Hello PAYNE experts, I have been trying to figure out the ancestry of John PAYNE (PAIN) of Middletown CT and still haven't found parents and origin for him that I can verify with a good source. Also I have some other questions about his line. I have sent what I have. Does anyone recognize this line or have any info I don't? Thanks. Descendancy Narrative of John Payne I.
