It is on the Madison County, NC website. I am James O Payne's gggrandson through his son Daniel A. Payne. My grandmother Maude Payne McFall (Daniel's daughter) thought the middle name was Osbourne or Osborne. My records pretty much match yours in this posting plus I have another brother James Randolph Payne born 1859.
