From: bobmoore I have Smith Co, TN Payne connections: I'm not a PAYNE researcher but I did run across an amusing name in the 1830 census for Smith Co. TN. There's a fellow listed there by the name of PLEASANT PAYNE. Bobby L. West

Hi Marilyn: I have Smith Co, TN Payne connections: They are: Thomas H. Payne b about 1787 in Rowan Co, NC. Thomas married a Nancy? They had 4 children Goodman (My line), b 1808, William b about 1814, Cynthia b about 1810, and Jiney b about 1812. They all were born in Smith Co, TN. Thomas died in 1817/1818 in Smith Co, TN. His wife Nancy remarried a Sterling Hylton. I can find no place. Would like to know the maiden name of Nancy. Would like to know more about the other 3 children, William, Cynthia and Jiney, as well as Nancy and Sterling Hylton I have this Payne line proven to about 1650.

Bobby, I don't know about any of my STEWART family prior to Will Joseph, and very little about him. I am making my 1st trip to Gordonsville tomorrow, nervous that I won't know the first thing about what I should do, and filled with anticipation and excitement that I will finally be in the town where my grandmother and great grandmother were born. So many nice people have given me information through this website. I really appreciate it. I will try to see what I can find about this as a possible connection.

I am descended from the Paynes of Smith County. Susan Elizabeth Payne was my gg grandmother. She was the daughter of William J. Payne and Martha Thornton Garrett. She married Alexander Jesse Gregory. William J. was the son of John Payne and Elizabeth Drapers. The Drapers are very numerous in Jackson County. William J. was born in Buckingham Co. Va. I have references and the genealogy further back if you believe it will help. I am leaving today for Kentucky and will not be back home until late Monday night, so I will be able to get you more detail at that time.

I am just wondering if anybody on this Smith County list is researching Payne's that lived there? I am researching some Jackson County Payne's who later went elsewhere. I have looked at some early Jackson County Payne's and am curious as to where they came from , Smith County used to encompass part of the area I am looking at and also even in the 1830s the Smith County border is close to this area. I found a reference to an Ellis Payne and also a John Payne in the early 1800's. Also in 1836 there are 2 James Payne's in Jackson County. They do not live by each other at all and are probably not from the same family but its weird since they are the only 2 male Payne's there at the time. Anyway I would love to hear from anyone researching Payne's in Smith County to see if I can make any connections. Marilyn

From: Gwendolyn Melton Her last trip to Gordonsville was to meet her CRAWFORD and STEWART relations--- Hi, Gwen, I have an ancestor, John STEWART, who had a daughter, Sarah Ann STEWART married to Allen CORNWELL. John had a brother named Murdock STEWART. They were in Smith Co. in the early 1800's. I believe John may have died between 1840 and 1850 and Murdock died between 1850 and 1860.
