Many have connected my family's oldest progeny to older Payne families with no evidence that I have seen. I have not had the means, resources or time in the past few years to do much more research than what you see here and what others have provided. One of the most compelling arguments that has been provided is one that I am not happy here to provide but through DNA proof needs to be addressed. That is the exact 37 Marker proof that Reuben Payne either had a brother/father or someone that close who was an Edwards and part of a greater Edwards family that had been in the Americas even during the Revolutionary War.

For further information regarding this DNA evidence I have provided an EVIDENCE WEBPAGE that proves that relationship. Please respond to me - Joe Payne via email.

I put the flyer below together for the Sevier Family Association reunion July 14-17, 2016 and will use it for the First Families of Tennessee Jubilee August 18-21, 2016. That flyer is a PDF file and can be access by CLICKING HERE
(1) Reuben1 PAYNE, was born about 1759 in King George Co., Va and about 1770 in King George Co, Va, married (2) Elizabeth SWEATMAN,  


  

    
	
For several years I had thought that Elizabeth
was the daughter of
John
SWETNAM and Sarah FICKLIN  (who are researched by Don Collins on Rootsweb) but recently found the record of the 
marriage of John Swetnam and Sarah Ficklin Aft Oct. 1772 in King George Co., Va marriages along
with John  (Reuben) Payne and Susannah Ficklen's marriage of Feb. 1771. It may be that Elizabeth is a sister to John Swetnam.

This all leads to much speculation - Was Elizabeth the daughter
of Alexander
Sweatman????   In June 2009 I recieved an email from a lady in Kentucky researcing Swetnam of Blaine KY


I have put some information found on the
Payne/Swetnam/Ficklin
families in King George Co., Stafford Co. and Fauquier Co.
VA

Also another Swetman Research takes an interest in just who Elizabeth Sweatman 
was!!!

Dear Joe,

My name is Dawn Gauthier, but my maiden name was Swetnam.  
I happened upon your website requesting information regarding 
the connection between the Swetnam/Ficklin families.  
My grandfather (who is still alive and will be 100 in 
October of this year) researched the Swetnam family back 
in 1975 or 76 and wrote his findings down in a book that 
was printed for members of our family called "Kith and Kin".  
It wasn't an actual printing, but rather something done privately.

I happen to have a copy of it, and recognized the connection 
between the names Swetnam and Ficklin from having read the 
book some years ago....  

According to my grandfather's research, what I can tell you is this:

John Swetnam (presumably from England) married Sarah Ficklen.

Neri Swetnam (one of their children) was born in Culpepper 
County, VA 11/20/1777 according to family records, but no record 
has been found of him there  There is record of him in Prince 
George County and it is suspected that our family records are 
in error.  
Neri Swetnam married Mildred Cross on 12/25/1803.  
From VA they moved to Blaine KY and raised a large family:

Louisa A.E. 1/28/1805
Claiborne Louis 2/10/1807
Zephaniah F. 5/21/1809
John J. 6/10/1811
Neri Ficklen 9/5/1813 (my grandfather's grandfather)
Elzaphen M. 2/3/1816
Hamilton S. 6/1/1818
Purlina E. 1/22/1821

I have more extensive information regarding these people if 
you are interested, but unfortunately I don't have any information 
regarding any of Neri's siblings, if there were any (it sounds 
as if you might be looking for a sister of his in Elizabeth, 
if Elizabeth were indeed a daughter of John Swetnam and Sarah Ficklen).  

I hope this helps you... If you wish more information, 
please feel free to email me and I can look again in my book to 
see what I can find......

Dawn Gauthier




If you

This Nathan Shipley was on several documents with Reubin Payne in Washington County.
He was Witness of the will of Isaac White on May 5, 1819, and reocrded in Will Book 1, page 124. William White's wife was a Sarah Lawson.

Richard Daniel to Jacob Robertson deed to lands described as lying on Kendrick's Creek, Richard Daniel. In presence of Nathan Shipley, William Kincheloe and John Brown, Feb. 13, 1824, Book 17, pg 388.

Also in the Will of Rev. Jonathan Mulkey, Washington Co. Will Bk 1, page 180 dated Aug 3rd, 1836 "Executors: "My friend Nathan Shipley and sons in laws William Slaughter and John Murray".

In Tennessee Cousins by Rhea it says:
The Nathan Shipley family came from Baltimore, Maryland, to Washington County, Tennessee. Nathan was a member of the Legislature and a surveyor of Washington County for several years. He was the father of Enoch Shipley, born in Washington County, who had a son Nathan Shipley who married Mary Jones, daughter of a John Jones. This Nathan was born in Washington County in 1822.

He and his wife Mary had a son Elbert A. Shipley born Feb. 18, 1849.
