Fellow Payne researchers-- Are any of you researching the Reuben Payne family of Orange Co., VA? The reason I ask is that it is increasingly apparent to me that Col. Payne's reconstruction of this family in the Paynes of Virginia is seriously flawed. For example, a comparison of the Orange Co. and Rockingham Co. Marriage volumes by Vogt & Kegley reveal at least one daughter unknown to Col. Payne. Second, William Harrison Payne, considered by Col. Payne to have been the eldest child and to have been born about 1776, is consistently tracked in the various census records of Rockingham Co. as having been born about 1791. This is not to criticize Col. Payne and I know that Vogt & Kegley's books also contain errors. My interest is simply to accurately reconstruct this family. Can anyone help? Thank you.
