I am researching a David Payne (1754 - 1815). He appears in the 1790 Amenia census not far from Barnabas Paine. David bought some property and finally settled in what was then Chenango, Tioga which later became Windsor, Broome. Daivd's heirs were involved in a property transaction with Barnabas Payne in the late 1830's. At that time Barnabas was in Northeast, Dutchess. I have tried to see if my David might be connected to any of the Dutchess Paynes but have not been successful. Thanks Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
