension Application #36012-General Affidavit blank completed and signed by affiant G.T. Joyner of Chillcothe P.O., Hardeman Co, Texas on 16 February 1889].

A neigboring farmer in Hardeman County was L.F. McClanahan, whom they became "intimately acquainted with." Two of their sons were married to McClanahan's. Both L.F. and another neighbor noted that Thomas was not able to perform manual labor (more than a quarter of his time) and that he had a severe cough. [National Archives as College Park; Thomas H. Payne Pension Application #36012-General Affidavit blank completed and signed by affiants L.F. McClanahan and J.B. Loring, Hardeman Co, Texas on 5 April 1887]

At some point around 1880, Thomas and Martha appear to have moved east one hundred miles from Hardeman County to Montague County, and in 1880 itself, they are enumerated on the Cooke County, Texas census.

In 1883, Thomas made a claim to be placed on the Invalid Pension Roll of the United States. He stated he was greatly disabled, which prevented him from obtaining his subsistance by manual labor (farming) by reasons of contracting asthma while in service of the United States. Thomas signed the declaration in ink with some difficulty. He clearly was a man unused to the demands of a pen.

Thomas died on September 14, 1884. Dr. John Stinson, who attended him at the time of his last illness, stated that "He was suffering at the time...with what I thought to be asthmatic bronchitis. He was physically a wreck...He had all the symptoms of chronic bronchitis, and continually suffered from asthma, up to the time of his death, which occured from exhaustion."

After Tom's death, Martha pursued the claim for a Widow's Invalid Pension. Her attempt gives the impression of being a much more determined assault on the official bastions, although the ultimate outcome is unknown.

There is a photograph (120X170mm) of the elderly Thomas Hamilton Payne in the collection of Lewis Adair Payne. The original was presumably done circa. 1880 in Montague, Texas. Mary Olive Payne's daughter Dorothy has the original retouched photograph.



Biography of Thomas Payn'e Family Physician, Harry C. Payne (Relationship, if any, unknown)

PAYNE, Harry C, MD (1879 - 1938)

Dr. Harry Clancet Payne worked his way through college, graduating from Missouri University School of Medicine in 1903. He was the son of Bennett Allen Payne, MD, who graduated from Rush Medical College in Chicago in 1868, practiced medicine in Clarence, MO, served in the Union Army in the Civil War, was captured, contracted Tuberculosis while a prisoner and died when Harry was only nine years old.

Dr. Payne practiced medicine for a short time at Cherry Box and nearby Clarence, Mo. In 1904 he married Edna Kahlke of Rock Island, Illinois, and they moved to Paris where he practiced until shortly before his death from cancer.

In 1921 he made an overland trip to Denver, Colorado with Albert Sladeck. He had been told that X-rays of his lungs indicated TB, but those taken at Denver showed what were diagnosed as old scars.

A patient willed him a 13-room home and acreage with the stipulation that it be used as a hospital for at least two years. It was known as the Meyer Memorial Sanitarium in honor of the late parents of his benefactor, Mrs. Minnie Westphaling. After several years it was closed as Paris was not large enough to support a medical facility, and was only twenty five miles from well established hospitals.

He was joined by Dr. Joseph Flynt in 1921. Dr. Flynt practiced in Paris until his death and was aswell loved as Dr. Payne.

Dr. Payne's wife preceded him in death in 1937. They had three daughters - Helen Ford, Virginia Gibbs, Mary Grace Winburn.

Thomas married Martha Jane Marshall on 5 Aug 1843 in Clark County, Missouri. Martha (daughter of Samuel Marshall and Hannah S. Hicks) was born on 27 Mar 1826 in Hardinsburg, Breckinridge County, Kentucky; died on 27 Oct 1900 in Oklahoma; was buried in Marlow Cemetery, Marlow, Stephens County, Oklahoma. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

In THE PAYNES OF VIRGINIA by Brooke Payne, it is noted that she is the daughter of "Silas Marshall of Lagrange, Mo." This is not correct, Silas is actually her brother.

Following marriage in about 1844, the young couple were living next door to Martha's parents in Lewis Co., Missouri.

Fay Payne Yeager found the family on the 1850 census is Lewis County, Missouri.

Dorothy (known as Dotty Bob) Thompson has a Marshall family bible that may have information in it.

Her tombstone in Marlow Cemetery gives her date of birth as 27 Mar 1827; that is exactly one year after what family records show as her her actual birthdate. It is possible that the tombstone is incorrect.

She was 74 at the time of her death, and had been living with her youngest son, Walter and his wife Gertrude at the time of the 1900 census, taken a few months prior to her death.

Notes:

Married:
Thomas Hamilton Payne and Martha J(ane) Marshall were married by Rev. Minor Ford a Minister of the Gospel in Clark County, Missouri on 5 August 1843. Sarah Ann Payne (then aged 63 and wife of Judge John Loomis Smith) signed an affadavit in 1889 stating that having been personally acquanted with the two, she had been present at the marriage of her brother Thomas Payne to Martha Jane Marshall by the Rev. Ford in August of 1843. [Thomas H. Payne Pension Application #494585--Army of the United States Certificate of Disability]

Following the marriage, the young couple were farming and living next door to Martha's parents in Lewis County, Missouri.

Notes:

Charles Strong found the family listed on the 1850 Schuyler County, Missouri census listing while on a research trip in Schulyer County, Missouri in November, 2002. He also located a deed titled Elias and Adeline Brown to Enoch C. McClanahan filed for record on July 28, 1855, made and entered into on the third day of June 1854 in the State of Missouri, County of Schulyer for land. The land was located about a mile and a half northwest of the town called Green Top. Reference Book 4, page 67. Charles sent the copy of the complete deed to Cova Jean Williams for her files.

U S General Land Office Records, 1796-1907 show that Enoch C. McClanahan was issued 40 acres of land on the 5th PM(eridan) in Schuyler County, MO, Twp 64-N, Range 15-W, Section 9, Accession #M04940___.291, Metes and Bounds No, Land Office Milan, Authority April 24, 1820, Sale-Cash Entry (3 Stat.566), Document Number 4240

The brief biography, copied below, was found on his FindAGrave memorial page, created by Larry Boyd and maintained by Emma Sue.

Enoch Cox McClanahan was born in Tennessee on April 18, 1818, to William and Sarah Cox McClanahan.

The family moved to Missouri where, on August 4, 1838, Enoch married Andromache "America" Mills. Together they had ten children. They were married 25 years before America died in 1863.

Enoch then married Mary Melinda Logsdon on November 20, 1864.

Enoch died March 9, 1877. He is buried in Montgomery Cemetery. His stone is one of a very few that was able to be found in the cemetery. It was the more legible of the stones. He is buried next to his granddaughter, Loue.

Census records list Enoch as a farmer. Cemetery records and his tombstone list him as a doctor.

It is understood that Enoch Cox McClanahan was born in Jefferson Co., Tennessee. The source for this event location is unknown. If this is correct then William McClanahan (b 1783), listed both in the 1830 and 1832 census indexes of that county, was almost certainly his father.

TN/1830/William McClanahan/Jefferson Co./Microfilm No.180 page No. 91

TN/1832/William McClanahan/Jefferson Co.

William was the only McClanahan listed in Jefferson Co., Tennessee. Unfortunately he was not listed (1996) in the Index to the 1820 census where he would have been expected.

Enoch married Andromache "America" "Mackey" Mills on 4 Aug 1838 in Cooper County, Missouri. Andromache was born on 18 Aug 1816 in Kentucky; died on 6 Oct 1863 in Schuyler County, Missouri; was buried in Greentop Cemetery, Schuyler County, Missouri. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

The I.G.I. records her name as Andromache (America) Mills - from this it is assumed she was commonly called, and known as, America.

She was presumably named after one of the finest drawn female characters in Homer's Iliad, Androm'ache; the wife of Hector.

Carol McClaanahan Mikelson/Robin Haake emailed, in November 2020, that Andromache had a sister, Penelope Mills, another name from Homer's Iliad. She had once been told that John Mills was a sea captain, but has not found confirmation of that fact.
