Has anyone put online the complete text of the pension application of Moses Payne (b. 1764 on the coast between MD and NC)? I've received several replies to my initial question. I'm grateful for all the help. Now, I'm looking for a little more clarification. One reply had the Moses Payne of Pendleton District, SC, going to St. Clair Co., AL, rather than Jefferson Co., AL. Are those different names for the same place? What name is in the pension application? If the Moses Payne who's in the federal census of the Pendleton District from 1790 to 1820 is the one who submitted the pension application while in Blount Co., AL, in the 1830's, then he doesn't appear to be the Moses Payne who was the brother of Thomas Jr., Nathaniel, Shrewsbury, Poindexter, Zebediah, and Ruth. (I hope I got all those right from memory--they're named in the will of Thomas Payne, Jr., in 1786 in Franklin Co., GA. The only geographic link I found in looking at the web links you gave me was the John Lee who was given a grant for bringing people to MD. He was from Westmoreland Co., VA. The Elizabeth Poindexter & Ruel Shrewsbury line of Paynes (hence those rare names of Poindexter and Shrewsbury used in the line of Paynes who were in Franklin Co., GA, and showed up in Bedford Co., TN, in 1812) were in Westmoreland Co., VA, the same as that John Lee--and, I suppose, the Payne that was among the people he took to MD. If there is a connection there between the Paynes in the area of Franklin Co., GA, and Pendleton District, SC, it goes back pretty far. Is there an online index or text of the Franklin Co., GA, census for 1790--1820 that I could look at to see if there's another Moses Payne across the river in Franklin Co., GA? I've looked, but haven't found one yet. If not, is there anyone who could look (or has looked) and provide that info? Thanks for your help, Bob
