Dear List, Does anyone know if there are any published lists available giving information on priests in Southoe? I am searching for any details on the family of Rev. John Payne who married Anna Underhill? of Hail Weston and had daughter Anne (d. 1 Sep 1668 Guilford, Connecticut), who married 1 Aug 1636, William Leete (1612/1613-Apr 1683) of Toseland Hundred. William was the son of John Leete and Anne Shute of Medloe, Doddington, and he later became Governor of the New Haven, Ct. colony. A son of Gov. William and Anne (Payne) Leete, married into a family closely associated with the Paynes of nearby Bury St. Edmunds and Hengrave, Suffolk. I am trying to see if there might be some relation to the following John Payne: E 134/24Chas2/Mich26 John Payne v. Job Perratt: Manor and market of St. Neots (Hunts), lately belonging to the Earl of Sandwich, and the borough of Gumocester alias Godmanchester, parcel of the duchy of Lancaster. Tolls of market. Customs of manor, &c., &c.: Hunts 24 Chas 2 E 134/24&25Chas2/Hil9 John Payne v. Job Parrat: Town, manor, and market of St. Neots, and the borough of Gumocester alias Godmanchester. Whether the borough is parcel of the ancient demesne of England and now annexed to the duchy of Lancaster, and the tenants free of all manne 24 & 25 Chas 2 This last John Payne appears to have been connected to the family of Sir Robert Payne of Medloe and St. Neots, MP for the shire 1617-abt. 1625, whose family had leased the manor and market of St. Neots during the 16th century and maintained their interest there until 1672. The record above appears to be a suit in connection with that interest. Sir Robert's family were also active in Southoe. Any recommendations or information on these families would be appreciated. Regards, Patrick Payne
