In April, 2000, I received information concerning Walter Payne fromThomas W. Hancock (2ggrandson of Jackie Payne) , of John P. Hancock,of Jane Payne and Robert Irvin Hancock, Sr. Jane Payne is a daughterof John Spalding Payne, a son of Jackie Payne. Tom Hancock sent hisentire Gedcom file by email and the great bulk of information on thedescendants of John "Jackie" Payne came from him, for which I amgrateful. While I had information on all of the other children,Walter was not included. On the other hand, Tom Hancock had noinformation on Bernard Cruz Payne in his data base.

William was married to "a daughter of John Mattingly."
