See ST. MARY'S COUNTY, MARYLAND, MARRIAGE LICENSES, FHL 975.241:
A certifed copy of the Marriage Licenses issued out of the Circuit Courtfor St. Mary's County, Maryland from 1794 to 1830, pg. 21: 1802, May 22Richard Payne - Catherine Spalding. See MARRIAGES AND DEATHS, ST.MARY'S COUNTY, MARYLAND FHL 975.241V2 f: 22 May 1802, Richard Payneand 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 marriage toJohn Jenkins. The bond was signed by her brother Hillary. In readingthe above cited sources, we learned that many Paynes migrated to NelsonCounty,
KY., from St. Mary's County, Maryland. A check of those records revealedthe marriage of Richard and Catherine in that county on 22 May, 1802 .We are speculating that he is the son of Basil Payne whose will was filedJanuary 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, tookthe oath of allegiance swearing fidelity to the new government as follows:

I do swear that I do not hold myself bound to yield any Allegianceor obedience to the King of Great Brittain his heir or Successors; Andthat I will be true and faithfull to the State of Maryland, andwill to the utmost of my power, support, maintain and defend the freedomand independence thereof and the Government now Established Against allopen Enemies and secret and traitorous conspiraces and will use myutmost Endeavors to disclose and make known to the Governor or some oneof the Judges, or Justices thereof, all Treason and Traitorousconspiraces,attempts or Combinations against this State or the Governmentthereof, 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 James Payne,aged 45 in the 1870 census of Washington Co., VA. Thus James would havebeen born in 1835.
