Alicia Jones born about 1658, daughter of Edward Jones of Richmond County whose marriage to Alicia Lunn on 27 Aug 1679 is recorded in South Farnham Parrish Register. Edward Jones's will is dated 1715 and names his daughter Alicia Payne. He was a descendant of Robert Jones of Fleet's Bay, Northumberland County While the births of some of Edward Jones's children are recorded in the above Register, Alicia's does not there appear; it is estimated that she was born about 1686. She died 31 Oct 1760 in Fairfax County. Anne Jennings was born 28 Feb 1740 and died 11 May 1827 at the home of her son John Payne near Georgetown, Ky., where, in spite of his affectionate protests, she insisted upon residing in a cottage in his yard.

Notes:

William Payne of Westmoreland County and his descendants.

His only surviving son moved to Fairfax County about 1733, where the family resided for three generations. Soon after the Revolution all but one household of this group migrated to Kentucky, where they expanded and prospered.

Of William's descendants were Edward Payne of Fairfax County and Kentucky; Colonel William Payne, one of General Washington's honorary pall-bearers; General John Payne and Major Devall Payne of the War of 1812; Sanford Payne, brother of the gentleman who had the altercation with General Washington, described in Parson Weems's book, remained with his family in Fairfax County; some of his descendants now reside in Prince William and neighboring counties.

WILLIAM b. 1652 m(1) Mrs. Frances Clements 1688 in We. Co.; m(2) Elizabeth Pope 1691 in We. Co.; d. Feb 1698 in We. Co., leaving a will dated 31 Jany 1697/8 (23 Feb 1697/8); buried in Yeocomico Churchyard, We. Co.; grave is not marked. He was a merchant, planter, Justice, and probably shipowner. The earliest recognized Court reference to him is found in Ra. Co. 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 reference and the composite of the 17 traditional versions abstracted in the 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 in the 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 in the matter as satisfactory proof of the identity of the said William Payne as the son of John Payne the immigrant.

The next identified record of him is found in We. Co. dated 1688, when Josiah Pitt of England and w. Rebecca and Samuel Bonum, Jr., sued William Payne for possession of 150 a. that had been patented to John Powell. Plaintiffs claimed that said Powell left this land to "his then wife Joanna”, and that after her death it was to go to the children of his stepdaughters Rebecca Thomas and Margaret Bonum. At the time of this suit William Payne was in possession of this land. To understand this case and its historical value as evidence of William Payne's first marriage, the following summary is presented:

John and Michael Powell of Boston, Mass., settled in We. Co. John m. Mrs. Joanna Philpott, widow of Robert Philpott, Gent., of Nb. Co., who had 3 children--Captain Thomas Philpott; Rebecca Philpott, who m(1) Mr. Thomas < 1679, and m(11) Josiah Pitt < 1688; and Margaret Philpott, who m. Samuel Bonum, Sr., < 1670. John Powell d. < 1668, leaving a nuncupative will which was not probated until 1679, and which is not to be found. The plaintiffs in this suit produced the will of John Powell and asked that Samuel Bonum, Sr., be admitted as a witness thereto. The Court denied the application, and Samuel Bonum, Sr., was ordered to pay William Payne for his unjust molestation.

The land involved was on Bonum's Creek, later called Journeau's, or Rotank's.

On the answer to the question as to how William Payne came into possession of this land hangs the identity of his first wife. 1670 Mr. William Clements signed a marriage contract with Mrs. Frances Powell, widow of John Powell, whom he was about to marry. Mr. Clement's will was recorded 1688/9 in We. Co. by John son of Henry Clements of Torrington, Devonshire, England. In the meanwhile the said Frances had m(111) William Payne, who thus came into possession of the 150 acre patent, which was not recorded in We. Co. until about 1712.

Mrs. Rebecca Thomas had a dau. Rebecca who m. James Orchard. Samuel Bonum, Sr., had Sarah, Thomas, Margaret who m. William Rust, and Rebecca who m. Captain George Eskridge. In 1698 shortly after William Payne's death Mrs. Orchard, Mrs. Rust, Samuel and Thomas Bonum sold to George Eskridge the said “150 a. in Yeocomico, formerly in the occupation of William Clements and late of William Paine, both deceased", which John Powell devised "to Joanna his then wife", and after her decease to the children of his two step-daughters. The land continued, however, in the Payne family.

William Payne's widow m(11) Capt. Daniel McCarty, who continued to possess the disputed land. Capt. Eskridge instituted proceedings to oust Capt. McCarty. The case was submitted to "King Carter", who decided that McCarty was to keep the land and pay Eskridge £ 34. It seems quite conclusive, therefore, that John Powell m(11) said Frances after making the unwritten will above referred to. She probably died about 1690.

Throughout these records William Payne is referred to as Mr., Gentleman, or merchant of Yeocomico Neck. In the above law suit his attorney was Mr. Robert Brent. 1692 he proved the will of Mr. Richard Sturman, father of John Sturman who m. Mr. Payne's daughter. 1694 he applied to build a mill on Bonum's Creek, saying that he had land thereon "of his own inheritance" ; Mr. Gawin Corbin owned on the opposite side of the creek. 1696 Humphrey, Lawrence, and John Pope, sons of Mr. Humphrey Pope, deceased, of We. Co. chose Mr. William Payne, merchant, of Yeocomico as their guardian. The Court ordered Mr. Payne to collect the debts due the 5 orphans of Mr. Pope. 27 Jany 1696/7 he took the oath as Justice. In the same year he was ordered to take the tithables for the lower end of Cople Parish.

1697 Jeremiah Jadwin, Justice, died, leaving a negro to his god-daughter Anne Payne, dau. of William Payne of Yeocomico Neck. 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 We. Co. (V.M.-1/30). His will referred to money that he had on deposit in Newcastle. It also provided that he was to be interred at the discretion of his executors (his minor children Anne and William) and the guardian of his children—his "loving friend Col. Richard Lee of Lower Machoticque".

William Payne's home lay on the S.E. side of Bonum's Creek and near the head thereof, not far from Tucker Hill, and therefore less than one mile from Yeocomico Church, where he was doubtless buried. Here too his widow was buried; her grave is marked. "The first church, a frame structure, was built 1655 on the land of John Powell, in Chicacoan Parish. John Powell was a member of the first Vestry." (Eubank). "When the church, the present one, was rebuilt of brick in 1706, the John Powell plantation was in possession of Capt. Daniel McCarty, who had acquired the plantation by marriage with the widow of William Payne, Gent., planter, merchant, and miller at Tucker Hill." (We. Co. Assn.) The list of those who worshipped at Yeocomico Church between 1655 and 1706 includes the names of William Payne and Daniel McCarty. (Va. Colonial Churches )

Mrs. Elizabeth (Pope) Payne-McCarty was the oldest daughter of Col. Humphrey Pope of We. and w. Elizabeth, dau, of Richard Hawkins. Col. Pope d. 1684. Beside the four children named above he had Jemima, who m. Nicholas Minor. Col. Pope's widow m(11) Richard Youell < 1687; she m(111) Patrick Muckleroy < 1691. Her will dated 1717 (1718) We. Co. left bequests to the daus. of her son Lawrence Pope and w. Jemima, and to the children of her son Harmon Youell and w. Dinah.

Capt. Daniel McCarty was son of Dennis McCarty of Ri. Co. and w. Elizabeth Billington. He m(1) Mrs. William Payne 19 Oct 1699; he m(11) Mrs. Ann Fitzhugh, widow of William Fitzhugh, and dau. of Richard Lee and w. Lettice Corbin. Capt. McCarty d. 4 May 1724 at age of 45, leaving a will naming his children by both marriages and his step-son William Payne. (H-86) His son Dennis m. 1724 Sarah Ball, whose brother George Ball, son of Capt. William Ball of Lc., m. 1735 Judith, dau. of William Payne of Lc. (D-IV-I).

Capt. Daniel McCarty was a sheriff, Justice, Burgess, and Speaker of the House of Burgesses 1715. He was buried in Yeocomico Churchyard; his grave is marked. His epitaph reads in part—"He was endowed with many virtues and good qualifications, but the actions proceeding from them bespeak their praise.” Mrs. Payne- McCarty's tomb is alongside. Her gravestone was discovered 1907 heneath the tomb of Capt. McCarty while the latter was being repaired. It is badly defaced and broken. I have attempted to supply the lacunae as follows, the parts in parentheses being mine—“(Here liet)h the body of Elizabeth (daught)er of Humphrey Pope, Gentle- man, by (Elizabeth) his wife, first the wife of (William Pay)ne, Gentleman, to whom sh(e bore two sons and two daughters, and last (tly 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." I think she d. 1716. By his m(1) Mr. Payne had i child-Anne (1). By his m(1) he had 4 children-William (2), Edward (3), Elizabeth (4), and Mary (5).

GENERATION II

3. WILLIAM (s. A-I-I) born < 1652; married (l) Mrs. Frances Clements 1688 in Westmoreland County; married (II) Elizabeth Pope 1691 in Westmoreland County; died Feb 1698 in Westmoreland County, leaving a will dated 31 January 1697/8 (23 Feb 1697/8); buried in Yeocomico Churchyard, Westmoreland County; grave is not marked. He was a merchant, planter, Justice, and probably ship owner. The earliest recognized Court reference to him is found in Old Rappahannock County 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 reference and the composite of the 17 traditional versions abstracted in the Introduction under the title of Genesis of the Virginia Families, particularly the 6th and l0th, taken in conjunction with the fact that the 1673 reference cannot be made to fit any other William Payne found in the 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 me after 15 years research in the matter as satisfactory proof of the identity of the said William Payne as the son of John Payne whom I call the immigrant and who is the subject of the first sketch in this history. Particularly convincing is the fact, shown by the document referred to in Version 10 and still preserved in the family, that my great-grandfather Captain William Payne (b. 1755) recognized his relationship to the Paynes of Fairfax County, near whom he lived. I lay stress on this point of the identity of the said William Payne because it is a critical one, and one that many of my readers will want expounded.

The next identified record of him is found in Westmoreland County dated 1688, when Josiah Pitt of England and wife Rebecca and Samuel Bonum, Jr., sued William Payne for possession of 150 acres that had been patented to John Powell. Plaintiffs claimed that said Powell left this land to "his then wife Joanna", and that after her death it was to go to the children of his stepdaughters Rebecca Thomas and Margaret Bonum. At the time of this suit William Payne was in possession of this land. To understand this case and its historical value as evidence of William Payne's first marriage, the following summary is presented. John and Michael Powell of Boston, Mass., settled in Westmoreland County John married Mrs. Joanna Philpott, widow of Robert Philpott, Gent., of Northumberland County, who had 3 children—Captain Thomas Philpott; Rebecca Philpott, who married (I) Mr. Thomas < 1679, and married (II) Josiah Pitt < 1688; and Margaret Philpott, who married Samuel Bonum, Sr., < 1670. John Powell died < 1668, leaving a nuncupative will which was not probated until 1679, and which is not to be found. The plaintiffs in this suit produced the will of John Powell and asked that Samuel Bonum, Sr., be admitted as a witness thereto. The Court denied the application, and Samuel Bonum, Sr., was ordered to pay William Payne for his unjust molestation. The land involved was on Bonum's Creek, later called Journeau's, or Rotank's. On the answer to the question as to how William Payne came into possession of this land hangs the identity of his first wife. 1670 Mr. William Clements signed a marriage contract with Mrs. Frances Powell, widow of John Powell, whom he was about to marry. Mr. Clement's will was recorded 1688/9 in Westmoreland County by John son of Henry Clements of Torrington, Devonshire, England. In the meanwhile the said Frances had married (III) William Payne, who thus came into possession of the 150-acre patent, which was not recorded in Westmoreland County until about 1712. Mrs. Rebecca Thomas had a daughter Rebecca who married James Orchard. Samuel Bonum, Sr., had Sarah, Thomas, Margaret who married William Rust, and Rebecca who married Captain George Eskridge. In 1698 shortly after William Payne's death Mrs. Orchard, Mrs. Rust, Samuel and Thomas Bonum sold to George Eskridge the said" 150 acres in Yeocomico, formerly in the occupation of William Clements and late of William Paine, both deceased", which John Powell devised "to Joanna his then wife", and after her decease to the children of his two step-daughters. The land continued, however, in the Payne family. William Payne's widow married (II) Captain Daniel McCarty, who continued to possess the disputed land. Captain Eskridge instituted proceedings to oust Captain McCarty. The case was submitted to "King Carter", who decided that McCarty was to keep the land and pay Eskridge £ 34. It seems quite conclusive, therefore, that John Powell married (II) said Frances after making the unwritten will above referred to. She probably died about 1690.

Throughout these records William Payne is referred to as Mr., Gentleman, or merchant of Yeocomico Neck. In the above lawsuit his attorney was Mr. Robert Brent. 1692 he proved the will of Mr. Richard Sturman, father of John Sturman who married Mr. Payne's daughter. 1694 he applied to build a mill on Bonum's Creek, saying that he had land thereon "of his own inheritance"; Mr. Gawin Corbin owned on the opposite side of the creek. 1696 Humphrey, Lawrence, and John Pope, sons of Mr. Humphrey Pope, deceased, of Westmoreland County chose Mr. William Payne, merchant of Yeocomico as their guardian. The Court ordered Mr. Payne to collect the debts due the 5 orphans of Mr. Pope. 27 January 166/7 he took the oath as Justice. In the same year he was ordered to take the tithables for the lower end of Cople Parish. 1697 Mr. Jeremiah Jadwin, Justice, died, leaving a negro to his goddaughter Anne Payne, daughter of William Payne of Yeocomico Neck.

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 Westmoreland County (Virginia Magazine of History and Biography-1/30). His will referred to money that he had on deposit in Newcastle. It also provided that he was to be interred at the discretion of his executors (his minor children Anne and William) and the guardian of his children-his "loving friend Col. Richard Lee of Lower Machoticque".

William Payne's home lay on the S.E. side of Bonum's Creek and near the head thereof, not far from Tucker Hill, and therefore less than one mile from Yeocomico Church, where he was doubtless buried. Here too his widow was buried; her grave is marked. "The first church, a frame structure, was built 1655 on the land of John Powell, in Chicacoan Parish. John Powell was a member of the first Vestry." (Eubank). "When the church, the present one, was rebuilt of brick in 1706, the John Powell plantation was in possession of Captain Daniel McCarty, who had acquired the plantation by marriage with the widow of William Payne, Gent., planter, merchant, and miller at Tucker Hill." (Westmoreland County Assn.) The list of those who worshipped at Yeacornice Church between 1655 and 1706 includes the names of William Payne and Daniel McCarty. (Virginia Colonial Churches)

Mrs. Elizabeth (Pope) Payne-McCarty was the oldest daughter of Co1. Humphrey Pope of Westmoreland County and wife Elizabeth, daughter of Richard Hawkins. Co1. Pope died 1684. Beside the four children named above he had Jemima, who married Nicholas Minor. Co1. Pope's widow married (II) Richard Youell < 1687; she married (III) Patrick Muckleroy < 1691. Her will dated 1717 (1718) Westmoreland County left bequests to the daughters of her son Lawrence Pope and wife Jemima, and to the children of her son Harmon Youell and wife Dinah. Captain Daniel McCarty was son of Dennis McCarty of Richmond County and wife Elizabeth Billington. He married (I) Mrs. William Payne 19 Oct I699; he married (II) Mrs. Ann Fitzhugh, widow of William Fitzhugh, and daughter of Richard Lee and wife Lettice Corbin. Captain McCarty died 4 May 1724 at age of 45, leaving a will naming his children by both marriages and his stepson William Payne. (H-86) His son Dennis married 1724 Sarah Ball, whose brother George Ball, son of Captain William Ball of Lancaster married 1735 Judith, daughter of William Payne of Lancaster. (D-lV-I).

Captain Daniel McCarty was a sheriff, Justice, Burgess, and Speaker of the House of Burgesses 1715. He was buried in Yeocomico Churchyard; his grave is marked. His epitaph reads in part—”He was endowed with many virtues and good qualifications, but the actions proceeding from them bespeak their praise." Mrs. Payne-McCarty's tomb is alongside. Her gravestone was discovered 1907 beneath the tomb of Captain McCarty while the latter was being repaired. It is badly defaced and broken. I have attempted to supply the lacunae as follows, the parts in parentheses being mine—” Here lieth the body of Elizabeth daughter of Humphrey Pope, Gentleman, by Elizabeth his wife, first the wife of William Payne, Gentleman, to whom she bore two sons and two daughters, and lastly of Daniel McCarty, Esq., to whom she was married 19th October 1699 and before four sons and four daughters. She was born of _______ of June 1667." I think she died I716.

By his marriage (I) Mr. Payne had 1 child—Anne (1). By his marriage (II) he had 4 children-William (2), Edward (3), Elizabeth (4), and Mary (5).

William married Elizabeth Pope in 1691 in Cople, Westmoreland, Virginia, USA. Elizabeth (daughter of Humphrey Pope, , Colonel and Elizabeth Hawkins) was born on 25 Jun 1667 in Old Rappahannock, Richmond, Virginia, USA; died on 21 Mar 1716 in Yeocomico, Westmoreland, Virginia, USA.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Baptism: 30 Sep 1677, St Andrew Hubbard, London, England

Notes:

Buried at "Red House" (Cedar Hill), now in Westmoreland County; his grave is not marked, but a bronze tablet indicates the approximate location thereof. The earliest extant, well identified record of him is dated 1653 in Lancaster County, when he bought from Francis Hobbes 940 acres on Pepetick Creek, on N.S.R.R. in that region of Lancaster County then known as Rappahannock, and which in 1656 was organized as Rappahannock County. Pepetick Creek (called Pedee and Perpertocks on current U. S. Geological Survey maps) is to-day in Westmoreland, and flows into the Rappahannock River about two and a half miles below Leedstown. Court records indicate that in 1653 he lived on Payne's Creek in Lancaster County on the West side of the Corrotoman River near what is now called Ottoman, which till recently was known as Payne's Shop. Francis Hobbes was of Isle of Wight County, for which he was Burgess in 1654. The large group of Isle of Wight personal names of this period-such as Upton, Underwood, Lawson, Thatcher, Williamson, Jennings, Travers, Vivian, Thompson, etc.,- which are found later along the Rappahannock River, points to an extensive migration in this direction, and leads to the suggestion of the origin of our family at some neighboring point along the James River.

He was a ship owner, as evidenced by the fact that in 1653 the Lancaster County Court paid him for provisioning and transporting Burgesses from Lancaster to James Town. In 1654 he was ordered by the Court to appraise the contents of Mr. Raleigh Travers's tobacco warehouse. In the same year the records show that he made a trip to England; upon his return in 1655 he moved to and occupied his plantation on Pepetick Creek, then in Lancaster County, near what is now Leedstown. This town was not founded, however, until 1742, the locality being first known as Rapphannock, and later as Bray's. In 1655 and 1656 he was appointed collector of tithes for Lancaster County.

An examination of 103 separate wills, deeds, etc., referring to him in the counties of Lancaster, Rappahannock, Middlesex and Westmoreland, and covering the period 1649-1690, clearly reveal that he was usually referred to as Mr. John Payne, and that he was a planter, carpenter, and boat owner. It does not appear that he was a ship-master, but that he owned sail-boats of considerable tonnage, which he operated at a profit, and which the Court occasionally employed. It is not improbable that he built boats of lighter draft.

Mr. John Payne owned large quantities of land at various times and places during the period of the above-mentioned including 1,500 acres at Occoquan; 1,485 acres in Caroline, called "Hazelwood" and once the home of John Taylor, Mr. Jefferson's chief lieutenant; and considerable land in the vicinity of what is now Leedstown and Pope's Creek, in addition to his holdings in Lancaster and his seated property on Pepetick Creek. Before his death he apparently disposed of all this land except that which lay on Pepetick Creek. The records of the Land Office in the Capitol at Richmond show that, between 1653 and 1666, nine patents aggregating over 5,116 acres were issued to him, of which 1,356 acres were allotted for importing 28 persons into the colony. Of this total amount granted, 3,443 acres bordered on Pepetick Creek and its branches.

John Payne had the following children - Richard (1), John (2), William (3), and George (4).

John Payne was born 1615 in England and he married Margaret?. He died in 1690 in Rappahannock Co., Virginia and was buried at "Red House" (Cedar Hill), now in Westmoreland County, Virginia. His grave iis not marked, but a bronze tablet indicates the approximate location thereof. It has been impossible to determine the maiden name of John Paye's wife margaret, and there is nothing of unquestionable value on which to hazard a guess. She first appears in the records in 1652, when land was granted for her importation: and last in 1674, when she unites with her husband in a deed. In 1655 her husband was granted land for her importation. She was possibly his second wife.

John Payne was a ship owner, as evidenced by the fact that in 1653 the Lancaster County Court paid him for provisioning and transporting Burgesses from lancaster to james Town. At this date Mr. John Payne was charged with five tithables. In 1654 Mr. John Payne was ordered by the Court to appraise the contents of Mr. Raleigh Traver's tobacco warehouse. In the same year the records show that he made a trip to England: upon his return in 1655 he moved to and occupied his plantation on Pepetick Creek, then in Lancaster County near what is now Leedstown. This town was not founded, however, until 1742.

The old family grave yard, where John Payne was undoubtedly buried, is still in use, being, until recently, surrounded by the remains of a rapidly disappearing mound, and overgrown with a dense tangle of brush, weeds, honeysuckle, and periwinkle. A description of its restoration is given in the chapter on Homes. Bishop Payne in his letter to Bishop Meade, appearing in the latter's "Old Churches and Families of Virginia", calls this old home "Red House", and says "it was immediately in rear of Bunker Hill and three miles from Leedstown. The original house has long since disappeared. The present owner of the estate is Mr. Harry W. Coates. It has been known for many years as "Cedar Hill". He bought 940 acres in 1653 in Lancaster County on Pepetick Creek, on N.S.R.R. in that region of Lancaster County then known as Rappahannock, and which in 1656 was organized as Rappahannock County. He did not occupy this land until some years later. Pepetick Creek (called Pedee and Perpertocks on current U.S. Geological Survery maps) is today in Westmoreland and flows int the Rappahannock River about two and a half miles below Leedstown.

Generation No. 2

2. WILLIAM PAYNE2 SR. (JOHN1 PAYNE) was born 1652. He married (1) MRS. FRANCE CLEMENTS 1688. He married (2) ELIZBETH POPE 1691 in Westmoreland Co., Virginia, daughter of HUMPHREY POPE and ELIZABETH. She was born June 1667, and died 1716.

Notes for WILLIAM PAYNE SR.:
Excerpts from the book "The Paynes of Virginia" by Colonel Brook Payne

WILLIAM PAYNE SR. born 1652 married Elizabeth Pope 1691 in Westmoreland County, Virginia, died in February 1698 in Westmoreland County, leaving a will dated 31 January 1697/8 (23 February 1697/8; buried in Yeocomico Churchyard, Westmoreland County; grave is not marked. He was a merchant, planter, Justice, and probably shipowner. His first wife was Mrs. Frances Clements, married in 1688 in Westmorland Co. The earliest recognized Court reference to him is found in Rappahannock County 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 reference and the composite of the 17 traditional versions abstracted in the 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 in the 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 me after 15 years research in the matter as satisfactory proof of the identity of the said William Payne as the son of John whom I call the immigrant and who is the subject of the first sketch in this history. Particularly convincing is the fact, shown by the document referred to in Version 10 and still preserved in the family, that my great-grandfather Captain William Payne (1, 1755) recognized his relationship to the Paynes of Fairfax Co. near whom he lived. I lay stress on this point of the identity of the said William Payne because it is a critical one, and one that many of my readers will want expounded.

His first wife was Mrs. Frances Powell and they had one child, Anne.

Child of WILLIAM SR. and MRS. CLEMENTS is:
3. i. ANNE3 PAYNE, b. 1689, Westmoreland Co., VA; d. 1712, Westmoreland Co., VA.

Children of WILLIAM SR. and ELIZBETH POPE are:
4. ii. WILLIAM PAYNE3 JR., b. 10 August 1692, Westmoreland Co., Virginia.
iii. EDWARD PAYNE, b. 1693, Westmoreland Co., Virginia; d. 1702.
Notes for EDWARD PAYNE:
His father's will dated 31Jany 1697, 8 referred to him as his second son, and left to him 700 acres in Stafford County adjacent to Captain Peale. Apl 1702 Daniel McCarty and wife Elizabeth (Edward's mother) applied for administration of the estate of "Edward Paine, deceased, son of William and Elizabeth Paine". the court appointed Mr Thomas Garland, Mr. Nathaniel Garland, Mr. George Eskridge, and Mr. james Orchard as Appraisers. Edward's uncle Humphrey Pope was security for the administrators. Upon Edwardd's death his land in Stafford develoved upon his brother and heir-at-law William. It lay about three miles south of what is now Fairfax court house.

5. iv. ELIZABETH PAYNE, b. 1695, Westmoreland County..
v. MARY PAYNE, b. 1697.

Notes for MARY PAYNE:
Mary Payne was born about 1697 in Westmoreland county; no record of death.

Her father's will dated 1697/8 referred to her as under 16; on reaching that age she was to receive 20,000#. the will of her step-father Daniel McCarty dated 1724 referred to her as Mary Burns, and gave her a Bible with the hope that she would make good use of it. The records of Westmoreland Co., fail to throw any light on her history, or to furnish any suggestion as to her husband's first name.

John married Margaret Payne. Margaret died in , Westmoreland, Virginia, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Humphrey Pope Sr. was born circa 1648-50 and died between Sep 1683 and Jun 1684. He married Elizabeth Hawkins daughter of Richard Hawkins and Katherine of Northumberland County Virginia and had 5 children: Elizabeth, Humphrey Jr., Lawrence, John and Mary. (They did NOT have a daughter named Jemima.)

It is now proven that Humphrey Pope Sr. was NOT the son of either Lt. Col. Nathaniel Pope and wife Lucy, OR of Col. Nathaniel's son Thomas who married Joanna. No record connects Humphrey Sr. with this other Pope family. If some degree of kinship existed, it has not yet been discovered.

HUMPHREY POPE AND HIS DESCENDANTS.
Humphrey Pope appears as surety on a bond of John Quisenberry in Rappahannock (now Richmond) county, dated May 12, 1656. He obtained deed from Thomas Pope for 150 acres near the Clifts in Westmoreland county, February 2, 1659.

He married Elizabeth, daughter and heir-at-law of Richard Hawkins, as shown by the Westmoreland records. He died about 1695, leaving a will which, however, is not to be found. His children were 1 Lawrence, 2 Humphrey, 3 John, 4 a daughter who married (a) William Payne, of Yeocomico, and (b) Daniel McCarty; 5 Je-
mima, who married Nicholas Minor, and had four sons and a daughter, viz., William Stewart, John, Stewart, Nicholas and Elizabeth Wherret.

Lawrence, eldest son of Humphrey and Elizabeth Pope, married Jemima , relict of John Spence, and daughter of Thomas Waddy, of Northumberland. He lived in Washington Parish, in Westmoreland, and died there. His will was recorded March 2, 1723. His wife was made his executrix, and his estate was large. His children were, 1 Humphrey, 2 Thomas, 3 John, 4 Jemima, 5 Anne, 6 Mary, 7 Penelope, 8 Catherine.

Humphrey, second son of Humphrey and Elizabeth Pope,
names his mother in a deed to Spencer for land in 1719; makes deed to his brother John in 1704 jointly with his wife "Amey." His will is dated January 10, 1733; probated October 29, 1734. This will names wife "Mary," apparently implying a second marriage. He married, first, Amey, "eldest daughter of Morris Veale." His children were 1 Anne, who married Conditt; 2 Sophia, married Muse; 3 Humphrey, 4 John, 5 Sarah, 6 Mary, married William Muse.

John Pope, third son of Humphrey and Elizabeth (Hawkins), died in 1722 without a will. His widow Elizabeth married, secondly, Christopher Mothershead. An inventory of his estate was rendered in 1722.

Humphrey Pope, son of Lawrence and Jemima, married Anne, who signed deed with him to Samuel Damonville, June 29, 1736. His estate was divided 1744. His children were, 1 Sarah (chose William Muse as guardian), 2 Humphrey (chose Thomas Clayter as guardian), 3 Mary (chose Nicholas Minor as guardian), 4 John (chose William Muse as guardian).

Thomas Pope, son of Lawrence and Jemima, died in Westmoreland in 1741. (Will dated February 23, 1741; probated March 8, 1741.)

His relict, Mary (Heath) Pope, married, second, William Tebbs, of Prince William county.

John Pope, son of Lawrence and Jemima, gave deed October 27, 1738, to Thomas Shaw for land devised to him by his "father Lawrence Pope."

His children were, 1 John, 2 Lawrence, 3 Anne ("Nancy"), who married Tiffey, and had sons Pope, John and William.

Humphrey Pope, son of Humphrey and Anne (Veale) Pope, lived in Washington Parish. His will was dated August 9, 1759; probated May 27, 1760. He appointed his "loving wife Sarah whole and sole executrix." She was daughter-in-law to Daniel Higdon, and it seems probable, daughter of Nathaniel Pope, whose relict, Margaret, married the said Higdon. This Nathaniel Pope, of whom records are sadly lacking, was most likely a son of Nathaniel and Jane (Brown) Pope, whose name
has not hitherto appeared in the list of their children. ("An inventory of the sundry goods and chattels paid to Margaret Higdon, the relict of Nathaniel Pope, deceased, by the executors of Daniel Higdon, deceased, pursuant to an order of court, bearing date 28th November, 1739, in lieu of £32, 16, 4, due from the said Higdon's estate to the child of the said Nathaniel Pope, deceased." — Extract from Westmoreland Records.)

Lawrence, son of John and Sarah Mothershead Pope, was born 1740; died July 31, 1810; will probated in Westmoreland August 27, 1810. He married, first, Jane, daughter of Humphrey Quisenberry. Query : Was she at the time of this marriage a young widow Payne?) By this union he had 1 Austin, 2 Fanny, who married December 3, 1790, Eev. William Edwards. Lawrence Pope married, secondly, Frances Carter, and had 3 Jane Carter (born September 25, 1791.) His third wife was Mrs. Penelope Vigar, relict of Jacob Vigar, and daughter of Nicholas Quisenberry, by whom he had 4 Sukey, 5 Caty, 6 Lawrence Berry, 7 Elliot, 8 John ; went to New York in 1834, and was never heard from afterwards; 9 Sarah.

George and Jane (Pope) Quisenberry had also Austin, who removed to Missouri; lived at La Grange, Mo., and had three children, Martha, Catherine and Augustine; William Augustine (never married), Catherine, married William B. Marmaduke, and had William C. and Joseph; Pope, who never married.
