Laura, A Jeramiah Payne appears on the 1850 Indiana census for Washington County, Franklin Township. I suspect this is your Jerremiah: Here is the information: JEREMIAH PAYNE AGE 79 (born 1771) Born MARYLAND SARAH WIFE AGE 70 BORN PENNSYLVANIA CHRISTIANA DAUGHTER 27 BORN INDIANA He is not on the 1810 census index, but appears on the 1820 in Clark County. Given that the birthdate is very near to your Jeremiah and the wife's name is Sarah, it appears likely that this is your family. There are other PAYNES in Washington County, Franklin Township, some of whom are undoubtedly his grown children.
