George Payne Probate Record Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Note: The packet containing this estate record appears to have papers missing. A bond filed on 15 Oct 1868 had portions cut out with scissors or razor. What follows is transcribed from a photocopy of the original document in which heirs of the estate of Geo! rge Payne sign for receipt of their portions. The case of the "estate of Geo. Payne" was entered 15 Oct 1868, so presumably George died shortly before that date. The record indicates that he died without a will. George and Matilda Payne lived in Rockport. I! t is presumed that Matilda died before George as she is not mentioned in the list of heirs. Fanny A Burton, the wife of James Burton, was a daughter of George and Matilda. File #D-1831 Received Cleveland O Nov 2 1870 of Dan R Tilden Probate Judge the sum of One Hundred Eleven and 11/000 Dollars in full for the distributive share of the Minors of Fanny A Burton dec'd in the estate of George Payne dec'd as shown by the final apc of Henry W !

At that time the parents were in their 40s. It is interesting to note that Fanny and Matilda died before their father did and that thei! r children received their portions of his estate. Mary Ann, Albert and Amelia signed for their portions, as did Fanny's husband, James Burton. Since pages may be missing from the document, the whereabouts of William George, Thomas and Charles Payne are unkn! own. The administrator of the estate, Henry W. Payne, was another son of George. He died in early 1871 while his wife was pregnant with their fourth child. ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #9 Date: Thu, 5 Aug 1999 05:31:38 -0400 From: Maggie Stewart-Zimmerman To: OH-FOOTSTEPS-L@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <199908050536_MC2-7FC7-7255@compuserve.com> Subject: Next County: TUSCARAWAS COUNTY Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline TUSCARAWAS COUNTY OHIO DATE CREATED - 1808 PARENT COUNTY - Muskingum COUNTY SEAT - New Philadelphia SURROUNDED BY: NORTH - Stark County NORTHEAST - Carroll County SOUTHEAST - Harrison County SOUTH - Guernsey County SOUTHWEST - Coshocton County NORTHWEST - Holmes County Tuscarawas County Genealogy Society Library & Archives Tuscarawas County Genealogy Society http://web1.tusco.net/tuscgen/society.htm P.

He served as a private, ensign, 2nd lieutenant and 1st lieutenant in Col. Daniel Brodheat's 8th Pennsylvania regiment. He was with General Washington during the bitter winter at Valley Forge. He was wounded and discharged in 1779. He reenlisted and transferred to the frontiers of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Kentucky and was with General Clark on some raids of Shawnee towns. After his discharge he moved form Pennsylvania to Mason County Kentucky with his family. Since he had seen the Ohio territory while serving under General Clark and like it so much, he and other married children of his family located on a tract of land in Champaign County, Ohio in 1805. The portion of Champaign County in which he settled later became Clark County. A year later he was given a grant of land for his military service in Dublin, Franklin County, Ohio. The land was located on the east bank of the Sciota River. He lived there until his death in 1807. He and his wife were interred in the Deardorff Cemetery near Dublin, Ohio. The bodies were moved in later years and the location is unknown. James E.
