I am looking for information on my great grandfather, William Thomas Payne, born 27 Jan 1863. I do not know if he was born in TX or KY, but he supposedly "came from Whitewright, TX" and died in Barren Co., KY on 20 April 1929 He married Mollie E. Simmons, who was born 21 July 1866 (probably in Barren Co, KY) and died 23 Sept 1899 of TB. They had at least the following children: twin boys born 12April1894 on a farm in Temple Hill near Glasgow in Barren Co.,KY- James Rollie (d 9April1938, Louisville,KY at age 44 and worked for the railroad) and Roy Benjamin (d.12June1973, Lexington,KY and i think he was a tobacco auctioneer) Both twins served in WWI with others from Barren Co, in think in France. twin girls Reba and Ruby, now deceased (Reba married a Ford and had at least one child- Marie Ford who married Joe Burns) another daughter, Beulah (1891-1893) another daughter possibly buried in Indiana, and perhaps other children unknown to me. After the death of his wife, Mollie E. Simmons, William Thomas Payne married Nora______. I do not know how many children they had, but i think they had at least one daughter named or called Willie (my father referred to her as "Aunt Willie") who died a couple of years ago in KY i believe. I suspect that William Thomas Payne might have gone to TX from KY and then returned to KY, but i do not know. I am requesting death certificates for William Thomas Payne and his twin sons, James Rollie and Roy Benjamin. Since Mollie E. Simmons died before 1911, there will not be one for her. I am also requesting the social security application for my grandfather's twin, Roy Benjamin Payne, and for a search of SS records for James Rollie Payne, though he died in 1938 at age 44 and I am not sure that there will be any SS records. I am new at this and any information and advice will be most welcome. Patti Ann Payne Lockhart, TX
