Such Is the old family Bible Of the
Payne family Of Fluvanna county, Vir-
ginia, which has been held by the FAM
lily In this country for moro than 200
years. and Its first date In England Is
unknown From this old Bible. now inl
possession OF Mr.. Alonzo D. Payne, OF
charlottesville. Va, a lineal descendantl
,(with his brother, Mr.. John NJ. Payne,
of Amherst county,, of the Paynes of
England. and the first emtgrants, to
America, who were Sir Robert Payne,
John and William Payne OF 1920. the
latter of whom settled In the rich wall
ley of the James, near Lynchburg. Va
Though the family and arms we're Civ
en- in our issue OF August ~, 1907. yet
we repeat them here as this additional
data adds much interest to the family
history, which Is established by these
records, as OF direct noble descent.
The following is the genealogy OF the
Paynes OF Goochland. county, as dc.
seconded from George Payne, who mar
ried Mary woodson. about 1904 and
was the progenitor of the family in
that county. as well as Albemarle. FLU
wanna and Amherst A very accurate
account Is given Of him and his de-
scendants in the Virginia Historical
October, 1879: too long to insert here.
but we make brief extracts. This was
compiled by the clerk Of Goochland.
and can be relied upon:
The question is. from which
point did this George Payne mrs.
come from? Hening mentions George
among many others. but does not name
his first location. From the frequent
intermarriages of the Paynes with
other families OF the Northern Neck,
I 1t seems very probable that this George
Payne was from that section OF Vtr-
GINA and was most likely the son OF
George Payne, named as brother In the
wills OF Richard Payne. OF Lancaster
E(17Oa). and William Payne. of Ian
ca ster (1T26). They were the sons OF
Iyyilliam Payne and his wife. Susanna.
daughter Of Richard Merriman. CONT,
all OF Lancaster. and 1t Is known that
! these two brothers came to virginia
very early. Thomas PAYNE (probably
| one of the sons of the above) was
/, killed at the great massacre by the
indians, 1929. while at the house
Of Nlr. Richard Owens. John Paine or
Payne was living at 'ye neck of land
lin Virginia, and William Paine was O
burgess, February 16. 1623-'24."
Thus 1t Is probable that the Payne.
family are descendants of these last
two men. some Of whom moved up the
lRappahannock and James Rivers. The
ltradition In the family has always been
THAT John and William were the sons
of William Payne. stockhoider of the
! Virginia Company. who was brother
