    Notes:

    In 1755, on an expedition against the Shawnee Indians, Ensign Edward Payne marched with an outfit commanded by Capt. Lewis Elzey to Winchester. Members of the party had enlisted to serve 30 days. No relief arriving at the expiration of that period, some of the officers and enlisted men chose to leave. Among the group that left was Ensign Payne. Therefore a subsequent claim for compensation for this service was rejected. He later served as a Church Warden, Justice of Fairfax County, and Sheriff. In 1782 he was recorded in the Virginia Census as head of a family consisting of 8 whites and 26 blacks.

  1. 8.  William Payne was born before 1652 in Virginia (son of John Payne and Margaret ???); died on 23 Feb 1697 in Westmoreland County, Virginia; was buried in Yeocomico, Westmoreland County, Virginia.

    Notes:

    The earliest recognized court reference to William Payne (b. ca. 1652) is found in Rappahannock County in 1673, when "William Payne, son of Mr. John Payne", recorded the earmark of his cattle---"three slits in each ear, and the middle slit cropt." This refence and the composite of the 17 traditional versions abstracted int he Introduction under the title of Genesis of the Virginia Families, particularly the 6th and 10th, taken in conjunction with the fact that the 1673 reference cannot be made to fit any other William Payne found int he Northern Neck records of this period, and that the McCartys, Lees, Fitzhughs, and Popes continued to be neighbors of or to intermarry with the Paynes of Leedstown and their descendants, are accepted by Brooke Payne as satisfactory proof of the identity of the said William Payne as the son of John Payne. Particularly convincing to the author is the fact, shown by documents referred to in Version 10 and still preserved in the family, that Captain William Payne (b 1755) recognized his relationship to the Paynes of Fairfax County near whom he lived.

    According to the PAYNE'S OF VIRGINIA, William was a merchant, planter, Justice, and probably shipowner. Mr Payne was apparently acquainted in England with merchants whom he represented in Virginia. He was probably the Captain Payne who in 1680 delivered letters from England to Col. William Fitzhugh of Westmorland County.

    His will (dated 31 Jan 1697/8) referred to money that he had on deposit in Newcastle [England].

    William married Elizabeth Pope in 1691 in Westmoreland County, Virginia. Elizabeth (daughter of Humphrey Pope and Elizabeth Hawkins) was born in Jun 1667 in Virginia; died in 1716 in Westmoreland County, Virginia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 9.  Elizabeth Pope was born in Jun 1667 in Virginia (daughter of Humphrey Pope and Elizabeth Hawkins); died in 1716 in Westmoreland County, Virginia.

    Notes:

    In THE PAYNES OF VIRGINIA, the author notes that the badly defaced tombstone of Elizabeth was discovered in 1907 beneath the tomb of her second husband, Captain McCarty, and read "(Here liet)h the body of Elizabeth (daught)er of Humphrey Pope, Gentleman, by (Elizabeth) his wife, first the wife of (William Pay)ne, Gentleman, to whom sh(e bore two so)ns and two daughters, and last(ly of) Daniel McCarty, Esq., to (whom she) was married 19th October (1699 and b)ore four sons and four daugh(ters). She was born ___ of June 1667."

    After Elizabeth POPE PAYNE lost William PAYNE she married [on 19 Oct 1699] Capt. Daniel MCCARTY who died 4 May 1724. He was the son of Dennis MCCARTHY and Elizabeth BILLINGTON of Richmond Co., VA then he married 2nd Mrs. Ann FITZHUGH widow of William FITZHUGH and she was the daughter of Richard LEE and Lettice CORBIN.
