| Notes |
- Elder son of William (4) and Ruth (Grover) Payne. He was a man of strong constitution and great vigor of mind, determined and obstinate. Some authorities give him credit for living one hundred and five years, and the date of his birth is not absolutely certain, but the above is approximately correct. When Washington's army was stationed in front of Boston he was eighty-three years old, and when asked why he visited camp, he replied: "I come to encourage my son and grandsons, and see that they do their duty to their country." He resided in that part of Norton which is now Mansfield, at a time when it was infested with wild animals, and slaughtered many wolves. He married (first) April 18, 1717, Tabitha Waite, born 1692, died April 7, 1721, leaving a son William. He married (second) Nov. 6, 1722, Elizabeth Sweetsir, a widow. Three of their children are recorded in Malden: Elizabeth, Edward and Thomas, the latter born 1726. No record appears of the others except that family tradition gives two, Ruth and Susannah. It is probable that there were two others.
