Stories, Letters & Biographies: “His will dated 15 Oct 1866 ([“probated” on] 28 Jany 1867) Fq. Co. left his estate to his brother and sister, nephews and nieces. It is an interesting document, written with bitter memories of the Civil War and its so-called Reconstruction Period rankling in his mind. “His father’s will left him one-half of “Granville”, including the homestead, and $1000 over and above the share of the other children to compensate him for the smaller expenditure made on his education. “That he served in the Civil War in some capacity is indicated by the terms of his will.”[2973] CSR: Enlisted 25 April 1861; picket Pohick Church 4 October 1861; detailed to Quartermaster, Warrenton January 1862. Additional Information: Private.[2974] Dink also lists a second “John Scott Payne”, Major, 1844–1895, Warrenton Cemetery.[2975] Possibly same man as in Paynes of Virginia,[2976] except would have been 50 in 1864. Yet will notes that served in some capacity. Lynn—Okay to delete highlighted note up to this point—keeping the part about checking the will? Check will. # One “S. J. Payne” is mentioned in a 1 May 1909 newspaper article (the “N” source) as being on a 10 May 1861 muster roll when the men were sworn into service. Stiles list “ ‘S. L. Payne’; Company B; born 10 November 1838 Mount Washington, KY; horse killed 28 September 1864 Waynesborough; paroled 24 April Manchester; from Chesterfield; died 27 February 1887 Chesterfield.”[2977] Chesterfield is south of Richmond, quite a distance from Fauquier during the 1860s, and S. L. Payne was Company B, not Black Horse, according to Stiles. “S. J. Payne” might have been a typo for J. S. Payne, i.e. John Scott Payne. John Scott Payne was not listed in the “N” source. Unfortunately, the “N” source does not give information other than S. J. Payne’s name from which to determine his identity. Correspondent has not researched “S. J. Payne”.[2978]
