Birth*1755 William was born in 1755. (Within this family tree, William Isaac Payne is shown as being born in 1755, the son of Samuel Payne. However, according to Paul Grant, "William was born near Richmond, VA 1740, the second son of John Reuben Richmond Payne (born 1700) and Nancy Mason Wilson Payne. John Reuben Richmond Payne left Birmingham, England and came to America in about 1717 and married 15 year old Nancy in 1737. They had 7 sons and 6 daughters, but Nancy died young. John Reuben then remarried to Fredicia Lewellyen in 1760, and they had 7 daughters and 2 sons." William reportedly grew up near Richmond, VA, and supposedly received a land grant in Georgia for Revolutionary War service. Thus he moved to Georgia. (Ball's History of Clarke Co., AL, pp. 330-331) This William Payne should not be confused with the Revolutionary War soldier, born 1763 in Kershaw District, SC, who married Sarah Swilley, and died in Marengo Co., AL.. 
 He was the son of Samuel Payne. 
Marriage*circa 1785 He married Mary Abigail Swint at Columbia Co., Georgia, circa 1785. 
Tax roll*1808 William I. Payne paid taxes in Columbia Co., GA on two hundred thirty acres of land on Sweetwater and for his seven slaves. His son-in-law, Andrew Smith, lived nearby and paid taxes for one slave and a riding chair in 1808. 
Relocation*between 1808 and 1815 He, accompanied by family member(s) Mary Abigail Swint, Samuel Payne, Daniel Payne, John Jackson Payne, William Isaac Payne Jr., Hannah Payne and Nancy Payne, relocated between 1808 and 1815 at Twiggs Co., Georgia. 
Death*1818 He died at Twiggs Co., Georgia, in 1818. The date and place of death are assumed from the fact that in the 1818 tax digest for Capt. Hodge's district in Twiggs Co., GA, Dan'l Payne is shown as the Adm. for Wm. Payne. Also, the 1820 Lottery, shows from the Hodges district in Twiggs Co, Daniel Payne and Mary Payne (wid)..1 
Biography* In Ball's History of Clarke County, AL (pp. 330-331), there is the assertion that "William Isaac Payne and Mary Abigail Shouse joined the Coleman Caravan in Dalton, GA in 1817 and moved west to Lowndes Co., AL. Mary Abigail was from Twiggs Co., GA." 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.
