I think I come from the same Payne family and I have been looking for a very long time. I descend from Hiram Payne who is the son of Greenbury Payne. I find one discrepancy in your message and would like to know if you have found any additional information. On the 1850 and 1860 census for Gilmer County Ga. Greenbury is shown with 10 kids and his wife is listed as Dorinda. Could this be the same Ayers person? Any help you can give will be so appreciated.

Thank you.
