Author: rpaynegen Surnames: Payne, Daulton Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.northcarolina.counties.rowan/3494.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: John Payne and Isaac Payne. Jr., sons of Isaac Payne, Sr. and Sarah Daulton I have been concerned about some of the inconsistencies and incorrect information I have seen on the two sons of Isaac Payne, Sr. and Sarah Daulton named above. I found research conducted by Sam Payne in Caroline Co. MD < http://www.r-rfha.com/2004/June2004p4.htm> which gives answers to some of the concerns I had. Basically, Sam found an Isaac and John Payne serving in militia during Rev. War in Caroline Co., MD, John Payne marrying an Elizabeth Porter (Parker) in 1778, and two John's and two Isaac's in 1783 Tax Assessment. The 1790 Caroline Co. Census shows only Isaac, Sarah and John so Isaac, Sr. is probably deceased by this time. In 1791 there is a record of sale of livestock and household goods from Isaac, Sr. to Isaac, Jr. and a James. (This may be an estate sale after death of Sarah.) The families are gone from Caroline Co. MD records after this. In the 1800 Rowan Co. NC Census both Isaac and John are listed with children who match the 1790 Census. In May 1801 John Payne is listed as administrator of estate of an Isaac Payne. The 1810 Census does not show an Isaac Payne, but it does show a Nelly Payne who is usually reported to be the wife of Isaac Payne, Jr. (Isaac who married Jane Regan in 1806 is a son of Isaac or John.) John is also gone from Rowan County NC in 1810, but reappears in Smith County, TN. >From the above information we can see there was an Isaac Payne, Sr., a Sarah Payne, an Isaac Payne, Jr. and a John Payne in Caroline Co. MD in 1770's 1780's and 1790's. By 1800 it appears Isaac Payne, Sr. and Sarah are deceased with Isaac and John joining other brothers in Rowan Co. NC. Apparently, Isaac Payne, Jr . died there in 1801. Most genealogist claim the John Payne who is the son of Isaac Payne and Sarah Daulton died in Rowan Co. NC in 1784 leaving a wife, Margaret Sutterfield and four children. On the Internet there are listings of this John Payne in 1760s and 1770's in NC with a list of his children born in NC in the 1770's and 1780's. There is nothing to tie them to MD or to Isaac Payne, Sr. and Sarah Daulton. It is very obvious this is a different John Payne. The above information links the John Payne who married Elizabeth to Caroline Co. MD and possibly to Isaac and Sarah. Since most genealogist think John died in 1784 and knew the names of the children in his will, a problem came up with a number of Payne sons in NC. I have seen seven sons attributed to Isaac Payne, Jr. and his wife, Nelly, born between 1775 and 1800. Again Sam Payne's research helps to answer this question. In the 1790 Caroline Co. MD Census Isaac is shown with one son born between 1775 and 1790 with two possible sons before 1775. John is shown with five sons born between 1775 and 1790. The 1800 Rowan County NC Census shows Isaac with one son 1784 to 1775 and two sons 1774 to 1755. (This matches 1790 information.). John is shown with three sons 1791 to 1800, three sons 1785 to 1790, 2 two sons 1784 to 1775. I think some genealogist need to take another look at who their ancestors are. With eight possible sons born to John, but not recognized, I think there are a lot of errors out there. With only one son born between 1775 and 1790, many of Isaac Payne, Jr.'s listed so! ns I think are really John's. Using this and other information I have been able to track John Payne (and some of his sons and a grandson) from 1770's Caroline, MD to Rowan, NC to Smith., TN to Boone, MO in 1818. I do not think many of the sons listed for John are his sons--Ballenger, Archibald or Moses U. for example (They just happened to be in Boone County, MO. The James listed is his grandson, my g grandfather.)--but rather, his sons are the ones usually assigned to Isaac, Jr. I would appreciate any comments.

Author: CindyMcC Surnames: Trotter Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.northcarolina.counties.rowan/12349/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Source: General Assembly Session Records, November-December 1812, Box 4, North Carolina State Archives, Raleigh, NC State of North Carolina Rowan County The second examination of Jack confined in prison under the charge of burning and robbing the dwelling of Richard Trotter Esquire deceased. One day his mistress set him to work in the garden along with Tom in the week after his master died, while they were in the garden Tom said he wanted a dram very bad and wished he could get into the cellar to get some liquor. Jack told Tom they might get into the cellar and get liquor if they would keep it to themselves. The week following when Jack was repairing the Barn floor, Tom came to him in Jack's Shop a while after dinner time and proposed to Jack to go into the cellar and fix the way to get into the inside cellar for the purpose of getting liquor, upon which both of them went into the outside cellar. Most of Jack's carpenters tools were kept in the outside part of the cellar-when they were there Tom watched, and jack with a compass saw cut two of the railings next to the hinges of the open work in the upper side of the under part of the door which opens into the inside cellar. After cutting the upper part of the two railings so that they would slip out, Jack made wedges and fixed them in again which was all they did at that time. While Tom watched, he stood on the inside of the outer door of the cellar, and if any one approached, Tom was to come towards where Jack was at the inside door as a signal. During this time, there was no white person about the house, the ladies of the family having gone over with Mrs. M. A. (or N. ?) Locke to Hunters that afternoon. When the two railing of the door were cut and taken out, it made an opening of about eight inches across. It took very little time to fix, the door, the pieces, called railings were about one inch by inch and qu! arter. After leaving the cellar, Jack eat his dinner and went to work again at the Barn, (p. 2) and Tom went round the house Jack does not know where. The ladies did not return from the other place until some time after Jack had returned to the Barn. It was late in the evening. Nobody but Tom knew any thing about the plan of opening and robbing the cellar. The night of the same day the two bars were cut it was their intention to have gotten liquor out of the cellar; but Mr. Moses A. Locke came there to stay all night and Tom and Jack concluded it would not be safe, to go in, and that they would postpone it until some other time. Next night after Mr. Locke was there, they both went in and found the opening made by cutting two bars was rather tight, but both Tom and Jack got in with some difficulty. Tom drew the cock out of the rum hogshead and let about three quarts run into a copper kettle. The kettle was too large to go in one way-but by turning it edgeways it went in. They had to pour the liquor into the half gallon measure, and from it into Toms keg which they had left in the outer part of the cellar, it being too large to go through the opening made in the door. The only light they had with them that night in the cellar was a candle which Tom had made out of beeswax and blacking ball. The candle was about five inches long, and about the size of a man's little finger. Besides the rum which they took that night, Tom filled a common black bottle with wine out of a Demijohn which was in the cellar. Does not know what Tom did with it. Saw him have it at the stable next morning where they divi! ded the rum. Tom took a bottle full, and Jack a bottle full. Tom kept the remainder of the rum in the keg. Tom had two bottles of his own and one which he had borrowed some time before of Negro woman Sal. Tom let Jack have Sal's bottle to put the rum in next morning when they divided it at the stable. Jack understood from Tom that he took his bottle of rum to Town that he had offered some rum to his wife, but she would not drink it. When Tom took the bottle of wine, he said that he wanted it for his family's use. Jack thinks Mr. Moses A. Locke (p. 3) staid at his mistresses house on Thursday night, and that it was the next night (Friday night) they first went into the cellar and got out the rum and the bottle of wine as above stated; and that Tom took his part to Town the next night, which was Saturday night. On the day Mrs. Trotter and Miss Polly went to a Funeral believes it was Mrs. Mull's funeral, Tom went with the ladies. Jack was at work in the woods when they started. Came to the house about early dinner time. No white person there. Sal was in her own house. Nobody was at the kitchen but some children. After staying at the kitchen a little while, not half an hour, jack went alone into the outside part of the cellar and cut the third bar of the inside door and wedged it in the same manner as he had done the other two. Did nothing else at that time. Came out and went to the kitchen. Got his dinner and eat it there. Sale was at her own house all the time Jack was in th! e cellar. After he came out, Sal came to the kitchen and gave him his dinner. Immediately after eating his dinner, Jack went to the woods again to his work. As near as he can recollect, jack thinks that on the Monday morning after Mrs. Mulls funeral while the family were at breakfast in the house, Tom came to Jack's shop while he was putting away some plank and proposed to get some liquor out of the cellar while the family were at breakfast. Tom said there was no danger. Both went into the outside cellar and after removing the bars which had been cut and wedged, jack went into the inside part of the cellar to get liquor, and Tom put up the bars again and stood by the inside of the outer door to watch. Jack was in the liquor cellar but a short space of time, drew a common black bottle of whiskey (a cock being in the barrel) and came out. Did nothing more than fix up the bars again, and left the cellar immediately. Does not think they were more than five minutes in the cellar at this time. After taking a dram a piece out of the bottle, Tom hid it among some rails which were in the outer part of the cellar. Tom was working about the house that day, and jack in the woods, when Jack came home to his dinner, and for water in the course of (p. 4) of (sic) the day, they went to the bottle of whisky as it suited them. They had drank better than half of it, when Tom brought it out about dark, and gave it to Jack at the blocks near the kitchen. Jack took it to his shop, and Tom came there that night, and they drank it all between them, except about as much as would be a dram for next morning. In the forenoon of next day (Tuesday) Mrs. Moore, Dr. Moore's lady came to visit the family, and the same day, he thinks Mr. George Gibson came there also, a little before dinner. Mrs. MaCoy had been there from the Saturday to the Monday evening before. In the morning of this day (Tuesday), Tom came to Jack's shop and they agreed to go into the cellar that night for the purpose of getting a keg of rum. Jack was working near the road which leads to town in the afternoon of that day. About one hour and half by sun, Tom started after his cows and called where Jack was at work, and told him that he had to go to Town that evening with Mrs. Moore, that they could not go into the cellar that night but he had another keg in town which he would bring out with him, and that they would (could?) go in next night and get a keg of whis! key and a keg of rum. Jack did not see Tom again that night-understood he had gone to town with Mrs. Moore and did not return until next morning. Did not bring his other keg, and assigned as a reason that his mother in law was very particular and wanted to know what he intended to do with it. At the time of this conversation on Wednesday morning they agreed to go in that night and get a keg of rum; but were prevented by thunder and rain that night, and by Negro Harry coming there, and sleeping with Tom in the kitchen that night. Harry came to the kitchen that night about dark, and Jack staid with them at the kitchen until after the storm. Does not know whether Harry was awake when he went away or not. Is sure Harry knew he was there when Harry laid down. Jack and Harry talked together after Harry laid down. Nothing passed between jack and Tom, about not going into the cellar until next morning; that is Thursday morning, when Tom came to jack's shop0 very early, and said we have nothing to drink this morning and added that it would not do to go in when Harry was there and (p. 5) when it thundered. Before they parted it was agreed that they would go in that coming night. A little while before dinner when Jack came in from the woods to get water, saw Tom at the stable feeding the horses. Jack went to the still house spring, as he returned from the spring, stopped at the stable, very little passed between them. Tom wanted to know if jack could not get some thing else to hold liquor in besides the keg. Jack told him he could not, and returned to his work in the woods not far from the machine house. About an hour afterwards, jack came to his dinner at the kitchen. Tom was at the kitchen. Both eat their dinners at the same time. During their dinner Sal was there, and Dicey and Phillis came there and went away again. As soon as jack was done his dinner, he went to his work, and left Tom at the kitchen. Did not see Tom again until near sun down when he was bringing the cows home. Nothing passed at that time. About dark Jack was in the kitchen and Miss Polly came there and enquired for Tom. Said she wanted to send him to town. She was afraid something was the matter with some of her brother's family. She sent Louisa to hunt Tom and tell him that she wanted him. This was a little after dark. A little while after Tom came to the kitchen, and Louisa came there, and she and the other Negroes, he thinks there were others there besides Jack and Louisa. Thinks that either Sal or Sarah was there, but is certain Jack and Louisa both told Tom that Miss Polly wanted him to go to town. Is certain also that Sal gave jack his supper that night, and that he was eating it when Tom came in, and unless Sal went out of the kitchen directly after giving him his supper, Sal must have seen him. When they told Tom that Miss Polly wanted him, he said he did not wish to go to town that night. He intended to go Friday night, and that Louisa must tell Miss Polly that she did not see him. He (Tom! ) staid a little while in the kitchen and Miss Polly came again to the kitchen door and asked Louisa if she had seen Tom. Louisa said no, upon which Tom went out of the back door of the kitchen, and Jack found him in about a quarter (p. 6) of an hour at his shop. Tom said he did not want to go to town that night. He would hide himself as that was the night they were to go into the cellar. Tom went out of the shop, Jack does not know where. Saw nothing of him again until the last part of the night. Jack laid down on his bed with his cloaths on, and was lying asleep there when Tom came. Tom awoke him, and proposed to go then into the cellar. Jack said it was too near day, Negro Sal might perhaps be awake. Tom said let us go and get a little any how. Jack then arose, and they went to the kitchen together. Jack staid in the kitchen alone while Tom went to the Stable for the keg. When Tom came from the stable with the keg, Jack too it, and one bottle, and Tom took another bottle and a coal of fire on the shovel which belonged to the kitchen, and the key of the outside door of the cellar which had been left in the kitchen. Tom unlocked the outside door, and after they were both in he shut it again and lighted one of the two black candles which he had within a few feet of the outer door on the right hand side as you go in. The two candles which he had were about six inches each in length and a little larger than the one he formerly had. He thinks Tom left the shovel where he lighted the candle. Jack is sure he heard Tom ask Sal and Sarah for Beeswack about three or four days before but did not tell them what he wanted with it. Tom's reasons for preferring wax candles was that they did not give as bright a light at a distance. After lighting the candle and opening the inside door by removing the wedges and bars which they did together, Tom went into the liquor room with the candle, and told jack to go outside of the cellar to see what kind of light the candle gave in the yard of the house. Jack went round the house. The light of the candle was not great, but it was sufficient to be observ! ed if any one had been about. When Jack entered the liquor room, he found Tom as he had left him there, and Jack began to bore a hole into the side of a rum Hoggshead with an inch screw augur which he had taken with him from his shop for the purpose. (p. 7) While Jack bored, Tom held the candle, and when the liquor (rum) began to run, jack put a faucet into the hole and let it run into a copper kettle which they intended to fill, and afterwards empty it into a keg, supposes the kettle held about a gallon and an half the keg about three gallons. When the kettle had become full, it was moved out of the way and the keg was placed under the faucet with a small funnel in the bung for the liquor to run into. The funnel belonged to the cellar. The hole was bored about the middle of the Hoggshead, the end of the faucet as the liquor run touched the funnel, the keg was on the ground. When they had got as much rum in the keg as they wanted, and jack was about to stop it, he observed the liquor burning on the funnel and it seemed as if the outside of the deg was on fire. Tom, who had been holding the candle, picked up the keg and let it fall again, and told Jack to pick it up and run out with it which he did. As soon as he had stopped the end of the faucet, he ran with the keg into the kitchen, and by the time he got there the keg quit burning. After it quit burning, he set the keg at the end of the kitchen outside. After leaving the keg, he ran to the outside door of the cellar and looking in found there was a conside! rable blaze in the liquor room, upon which he went to the kitchen and got the water pale with what water was in it which he carried into the cellar and met Tom at the outside door coming out. Tom said, the whole cellar is on fire, and it is your best way jack to clear out. Does not recollect whether Tom had anything in his hands, the kettle full of rum first drawn he supposes was left in the liquor cellar. After meeting Tom, Jack carried the pale to the door of the inner cellar, and found the pale was too large to go through the opening cut in the door, threw in a goard of water on the burning liquor, and thought it made it blaze worse. The blaze was then about two yards square-looked very bad-but thinks it might have been save if there had been hands enough. (p. 8) While Jack was in the liquor cellar, Tom came to the door and urged him to come out and run away or he would be hung. Jack said will you go Tom? Tom answered no, he was not ready. You Jack have a pass and your cloths ready, you may go. Jack then came out, and told Tom to go and wake his mistress. Tom said he would. Jack says he screamed aloud three times, and went to his shop, got his cloaths and started. Was at the stable when he heard his Miss Polly screaming. Not a spark of fire in the outside cellar when he started. Could not have seen a man across the yard. Before Jack went to the shop to get his things to runaway, he moved the keg of rum from the end of the kitchen to some shingles near the fence. Had got about four miles before day broke. Walked very fast-sometimes run. On Thursday the day of the fire, tom said that they would get some sugar out of a barrel in the cellar. Jack said it would not do. It would be missed. Tom said six inches of it ! might be taken out of one end and headed up again, so that it would never be missed. Jack said if they wanted sugar it would be better to get it out of the garret. Tom pointed to some pieces of an old ladder. Jack said it is of no account. Tom told jack that he had taken spirits out of the cellar many times while his master was alive. When he was salting meat and doing other things. Jack went into the kitchen before he started to run away, and got some of his cloaths which were there in a basket. Thinks he took the water pail from the cellar with him. Was a very little time before he started. Before he got to the stable, he heard a particular part of the House he as at. Acknowledges he said one day at the still house in presence of Rogers and Tom that he had a paper which would carry him all over the world, and would run away if they did not allow him to go and see his wife, or upon the first affront. After tom went out of the back door of the kitchen to afaid being seen by Miss Polly as above stated, Jack conversed with Sal. Requested her if she did not see Tom (p. 9) that night to leave the key of the kitchen where he Jack might get it in case he should want it. She said that she would and nothing else passed. He requested Sal to do this because he knew Tom would be there and would want it.
