In trying to figure out which Moses Payne I'm descended from, I've checked the family of a Moses Payne in what was the area of the Pendleton District, SC, in the 1790, 1800, 1810, and 1820 censuses. I'm looking there for two reasons. One, a kind hearted fellow put those censuses on the SCGenWeb site--nothing beats looking at something that's available. Two, my Moses was in Bedford Co., TN, in the first half of the 19th century; and I've found that a Shrewsbury Payne and a Zebediah Payne bought land in Bedford Co., TN, in April 1812. Administration of the estate of Shrewsbury Payne was handled by Sally (his widow) and a Moses Payne. There may have been more than one Moses Payne in Bedford Co., TN, in 1820-1825 (the time I'm most interested in); so I'm not able to assume the adm'r Moses was a son of Shrewsbury. Shrewsbury and Zebediah Payne in Bedford Co., TN, appear to be the brothers of Thomas Payne, Jr., whose 1786 will in Franklin Co., GA, named his brothers and sister. In looking to see if their brother, Moses, was in the Franklin Co., GA, area with them (as I suspect, since he and Nathaniel were left specific bequests of land by Thomas Payne, Jr.); and if he came to Bedford Co., TN, with them; I checked those censuses of the area across the river in SC. The family of that Moses Payne appears to have had the following people, based solely on those censuses: Moses Payne, b. 1755--1774 (probably by 1765, to be 21 by 1786) His wife, b. 1774--1775 Son #1, b. 1784--1790 (gone from the household by 1820) Dau #1, b. 1784--1790 (gone by 1820) Dau's #2 thru #5, b. 1790--1800 (gone by 1820) Son #2, b. 1794--1800 Son #3, b. 1800--1802 Son #4, b. 1802--1804 Dau #6, b. 1804--1810 Dau's #7 & #8, b. 1810--1820 Has anyone identified this family? Did this Moses Payne stay in the area of the Pendleton District, SC, in the 1820's (so that he was probably not available/eligible to serve as adm'r of the estate of Shrewsbury Payne in 1820-1825 in Bedford Co., TN)? Thanks for any help, Bob Meadows

I received this a while back from Faye Jarvis Moran >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Visit the JARVIS FAMILY Homepage http://www.erols.com/fmoran Joseph, Here is some information that I found in the "Marylanders to Carolina" Moses Payne was born in 1764 "on the coast between Maryland and North Carolina" as his father (not named) was moving to North Carolina. He lived in Orange county at the time of his enlistment in the Rev War. After the war he moved to Pendelton District SC, then to Jefferson CO Ala and then to Blount Co ALA . There he applied for a pension on Marcy 30 1835. His date of death was not stated but a John Rickey was admin. of his estate and "he received final Payment on June 30 1855, which was paid to Nov. 27, 1848. His surviving children in 1844 were Isaac Payne, Nancy Richey, Cynthia McMahan, Jane Paynet and Margaret Fanley or Farley. Nehemiah Payne was born on Dec 15 1733 in Dorchester Co MD and lived in Orange Co NC at the time of his enlistment in the Rev War. After the war he lived in Greenville District, SC and in Jan 1824 moved to Hall Co GA There he applied for a pension on June 17, 1833. rmeadows <rmeadows@krl.org> wrote: > > In trying to figure out which Moses Payne I'm descended from, I've checked the > family of a Moses Payne in what was the area of the Pendleton District, SC, in > the 1790, 1800, 1810, and 1820 censuses. > > I'm looking there for two reasons.  One, a kind hearted fellow put those > censuses on the SCGenWeb site--nothing beats looking at something that's > available.  Two, my Moses was in Bedford Co., TN, in the first half of the > 19th century; and I've found that a Shrewsbury Payne and a Zebediah Payne > bought land in Bedford Co., TN, in April 1812. > > Administration of the estate of Shrewsbury Payne was handled by Sally (his > widow) and a Moses Payne.  There may have been more than one Moses Payne in > Bedford Co., TN, in 1820-1825 (the time I'm most interested in); so I'm not > able to assume the adm'r Moses was a son of Shrewsbury. > > Shrewsbury and Zebediah Payne in Bedford Co., TN, appear to be the brothers of > Thomas Payne, Jr., whose 1786 will in Franklin Co., GA, named his brothers and > sister. > > In looking to see if their brother, Moses, was in the Franklin Co., GA, area > with them (as I suspect, since he and Nathaniel were left specific bequests of > land by Thomas Payne, Jr.); and if he came to Bedford Co., TN, with them; I > checked those censuses of the area across the river in SC. > > The family of that Moses Payne appears to have had the following people, based > solely on those censuses: > > Moses Payne, b. 1755--1774 (probably by 1765, to be 21 by 1786) > His wife, b. 1774--1775 > Son #1, b. 1784--1790  (gone from the household by 1820) > Dau #1, b. 1784--1790  (gone by 1820) > Dau's #2 thru #5, b. 1790--1800  (gone by 1820) > Son #2, b. 1794--1800 > Son #3, b. 1800--1802 > Son #4, b. 1802--1804 > Dau #6, b. 1804--1810 > Dau's #7 & #8, b. 1810--1820 > > Has anyone identified this family? > > Did this Moses Payne stay in the area of the Pendleton District, SC, in the > 1820's (so that he was probably not available/eligible to serve as adm'r of > the estate of Shrewsbury Payne in 1820-1825 in Bedford Co., TN)? > > Thanks for any help, > Bob Meadows > > > -- Joe Payne Knoxville, TN __________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape Webmail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com/

Another Website that has lots of Thomas "Trader" Payne information is: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ga/franklin.htm and http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/5917/GENEAL3.HTM#payne David Payne has done lots of research on his Thomas "Trader" Payne. I have information on the Moses born 1764 but would not swear to it's validity at: http://msnhomepages.talkcity.com/YosemiteDr/smokymtnman/payne/pafg04.htm#1641 rmeadows <rmeadows@krl.org> wrote: > > In trying to figure out which Moses Payne I'm descended from, I've checked the > family of a Moses Payne in what was the area of the Pendleton District, SC, in > the 1790, 1800, 1810, and 1820 censuses. > > I'm looking there for two reasons.  One, a kind hearted fellow put those > censuses on the SCGenWeb site--nothing beats looking at something that's > available.  Two, my Moses was in Bedford Co., TN, in the first half of the > 19th century; and I've found that a Shrewsbury Payne and a Zebediah Payne > bought land in Bedford Co., TN, in April 1812. > > Administration of the estate of Shrewsbury Payne was handled by Sally (his > widow) and a Moses Payne.  There may have been more than one Moses Payne in > Bedford Co., TN, in 1820-1825 (the time I'm most interested in); so I'm not > able to assume the adm'r Moses was a son of Shrewsbury. > > Shrewsbury and Zebediah Payne in Bedford Co., TN, appear to be the brothers of > Thomas Payne, Jr., whose 1786 will in Franklin Co., GA, named his brothers and > sister. > > In looking to see if their brother, Moses, was in the Franklin Co., GA, area > with them (as I suspect, since he and Nathaniel were left specific bequests of > land by Thomas Payne, Jr.); and if he came to Bedford Co., TN, with them; I > checked those censuses of the area across the river in SC. > > The family of that Moses Payne appears to have had the following people, based > solely on those censuses: > > Moses Payne, b. 1755--1774 (probably by 1765, to be 21 by 1786) > His wife, b. 1774--1775 > Son #1, b. 1784--1790  (gone from the household by 1820) > Dau #1, b. 1784--1790  (gone by 1820) > Dau's #2 thru #5, b. 1790--1800  (gone by 1820) > Son #2, b. 1794--1800 > Son #3, b. 1800--1802 > Son #4, b. 1802--1804 > Dau #6, b. 1804--1810 > Dau's #7 & #8, b. 1810--1820 > > Has anyone identified this family? > > Did this Moses Payne stay in the area of the Pendleton District, SC, in the > 1820's (so that he was probably not available/eligible to serve as adm'r of > the estate of Shrewsbury Payne in 1820-1825 in Bedford Co., TN)? > > Thanks for any help, > Bob Meadows > > > -- Joe Payne Knoxville, TN __________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape Webmail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com/
