Phyllis, I have missed part of the email string on the DNA testing as I wasn't interested until you mentioned this line. I believe I am related to this line but can't prove it. If you have done research, I was wondering if you have heard of a Silas Payne, born abt. 1820 in Virginia. Lived in Franklin/Roanoke Co, Va. I can't determine who his father/mother are but we believe him to be related to Isham Payne, a descendent of the Joseph Payne line. Also, I was wondering if there was a way to link our family through this DNA project if Joseph Payne descendents participated. Any thoughts or comments? Thanks. Virginia Payne
