Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/BAC.2ACE/1391 Message Board Post: In 1937 my grandmother Rosemary Eveline Powell signed an affadavit stating the following: That Joseph Payne, her first husband, died on the 15th day of March 1900 at Amherst, Amherst County, State of Virginia, and that he died prior to the birth of the son, Charles Waller Payne. Joseph Payne was reported to have been a railroad employee and bridge engineer (building them?) Another son, Joseph Clifton Payne was born to this couple in 1895 in Virginia. Any information on these ancestors would be most appreciated. E-mail me at [email protected]
