1. JOHN1 PAYNE was born 1615 in England, and died 1690 in Rappahannock Co., Virginia. He married MARGARET.
Notes for JOHN PAYNE:

John Payne was born 1615 in England and he married Margaret?. He died in 1690 in Rappahannock Co., Virginia and was buried at "Red House" (Cedar Hill), now in Westmoreland County, Virginia. His grave iis not marked, but a bronze tablet indicates the approximate location thereof. It has been impossible to determine the maiden name of John Paye's wife margaret, and there is nothing of unquestionable value on which to hazard a guess. She first appears in the records in 1652, when land was granted for her importation: and last in 1674, when she unites with her husband in a deed. In 1655 her husband was granted land for her importation. She was possibly his second wife.

John Payne was a ship owner, as evidenced by the fact that in 1653 the Lancaster County Court paid him for provisioning and transporting Burgesses from lancaster to james Town. At this date Mr. John Payne was charged with five tithables. In 1654 Mr. John Payne was ordered by the Court to appraise the contents of Mr. Raleigh Traver's tobacco warehouse. In the same year the records show that he made a trip to England: upon his return in 1655 he moved to and occupied his plantation on Pepetick Creek, then in Lancaster County near what is now Leedstown. This town was not founded, however, until 1742.

The old family grave yard, where John Payne was undoubtedly buried, is still in use, being, until recently, surrounded by the remains of a rapidly disappearing mound, and overgrown with a dense tangle of brush, weeds, honeysuckle, and periwinkle. A description of its restoration is given in the chapter on Homes. Bishop Payne in his letter to Bishop Meade, appearing in the latter's "Old Churches and Families of Virginia", calls this old home "Red House", and says "it was immediately in rear of Bunker Hill and three miles from Leedstown. The original house has long since disappeared. The present owner of the estate is Mr. Harry W. Coates. It has been known for many years as "Cedar Hill". He bought 940 acres in 1653 in Lancaster County on Pepetick Creek, on N.S.R.R. in that region of Lancaster County then known as Rappahannock, and which in 1656 was organized as Rappahannock County. He did not occupy this land until some years later. Pepetick Creek (called Pedee and Perpertocks on current U.S. Geological Survery maps) is today in Westmoreland and flows int the Rappahannock River about two and a half miles below Leedstown.

2. WILLIAM PAYNE2 SR. (JOHN1 PAYNE) was born 1652. He married (1) MRS. FRANCE CLEMENTS 1688. He married (2) ELIZBETH POPE 1691 in Westmoreland Co., Virginia, daughter of HUMPHREY POPE and ELIZABETH. She was born June 1667, and died 1716.

Notes for WILLIAM PAYNE SR.:
Excerpts from the book "The Paynes of Virginia" by Colonel Brook Payne

WILLIAM PAYNE SR. born 1652 married Elizabeth Pope 1691 in Westmoreland County, Virginia, died in February 1698 in Westmoreland County, leaving a will dated 31 January 1697/8 (23 February 1697/8; buried in Yeocomico Churchyard, Westmoreland County; grave is not marked. He was a merchant, planter, Justice, and probably shipowner. His first wife was Mrs. Frances Clements, married in 1688 in Westmorland Co. The earliest recognized Court reference to him is found in Rappahannock County 1673, when "William Payne, son of Mr. John Payne" recorded the earmark of his cattle---"three slits in each ear, and the middle slit cropt" This reference and the composite of the 17 traditional versions abstracted in the Introduction under the title of Genesis of the Virginia Families, particularly the 6th. and 10th. taken in conjunction with the fact that the 1673 reference cannot be made to fit any other William Payne found in the Northern Neck records of this period, and that the McCartys, Lees, Fitzhughs, and Popes continued to be neighbors of or to intermarry with the Paynes of Leedstown and their descendants, are accepted by me after 15 years research in the matter as satisfactory proof of the identity of the said William Payne as the son of John whom I call the immigrant and who is the subject of the first sketch in this history. Particularly convincing is the fact, shown by the document referred to in Version 10 and still preserved in the family, that my great-grandfather Captain William Payne (1, 1755) recognized his relationship to the Paynes of Fairfax Co. near whom he lived. I lay stress on this point of the identity of the said William Payne because it is a critical one, and one that many of my readers will want expounded.

His first wife was Mrs. Frances Powell and they had one child, Anne.

Child of WILLIAM SR. and MRS. CLEMENTS is:
3. i. ANNE3 PAYNE, b. 1689, Westmoreland Co., VA; d. 1712, Westmoreland Co., VA.

Children of WILLIAM SR. and ELIZBETH POPE are:
4. ii. WILLIAM PAYNE3 JR., b. 10 August 1692, Westmoreland Co., Virginia.
iii. EDWARD PAYNE, b. 1693, Westmoreland Co., Virginia; d. 1702.
Notes for EDWARD PAYNE:
His father's will dated 31Jany 1697, 8 referred to him as his second son, and left to him 700 acres in Stafford County adjacent to Captain Peale. Apl 1702 Daniel McCarty and wife Elizabeth (Edward's mother) applied for administration of the estate of "Edward Paine, deceased, son of William and Elizabeth Paine". the court appointed Mr Thomas Garland, Mr. Nathaniel Garland, Mr. George Eskridge, and Mr. james Orchard as Appraisers. Edward's uncle Humphrey Pope was security for the administrators. Upon Edwardd's death his land in Stafford develoved upon his brother and heir-at-law William. It lay about three miles south of what is now Fairfax court house.

5. iv. ELIZABETH PAYNE, b. 1695, Westmoreland County..
v. MARY PAYNE, b. 1697.

Notes for MARY PAYNE:
Mary Payne was born about 1697 in Westmoreland county; no record of death.

Her father's will dated 1697/8 referred to her as under 16; on reaching that age she was to receive 20,000#. the will of her step-father Daniel McCarty dated 1724 referred to her as Mary Burns, and gave her a Bible with the hope that she would make good use of it. The records of Westmoreland Co., fail to throw any light on her history, or to furnish any suggestion as to her husband's first name.

Generation No. 3

3. ANNE3 PAYNE (WILLIAM PAYNE2 SR., JOHN1 PAYNE) was born 1689 in Westmoreland Co., VA, and died 1712 in Westmoreland Co., VA. She married VINCENT COX 1704 in Westmorland County, VIrginia, son of VINCENT COX SR..

Notes for ANNE PAYNE:
From the book " The Paynes of Virginia" by Colonel Brooke Payne

Her father's will, written 31 Jany 1697/8, makes the following provisions: "to my eldest daughter Anne by a fromer venture all my land on the Eastern side of the plantation fence where I now live bounded from the upper end of the home orchard, as far as my field goes, and on the other side as far as Mr. Alexander Spence's Gutt (defined as a contracted strait connecting two bodies of water); she to be possessed of it at 16 or marriage; also two negroes--Garter, etc., all hogs now on land where Footman lived and all corn on same, my ed and furniture belonging to porch chanber, the glass which is in the hall, one oval table, a carpet, 6 Russia leather chairs, 6 cows, and 6 ewes. On my death she is to be possessed of all above together with the negro left her by Mr. Jadwin's will; also the produce of 5Lbs that I sent by Mr. Steel to be disposed of for my use at New Castle in Linner (not identified), and 2 hogsheads of tobacco, 800 lbs. each, out of the crop on my plantation. She is to pay my daughter Mary 10,000# when the latter is sixteen. Daughter Nannie and son William are joint executors of my will, but since they are under age, I appoint my loving friend Richard Lee of Lower Machotique guardian to my children. My daughter Anne Payne is to go immediately after my death to Colonel Lee's house." The land thus bequeathed to her contained 300 acres. Mr. Jeremiah Jadwin, who died 1697 and who was called son in the will of Cecelie Journeau in 1667, left a bequest to his god-daughter "Anne Paine daughter of William Paine of Yeocomico Neck."

1700 Daniel McCarty and wife Elizabeth Pope Payne, widow of William Payne, instituted a suit against Colonel Lee for refusing to yield Anne Payne's 300 acres for division for widow's dower. 1704 Daniel McCarty vs. Richard Lee, executor of William Payne, deceased, during minority of his two children Anne and William (Jr.) Payne, to recover cost of clerk's and sheriff's fees, to which the defendant pleaded that Anne, the wife of Vincent Cox, and one of the executors of William Payne, was of age and ought to have been named in the action. The expression "of age" as herein used probably referred to the provision of her father's will that she should be possessed of her property at 16 or at marriage.

Notes for VINCENT COX:
from the book "The Paynes of Virginia" by Colonel Brooke Payne

Vincent Cox was the son of Vincent Cox of Cople Parish who had a grant of land on Yeocomico River 1662 and died 1698 leaving a will naming 6 children as follows------Charnock, Thomas, Martha, Elizabeth, Anne, and Vincent. /Vincent married Anne Payne and died 1712 leaving a will naming daughters Winifred and Anne. To Winifred he gave a slave named Garter, who had been left to her mother Anne Payne in William Payne's will, and a diamond ring that had belonged to said Anne Payne.

Children of ANNE PAYNE and VINCENT COX are:
i. WINIFRED4 COX.
ii. ANNE COX.

4. WILLIAM PAYNE3 JR. (WILLIAM PAYNE2 SR., JOHN1 PAYNE) was born 10 August 1692 in Westmoreland Co., Virginia. He married (1) ALICIA JONES February 1712/13 in Richmond County, Virginia, daughter of EDWARD JONES and ALICIA LUNN. She died 31 October 1760 in Fairfax County, Virginia. He married (2) ANNE JENNINGS 1 March 1763 in Fairfax County, Virginia. She was born 28 February 1739/40, and died 11 May 1827 in Georgetown, KY.

Notes for WILLIAM PAYNE JR.:
WILLIAM PAYNE Jr. was born 10 August 1692 in Westmoreland County, Virgina married Alicia Jones February 1712/13 in Richmond County, Virginia (1st. wife). The evidence as to the date of his birth exists in the following record In a Court Order Book in Westmoreland County---"26 August 1713 William Paine, son of William Paine, Gentleman, deceased being born the 10th day of August 1692 as appeared to the court to be so entered on the account book of the said William Paine, deceased, and which the Court verily believes to be his own hand writing, personally appeared in court and acknowledged a sale of land to Daniel McCarty, Esquire, and Alicia, wife of said William relinquished her right of dower." This deed was in exchange for land left to William Payne in his father's will, which bequeathed to him "the land I now live on, bounded from the outside fence next my quarter, where Footman lived, so to the mill which mill I give to my wife till said William comes to the age of 16, when he may use half the said land with the whole mill and half of my dwelling house; 2 negroes; one half the residue of my personal estate." William Payne, Jr. and his sister Anne were made joint executors of their father's will

The subject of this sketch lived on the S.S. and near the head of Machodoe River. In 1733 he and his wife Alicia of Truro Parish, Prince William County to George Turberville, stating that the land was that on which they formerly lived and that it was sold to them by Daniel McCarty. In this deed he is recorded as William Payne, Gentleman and Planter. He settled on the 700 acres that he inherited from his brother Edward, which was first in Stafford; in 1731 it was in Prince William County; in 1742 it was in Fairfax County. This estate was near what was later Payne's Church on the Colchester Road.

In and around 1744 he was Sheriff of Fairfax County. 1748 he and Edward Washington were Inspectors of tobacco warehouses at Occoquan and Pohick, Fairfax County, which houses were 7 miles apart by land and 14 by water. 1752 he and Daniel McCarty, son of the above mentioned Daniel, were Church Wardens of Truro Parish; a meeting of the Vestry took place during this year at the home of the Rector, Reverand Charles Green. 1755 he was listed as one of the free-holders in the county. 1756 he was Vestryman at Colchester, at the mouth of Occoquan Creek. 1763 he was on of the Vestrymen of Falls Church, among whom were George Washington, John West, Daniel McCarty, Etc. His services as Sheriff, Church Warden, Vestryman, etc., were not confined to the dates here given merely to indicate the general period of his incumbency.

His will dated 20 June 1769 (16 September 1776) names his sons in the order William, Edward, Sanford, and John, and mentions his wife and daughters, but not by name. His wife is to live on the plantation on which he now lives if she so chooses; otherwise, his son Edward is to possess it. Edward is named as sole executor, and is to have the care and education of testator's son John until the latter reaches the age of 18 or 21 as his guardian sees fit.

Notes for ALICIA JONES:
ALICIA JONES was daughter of Edward Jones of Richmond County, whose marriage to Alicia Lunn on 27 August 1679 is recorded in in South Farnham Parish Register. Edward Jones's will is dated 1715 (1715) and names his daughter Alicia Payne. He was a descendant of Robert Jones of Fleet's Bay, Northumberland County. It is from this Jones family that the names Edward and Sanford come down in this branch of the Payne family. While the births of some of Edward Jones's children are recorded in the above Register, Alicia's does not there appear; it is estimated that she was born about 1686. She died 31 October 1760 in Fairfax County.

5. ELIZABETH3 PAYNE (WILLIAM PAYNE2 SR., JOHN1 PAYNE) was born 1695 in Westmoreland County.. She married JOHN STURMAN.

Notes for ELIZABETH PAYNE:
from the book " The Paynes of Virginia" by Colonel Brooke Payne

Her father's will dated 1697/8 referred to her as under 16. She married John Sturman of Cople Parish, Westmoreland Co., Virginia. The will of her step-father Daniel McCarty, dated 1724, bequeathed to her a Bible and expressed the wish that she make good use of it. The present non-original record of this will names her as Elizabeth Sherman, which name, according to contemporaneous records of Westmoreland County, clearly should be Sturman. 1728 Elizabeth wife of John Sturman of Cople Parish acknowledged a sale of land by her husband to Augustine Washington. About this time John Sturman moved to Fairfax county, probably in company with wife's brother William Payne. 1734 John Sturman witnessed a power of attorney issued by his sister-in-law Mrs. Alicia Payne in Fairfax county, and in 1744 he was candidate for Burgess from Fairfax County. He had at least one child Richard, mentioned in his fathers will.

Child of ELIZABETH PAYNE and JOHN STURMAN is:

6. SANFORD4 PAYNE (WILLIAM PAYNE3 JR., WILLIAM PAYNE2 SR., JOHN1 PAYNE) was born Abt. 1730 in Westmoreland Co., Virginia. He married ABIGAIL LAY. She was born in Loudoun County, Virginia, and died 1822 in Fairfax County, Virginia.

Notes for SANFORD PAYNE:
SANFORD PAYNE was born about 1730 in Westmoreland County, which is purely an estimate as far as the date is concerned, married Abigail Lay of Loundoun County; his will dated 7 April 1787 (17 December 1792) Fairfax County, names his wife and 8 children, of whom several were minors, and recites that he was of Truro Parish. His two eldest sons were named as executors and guardians of the minor children. To his three sons he bequeathed his tract of 400 acres in Fayette Co., Kentucky. 1762 he received from his father one half interest in a mill on Accotink Run on the estate of "Ravensworth" in Fairfax County. 1763 his father gave him a number of slaves and an assortment of household furniture. 1782 the Virginia Census assigned to him 9 white persons and 8 slaves. The census report of 1785 shows 9 whites, 1 dwelling and 5 other buildings. 1782 the Court records of Fairfax County relate that he was reimbursed 8-6-8 pounds by Act of the Assembly for 500 pounds of beef impressed into public service on account of the War. The records of the Land office in Richmond, Virginia and in Fayette County, Kentucky, show registration and grant of 400 acres to Sanford Payne on the head of the South Fork of Salt Creek (also called Salt River), under the dates 1780, 1784, and 1786. It is possible that these three records refer to the same survey of land.

1869 William P. Payne made the following entry in an old Bible belonging to his Aunt Alicia Cooke---"Sanford Payne settled in Virginia. Many of his descendants have come to Kentucky and some have gone further West".

Notes for ABIGAIL LAY:
ABIGAIL LAY was one of 11 children of Abraham Lay of Cameron Parish, Loundoun County, and wed Sarah Grymes, daughter of Nicholas Grymes, Sr. of Loundoun county. The will of Abraham Lay, naming his daughter Abigail, wife of Sanford Payne, is dated 1784 (1785) Loundoun County. The will of his wife Sarah Lay, dated 1798 (1799) Fairfax county, bequeaths to her daughter Abigail Payne "one country cloth petticoat and one Barcelona handkerchief". The will of Nicholas Grymes, recorded 1766 in Loundoun county, names his daughter Sarah lay. The inventory of the estate of Abigail Payne, deceased, was recorded May 1822 in Fairfax County. Her administrator was her son Sanford Payne Jr. He was allowed payment for her board from 1808 to 1820.

Sanford and Abigail Payne had 8 children---Benjamin, George, Sarah, Alicia, Ann, Helen, Sanford and Jane.

7. BENJAMIN5 PAYNE (SANFORD4, WILLIAM PAYNE3 JR., WILLIAM PAYNE2 SR., JOHN1 PAYNE) was born 1761 in Fairfax Co., Virginia. He married (1) HELEN COMBS. He married (2) SUSANNAH ROUSSAU 3 January 1781 in Farquier Co., Virginia, daughter of WILLIAM WYATT and ELIZABETH SNOE.

Notes for BENJAMIN PAYNE:
BENJAMIN PAYNE

Benjamin Payne was born in 1761 in Fauquier County and married (1) Susannah Roussau3 January 1781 in Fauquier County: (2) Helen Combs. He died intestate 1820-1830 in Fauquier County probably early 1828. The marriage bond dated 2 January 1781 is accompanied by a note from his father which reads---Mr. William Roussau Payne:---Sir:---I have understood that my son and your daughter is to be married and I am very willing to it, and I shall come down on Wednesday (which was the third) if possible. I have nothing more to add, and am your humble servant. Sanford Payne. January ye 1st. 1781. It may be reasonably concluded from this consent that Benjamin was a minor.

1787 he was one of executors of his father's will. 1799 he bought land lying in Fauquier and Stafford Counties. 1820 the census of Fauquier County records him as over 45, head of a household consisting of a female over 45, 3 minor children, and 1 girl between 16 and 26. The 1810 census also records him as over 45. In the same year he deeded slaves to his son Sanford Payne. The 1830 census does not account for him.

One of his elderly descendants writes that, for his time, he was a man of wealth, but that his second wife deprived his first wife's children of their birth right. His first wife was daughter of William Roussau and Priscilla of Hamilton Parish, Fauquier County, who in 1787 gave to their daughter Susannah Payne land on branch of Town Run near Bristerburg, Fauquier County. The will of William Roussau 1792 (1798) Fauquier county, whose wife is deceased: names the latter's 4 minor children; names also testator's children---John who went to Georgia, William who married Lydia, Henry who married Sarah, Margaret who married inned Combs, Nancy who married John Peters, grandsons John and William Roussau, and grand daughter Betsy Kerr. The records of Fauquier show the following marriages---Betty Roussau married John Kerr 1769. Margaret Roussau married Innes Combs 1779. Nancy ROUSSAU married John Peters 1783. William Roussau was identical with or son of William Roussau of Westmoreland County who married Elizabeth daughter of Surles and Elizabeth Lewis. The will of Mrs. Elizabeth Lewis 1750 (1751) Westmoreland County, gave her son John Lewis land in Prince William County and named her son-in-law William Roussau as executor. The will of Surles Lewis was recorded 1737. 1750 John Lewis of Caroline County sold land in Hamilton Parish, Prince William County to William Roussau of the latter county. On the creation of Fauquier 1759, this land became a part of it. William Roussau had a brother Henry who lived in Fairfax County.

Benjamin Payne's second wife was daughter of John Combs, brother of Innes (who married Margaret Roussau), Joseph, and Fielding, children of John and Sythe Combs of Stafford County. Helen Combs had a sister Mrs. Calamore.

Notes for SUSAN ANN PAYNE: SUSAN ANN PAYNE (1850-1937)

Susan Ann Payne was born in the early summer of 1850 near Gallatin, Davies County, Missouri.

She was born the second child of Henry and Mary C. (Catherine) Payne. Her brother Charles was one year and some months older than Susan. She had three more brothers and a sister: Horace, James, Henry (name later changed to Layfayette P.) and Mary.

Her childhood and part of her early married years were spent near Gallatin. On the 22 day of July, 1866, she married her first cousin Edward Wiley Payne, the son of the late Edward H. and Eliza Payne. She was a mere sixteen years old, but that's not unusual for that day.

Wiley, who was orphaned at six, was a very ambitious man. He went to school until he was sixteen, then he did some freighting for a couple years. When he was about 28, he bought a farm of his own and a year later was elected to the Missouri Legislature. Then turning his eyes to the new frontier, he moved his family to Barber county, Kansas where he went into ranching and soon acquired a large section of deeded range lands and considerable property in the new town of Medicine Lodge. One property being a newspaper. Their ranch was near Sun City, northwest of Medicine Lodge. In September of 1878, the Cheyennes attacked their ranch, and Wiley and Susan were both wounded and their baby was fatally wounded.

In 1880,Wiley became a member of the great Comanche Cattle Pool. The Merchants and Drovers bank of Medicine Lodge failed on January 10, 1882 and two days later, Wiley Payne picked up the remains and organized them into the Medicine Valley Bank. Wiley Payne was a most important man in the affairs of the town and the region surrounding it. Besides being president of the bank, he was also president of the Great Comanche Cattle Pool, and director in on of the largest and most successful livestock organizations in the world, the Cherokee Strip Livestock Association. Wiley and Susan had nine children: Edward B., Mary A., Estell H., Charles L., John M., Sarah C., Laura L., (killed by Indians) and Lepha E.. They owned a fine home near the river in Medicine Lodge.

On Wednesday morning, April 30, 1884, a little after 9:00, four men rode into the town of Medicine Lodge and forever changed the life of Susan Ann. A robbery attempt at the Medicine Valley Bank, left the cashier, George Geppert, dead and the bank president, Wiley Payne, mortally wounded. He died late in the afternoon of the next day. A posse was promptly organized and the culprits apprehended and hung. among the posse were Wayne McKinney and his brother Alex, cattlemen, who also maintained a livery stable in the town of Medicine Lodge.

Susan was left a widow of some means, but lost much of it in the spring of 1885, when a wicked Winter and spring almost completely wiped out the great cattle herds. Susan was among the heavy losers.

In March 1877, Susan married Anthony Wayne McKinney, a cattleman. Four more children were born to her and Wayne, including twins in 1887, named Ed and Tom. The twins were named for prominent men in Medicine Lodge at that time: Ed Sample , a well known lawyer, and Tom Doran, another cattleman. Ed and Tom were born at Medicine Lodge. Fannie and David Henry were born in Oklahoma Indian Territory where the McKinney's migrated in the early 1890's. Susan left behind her, a life of comfort and prominence, and once again became a pioneer, traveling by covered wagon into the Indian Territory of Northwest Oklahoma.

The McKinney's homesteaded a large farm in what is now Dewey County, Oklahoma, near Seiling. Susan lost her 12 year old daughter, Fannie, on March 21, 1902. Fannie got soaked in a rain storm on her way home from school, and died from pneumonia in less than 8 hours. Wayne's widowed mother, Maria Louisa, was with them part of the time in Oklahoma, and passed away there in February 1908, nearing her 89th year.

Susan and Wayne migrated again in 1915 to northeast New Mexico with their three sons and their families. They homesteaded and farmed in the beautiful Morena Valley, Colfax County near present day Eaglenest, New Mexico. Susan's brother Charles William Payne went with them.

Susan lost her husband of 41 years on April 12, 1928. Susan was living with her son Ed and his wife Dott and family at San Pedro, near Espanola, New Mexico, when she departed this life on July 21, 1937, being 88 years of age. Her body was taken to old Elizabeth town Cemetery in Colfax county, and laid to rest beside her husband Wayne.

Her son Ed McKinney said his mother was the meanest woman he ever knew. Perhaps she had reason to be cantankerous. A woman of humble birth, who gave life to 13 children, rose to a life of prominence, only to loose it all and to be again living a humble existence at her death. She saw much of life and it dealt her some hard blows.

Notes for ANTHONY WAYNE MCKINNEY:

Anthony Wayne McKinney was born 25 October 1845 in Franklin or Gasconde County, Missouri. He was the third son of David McKinney and Maria Louisa Massie. He spent his young years on a farm in Franklin county, Missouri. When the Civil War broke out he joined the Confederate Army at the young age of 16 years. While in the Army, he broke his leg when the mule he was riding run him into a tree. While recuperating, he was using a chair to walk around outside and fell down and broke it again.

On 18 October 1876 he married a woman we only know as Emma S. Puckett To them was born a son on 20 October 1877. Their son Claude Anthony lived about 8 months, departing this life 10 July 1878.

. On March 21, 1887 Wayne married Susan Ann Payne, widow of Wiley Payne. To them were born twin sons on 3 October 1887, Edward Sample and Thomas Wayne. A couple years later they had David Henry, and then after they re-settled to the Indian Territory of Oklahoma, a daughter Fanny was born .

Wayne's family left Franklin Co., Missouri before 1870, going to Johnson County then Lafayette Co., Missouri. Wayne's Parents and brothers spent a few years herding cattle there. It is said their father moved on to Medicine Lodge, Barber co., Kansas in the spring of 1877. John and Wayne were there in 1880. Maria and Alex, their Mother and brother, were still in Lafayette Co., Missouri in 1880. I haven't located their father, David on any 1880 census, so he must have been in transit at that time.

Wayne and his brothers had an interest in a livery stable in Medicine Lodge called "McKinney Brothers Livery". They also worked around the cattle industry. Wayne and brother Alex were among the posse that tracked down the robbers who held up the bank in Medicine Lodge, Kansas, killing the teller and Wiley Payne (first husband of Susan Ann Payne) well known cattleman and owner of the bank.

Wayne's father David left this life 21 April 1888 at Medicine Lodge, Barber Co., Kansas. Wayne and Susan and their three small sons left Medicine Lodge about 1892 or 1893. It is said that Wayne took part in the Oklahoma Land Grab near Seiling, Oklahoma. Wayne's Mother Maria was with them part of the time in Oklahoma. She was with her son Alec in Kansas City in 1900 census. Their daughter Fanny got drenched in a rain storm on her way from school and died of pneumonia within hours, 21 March 1902.

Notes for MARY DOTT BURCHETT:
MAY (MARY) DOTT BURCHETT MCKINNEY was born august 27, 1894 near Princeton, Mercer co., Missouri. She was the third child born to Alfred Burchett and Elnora Stewart Burchett. Her sisters, Myrtle and brother Roy preceded her in birth. there were 3 sisters and 4 brothers to follow: Grace, Ray, Teddy, Ruth, Tom, and twins Leslie and Lillian. (Her name was listed as May in the Burchett Family Bible). One of her sisters referred to her as Dorothy Mae. Her family moved to the Oklahoma Territory when she was but a girl of about 7 years. What an awesome adventure that must have been to travel by covered wagon into the area of the nation specifically designated by the government as the Indian Territory. She grew to womanhood along the Little Canadian River in Northwest Oklahoma, Woodward and Dewey counties. It is thought she was baptized in Deep Creek near Seiling, Oklahoma. Her family attended the Christian Church. It was at church that she became acquainted with Susan Ann (Payne) McKinney. She was hired to help Mrs. McKinney in the summer and fall with her canning. The first time Ed McKinney saw her, she was riding a horse. She had to ford the river to reach the McKinney farm.

She brought into this world six sons and two daughters: James, Wayne, Shirley, Steve, Dave, Stata, Bruce and Larry. The two oldest, James and Wayne, were born in Oklahoma. In 1915 or 16 the McKinneys moved to the Morena Valley of Northeast New Mexico. The rest of the children, with the exception of Larry, were born in the Morena Valley. Larry was born at Miami, New Mexico near Springer

Dott was a small woman, strong but gentle, with the spirit of a pioneer woman. She saw much hardship, but remained close to her God. She always looked for the good in people and tried to teach her children not to be judgmental of others. She spent many years among the Mexican and Native Americans and loved the little dark skinned, black eyed children. She was a friend of the famous pottery maker "Maria", a Tewa Indian native of San Ildefonso Pueblo. She lived next door to Maria and her family, and would baby sit for Maria and her husband while they were making pottery. In return for baby sitting, Maria would give her pottery. Two early black, and one red pots are still in the family.

Dott was living with her family near Espanola, New Mexico in 1946 when she became ill with cancer. Ed took her to Albuquerque for treatment. He bought the home on Barcelona Drive in southwest Albuquerque while she was in the hospital. She never got to see the lovely little house, as she never left the hospital where she passed away on April 25, 1946.

She had lent four of her sons to Uncle Sam during World War II. They all returned home and in time to see their mother before she left them for good. She is buried in Sunset Memorial Park just off Menaul Blvd. in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
