Folks: Temperance Payne was the daughter of Robert and Rachel Lord Paine of Burke Co., NC. I have information on the children of her son Absalom Christfield Austin, but nothing about the families of her son John Austin or her daughter Mary Austin. If anyone has anything on them or their families, please let me hear from you. This is a draft, so if anyone has any comments, additions, and/or corrections, please let me know.
