Dear Kary, I met a lady that said our ansestors were related to the South Carolina Paynes thru the line of Opal Payne who is still living. I have not yet been able to contact her but she is suppose to know John D Payne's South Carolina relatives.
I am the great great grand daugter of John D Payne thru Enoch Payne and his son( my father) Joe Payne who is still living you could probably contact my father for more info on the payne family.
I know Rayge, I saw him a few months ago, in church. My father is Joe Payne, he and Rayge are first cousins. Most of what I know is located in the gedcom file I refrenced above. You can email me at bloodviolet@gmail.com. Ask me whatever you want, if I know I'll tell you... I might even be able to dig up some old family photos to share.
I been doing research too. I found out that we are related to Opal Payne of Habersham County and that she is an elderly Lady that knows the relatives of John D Payne from South Carolina I how ever havent found her number or address as of yet but will try to find out soon. Love ya Alesia
