I have a Robert Payne (my grandad) bn 26 Dec 1877 in Baxter County Arkansas. Ihaven't found his father John Payne, but did find his Mother Louisa Melton Payne bn 1859 in Hardin county Tn, to a Ellis and Mary (Byrd) Melton. Mary later married a Alexander Payne in 1865 and they then came to Baxter County Ar in 1872. Surely there is someone out there researching this paticular Payne family. I have all the Family from Robert on down, but nothing past Robert but his mother. Any help would be great. thanks rjpayne@terraworld.net
