  1. 8.  John Payne was born in 1615 in , , , England; died in Jan 1690 in , Westmoreland, Virginia, USA; was buried in Cedar Hill, Westmoreland, Virginia, USA.

    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).

    Notes for JOHN PAYNE:

    Excerpts from the book: THE PAYNES of VIRGINIA

    SECOND EDITION
    C J. Carrier Company
    Harrisonburg, Virginia 1977


    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:

    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.
