I am in GA and searching for my great grandfather's brother, Thomas Jefferson Payne, born circa 1858 in Cherokee Co., NC. He is listed with his mother Rebecca Payne born circa 1837 in Knox Co. Ky. The younger son was my great grandfather, James Oliver Payne born circa 1860. Thomas J. Payne was believed to have died in Artemus, KY. In the 1880 census of Cherokee Co. NC. Thomas is listed with his wife Jane and daughter Martha (?).
