Hi Catherine - what a terrific surprise!!!!
I will share anything and everything I have or can get with you but I am leaving for Houston in about an hour - be back Wednesday.
I sent a copy of your query to a descendant of of our uncle Shrewsberry Payne - he is by far the better-researched and better-informed researcher regarding our Payne ancestry.
But please don't exclude me because I'm not!!!
At this time, I am "inclined to believe" that Thomas was the son of William Payne Sr so I am going to send you a WordPad doc entitled "Halifax doc" - I will pre-screen it for virus.
Then, I will get back with you next week when I get home.
Cousin Kathye
