Good morning Linda, Here is the information you requested from the book, "Red River Settlers." 1. PAYNE, John Wesley, There is no John Wesley listed, but there is a John and a John Sr. In the first reference to John, he is mentioned as a son of Matthew PAYNE, who was the son of Josiah PAYNE of Chester Co., Pennsylvania. John married a lady named Polly CAVE. In the second reference to a John PAYNE, there is mention of a George PAYNE of Virginia who was wed to Mary WOODSON in 1705, and then died in 1744. They had a son named John also. There is a will of John PAYNE, Sr., from Robertson Co., TN, dated October 9, 1805 and proved in open court in April, 1807. This is from the Robertson County Will Book 1, p. 233. 2. HUDSON, Lilly L. There are no HUDSONs listed in the book. 3. CANTRELL. None of your CANTRELLs are shown in the book. 4. BLACKWELL, Minerva.
