HELP !!!!!! I descend from Thomas Payne & Mary Montague, and this posting changes everything. Is there a chance that there is more than one Mary Montague floating around Middlesex Co., Virginia in the late 1600's? The Christ Church Parish Register records the marriage of Thomas Paine and Mary Montague (if widow, why not her married last name?)on 24 October 1682. Now, the Christ Church Parish Register records the burial of Mary Payne on 17 Feb 1685/86. Is this a different Mary Payne?
Another problem is the fact that Thomas Payne marries a woman by the surname Elliott according to the following information:
From Tidewater Va. Families - Gen. Pub. Co.:
In June 1692, Richard Hutchens was a witness for Captain Edward Thomas, and was paid for his court attendance according to law. In 1698, Richard witnessed a deed for John Miller, and in 1700 he proved the will of John Ellett, who was the father-in-law of Thomas Payne.
1694 Thomas Payne of South Farnham Parish in county of Essex ... "Indenture to Richard Hutchens of ye said Parish and county .... parcel of land and plantation where I now live situated in ye aforesaid Parish of South Farnham containing by examination one hundred seventy-seven acres, with all appurtances and houses building edifaces, structures, gardens, orchards, fences there unto belonging or appertaining to ye land." For this Richard paid 2000 pounds of sweet-scented tobacco. The deed was written on Feb 4 1694, and was recorded on Feb 11, 1694. On that same day, Richard gave Mr. Edward Adock a permit for free passage through his land to Thomas Payne's landing at the Rappahannock River. He also offered to help Mr. Payne's father-in-law to find timber. The document was signed by Richard with his mark R."
It would appear by this that Thomas Payne is still alive as late as 11 Feb 1694/95. When does Mary Montague marry for the third time?
Would really like to clear this up. Any & all help would be greatly appreciated.
