William Payne, Sr.

Notes

http://www.jeaniesgenealogy.com/2013/05/english-ancestry-of-william...

The parish register begin in 1558 so we can only trace the family to that time. A William Paine Sr. died in 1587 and a William Paine died in 1583, either of these could be him. I think he was the William who died in 1587.

In 1559 a birth of a Thomas Paine was recorded in the Lavenham parish records. He was, most likely, the son of William Jr., who was presumably now married and living in Lavenham, some seven or eight miles from Boxted. William's brother Thomas married Agnes Wyatt in 1561 and their sister Agnes married George Seargentson in Lavenham in 1565.

William Jr. and his wife, possibly the Widow Joane Payne who died in 1594 had at least two sons, the Thomas born in 1559 and a son William III. This William is the one who married Agnes Neves of Lavenham in 1584. The births of their children are recorded in the Lavenham parish records beginning with Elizabeth, my ancestor, who was born in 1586.
