3. SWALLOWE, RICHARD, of Hare Street,A hamlet near Romford within the
Liberty of Havering atte Bower.* 18 Nov., 25 Eliz. Husbandman. To he buried
in the South SideFor many centuries there was, in England, a strong prejudice
against being buried on the north side of the churchyard, and that portion
was usually reserved for the reception of suicides, excommunicate persons,
unbaptized infants and those who had been executed. The place of honor
was at the east end against the chancel wall (see will No. 6). This prejudice
is mentioned by Arnot in his History of Edinburgh. In the "Wise and Faithful
Steward" (1657) it relates "he requested to be buried in the open churchyard
on the North side to cross the received superstition as he thought of the
constant choice of the south side."* of St. Edwards in Romford. To four

I have an Elizabeth Angelene Payne b. 25, September 1799, N.C. d 1882 married John Adams 12 March 1818, Smith County, Tennessee. I believe her father to be Willis Payne, a trader. I have nothing more on this line. Also, I have been told that the Paynes were Cherokee. I am willing to share names of descendants of John and Elizabeth. Thanks for offer. Betty Speckles Ridgecrest California b.I.spec@1wvisp.com ============================================================================ PAINE, THOMAS, St. Jerome's, St. Mary's County, MD. 12 March 1672 23 May 1673 To Eldest son ISAAC "Paine's Lott" in Baltimore County.

E-Mail: payneusn@aol.com ============================================================================ I am descended from JOHN PAYNE born 1615, I believe in England and moved to Old Rappahannock, Virginia. His daughter, Margaret Payne married John Jennings born about 1638 in England and lived in Old Rappahannock, Virginia.Apparently my ancestors back on some lines then were involved in ships...owning, sailing, shipping. John was apparently from a very wealthy, aristocratic family in England, and more than likely knew JOHN PAYNE and/ or his family in England. Do you have any information regarding any of these ancestors? Is there any connection between this JOHN PAYNE and SIR JOHN PAYNE? There is also a SIR JENNINGS..have it in another place at hte moment, that is the ancestor to John. So, it makes me think that this may possibly be the same with this JOHN PAYNE. Also, would like to know if there is any connection to Dolly PAYNE MADISON? Origianlly I didn't think so, but am now questioning that. I look forward to hearing from you.
