    1. [NJCAMDEN-L] PAYNE--from London 1870's
    2. Good Morning Everyone, I have been researching my great grandmother Sarah Ann PAYNE, born in London in 1856-58. Until last year, we thought she had come to NJ as a young widow (between 1881-1886) with two little girls and no other family. In 1886 she married my great grandfather James Corbett BROWNE in Camden. Last summer I found her parents, James PAYNE and Charlotte JOHNSON buried with her in Monument Cemetery in Burlington County.(no stone!) Charlotte died in 1895, but I have since found James in records in Camden and Gloucester Counties, he died in 1907. I had a lucky break last week and found that many members of the PAYNE family came over and settled in Camden in the 1870's. I have only been to Trenton once since then but so far have: William PAYNE--born 1828 in England, wife Sarah, he owned a shoe manufacturing business in Camden. He is in the 1900 census, have not tied down a death date yet. I believe he is the older brother of James PAYNE, father of Sarah Ann. Clifford PAYNE--wife Julia, born 1856 England, children--Arthur, Gertrude, Ethel and William,I believe he may be a son of William born 1828, also shoemaker Arthur PAYNE--brother to Clifford, wife Katie, born England 1860, children-- Leslie(male), Pearl(married Orrin SPRANGLER), also a shoemaker James G. PAYNE--son of James and Charlotte, born 1871 England, wife Anna Jane SUITERS, shoe cutter Frederick J. PAYNE--son of James and Charlotte, born 1866 England, wife Ida V. DEANE, children--Lillian, shoe cutter Jennie PAYNE--a witness in 1891 to the marriage if James G. PAYNE so I believe she may be a sister, not listed in the 1900 census so she may have married or died by then Sorry for the length of this but I would love to make contact with any of my PAYNE cousins and share research. Also possibly in Camden Co were Sarah Ann's daughters by her first marriage--Caroline Charlotte(Carrie) LEE and Maud Lillian LEE. I believe Carrie married Harry BALMER and Maud married Walter(?) COMPTON. Thanks for any help! Kathy
