Now you have my head spinning! The children think its funny to watch mama plot these types of things on the dry erase board, until it makes sense and I put it to paper. Q: are they related/descendents of THE Benjamin Payne that married Charlotte Norris?? That is the link I was looking for, sigh. You really are something with all these land records, are you having fun? Isn't it like a puzzle, except I'm really not doing anything to solve it? Kudos, to you, for all your hard work!
