Biography

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Paine-548

LNAB = Paine. No early records for William are known to exist. The early colony records spell his name Paine more often than Payne. Paine is also the first occurrences in those records.

William Paine / Payne was an early resident of New Haven Colony.[1] Nothing is known of his life before he arrived in New Haven. There were a few William Paynes who migrated to New England on known ships, but none of them were this colonist.

He married twice. The name of his first wife, who was the mother of his children, never occurs in New Haven records. He married in later life, Mary Edwards, the widow of Francis Brown. She died in 1693.[1]

William Paine died in 1684.[1] His inventory was taken 11 Jan 1685.[2][3] His inventory lists shoemakers' tools and quite a bit of land. His inventory was valued at £417.[2]

On 18 November 1679,[2] William signed, and Mary Browne made her mark on an Articles of agreement before they got married. This agreement is recorded in Wiliams' probate after his inventory. They agreed that "whatever estate each of them stands to possess of at their marriage both real and personal, it shall be for their mutual comfort and subsistence during their natural life". If William died first, Mary would only have the dwelling house, barn, and homestead together with one-third part of the upland, both arable and woodland, and one-third part of the meadow during her natural life". It then divided the estate between all their children.
