| Birth* | circa 1795 | Daniel was born at Columbia Co., Georgia, circa 1795. |
| | He was the son of William Isaac Payne and Mary Abigail Swint. |
| Relocation | between 1808 and 1815 | Mary Abigail Swint, Samuel Payne, Daniel Payne, John Jackson Payne, William Isaac Payne Jr., Hannah Payne and Nancy Payne was an accompanying familiy member in the relocation of William Isaac Payne between 1808 and 1815 at Twiggs Co., Georgia. |
| Marriage* | circa 1817 | He married Elizabeth Dupree at Twiggs Co., Georgia, circa 1817. |

| Relocation | 14 Jan 1819 | "On the evening of the 14 Jan 1819, the peace of the happy forest of oaks was disburbed by a train of emigrants" and the Paynes were listed among the first settlers to arrive (in what was soon to become Butler Co., AL). In Ball's History of Clarke County, AL (pp. 330-331), there is the assertion that "William Isaac Payne and Mary Abigail Shouse [sic] (from Twiggs Co., GA) joined the Coleman Caravan in Dalton, GA in 1817 and moved west to Lowndes Co., AL." Actually, William Sr. died in Twiggs Co. in 1818, and the William cited must have been his son William Jr. who moved with his brothers and their Mother. Also, the 1817 date seems premature based on the date of death of William Sr in Twiggs Co.1 |
