    3. I am researching ANDREW WILLIS PAYNE, Indian Trader. First. I do not know much about ANDREW WILLIS PAYNE except that he probably lived in North Carolina and had at least one daughter, Elizabeth Angeline PAYNE, b. 1799, d. 1888, Macon Co. TN. Elizabeth Angeline PAYNE was married to John ADAMS, b. in NC in 1791, d. Macon Co, Tn in 1873. John ADAMS was the son of Elijah ADAMS. John Adams is buried, along with his wife Elizabeth Angeline PAYNE-ADAMS in the Elijah ADAMS cemetery, Macon Co. TN. Second. There of course is the probabliliy that ANDREW WILLIS PAYNE had more children and I speculate that WILLIAM PAYNE, b. circa 1803-4 in NC. d. circa 1879 Fulton Co. AR. (also of 1850 Macon Co. TN.) might have been a son to ANDREW WILLIS PAYNE, and a brother to Elizabeth Angeline PAYNE. William PAYNE was married to a woman named Mary______? (in the 1850 Macon Co. TN. census record.) and I have guessed that she (Mary____?) b. circa 1813, TN. may have been an ADAMS, perhaps a daughter of Elijah ADAMS or one of his sons. In the 1850 Macon County, Tennessee census record, William PAYNE and his wife Mary lived in close proximity to several ADAMS families. Third. Elijah ADAMS and his brother Solomon ADAMS were among the early settlers of North Central Tennessee, more specifically "Old Smith County,TN". Both of these ADAMS recorded land deeds in Carthage, TN, County Seat of present day Smith County, TN as early as 1805 and 1807. Both these ADAMS brothers came from North Carolina to Tennessee in the early 1800s. ANDREW WILLIS PAYNE, b.? d.? Married to, ? Daughter, Elizabeth Angeline PAYNE, b. 1799, d. 1888. Anyone have this ANDREW WILLIS PAYNE in their tree? Raymond L. Gann
