Researchers of Paine/Payne surname and Sonja and Cindy who have tried to help me find marriage date for James and Martha- I found William Pain [aka Paine/Payne] living on Reedy Creek in Rowan Co NC -same place my William White family lived. Then I found John Pain living in Stokes Co NC, same place my White's ended up living when Old Rowan Co split up and the section my family lived in became Stokes Co NC. The surname was spelled Pain in Rowan Co Deeds book by James Kluttz. *** William Paine was the spouse of widow; Charity Paine age 70, born Maryland, living in 1850 Lincoln Co TN in HH 664 with her daughter; Elizabeth age 42 b NC. Charity lived next door to my James [Franklin] White age 33 b NC, HH 663, Lincoln Co TN 1850 census. Wife Martha age 32 b NC. Children; William age 13 [ all these ch born in TN] Amanda M. 9 Charityann E. 7 Dinah F. 5 Thomas 1 A few doors away lived; HH 663 George W. Paine age 40 b NC [son of Charity prob?] Elizabeth 38 b NC Susan C. 18 [all children b TN] Martha A. 14 Elizabeth 8 Mariah 2 George W. 2 Mourning age 2 months. [I wonder if George's father, William Paine, spouse of Charity above had died shortly before Mourning's birth in 1849/50?- usually that is why Mourning or Benoni is used for a child's name] I would love to hear from another of this Paine/Payne line please.
