Surry Co. NC Date: Wed, 5 Jan 2000 17:49:05 -0800 David, You need to forward this to the Payne Discussion list. There are several folks looking for Moses Payne in Cherokee County, NC about the same time as the rest of our group. This is amazing. Payne Mountain near Suit, NC is purported to be named after a Moses Payne. We have tired to establish a connection between him and the descendants of John and Nancy Payne, but have been unsuccessful.
