Sanford Allen Payne, IV

Notes:

From FindAGrave:

Fairfax Herald 8/5/1904
Payne S.A. Obit. Train accident

And this information was also on FindAGrave relating to his wife, Augusta:


Augusta S Payne b. May 16, 1857 d. January 14, 1922
Her maiden name was also Payne

d/o William Payne and Julia Arnold
Married in 1879 Sanford Allen Payne who was her cousin.

In 1920 she was living in Washington D.C.as a widow with her three daughters, Julian, Ruby and Iola Payne. This is likely where she died.

Notes:

1840 - He bought 130 acres on Buck Hall Branch, Prince William Co. where he continued to live.

Ancestry.com showsn that he served for the Confederacy during the Civil War. He enlisted as a Private on 25 Apr 1861 at the age of 43 into Company D, 17 Infantry Regiment Virgina, and was discharged on 26 July 1862. His occupation was listed as Cooper, and he was 6' tall, with blue eyes, sandy hair, and a florid complexion.

Sanford married Julia A. Colbert about 1842 in Prince William County, Virginia. Julia was born about 1824 in Virginia; died on 23 May 1886 in Prince William County, Virginia; was buried in Buckhall Community Cemetery, Buckhall, Prince William County, Virginia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Benjamin Colbert, a Cooper age 34, was living with Julia and Sanford at the time of the 1860 Census, Prince William County, Virginia. Presumably he was a brother or other relative as Ken Harvey shows her maiden name as Colbert.

Notes:

His will was dated 7 April 1787 (17 Dec 1792) Fairfax County, Virginia and named his wife and 8 children. (Payne, The PAYNES OF VIRGINIA).

Sanford married Abigail Lay. Abigail (daughter of Abraham Lay and Sarah Grymes) was born about 1730; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

"The inventory of the estate of Abigail Payne, deceased, was recorded May 1822 in Fx. Co. (Fairfax County, Virginia) Her administrator was her son Sanford Payne, Jr. He was allowed payment for her board from 1808 to 1820." (Payne, p 239)

Notes:

Married:
Kentucky Historical Society, "Genealogies of Kentucky Families: Vol. O-Y" (Baltimore Gen. Publ.-1981) makes the errorneous statement that "their daughter Dolly, married James Madison, President of the United States; another daughter married John G. Jackson, from who descended Stonewall Jackson, the famous Confederate General."

Dolly Madison was a Payne by birth, but not a daughter of Sanford and Abigail (Lay) Payne. As is noted below:

"She always called herself Dolley, and by that name the New Garden Monthly Meeting of the Society of Friends, in Piedmont, North Carolina, recorded her birth to John and Mary Coles Payne, settlers from Virginia. In 1769 John Payne took his family back to his home colony, and in 1783 he moved them to Philadelphia, city of the Quakers. Dolley grew up in the strict discipline of the Society, but nothing muted her happy personality and her warm heart."

In searching various internet biographies of Gen. Stonewall Jackson, I was not able to find evidence to support this either.
