18801 I5760  Payne  George  Abt 1661  Abt 1711  In 1675, George witnessed a deed in Rappahannock County by Margaret Warren of land on Pepetick Creek adjacent to John Payne. In 1694, he served on a grand jury, and in 1696 he was involved in a case wherein two of his servants were ordered to work overtime, having been away without leave. In the same year, his brother, Richard Payne of Richmond County deede to him 60 acres on the north side of the of Pepetick Creek. In that same year he was witness and attorney for his nephew William Payne of Lancaster county,

George's will and subsequent court records show that he had five children, George, John, Thomas, William and Jane. It made no reference to his wife; leaving all his land to be divided between his two oldest sons George and John. Should either die, his part was to go to his son Thomas, who was also left a negro named Ginnie. His "father Thomas Pace" and his "brothers George White and Daniel White" were named as executors.

Thomas Pace, Gentleman of Rappahonock County was married to Jane, the widow of Thomas White. It was a daughter of Thomas and Jane White, name unknown, who married George Payne. Therefore, Thomas Pace is actually his stepfather-in-law, and George and Daniel White were his brother-in-laws.

18802 I16272  Payne  George  Abt 1694  Abt 1745  In 1711 his father's will left him 120 a., a two-year old heifer, a horse called Brandy, and an equal share of testator's personal estate. In the same year Anthony CARNABY was appointed as his guardian; two years later John JENNINGS became his guardian. 1715 he became of age, as evidenced by law suits. He and wife (1) MARY sold land in 1718 to John JENNINGS that was left to grantor in his father's will. 1724 he was appointed Under Sheriff of Ri. Co. 1742 he was Admr. of estate of George LEWIS. 1746 in the settlement of his estate, payment was made to Meredith Payne, and an infant child of George Payne's was referred to but not named. His personal estate was valued at 178 pounds and included, among many other items, one white servant, one negro, furnitue, books, cattle, sheep, horses, hogs, farm implements, etc. His widow (w. 2) MARTHA married John PEYTON in 1746. (Payne, p. 370).  STR06 
18803 I1826  Payne  George  Abt 1763  Abt 1799  This material has been abstracted from the book "The Paynes of Virginia" by Brooke Payne (pages 260 through 289). Died intestate. In 1787 he was named as one of the executors of his father's will, and as co-guardian of his minor brothers and sisters. The LDS Ancestral files show he was also married to Helen Combs. This appears to be in error. It was actually his brother, Benjamin Payne, who married Helen.  STR06 
18804 I5552  Payne  Gertrude Louise  24 Aug 1906  6 Apr 1969  Ken Harvey writes that "Her mother died following her birth and she was taken in by her grandmother Mary E. Mounts. She used to call her "Mama" as she was the only mother she ever knew. Her father always paid her expenses. Her hair was carefully cut off by her father when it was medically advised. She was suffering from a fever or something. It was evidently very beautiful hair and it was preserved. Unfortunately the hair disappeared following her father's second marriage. Her grandmother used to take it out and wash it every year. In those days it was quite valuable. The children greatly resented the second wife who they suspected sold the hair."

She was a 1924 graduate of Duncan, Oklahoma, High School.

Ken shows that she was married to a Charles Bernie, and that they had an infant that was born around 1924 that died at about one year of age.

Her death certificate, viewable online at FamilySearch.org, Texas Deaths, 1890-1976, shows that she was the widow of Charles Birnie. A Charles Birnie (Jr.?) was the informant. Her usual residence was listed as Roswell, New Mexico.

18807 I6110  Payne  Gjon Marshall Cragg  25 Nov 1950  14 Jan 2022  Gjon Marshall Cragg Payne was born November 25, 1950 and left this earthly plane on January 14, 2022. He was the first of seven children born to Marvin "Snort" and Deana Payne. He started his life in Duncan, OK, moving to various other places that the oil-field sent them, all the while acquiring more siblings until the early 60s when his father began teaching.

Gjon graduated from Cushing High School in 1969. Shortly after high school Gjon received his draft notice, burned it in protest of the Vietnam War, and then enlisted in the Army to help ensure a placement more to his liking. There he became a helicopter mechanic and began his career path in aviation. After a tour in Vietnam and upon completion of his enlistment, he returned to Oklahoma and earned a Bachelor's Degree in Aeronautical Technology at Oklahoma State University.

Just prior to graduating in 1977, he met his soon-to-be bride, Molly Raye Whitlow, at Kentucky Fried Chicken in Cushing. Their love for each other and their love of poultry led them to marry on Thanksgiving Day. Together they traveled around to various locations including a time with Petroleum Helicopters, living on the bayous of Louisiana. It was there they began their family and he became a Daddy when Sara was born. Shortly after, he moved his wife and daughter back to Oklahoma so they could be closer to family, while he continued to commute back and forth to work on the Gulf Coast.

In 1984, while living in Pawnee, their family grew with the birth of their first son, Ian. Being with family became increasingly important when he learned they were expecting their third child. Gjon accepted an opportunity to work as an A & P mechanic at a major airline. They packed up and moved to Minnesota. Their nuclear family was complete when Sean was born a few months later. They spent two decades rearing their children in the "great white tundra." After a series of unfortunate events they felt the pull once again to return to Oklahoma to be closer to family. Their life together began in Cushing, and the circle was completed upon his passing.

Being "Gramps" to his grandchildren was one of the highlights of his life. All six brought a special twinkle to his eyes. He loved watching them grow and play and enjoyed attending their various activities. He was proud that his grandson Hunter graduated from CHS exactly 50 years after he had. One of his favorite activities was participating in Cushing's high school marching band and he was so proud his granddaughters Bella and Kira are now marching to the same drumbeat. He was constantly amused by Willow's personality, impressed by Cora's intelligence and delighted in the sweetness of little George Marshall.

Gjon was as unique as his name. He was a quiet and wise observer. He appreciated the arts: music, painting, sculpting, beadwork, poetry. He was an artist, but too humble to call himself one. A member of the Comanche Nation and having Caddo roots, he was proud and oh so knowledgeable about his Native American heritage. He was a deep thinker and a frustrated perfectionist, always thinking of ways things could be better. Whether it was politics, history or spiritual beliefs, Gjon was ready to impart bits of wisdom and knowledge to those who would listen. And when he spoke, people listened. In spite of his serious side, he had a silly, and at times, a wildly inappropriate sense of humor. These are just some of the things his family will miss.

Gjon is preceded in death by his parents and youngest sibling, Lynn Payne Gouge, his father-in-law Zane Whitlow, brother-in-law Albert Whitlow and sister-in-law Gwen Whitlow Buttram, as well as several beloved nieces and nephews.

He is survived by his wife Molly Payne, daughter Sara Payne Keyes and husband Jake Keyes, of Cushing, grandchildren Hunter, Kira, Bella and Willow Keyes, son Ian Payne and wife Chelsea of Lakeville, Minnesota and grandchildren Cora and George, and son, Sean Payne of the home. Also his mother-in-law Ann Pippenger of Cushing and brother-in-law Zane Whitlow of Tulsa. Sisters Zara Payne, Mary Witten and Jayne Smith. Brothers Dean Payne and Paul Payne and a plethora of nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews and friends, including lifelong friends Greg Holman, Joel Moore, Randy Judd and Rick Reiley.

Services will be held at 10:00 a.m., Wednesday, January 19, 2022 at Palmer Marler Funeral Home Chapel, Cushing, Oklahoma. Arrangements are entrusted to Palmer Marler Funeral Home, Cushing, Oklahoma.

18811 I1545  Payne  Harriett Catherine "Kate"  Between 1848 and 1852  Abt 1915  Could she have been listed as Harriett C Payne 2 F Mo on the 1850 census, born ca 1848?

On a transcript of the 1860 Shelby County census, there is a 3 year old Catherine J Pain listed, which means she would have been born ca. 1857. According to the 1880 census, she was age 28, which means she would have been born closer to 1852. This would make her only 10 years younger than her husband, not 15. Is is likely that the 1860 listing for Catherine was actually for younger sister, Caladonia.

Catherine and her husband, Tom Joyner, are the first of her family to move to Texas. They arrive in Hardeman County in the spring of 1879. In a biography of her brother-in-law, John O'Neill, she was referenced as "Harriett Katherine, who now lived in Idaho...widow of the late Thomas Joiner, a farmer..."

Harry Carl Payne. 60, was found dead in his home on Duncan route 4, about 8 a.m. today. Death apparently was the result of a heart attack. A neighbor, Hoyt (Pete) Hardin, took Payne home between 8 and 9 p.m. Tuesday. Hardin, a brother-in-law, returned this morning and found Payne slumped on his bed and dead. Sheriff James Rose reported Payne had apparently sat on the bed and taken off his shoes, then suffered the heart attack. A retired farmer and rancher and veteran of World War I, Payne had lived in this area most of his life. He was a member of Velma Baptist Church. A native of Butler, Indian Territory, Payne was born February 14. 1897. Funeral will be at 2 p.m. Friday in the First Baptist Church here. Roy V. Harp, First Christian Church pastor, will officiate. Burial will be in Marlow Cemetery under direction of Grantham Funeral Home. Survivors include three sons, Paul James of 102 East Oak; W. L. of Duncan route 4; and Carl Jr. of Comanche. Also three sisters, Mrs.(Virginia Payne) Hoyt Hardin of Duncan route 4 and Mrs.(Vera Payne) John Young and Mrs. (Louise Payne) Charles Birnie, both of Roswell, N. M. and seven grandchildren.

NOTE Headstone in Marlow Cemetery, Sect 10 Blk 10 (Lot 9), states b. 4 Feb 1898 (note in obit 2-14-1897) d. 2-19-1957. Assumed the headstone was correct.

Additional Notes from Kenneth Harvey:

There is an infancy photograph of Carl taken circa 1898 by L. C. Kelley in Duncan, I.T. It is in the possession of Lewis Adair Payne (1997).

All of their three sons, their only three children, were in the Pacific theatre of the 2nd. World War and all three were at the battle of Iwo Jima. All survived even though they were in the thick of the fighting. Dorothy Pattison records another son "Dickie" but this is unlikely.

1903-He was photographed at the age of four with his great-grandparents, John and Pamelia Gentry in Alma, I.T.

1923-Mr. and Mrs. W.M. Gentry of this city (Duncan) celebrated their "Golden Wedding Day" Friday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Payne, a few miles east of this city.

18815 I19918  Payne  Hattie  14 Jul 1890  26 Jun 1892  Her parentage is assumed based on her name and the dates of her birth and death. She is buried in Section 10, Block 9, Plot 7 of the Marlow cemetery.  STR06

That the children of Hattie Mildred Moore, deceased daughter of Lee B. Payne were heirs under the terms of the Will of said Lee B. Payne, the same being John Lee McWhorter and Kay Denise Shaw."

It appears from this that Hattie may have been married at least three times: to a McWhorter, a Shaw and a Moore. Note that at the time of her grandmother's death (Hattie Brown) she was listed a Hattie Shaw, and living with her was daughter Kay Denise Shaw. She was instead listed as Hattie Moore at the time of her father's death a short time later.

18837 I1832  Payne  John  Abt 1615  Bef 1690  See pages 44-51 of "The Paynes of Virginia" for more information on John Payne, Sr. He appeared to be a ship owner, as he was paid for provisioning and transporting Burgesses from Lancaster to James Town. He may also have been a carpenter, as in 1656 the county court ordered him to make for the county one pair of stocks and a whipping post.

His date of birth is approximate and is based on an affidavit concerning delivery of pork to Jamestown which states his age as "44 years or thereabouts". This was probably a visual estimate of a Clerk of the Court rather than based on his own oral evidence.

As suggested by the comparatively late date of the Court records relating to his two younger sons, it is not improbable that he was married twice, and that Margaret was his second wife. John Payne had the following children--Richard, John, William and George. It is believed that he had also one or more daughters; but since his will cannot be found, although it is recorded that he made one, it is practically impossible to identify any such daughters.

A direct male descendant volunteered to have his DNA tested. The results can be found at www.ysearch.org, under the user ID #B3C9R, and the FamilyTreeDNA Kit number is 48173.

More information can be found at the following website, part of the PAYNE DNA, which can be found at the following URL:

The kit was #48173, and this Payne group was assigned to lineage 16.

The members of R1b are believed to be the descendants of the first modern humans who entered Europe about 35,000-40,000 years ago. Those R1b forebearers were the people who painted the beautiful art in the caves in Spain and France. They were the contemporaries (and perhaps exterminators) of the European Neanderthals. R1b is the most common Y haplogroup in Europe - more than half of men of European descent belong to R1b. Fourteen of the 30 most common haplotypes in the YSTR.org database are typical of R1b.

18839 I5758  Payne  John  Abt 1650  Abt 1669  His wife, Anne, was the daughter of Col. John WALKER of Ra. Co.

The earliest record relating to John Payne was filed 10 November 1655, noting a gift by his father to the latter's sons Richard and John, Jr of two heifers named Coll and Stiwelin respectively.

On March 23, 1670, John Payne Sr. and his wife Margaret made a deed to their daughter-in-law Anne Payne, widow of their son John, of the land whereon she was living "to occupy, possess, and enjoy the aforesaid dividend during the minority of the child or children now in her womb..."

John deeded land to his brother William in 1695, with no signature or acquiescence of a wife. Brooke Payne was not able to account for him after 1702. He speculated that it was possible he was the same John Payne that died in St. Anne's Par., Es. Co., 1711, leaving the widow Susannah. There is no evidence that the John Payne of Es. Co. left any children. (Payne, pp. 58, 59).  STR06

Margaret, grandparents of the present granto John Payne, and given by the will of the said grandfather to his sons John and George; this land lay on Pepetick Creek adjacent to Nicholas SMITH and near Humphrey QUESENBERRY's mill in the head of a swamp called PAYNE's Beaver Dam."

By 1732, he married Anne JONES in King George County, as shown by his signed statement. John PAYNE had several children, the oldest being George, named in his lease 1737/8; and two others--Reuben and Francis--name in his will. That there were still others is clearly implied in this will. The records of the following only are detailed in Brooke Payne's book, George, Reuben, Francis, and John. (Payne, pp. 370-371).

He settled in Scott County at Payne's depot near Georgetown. The Magazine of the Kentucky Historical Society refers to him as General John Payne, and states that he commanded Kentucky troops in the first expedition against the Indians in 1812. He was a State Senator from Scott County from 1830-1832.

According to his son, Asa, he died after being thrown from his horse.

Westerfield's book of Kentucky Genealogical and Biographical Sketches states that he was in the Virginia Militia, and present at the surrender of Lord Cornwallis, soon after which he settled in Kentucky; was active in the Indian wars on the frontier; a general in the war of 1812, a State senator, a farmer and large slave holder, and died in 1837.

18864 I19911  Payne  Lee B.  22 Jun 1894  2 Jun 1959  As of 1956, he was living at 514 West Gilkey, Marlow, Oklahoma. This was also the residence of his mother, Hattie (Brown) Payne. As the Will of Hattie Payne does not dispose of the home, it is not known if she was living with her son in his home, or if it was her home but had been transferred to Lee prior to her death. Also living in the home on West Gilkey with Hattie and Lee were Hattie Mildred Shaw, granddaughter, and Kay Denice Shaw, Great Granddaughter.

Hattie left each of her heirs the sum of $10, and son Lee B. Payne was to receive the residue of all money; furthermore, she left her China Closet and all the contents to Mildred Shaw, and her Piano to Kay Denice Shaw, leaving the remainder of her property, including furniture, jewelry, and all other money to her son Lee B. Payne, "with full knowledge of the help and peace of mind which his love, care and affection has provided for me during my life time."

Lee's memorial inscription reads Lee D. Payne 2 June 1959. He is buried in Section 10, Block 9, Lot 5 in Marlow Cemetery.

An infant Joe R. Payne born circa 1913 and died 30 Oct 1913 is buried in Section 10, Block 9, Lot 6. It is possible this is a son of Lee's.

Charles Strong noted that according to court documents, Lee had been living in Chandler, Arizona prior to his death in 1959. On the 10th of January, 1961, the final decree and distribution in the matter of the Last Will and Estate of Lee B. Payne was decreed in the County Court of Stephens, Oklahoma. Harold N. Payne and Evelyn M. Payne were joint executors and trustees. Their relationship to Lee B. Payne is not known.

The residue of the estate at that time consisted of mineral rights for approximately 21 acres of land and cash of $214. The court found that Lee B. Payne left TWO SURVIVING SONS WHO WERE NOT MENTIONED IN THE WILL OF LEE B. PAYNE, DECEASED HEREIN, and said surviving sons were omitted heirs at law under the law of the State of Oklahoma; that said surviving sons were John Earl Payne and Henry Lee Payne, both being of legal age and competent and that each and both surviving children were the only surviving children of the deceased, the only other child of deceased being Hattie Mildred Moore, who predeceased her father, the said Lee B. Payne, herein. That the children of Hattie Mildred Moore, deceased daughter of Lee B. Payne were heirs under the terms of the Will of the said Lee B.

18867 I4781  Payne  Levi Francis  Between 1826 and 1830  17 May 1890  Charles R. Strong and his daughter, Mary Pat Strong, while at the Shelbina Library came across many years of the land tax records for Shelby County from 1836 - 1863. The following information was found on these tax rolls:

Year Owner Acres Section Township Range Levi Payne 80 9 59 9
80 9 59 9

This family was not listed on the 1860 Ledger of Shelby slave owners.

They also located several Indentures entered into by Levi:

5 January 1867 between Francis and Elizabeth Bosworth of Marion County, Missouri to Levi F. Payne, selling him land in Shelby County, Missouri for $120. The land was an undivided (1/8) interest which they received by virtue of inheritance as heirs at law of William Payne, deceased. (Book T U p-56)

18 March 1871 between Levi F. Payne and Barilla Jane Payne, his wife, of Marion County, Missouri and William Montgomery, with Levi purchasing land from them in Shelby County for $400, to-wit: the W 1.2 of the SE 1/4 of Sec. 9 in Township fifty-nine, Range 9 west containing 80 acres more or less, filed 24 Oct 1872 (Book W)

Payne of Marion Co, Missouri for a parcel of land in Shelby County, to-wit: the North West 1/4 of the North East quarter of section 13 township 58 range 10 containing 40 acres more or less. It was recorded on 27 January 1876. (BOOK U, p-257)

Finally, Charles and Mary Pat Strong located the following Will:

18868 I1521  Payne  Levi Newton  2 Aug 1856  3 Dec 1932  In a biography of his brother-in-law, John O'Neill, he was referenced as "Newton, a farmer near Wewoka, Oklahoma."

When she was around six year old, ca 1918-1919, Roonie recalls going from her father's ranch to the big Payne farm, over the hill about 1/2 a mile away. When they arrived, Levi Newton Payne and his family were in two covered wagons starting a trip to Arizona. Her parents had gone to the farm to say their goodbyes. She remembered that one of the young children appeared to be retarded/disabled in some way. The family remained in Arizona, which is where Levi Newton died around 1932. (This story was told to Charles Strong by his mother around 1990).

In the copy of the Will of William H. Payne, he lists Levi as recieving $400. Levi was taught to read by his wife Lizzie, a school teacher. Levi Newton was in the 1889 run and got land near Oklahoma City, but traded it for a horse. (Source: Cova Jean Williams).

He died from acute angina pectoris on December 3, 1932. The informant was F.L. (Fred Lee) Payne. The undertaker was M.L. Gibbons. he was recorded as 76 years, 4 months and 1 day old. (From his death certificate filed in Arizona). A memorial stone was erected over his grave in 1988.

He kept 12 of the warbirds for himself...Most of the leftovers were sold to a scrap dealer from Wichita, though a few others escaped destructions..." Lewis Payne purchased one of the seven P-51 Mustangs in partnership with another man. At some stage his partner crashed and was killed.

Obituary

"Lewis Adair Payne, 84 was a longtime breeder of Arabian horses in addition to being an aircraft mechanic. He was also a retired expatriate engineer.

He died Tuesday, 18 August 1998, at Stillwater Medical Center. Cremation arrangements are under the direction of Strode Funeral Home. Private intermment and service will be at a later time in Duncan.

Payne was born March 15, 1914, in Duncan, to Marvin Walter Payne and Grace Ellen Gentry; both the children of Oklahoma Pioneers. He married Lunora McWethy in 1943. She is the daughter of William Meade McWethy and Ethel Arretha Phenis both formerly of Stillwater.

In the last 37 years of his life, Lewis devoted himself to the breeding of Arabian horses in the Stillwater area. His objective was achieve classical perfection in both body type and movement. His artist's eye later resulted in national recognition from a minority interested in the preservation breeding of this fine horse-celebrated by the 4th century B.C. Greeks in the marble statuary of the Parthenon frieze. At considerable cost to him he did not allow the untutored requirements of the market to damage the historic bloodlines of his horses. For a long time he stood alone.

Originally an aircraft mechanic in the later barnstorming days, Lewis was to instruct students in aircraft maintenance for the National Defense Training School during WWII at Searcy Field, the Stillwater airport. From there he spent nine years with his young family in Saudi Arabia working for Aramco. He later became an engineer for Philco-Ford with whom he worked all over the world.

He was a man who expanded his formal university classes with very extensive reading and travel. He last journeyed around the world at the age of 80. His curiousity was wide and his interests were cosmopolitan.

He was predeceased by two brothers, Claude Chadwick Payne and Marvin Walter Payne and one sister, Mary Olive Thompson. Survivors include his wife of fifty-two years, Lunora; two daughters; Robin White of Joplin, Missouri and Penny Harvey of Glencoe, OK; and two grandsons Bracken White of San Francisco, CA and Gentry White of Columbia, MO and grand-daughter Anne Marie Busse of Joplin, Mo.

Memorials may be made to the Stillwater Airport Memorial Museum."

Lewis's ashes were buried on a hill, under an oak tree, with a view of Hell Creek below. The burial site was on the land his grandfather Sam homesteaded and where he himself grew up during his teenage years. There was a brief informal religious ceremony conducted by son-in-law Tom White. Afterwords a picnic was served at the East Wing of the Stephens County Fairgrounds.

Obituary
Chickasaw Times, January 2014, Page 21

Lois (Marie) Payne Hanna

Lois (Marie) Payne Hanna died November 20, 2013 at the Lakes Nursing Facility in Oklahoma City, after a long struggles with Alzheimer's disease and a short battle with congestive heart failure.

She was born February 10, 1920 to Thomas Hardwick Payne and Bessie Bird Payne at Duncan, Okla. Though her early formative years were spent at St. Elizabeth's School in Purcell, Okla.; and education provided to her from the altruism of the Chickasaw tribe, she graduated from Duncan High School in 1938. Some years later she moved to Oklahoma City where she became a lifelong resident. After the War, she enrolled in the Oklahoma City School of Law (currently OCU) where she met her future husband, James Cullen Hanna. As one relative put it, "she studied to be an attorney, but married one instead." In the early 1960's she secured employment with the architecture firm of Coston, Frankfurt, Short (now Frankfurt Short Brusa) and rose from a secretarial position to retire in the 1990's as a member of the firm's board of directors. It was from this career position that Mrs. Hanna became a long lasting member of Executive Women Incorporated (EWI). Lois served in many capacities during her lengthy membership in EWI including that of president. Association with this organization provided her with the opportunity to travel and cement lifelong friendships. In later life she fondly recalled the places and people she had the pleasure to know.

While her sharp and penetrating mind permitted her to explore a keen interest in myriad of subjects, her main focus was on just a few. Aside from her whole family,---her offspring, her siblings, her sibling's offspring, in-laws and everything in-between---which she cherished above all else, her great passions in life were music, literature, history, Sooner football and all things Oklahoman.

Her enthusiasm for music and above all, opera brought her great happiness. She delighted in being a proud patron of the Oklahoma City Symphony, holding season tickets for more than thirty consecutive years. Last year Mrs. Hanna was honored when the Chickasaw tribe recognized her as a senior member of the tribe and presented her with a brooch.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Thomas Hardwick (sic, s/b Hamilton) Payne and Bessie Bird Payne; her husband, James Cullen Hanna; sisters, Anna Laura Strong, Dora Faye Yeager, Patricia Gabriela (Patty Gay) Payne; and a brother, Thomas Hardwick Payne.

She is survived by her three sons, Fred Hanna, Tom Hanna and John Hanna; a daughter-in-law Gabrielle Hanna; grandsons, Brandon Hanna, Travis Hanna, and Cameron Hanna, children of Fred and Gabrielle; and a great-grandson, Jack Hanna, son of Brandon Hanna.

She will be forever remembered for the warm tender kindness that she shined on those that were closest to her and the unique glow of genuine charity with which she embraced all that were lucky enough to be close to her for however momentary.

She will be dearly missed by all those who knew, and therefore, loved her.

18889 I5781  Payne  Marvin Walter  17 Jan 1881  4 Jan 1948  Kenneth Harvey wrote the following brief biography of Marvin Walter Payne: Marvin was named after the Methodist Bishop Marvin whom his mother particularly respected.

Marvin was about twelve years old when his photograph was taken in a family group with his parents. This photograph survives and is in the collection of Lewis Adair Payne (1997).

As a teenager he was out on the trail cattle herding with his father when he became very ill. Totally incapacitated he was left to lie in agony on the bedrolls in the accompanying chuck wagon. They were miles from anywhere. He later believed that the severe bouncing and bucking of the wagon as it slowly and labourously moved across the untamed countryside saved his life. Much later on it was proved that he had in fact survived a burst appendix; not a very common occurance. Most die from it. He was to say in later years that "I left my appendix on the Western Trail and the cattle walked over it."

He worked as a cowboy and attended high school part-time until he was twenty.

There is another photograph, this time of his high school graduation in from Quanah High School in May 1901. This shows him holding his sheepskin diploma-no "mere paper" at that time! The photograph shows five girls dressed like bridesmaids and one boy with a flower in his button hole, all students surrounding a man who is presumably the school principal. Marvin, the solitary boy (young adult), is at the rear (apparently education was not a very macho activity among the youth of the town). His younger sister Effie stands to his immediate right. Marvin read an essay to the assembled parents on "Closing Events of the Nineteenth Century." His sister Effie read an essay on "Duty." One of the other girls present was a Payne double first cousin, Lula Pearl McClanahan (daughter of Fred Lafayette McClanahan and Calla Payne). She read an essay on "Courage." Other graduating students were Bettie Carter, Cora B. Matlock, and a Miss Johnson. A long term correspondence with Miss Gabie E. Betts, later Burton (1871-?) begins after Marvin graduates from Quanah High School. Miss Gabie, as she refers to herself, used to live in Quanah where she taught in the elementary School. She was known as one of the best primary school teachers in the Panhandle. She later moved to teach at Clarendon College. She addresses Marvin in very affectionate terms--indeed as her son. The letters were saved by Grace after Marvin's death, and passed down to Mary Ann Mounts Payne.

Marvin graduated in 1903 from the Metropolitan Business School.

Marvin married Grace Gentry in 1907 and the young couple lived with her parents for some years in Oklahoma until they moved back to Quanah, Texas. He then worked there in a lumber company from about 1912.

On his father's death in 1916 the family farm was mortgaged and the family divided the proceeds. Marvin fell heir to the mortgage and immediately rented it out to help pay off the mortgage . He now worked as a book-keeper for a wholesale company in Chickasha, circa. 1920, and then moved back to Duncan where he was involved in a restaurant. He didn't stay long at that and he was to become the manager of the Chickasha Cotton Oil Mill in 1921. He then lost this job when the mill was sold during the depression. The family returned to live on the farm, four miles S.W. of Marlow, on Hell Creek. Unfortunately times were very difficult and he could not keep up the payments. The family property was repossessed by the mortgage company. The local official delivering the eviction notice, in about 1937, was a friend and he was to say "Marvin I hate to do this to you." The poor man's only response was "You have to, its your job." Marvin put the papers on the kitchen table in the house and never looked at them. The whole tragic experience hit him very hard indeed and really robbed him of all subsequent motivation. They now put the family furniture in storage but could not even keep up these payments; consequently it too was all lost. To add insult to injury, some years later oil was discovered ont he farm and today (1997) there is a sign which says; "Chevron USA Inc, W.M. Payne Lease Sec 35-2N-8W."

Grace's mother was unable to keep up payment on her own home mortgage, and sold the residence to her daughter and Marvin for a dollar. The families moved in with Mary on Spruce road. It was not long, however, before Marvin was unable to keep up those payments, and that house was lost as well. It was a bitter time. At some point the family returned to the old Marlow farmstead which they had been forced to leave, paying rent to live there. Marvin eventually went to work with a cattle auction company.

According to Fay Payne Yeager, Thomas R. Marshall (Vice President of the United States) was a cousin of Martha Jane Marshall Payne. He stayed in the home of Marvin and Grace (Gentry) Payne while on a speaking tour of Oklahoma. He said he remembered attending family reunions with Martha when he was younger.

Payne was born in Gainsville, Texas. When he was a child, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Payne, moved to Quannah, Texas, where they owned one of the big ranches in that part of the country. Payne was reared and educated in Quannah. He came to Duncan as a young man. He married Grace Ellen Gentry of Arthur in 1907.

He was in Chickasha for many years where he was connected with the Chickasha Cotton Oil Mill. In the early thirties he became ill and moved back to the old homeplace northwest of Duncan. He is survived by his widow and his four children, Chad who is now stationed with the Army in Berlin, Germany; Lewis Adair, Stillwater; Marvin W. Jr., Duncan, and Mrs Bob Thompson, Pampa, Texas.

18896 I5496  Payne  Mary Ethel  13 Sep 1898  23 Apr 1948  Mary Ethel's mother died when she was just seven years old. She and her sisters Vera and Virginia can be found at the St. Joseph Catholic Boarding School in Chickasha, Grady County at the time of the 1910 census. Her widowed father was still ranching in Duncan, with the help of her brothers.

Mary Ethel had two daughters by her first husband. She married second a Mr. Madison and third J. W. Parker, but had no additional children.

Duncan Banner Sunday, April 25, 1948 Pg. 8 Mrs. Parker, Sulphur, Dies Former Duncan Woman, Daughter of W.W. Payne Mrs. J.W. Parker, 49, Sulphur, former resident of Duncan, died at 5:30 p.m. Friday in a Sulphur hospital after a short illness. The funeral service will be at 1:30 p.m. today from the Dunn Funeral Home chapel in Sulphur. Burial will be in the Marlow Cemetery. Mrs. Parker was born near Duncan on September 13, 1899, and lived here all her life until moving to California about 7 years ago. From California she moved to Sulphur. She was the daughter of Walter W. Payne, Stephens county pioneer rancher and business man. She is survived by the widower; two daughters, Mrs. Glen Jones, Weott, Calif., and Mrs. Allen Turner of Roff; two brothers, H.C. Payne and J.E. Payne, both of Duncan; three sisters, Mrs. Hoyt Hardin of Duncan, Mrs. John Young, and Mrs. Charles Birnie, both of Roswell, N.M.

Ethel Parker is buried in Section 10, Block 10, Plot 8, Marlow Cemetery. The date of birth shown on her headstone is different from the date shown in the above obituary. It is assumed that the date on the headstone is accurate.

Mrs. Allen Turner was the informant on her death certificate. Mary Ethel's death certificate indicated that she had been "In this community" for just 10 days, but her address was listed as 724 W. 14, Sulphur. Perhaps the period of 10 days refers to her stay at the DeLay Hospital, where she died of acute cardiac failure due to a coronary occlusion.
