| 2. | William Randolph Payne was born on 10 Feb 1732 in Goochland, Goochland Co, Virginia (son of Josias Payne, Sr. and Anne Fleming); died on 2 Mar 1822 in Fluvanna Co, Virginia. Notes:
William Payne, son of Josias Payne,
"the elder," and his wife, Ann Flem-
ing, was born February 10, 1732, Old
Style, so was just one day older than
General Washington As another dis-
tinction, he was the uncle of "Dolly"
Madison, and was first cousin to Rob-
ert Burton Payne, with whom my pre-
vious Payne sketch began. He died
March 2, 1S12. His father, who had
removed from Goochland to Pittsyl-
vania County, devised to him, with
other property, a tract of 400 acres in
Fluvanna, on which he took up his
residence and became prominent in
the community and rather wealthy.
He married twice (so family records).
First, on March 6, 1755, Mary Barrett,
born January 15, 1737, and second,
(about 1766, Susanna Thompson, daugh-
ter of George Thompson and grand-
daughter of Joseph Thompson, the
first sheriff of Albemarle County, of
