Ky.  Parents  Richard Payne b. bef 1734 SMC and Pricilla Wimsatt.   I am interested in is what is the source of proof that Charles Payne b. 1705 d. 1753 was the father of Richard.  I see you have Richard listed as the Admin/Ex of Charles' estate but I am uncertain if this is proof that he was his son.   I would also be interested in any other info you may have on Richard, father of Francis.   I appreciate your time and attention.   Alfred Thomas Louisville, Ky.
