For some information regarding her parents see SQ pg. 960.

SQ p. 1017: She is referred to as Mrs. Polly (Paterson) Horner ofPerry County (Tennessee).

SQ pps. 3537-8:

"Polina Wynn Horner was born on March 30, 1854, in Perry County. Thereshe was married to Robert B. Patterson on February 1, 1872. He hadbeen born on August 13, 1835, and was a son of Carson and Cassa(Carlton) Patterson. He served as a captain in the Confederate StatesArmy during the Civil War. He died on June 20, 1893, and was buriedin the Spring Hill Cemetery located at the Spring Hill Baptist Churchnear Eaton, Tennessee. Polina survived him by forty years, dying onJuly 13, 1933, in Gibson County. She, too, was buried in the SpringHill Cemetery. She and Robert had nine children: Mattie, Jesse,Bertie, Russell, Minnie, Gordie, Ruby, Mary, and Irene."

Information concerning Alethaire is taken from THOMAS JENKINS OFMARYLAND at page 105 and HISTORY OF UNION COUNTY KENTUCKY 1886, page239. See husband's notes for more detailed source.

In addition to Alethaire (Althea or Allie) being Teresa (Payne)Jenkins daughter-in-law, we must recognise that they are related toeach other by virture of two common ancestors. They are first cousinsonce removed by virtue of their common ancestor, Basil Payne (1102).Basil is Teresa's grandfather and is Alethair's great-grandfather.They are also related through William Spalding (1128) as third cousinsonce removed. William is Teresa's maternal 2g grandfather and he isAlethair's maternal 3g grandfather.

Presumably she was named after her great-grandmother Alethaire Abell(1144) Spalding and her great-aunt Alethaire Spalding, (1155) sisterof her grandfather, William (1156).

In an article on the life of Teresa Payne's son Dr. John T. SpaldingJenkins (64) in HISTORY OF UNION COUNTY, KY, op.cit. at pp 238-240, itstates "On the tenth day of May, 1864, he married Miss Alethea AnnPayne, daughter of John Payne of Union County (Kentucky)." Again onpage 642 it states "The physician next in succession to R. H. C. Rhea,Sr. was Dr. J. T. Jenkins, from Louisville, his wife being AlliePayne, daughter of John Payne and Jane Spalding." From these weconclude that Alethea Ann Payne is the daughter of this John Payne andJane Catherine Spalding.

Fourth Great-grandfather of James Joseph Sparks

WILL:
The last will of Basil Payne dated January 29, 1811 mentions his wifeMargaret, and his children Thomas, Joseph, Basil, John, Richard andMargaret Edwards. Executor is Thomas Payne. Witnesses James H.Warthen, James Milton, Richard Milton and James Cook.

A photocopy of this willis in the possession of James J. Sparks, San Carlos, CA. (Will copiedbelow.)

CENSUS:
1790 United States Census, St. Mary's Co., MD:
Payne, Basil; Free white males 16 & over, 2: under 16, 5; free females3; slaves, 1. (This census establishes a family in 1790 of 6 malechildren and 2 females. The will mentions 5 male children and onefemale: Thomas, Joseph, Basil, Jr., John, Richard, and MargaretEdwards.) The one male child and one female not mentioned in thewill probably died before Basil. Also mentioned in the same censuswere John B. Payne with one male and three females and James Paynewith 2 males, 3 females and one slave. We know that John "Jackie"Payne was born about 1778 and married Catherine Smith in October 1798so the John B. Payne in the census of 1790 was not him.

1800 United States Census, St. Mary's Co., MD.
Pain, Basel (sic) 00201-01000
This indicates that there were 2 males 16-26, one male over 45, andone female 10 to 16 in the family. Richard was married in 1802, and,since he is not shown separately in the census of 1800, he wasprobably one of the two males still enumerated with his father.

**********

According to THOMAS JENKINS OF MARYLAND, 1670, by Edward FelixJenkins,
O.S.A., at pp 39 & 62, Jane Spalding (1220) was a first cousin ofThomas Spalding, Jr. (1208) who was the father of Catherine Spalding(1358 ) and the grandfather of Teresa Payne (1074). Jane married aMr. Lowe and had a daughter, name unknown, who married the abovewitness to Basil Payne's Will, James H. Wathen. Their children arenamed on page 62. Catherine Spalding Payne and the wife of JamesHanson Wathen were great-grandchildren of William Spalding (1128) andAnn Jenkins Spalding (100).

MISCELLANEOUS:
In the search for Basil's family, we find in Saint Mary's County WillBook TA 1, pg 217, reference to the last will of Thomas Payne dated1747. He could be of the proper age to be Basil's grandfather."Spouse: Elizabeth; Children: Joseph, Thomas, John, Diana, Elizabeth,Isaac, Mary."

On pg 862, MARYLAND WILL BOOK 31, Part I, it states "John Payn of St.Michael's Hundred in St. Mary's County. To my mother ElizabethHarrison (I leave) my estate. I appoint William Harrison and mymother, Executors. 1/20/1763. Witnesses: John Langley, George Smootand Thomas Crawley . Will probated 2/8/1763. Is this latter John"Payn" the same John who was a son of Thomas who died in 1747? It ispossible that Elizabeth Payne married William Harrison after the deathof Thomas. John died apparently without leaving children. Thatleaves Joseph or Thomas as possible fathers of Basil who wouldprobably have been born in the 1730s or 40s. Notice that Basil'soldest son and primary beneficiary was named Thomas, possibly afterBasil's "father" Thomas.

A Joseph Payne married a Mary Gibbs on 1 June, 1730 in Ann ArundelCounty, St. Ann's Parish, Vol. 1 of records. This is the rankest ofspeculation i.e. Thomas b.ca. 1670 m Elizabeth ca.1700; (Joseph b.ca.1700; m. Mary Gibbs 1731); Thomas Jr., b.ca. 1700, married ???;Basil b.ca . 1735, d.1811 age 76. Since Joseph married a Mary Gibbs,Thomas is the most likely candidate as Basil's father. Worthinvestigating . Check records of Ann Arundel County (see above forJoseph's marriage) or Charles County (see below for Basil witnessing awill in 1768).

In MARYLAND EARLY SETTLERS, Lib. 15, Part 1, Sec. 144, pg 409: RICHARDPAYNE (PANE) rights proved. (Is this rights to acreage on hisimmigration?) Who is this Richard and when did this occur?

ANALYSIS:
Basil Payne witnessed the Last Will of Alexander Smith Hawkins dated 7Sep 1768. Alexander died in Charles County, MD. Probate commenced 16Jan 1769. (Folio 36, Page 689). This is the earliest record of BasilPayne who could have been about 35 years old. The first mention ofthe Basil Payne family in St. Mary's County is found (see above)Herman Mattingly's book where Basil and Margaret sponsored JohnMattingly, son of William and Mary Mattingly, on November 24, 1776.See below for a record involving Basil Payne in Charles County in1772.
There are several Payne subscribers to the Oath's of Allegience of St.Mary's County in 1778 but no Basil and no Joseph. There is a Richardand a John but no proof that they are Basil's sons. The next mentionof Basil Payne is found in Father O'Rourke's book listing the Militiaof St. Mary's County in 1794 which includes Basil Joseph, his son, anda James and John, as members. The next mention of a Payne in St.Mary's County is the marriage of Richard to Catherine in 1802, and thelast is Basil's probate in 1811. It is notable that no births ofthe children of Basil and Catherine can be found in the church recordspreserved in Father O'Rourke's book . Nor are there records ofmarriages which mention Basil or Margaret.

It is apparent that the family must have come to St. Mary's countyfrom another location before 1776. Charles County is possible. SeeMARYLAND GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY BULLETIN, Volume 25, No. 2, Spring 1984,Charles County Maryland Probate Records, Inventories, Part II,1753-1779, item 516: "William Payn - 22 Jan 1772 - no kindred inMaryland - Basil Payne Admr."

Also found relating to Charles County is an entry from the MARYLANDGENEALOGICAL SOCIETY BULLETIN, Volume 25, No. 1, Winter, 1985 whichcontains records of the Charles County Deeds 1743-1744, Liber 2 atpage 61 we find the following entry:
"Ignatius Mitchell of Charles County, 27 Feb 1743. 19 Jan 1743, JohnPayn of Charles County, planter & wife Eleanor Payn to IgnatiusMitchell of Charles County, Joynor. For labor of 2 slaves duringlives, a table to be delivered at next Christmas, "Rally" 200 acres,part of "Payns Addition" 140 acres & part "Payns Second Addition" 216acres. Witness: Robert Hanson & Wm. Eilbeck. Memorandum to witresidue unsold to Wm MacPherson."

Thomas Payne died 18 Jan 1747 in St. Mary's Co. Will Book 25, p277 .Wife Elizabeth, children Mary, Isaac, Joseph, John, Diana andElizabeth. ( See above).
Will of Catherine Peek or Peeke, Book 38, ca p.100? St. Mary's Countydated Nov 17 1770, refers to son John Baptist Payne, granddaughterElizabeth Payne, John Baptist is also executor. Her husband is notnamed.

See THE MATTINGLY FAMILY IN EARLY AMERICA by Herman E. Mattingly (1975); marriage records,

FHL985186 Genealogical Cards: These cards are not authority but a cardon Basil Payne Jr. reveals that he was married (1st) to (Sarah?)Elizabeth Mattingly and (2nd) Polly Mattingly (niece of ElizabethMattingly) . Elizabeth was born in 1774 in St. Mary's Co., MD. anddied in Marion Co., KY. They had several children of which two arenamed Charles Henry Payne aka Harry, and William Payne. PollyMattingly was the daughter of John Mattingly and Mary (Polly) Fenwick. They apparently had no issue.

One of the names in the list was John Payne.He had been married in St. Mary's County in 1798. We also know thathis brother Richard and his wife Catherine had married later in 1802and settled in Nelson County, Kentucky where several of their childrenwere born.

See THE HISTORY OF UNION COUNTY, KY., 1886 published in Evansville IN.by the Courier Co, Printers, Binders and Engravers, FHL 976.9885H2h,at page 628:

"Due east from our point of view, was another settlement made sometimein the eighteenth century, by John (Jacky) Payne, his wife being KatieSmith; they were Roman Catholics, from St. Mary's County, Maryland;his direct descendants are still there. His grandson John S. Payne,who married Matilda Cruz, daughter of John B. Cruz and Mintie Wathen,owns the old homestead, and is rearing (1886) the fourth generation onthe same soil and with all the modern improvements on the plow share,scythe and cycle, commanding mother earth to give forth abundantfruits to his husbandry. Towards the northeast were two settlements,one by Thomas Thompson, which his son inherited, and is now owned byhis grandsons, John and Thomas Thompson; the other by Nathaniel Floyd.His wife is a Miss Jeffers. They were from Maryland, and settled whereE. C. Willett now lives."

"A few years later between the two, settled Timothy B. Mills, whomarried a daughter of Jacky Payne and Katie Smith. The place hesettled bought by the above-named Thompsons, and is now owned bythem."

THE HISTORY OF UNION COUNTY KENTUCKY 1868, FHL 976.9885H2h pg 654- 5:

"JOHN SPALDING PAYNE, farmer of Waverly Precinct, is the son of Johnand Jane Catherine (Spalding) Payne. His father was born on thepresent home farm of our subject in 1814; he married there in 1838,and died in Waverly Precinct in August, 1881; he was interested in theCivil War, and went South several times presumably on business for theConfederacy. He was taken to Louisville once on account of hissympathy with the Confederacy, and also to Uniontown. The mother ofour subject was also born in Union County in 1821, and is still livingin Uniontown. Mr. Paynes' paternal grandfather John Payne, who openedthe farm at Waverly, was born in St. Mary's County, MD. in 1806(**Should be 1776, see comment below); came to Union County in 1811,and died at T. B. Mills' house in 1858.

"Our subject's maternal grandfather, William F. Spalding, a farmer ofUniontown Precinct, was born in Marion County in 1795; married a MissWathen there, and coming to Union at a very early day, died here in1870. Our subject was born where he now lives, on January 17, 1845.He received some 10 years training in the schools of Waverly Precinct,and then attended Cecilian College for two years. He was marriedfirst in 1875, but his wife died, and in October, 1881, he was marriedto Matilda Cruz, the daughter of John B. and Minta (Wathen) Cruz, whocame from one of the oldest families in the county. Her grandfathers,Peter Cruz and Frank Wathen are both dead. Her grandfather Wathenmarried a Miss Clements. She was born in 1859. Emma and John Hudsonare the children who have been born of this union.

"Our subject has travelled extensively in Tennessee, Arkansas,Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Indiana and Louisiana, but is stillliving on the old home farm where he cares for one hundred eightyacres, and raises some of the finest horses in this part of Kentucky.His colt, "Harry Cruz," made 1 1/16 miles in the fastest time. "KatieGill" was another of his fast colts, and "Eddie Payne" sold for $300when he was but two years old. Mr. Payne now owns "Lillie B," a verypromising filly that is only a year old (January 1886), and she isentered for the Covington races next year. Mr. Payne's residence is asubstantial frame, romantically situated upon a hill that overlooksthe long town of Waverly and the track of the Ohio Valley Railroad. Itwas erected in 1878. In politics, Mr. Payne is a Democrat . Inreligion he is a Catholic. He is a man of broad views and knowledge,yet faithful to his training and home. A high compliment to hisnative sod is, that a man of Mr. Payne's intelligence should havetraveled so much, and still have come back there to live his yearsout."

(**) This date is wrong. His son John was born in 1814. There is amarriage of record of a John Payne to Mary Smith in St. Mary's Co .MD, on 20 October 1798. (Quotation is from MARRIAGES AND DEATHS, ST.MARY 'S COUNTY MARYLAND 1634-1900 on page 234 citing Catholic ParishRecords

He was taken to Louisville once onaccount of his sympathy with the Confederacy, and also to Uniontown.The mother of our subject was also born in Union County in 1821, andis still living in Uniontown."

MARRIAGE:
See UNION COUNTY, KENTUCKY MARRIAGE BOOKS 1811-1883, FHL 976.988 5V28h at 1837: PAYNE, JOHN - JANE C. SPAULDING, February 10, 1837

SPECULATION:
In an article on the life of Teresa Payne's son Dr. John T. SpaldingJenkins (64) in HISTORY OF UNION COUNTY, KY, op.cit. at pp 238-240, itstates "On the tenth day of May, 1864, he married Miss Alethea AnnPayne, daughter of John Payne of Union County (Kentucky)." Again onpage 642 it states "The physician next in succession to R. H. C. Rhea,Sr. was Dr. J. T. Jenkins, from Louisville, his wife being AlliePayne, daughter of John Payne and Jane Spalding." From these weconclude that Alethea Ann Payne is the daughter of this John Payne andJane Catherine Spalding.
In TOM JENKINS OF MD on pg 76, in an article on the children of JohnR. Jenkins and Teresa (Payne) Jenkins, specifically their son George,it states that he "married Henrietta Payne, born 1846; died 1906;sister of Alethea Payne who married his brother (John T.)." Thus itappears likely that Alethea and Henrietta were daughters of John andJane Catherine (Spalding) Payne (1070) and sisters of John SpaldingPayne (1072).
If the assumptions about John (Jacky) Payne being a son of Basil Payne
are correct, we have:
Basil Payne

NOTES:
According to an email from Louis Payne of Henderson, Kentucky,(lipayne@ hotmail.com) "Mary would marry a Cornelius Payne in 1823.He being the son of John and Dorathy (sic) Payne that I (Louis Payne)am researching." Louis asks if Mary's father Basil could be the sonof my Basil. Maybe so.

See ST. MARY'S COUNTY, MARYLAND, MARRIAGE LICENSES, FHL 975.241:
A certifed copy of the Marriage Licenses issued out of the CircuitCourt for St. Mary's County, Maryland from 1794 to 1830, pg. 21: 1802,May 22 Richard Payne - Catherine Spalding. See MARRIAGES AND DEATHS,ST. MARY'S COUNTY, MARYLAND FHL 975.241V2 f: 22 May 1802,Richard Payne and Catherine Spalding.

SUMMARY:
We can be fairly sure that Richard Payne and Catherine Spalding arethe parents of Teresa Payne because of the record of Teresa's marriageto John Jenkins. The bond was signed by her brother Hillary. Inreading the above cited sources, we learned that many Paynes migratedto Nelson County,
KY., from St. Mary's County, Maryland. A check of those recordsrevealed the marriage of Richard and Catherine in that county on 22May, 1802 . We are speculating that he is the son of Basil Payne whosewill was filed January 29, 1811 and which mentions a son Richard.

The will of Basil Payne mentions a daughter, Margaret Edwards. Shewas married to Ignatius Edwards on 8 February, 1805, three years afterRichard and Catherine, at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in St.Mary's County. Check all church records for Richard's marriage.

NOTES:
Richard Payne is shown as a witness to a will executed in NelsonCounty, KY., in 1833. No cite.

In the Chronicles of St. Mary's, Vol 4, No. 7, July, 1956, thereappears a list of those citizens of St. Mary's County who, in 1778,took the oath of allegiance swearing fidelity to the new government asfollows:

I do swear that I do not hold myself bound to yield any Allegiance orobedience to the King of Great Brittain his heir or Successors; Andthat I will be true and faithfull to the State of Maryland,and will to the utmost of my power, support, maintain and defend thefreedom and independence thereof and the Government now EstablishedAgainst all open Enemies and secret and traitorous conspiraces andwill use my utmost Endeavors to disclose and make known to theGovernor or some one of the Judges, or Justices thereof, all Treasonand Traitorous conspiraces,attempts or Combinations againstthis State or the Government thereof, which may come to my knowledge.SO HELP ME GOD.

RESEARCH:

Under Hillary Payne, note shows deeds to him from William Payne in1832 and from Alexander Payne in 1856. They could both be related toHillary, possibly uncles. They are not in Basil's will however. Ilearned of the marriage of a Basil Payne and Sarah Mattingly inWashington Co., VA. , on or April 21, 1797. There is also a JamesPayne, aged 45 in the 1870 census of Washington Co., VA. Thus Jameswould have been born in 1835.
