Hi all! Ya'll can't imagine the surprise when I read these Payne-McElhaney messages on the Payne list. My maiden name is McElhenney, and I'm married to a Payne. I don't see any connections with those mentioned in the previous posts, but the McElhaney name is unusual enough that it caught my attention. All my hubby's family came from TN to IL and KS, and most are now settled in Nebraska. I've not gotten further back than TN on the Paynes. My McElhaneys came from NC, SC, and GA and came to Alabama and Mississippi. If you are interested, my gedcom is at RootsWeb GenConnect at the address given in my signature line below. I also have a McElhaney web site at RootsWeb's freepages, but I don't have the exact address at hand. You can find it easily at by searching RootsWeb though, because it's the only McElhaney site on their Freepages.
