Does anyone have information on a "Private account made by Daniel Payne (A-VII-13) purporting to be based on what his father related to him. This account dated 4 July 1856" from Col. Brookes Payne Book "Paynes of Virginia (version 10 page 8). Col. Payne states on page 224 "Particularly convincing is the fact, shown by the document referred to in Version 10 and still preserved in the family, that my great-grandfather Capt. William Payne (b. 1755) recognized his relationship to the Paynes of Fairfax Co., near whom he lived. I lay stress on this point on the identity of the said William Payne because it is a critical one." Col. Payne is stating that William Payne of Westmoreland died in 1697/8 m. Elizabeth Pope was the son of John and Margaret Payne of Westmoreland, and that the Daniel Payne account showed a relationship to a Capt William Payne (father of Daniel) who was a descendant of Joh and Margaret Payne of Old Rappahannock, Va. mid 1600s. However, in Version 10 on page 8, Col. Payne mentions the statement, but does not give any details of Daniel's statement. I am wondering if any of the researchers on the Payne list have read or know of the details of Daniel Payne's statement that would show that a Capt. William Payne was related to the Paynes of Fairfax County, Va., which were descendants of William Payne of Westmoreland. Thank you, Nancy Norman
