Berilla Jane Payne

Abt 1873 - Yes, date unknown

• Name	Berilla Jane Payne  [1, 2]
  Born	Abt 1873
  Gender	Female
  Died	Yes, date unknown
  Notes	There was a Berilla Payne on Brooke Payne's list of children that accompanied Thomas Hamilton Payne and Martha Jane Marshall to Texas. However, he was not found as a child of theirs on 1850 or 1880 census, nor is she recorded in as a sibling in the biography of William Henry Harrison Payne. Recorded by Joe Payne as having been born about 1873 in Missouri. She may have died young as Faye Payne Yeager, Lois Payne Hanna and Lewis Adair Payne all had not heard of her. Brooke Payne may have been thinking that Thomas's sister-in-law, Berilla Jane Gash Payne (married to his brother Levi Payne) was part of Thomas's immediate family? There is a marriage license filed April 11, 1864 certifying that L.B. Wilkes, Minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, did on the 6th day of April 1864 united in marriage Wm. Benj. Stephens of Rolla, Mo and Meifs (sic) Berilla C. Payne of Marion County both of the State of Missouri. This matches the marriage records (3-164). This marriage is for a Berilla Payne from an entirely different Payne family. She is listed as a daughter of Francis Payne and Harriet Bowles, and granddaughter of Jesse Payne and Rebecca Crenshaw. This PAYNE descendancy report was printed out by Charles R. Strong from the Palmyra Library computer, family tree maker file for Jesse Payne born ca 1760. This file was compiled by John Eisenberg of Palmyra. From an indenture dated January 27, 1876 we know that as of that date, Levi F. and Barrilla Jane Payne were still married.
