THE PAYNE AND GORE FAMILIES. A SHORT ABSTRACT OF THE COURSE OF MY LIFE. T. P. I was Borne in the parish of Fownhope 1 in the County of Hereford, my father being named W-' Payne, and my grand-father Tobias Payne, whoe lived in the parish of Kingscaple in the sayd County, but was Borne at Barkley in the County of Glocestre where his ancestors had lived. In the yeare, 1640 I was put to schole to lerne English, and there continued untill 1645, when I spent some tyme to lerne the rudimints of lattyn and to Cyfre; after which tyme untill the yeare 1648, I remayned with my grandfather: but God Almighty at that tyme taking him out of this world, I returned to my father at fownhope, where I remayned untill the later end of the yeare 1649. But haveinge noe Employment was not satisfied with that course of life, soe desired him to place me in London; whereupon he sent me there with an entru'son soe to doe: but that faylinge I returned into the Cuntry agayne. However the next yeare A0~ 1650, I went for London agayne and applied my selfe to my uncle Richard Bridges, with hopes to finde out some place, but could not doe it to our Content; however rather then be Idle, he lett me remayne with his uncle Alderman Adams, from whom I might depart at pleasure; soe betoke my selfe under him to recieve his rents, keepe his cash &c. In the yeare 1651, the Alderman departed with his family for Elsenham in Essex where wee lived that sommer, and returned against the winter to London agayne. Haveinge remayned with the Alderman 3 yeares, viz. untill the end of the yeare 1653, (in which tyme I studied french and made a beginninge in Spanish, as also bettered my self in 1 Fownhope and Kings-Caple are parishes in Herefordshire, about three miles apart, and lying south of the city of Hereford some six miles. From the facts here given it would probably be easy to trace the ancestry of Tobias Payne. 6 THE PAYNE AND GORE FAMILIES. wrighting and Arithmetique), when I understood from his sonn-in-law Mr. Wm' Christmas, that his factor, Mr. Richard Twyford, in Hamburg, had occasion for an aprentize. I thereupon acquanted Mr. Christmas that I was not mynded to remayne any longer with the Alderman, and had likewise a desire to see some forreigne parts. Soe with the help of my uncle Bridges, agreed with him, viz, to pay the sayd Mr. Twyford 200 ster'g ready money, and to serve him 8 yeares, as alsoe that my uncle should stand security in a Bond of 1000' for my faithful service. Soe in the beginninge of January 1654, I toke leave of the Alderman &c. and sett forwards my Jorney for Hamburg; first for Gravesend, thence with the Paquett boat for Dunkerke, and soe through flanders, Brabant, Zeland, Holland, East and West frie.zland, dukedom of Oldenburg, Bishoprick of Bremen and Holstein; and soe through God's mercy, I arrived safe at Hamburg in the later end of the sayd month of January, in which I saw these Cittyes and places following, viz, Dunkerke, Mardike, Ostend, Vern, Bridges, the fort St danasin, Sluce, flushing, Medilburg, Trevees, dort, Rotterdam, delft, Leyden, Amsterdam, Harlengin, Lewarden, Groningen, delfshill, Embden, Apen, Oldenburg, delmenhurst, Bremen and Stade. Soe cominge to Hamburg, I aplied my selfe to my Mr, and was presently bound to him (the 200' being paid by his order to Mr. Robert Christmas, and the bond for my faithfull service entered into by my Uncle), whereupon I entered his service; and was in few dayes after sent by him out into the Cuntry to Hanover, for to lern the high dutch or German language: where, after I had remayned 4 months, and made an Indifrent progress, was (in regard of business) called home agayne; in which Jorney the only noated things I saw were the Prince of Hanover and Prince of Zell's Courts. Returning to Hamburg, I betoke me to my Employment, and the ensuing Winter, my MIr. haveing occasion for England, departed thither, and left me alone in the business, which I managed till his returne about 3 months after, and then delivered him all things to his good Content. Not long after I was sent to Bremen to get in some old debts, and returned thence in 6 weekes, Continewinge in my business untill March,'56., at which tyme I rec'd the sorrowfull news of my father's decease; soe desired leave of my Mr. to returne into England for to settle something that was fallen into me by his decease; which I obteyned, and in the month of May departed hamng in our Company's ship, Capta' Edm: Green, Mr., and had a verry sudayne passage for London, from whence after a short stay I departed into the Cuntry, where dispachinge my business, I returned againe for London: and toke my passage in Capta' James Talbot, one of our Compa' ships, for dordrecht in Holland, where by God's mercy wee arrived in few dayes. THE PAYNE AND GORE FAMILIES. 7 From thence I went over land for Hamburg, viz. through Gelderland, Westphalia, &c, and saw in my Jorney, Harlem, Nareden, Amrefort, Swoll, lyngen, Welshuisen, Bremefurt and horneburg, &c Soe returning to Hamg' thanked God for his Continewall preservation of me, and fell agayne to my business, in which I remayned untill the yeare 1657, when understanding from my friends that my presence in England was verry needfull, as to the disposeinge of some lands fallen unto me by the death of my father, I obteyned agayne leave of my Mr. to returne thither, and in the month of Aug: sett forwarde by land for Holland; in which passage, besides what formerly mentioned, I saw these following places. doemin (?) Bolsworth, Workum, Enkusen (where I had the honor to sup with 2 of the states gen' viz myn hr Marode and myn h'r de Yett) and Armuyen. Att Flushing, with some other passengers, I hyered a small vessel, and in 24 howres wee arrived through God's mercy in safety at Gravesend; and from thence to London, where I found the Compa. shipp, Capt. Edm: Green in a readinesse to depart for Hamburg. Soe after 14 dayes stay in the Citty I departed into the Cuntry and remayned there 3 weekes, in which tyme I effected my business, and returned agayne for London, where I understood that Capt. Green lay wind-bound in Guinborough road. Soe I presently departed London in a payre of oares, and after much danger came aboard of him there, and in a day or two after had a fayr wind, which brought us in a short tyme to Hamg' Cominge thither I fell agayne to my business, in which I remayned untill the year 1658, and then in February was sent out by my Mr. to gett in some debts in the Cuntry, in which Jorney I passed through the dominions of the dukes of Brunswig and Luneburg, as alsoe of the Elector of Brandenburg and Bishop of Collen; and saw (besides what formerly mentioned) the following places: Brounswig, Luneburg, Hildisheim, Bocklam, Saltsdetford, and Lambspringe, a monastry of English Benedictines where I was moast civilly Entertayned for the space of 2 or 3 dayes, by the Lord Abbote Placidius Gascon, and the rest. Soe returninge to Hambg' fell agayne to my business. In the month of November in this yeare 1658 my master's business callinge him agayn for England, he departed thither and lefte me the management of his affayres here, which I performed to his Content untill his returne, which was in the month of March 1659. In the month of July followinge I was agayne sent into the Cuntry to gather in moneys, and saw (besides what formerly mentioned) Mynd, Lemgo, Flote, Neyenburg, Veerden, Veerden Sconce, Jeance and Neystatt. Soe returning to Hambg' in November afterwards, my Mr. presently departed for England, and left me agayne alone in the business which I managed untill his returne, 8 THE PAYNE AND GORE FAMILIES. which was in May following, AO~ 1660, and then dd. him all things to his Content. In the month of January 1662 my Mr. went agayne for England and left me the last tyme in his business: about the later end of March he returned agayne. Soe my tyme being expired, I delivered him all things to his Content, and with satisfaction on boath sides departed his service, receivinge of him the Bond of 1000'1 which my uncle had entered into for my fidelity, which I returned for London cancelled, with due acknowledgments for his love. Hereuppon I beginne the management of my owne affaires and the servinge of some friends in Comission, in which employment I continued untill the yeare 1664, and then uppon the' 20th' of Aprill I left Hamburg, and departed by land for England; in which Jorney I saw besides what formerly mentioned, these Citties and places following, viz Hinlopen, Molguern, Standen, Horn, Edam, Mopiskedam, Tertolen, Antwerpen, Brussells, Alst, Gends, Ostend, the miraculous church of our Lady of Laken by Brussells, the Prince of Orange's house of Risewick and in the Bush by the Hague Wininbergen, Burburg, Greneliig and Callis, from whence I toke my passage in the pakquett boate for dover, and the 24th' of May arrived, God be thanked, in safety at London.

Arrivinge at London as aforesad, I applied my selfe to some members of the royall Compa. whoe had Invited me over to undertake an Imployment in their service, which after 2 or 3 treaties were concluded uppon, viz to goe first to Barbados, and there to reside in Comission with Mr. Peter Collison and Mr Thomas Modyford untill Mr. Reid arrived there, and then to goe downe unto Jamaica in Comission with Sr Tho. Modyford &c. Soe uppon the pmO- Septbr. 1664, I dep'ted from London for Gravesend where I lay till the 5 ditto and then Embarqued my selfe uppon the Concord, Capt. James Strutt, Mr. for the Barbados lying then in the Hope, 14 gunnes, 250 tunne, 22 seamen and about 65 passenger. The 6 ditto in the name of God we weighed anchor thence. [We omit the log of the voyage, it being of no interest. On Sept. 14 they lost sight of England, and arrived at Barbados Oct. 16.] The 16th' in the morninge wee were hard by the land and about 8 a Clock cast anchor in Carlisle Bay, and soe went on shoar at the THE PAYNE AND GORE FAMILIES. 9 Indian Bridge or St Michaell's towne, Givinge God thanks for our prosperous passage, and his mercifull preservation of us. Our voyage from the downes was 32 dayes, in which tyme wee sayled by computation, comparing the logg and observations, about 4000 miles. Some tyme after I had resided in Barbados, I had a Ballance and Inventory of the royall Company's concernes delivered unto me, which I posted into a new payer of Bookes and sent them copies of all unto my deliveringe over the sayd Bookes unto Mr Thomas Colleton 2 and Mr. John Reid, which was in the month of December 1665, and then receivinge a lre' from the Compa. with ordr' for my goeinge downe to Jamaica, I Embarc'd the first opertunity; which was the Oporto Marcht', Capt.

Our Voyage was 16 dayes and very troublesome, in regard wee were pestored with soe many negroes, and feared an insurrection. The next day I wayted upon his Excellency, Sr' Thomas Modyford,3 Governor at St Jago de la Vega, and soe fell to assistinge in the Company's business; wherein I continued untill the begininge of October 1666, at which tyme the Compa' ordered Sr- Thomas (in regard the Contract with the Spanyards went not forward) to reduse the factory to two p'sons only; soe he was pleased to make choyce of Mr Hendee Molesworth and my selfe, outinge Mr Lewis and Mr. Reid. But presently after it pleased God to visit me with Sickness, and the advise of my Dr' was, that in case I removed not to an other clymate, might run a great risics of death or a tediouse sickness. Soe I petitioned Sr' Thomas that he would discharge me of the Company's service, which he accordingly did under his hand; whereupon I delivered up and cleared my accounts, and the 12th' September sett sayle from Jamaica in the Friendship Catch, burthen 25 tonne, Tho: Jenner Comander, bound for New England.

Sir John was a large proprietor of lands in America, and three of his sons married in Barbadoes. 3 Sir Thomas Modyford, Bart., was Governor of Jamaica and made a baronet in 1664; but the title became extinct in 1703. His brother, Sir James, was also Governor of Jamaica, also made a baronet, and d. s. p. m. in 1675. - BURKE. 2 10 THE PAYNE AND GORE FAMILIES.

THE PAYNE AND GORE FAMILIES. 11 [A new- writing here begins, that of Deacon Edward Payne, grandson of the emigrant.] BOSTON, Feb. 4th. 1744-5. The foregoing account of my grandfather's Life and Family continued down to this day, p. EDWARD PAYNE. Tobias Payne, my Grandfather arrived at Boston from Jamaica the 26th Oct. 1666; from whence he intended to proceed (as soon as he had recovered his health) to the Island of Madeira; but finding this Place so encourageing to Trade, he soon resolved to tarry here; accordingly in November following he was married to Mrs Sarah Standish, widow of Capt. Miles Standish, to whom she was married in 16 —, and with whom she lived but about - months. She had no children by him; he sailed hence for England and was never heard off. Her maiden name wAs Winslow, daughter of Mr John Winslow of Boston, Merchant.t She had 5 Brothers and 4 Sisters viz John Winslow Edward Winslow Samuel Winslow Isaac Winslow Joseph Winslow Her eldest sister was married to Mr. Laitham; another was married to Mr Grey; whose daughter married Mr. Leblone. A third married to Mr Southward: a fourth was married to Mr. Little. My grandfather had one child by her, viz, my father William Payne; he was born the 22d Jan'y 1668; after which my Grandfather liv'd but about 8 months, and on the 12 Septr 1669 he departed this Life. t Son of Edward, Govr of Plymouth; he married Miss Chilton the first European Woman that landed in this Coast. Gov. Winslow had 3 sons, John, Kenelm and Edwd. Generall Winslow was son of Edward. - Note in original.5 5 This foot-note requires the addition of a few words to make it all right. It should be " son of Edward [and brother of Edward jr.] govr. of Plymouth. [Edward Winslow Sr, father of 1 Gov. W. had three sons, [this] John, Kenelm and Edward. General [Josiah] Winslow was son of [Gov.] Edward." This makes it correct, though Mr. Payne had evidently confounded Edward, Sr, who never emigrated, with his son Governor Edward. This manuscript is another authority for the claim of Mary Chilton to be the first woman who landed on our shores. See SAVAGE S. v. WINSLOW; lie counts only nine children, three daughters and six sons, adding Benjamin, not given above. We know by Bradford that there were ten children, and this account of five daughters and five sons agrees therewith. We must therefore leave out Savage's Benjamin, and add Mrs. Southward and Mrs. Little. 12 THE PAYNE AND GORE FAMILIES. Anno 1672, my Grandmother was again married to Mr Richard Middlecott, Merchant, son of Mr Middlecott of Wormister in England. He lived with a merchant in Bristoll; after his time was expired he came to N. E. and settled here as a Merchant. She had 4 children by him.

MARY MIDDLECOTT her Eldest Daughter was married about Anno 1696 to Mr Henry Gibbs,7 son of Councellor Gibbs of Barbadoes, by whom she had 3 children born here, viz, Sarah Gibbs John Gibbs Henry Gibbs After which, Anno —, Mr Gibbs went to Barbadoes to settle his affairs there, and intending to return and settle here; but his father dying while he was there prevented it -. He sent for his Wife to come there to him which she did, but left her two Eldest children behind with my Father: soon after her arrivall there Mr Gibbs died. Anno 1702 she was again married at Barbadoes to Othaniel Haggat, Esq. by whom she had 4 children born at Barbadoes, viz Othaniel Haggat Nathaniel do Mary do William do. 6 These three dates in brackets are added from SAVAGE, who, however, says the widow died in 1728. He states that Edward came here with his father, not that he was born here in 1680. Mr. Richard Middlecot was a man of importance, a Councillor named in the Second Charter, &c. 7," Henry Gibbs, son of Councellor Gibbs of Barbados." We had here in Boston a family of Gibbs beginning with Robert, who was father of Rev. Henry G., minister at Watertown. This Robert was the fourth son of Sir Henry Gibbs of Honington, co. Warwick, Eng., and his brothers were Thomas of Honington, Henry of Halford, Ralph of Whaddon, and John of Virginia. This John is otherwise called of Barbadoes. In Hotten's "Original Lists of Emigrants," p. 469, we find that in 1678 there were living in the parish of St. Andrew's, Barbadoes, Lieutenant Basil Gibbs, who owned 45 negroes, and Captain John Gibbs, who owned 93 negroes. John Gibbs of Christ Church parish owned 10 negroes.

Margaretll Stuart, an Orphan, the only child of William and Margaret Stuart of Ipswich: her mother was the daughter of a Dissenting minister in Yorkshire in the reign of King Charles the Second, whose father and mother dyed when she was young, which occasioned her going to Live with her Sister in Limbrick,12 where she was married to my Grandfather, lMr. 11 Her name was Anne, not Margaret, as the next note shows. 12 It so happens that John Dunton, in his "Letters from New England" (Prince Society, 1867) and his " Life and Errors," gives a little more information about Mrs. Stewart and her relatives. Dunton writes in his " Letters " (pp. 63, 76, 99, 262, 279, 282) and in his " Life " (p. 136) that he boarded in 1686 at Boston, with Mr. Richard Wilkins, opposite to the Town House. " He was formerly a Bookseller in Limerick, and fled hither on the account of conscience with two Divines, Mr John and Mr Thomas Bayly.... His person is tall, his aspect sweet and smiling, and tho' but fifty years old, his hair's as white as snow. Ile is a man of good sence, very generous to his friend, talks well, keeps up the Practice of Religion in his Family, and is now a member of Mr. Willard's Church." Dunton also praises his wife, Mrs. Wilkins, and has much to say about their only child, Comfort, who was then about twenty-six years old. Again (p. 262) he says that Mrs. Wilkins had a sister at Ipswich, and so he and Miss Comfort went down there on a visit. So they travelled to "Mr Stewart's, whose wife was Mrs. Comfort's own Aunt," and were hospitably welcomed. Of Mr Stewart he says, "As to his Stature'tis inclining to Tall " and gives him a high character. Of Mrs. Stewart he says, " Her Stature is of a middle size, fit for a Woman... and when she was about 18, perhaps there never was a Face more sweet and charming; nor could it well be otherwise, since now at 33, all you call sweet and ra fishing is in her Face." It may be added that Richard Wilkins was admitted to residence in Boston 28 Nov. 1684, with William Stewart and six others. He was a bookseller here, was nominated for postmaster after the overthrow of Andros, and died at Milton, 10 Dec. 1704, aged 81. His name does not occur in our Suffolk deeds or wills. As Mrs. Stewart was only some seven years older than her niece, Comfort Wilkins, of course she was much younger than her sister, Mrs. Wilkins, which con-firms the text. By my notes to Dunton (p. 282) it seems that Mrs. Stewart was named Anne, not Margaret; and the text confirms my then surmise that Anne married Colonel Bartholomew Gedney. William Stewart of Ipswich had a good estate, his inventory being about ~1,500. There can be no doubt that his wife was named Anne in several documents.

They both came to New England in 1684 and settled at Ipswich, where my Grand Father kept a shop till his decease, which was in Augt' 1693. By him my Grandmother had one child, viz my Mother, Margaret Stuart, born in Limbrick in May 1683.

July 14, 1749, John was appointed Register of Probate " in tile absence of Andrew Belcher from the Province." Sept. 20, 1754, appointed for three months or untill the return of John Shirley, and again in the next January, for two months.

Wills, iv. 285, new paging) was proved 23 Nov. 1759, dated 25 Mch. 1752, and, though not perfect through informality, was allowed for personal property. He gave every thing to his mother Margaret Payne, and therefore was probably never married. The following obituary is from the " Boston Evening Post " for Monday, Nov. 19, 1759: " Last Saturday Morning died here after a short and violent Illness, Mr. John Payne, a Gentleman of known Abilities in the several Offices he sustained, and remarkable for his unsullied Integrity.

My brother Edward Payne, decd' June My sister Margaret Payne was married the 7th Oct. 1741, to Mr. John Phillips of Boston, who was formerly married to my Couzen Sarah Cooke,-with whom she now lives and has no children. My brother Richard Payne serv'd seven years as an apprentice to Mr. Joseph Sherburne, to learn the Brazier's Trade. My brother Thomas died a child. Sister Jane now lives a maiden. Edward, the youngest son, born the 4th Feb. 1721-2, lived as an apprentice with Mr. Benjamin Colman, Merchant in Boston, from April 1736 to May 1743. In Augt following opened a Store on the Long Wharfe at the desire of Brother John Phillips, who proposed to put a stock into my hands to Trade with on our joint accounts; but his stock being chiefly imploy'd in a Distilhouse with Bror' Colman, he could not furnish me with the stock I expected. In Novr' 1745, I engag'd in the distilling Business with Bror. Colman, who was then separated from Mr. Phillips; but finding our stock was not sufficient to carry on the Business to advantage, and that Bror. Colman did not manage the distilling as I expected, I determined to quit that Business, and proceed on a voyage to Gibraltar. In April 1746, 1 purchas'd a Vessel in company with Mr. John Mascarene and others, which we loaded with Rum, Fish, Flour &c. and in June I sail'd for Gibraltar, where I arrived the 24thn July, and soon after dispatch'd the Vessel back to Boston, with a Cargo of Prize goods, Wine and Fruit; but remain'd there myself to dispose of the Cargo, and purchase another against her return. This vessel called the -, Davenport Walker, master, on her return to Gibralter with another Cargo, had the misfortune to be taken as she enter'd the Straights. I then purchas'd a Brige. called the Zant, put Capt. Philip Payne in Master, took some prize goods, and proceeded in her to Villa Nova in Portugal, where I loaded her with salt and some fruit, and return'd to Boston, where I arriv'd safe, 22d April 1747. In May, 1748, Mr Peter Chardon put 1000 stg. into my hands to be employ'd in the English Trade, for which I was to have Ad. the Profit in said Stock, and to have liberty to do my own business; but money growing scarce, and that Trade being dull, I did not continue long in it, and in Feb. 1752, I finished that concern and parted amicably. In March 1752, I entered into copartnership with Mr. James Perkins of Boston, and engag'd to settle at Glocester, and to carry on a Trade there in the Fishery on our joint account: he put in a stock of 1000l stg., and I to put in 500~ stg. The 22d' of this month I re 20 THE PAYNE AND GORE FAMILIES. mov'd there, built a store and a number of fishing Vessels, and carried on that business; also a foreign Trade in which I succeeded beyond my expectation, built a Wharff and Fish flakes. In this business I continued to mutual satisfaction untill July 1761, when we closed our Copartnership and divided the Stock to the satisfaction of both Parties, and on the 1st' Oct. 1761, I returned to Boston after 9 years' residence at Glocester, which I esteem as the pleasantest part of my life, being advantageously employ'd in business, and enjoying a sett of agreeable acquaintance. During my abode at Glocester I was married to Miss Rebecca Amory of Boston (daughter of Thomas and Rebecca Amory,* born the 25th' June, O. S. 1725, by whom I had 3 children born in Glocester, viz - Sarah } twins, born Dec. 1, 1757 Rebecca' Augt 28, 1759 The last five years I lived at Glocester we were at Warr with France, during which I had 2 vessels taken in Europe, on which I had no Insurance; and two in the W. Indies that were partly insured. In the course of the Warr, Louisburg was taken a second time, Quebec and all Canada surrender'd to the English the 8 Sept. 1760.

The reasons my father did not continue the account of his family, I am unable to give, but as he did not, I shall; and intend to give an account of my relations on my mother's side. Will. Payne." On 1 Oct. 1761, my father removed from Cape Ann to Boston, to a House in State st. (now so called) in which I was born on 18th' of July, 1762. On 11th. Oct. 1765, he had another son, who was named Edward, and who died on 31 Decr the same year. My father continued to live in this House all the time untill his death, except the time of the Seige, when, being in favor of the Revolution, he left the town and lived at Medford and at Waltham. On 5th- March 1770 he was wounded in the arm by the British soldiers. Until the beginning of the Revolution he was concerned in the European trade and made money. On his return to town after the Seige he opened an Insurance Office, and had most of the business of the town. He con* " My grand mother Amory's maiden name was Holmes. W. P." - Note in original.

This ended the Life of a man of good sound sence, one who was esteemed and beloved by all that knew him, and whose reputation as an honest man was unsullied. He always had a good oppinion of the publick securities of the country, and invested all the money he could get, after paying the expences of his family, in them. He left $80,000 Dolls' in publick paper, four Houses worth -; the one in State St, he gave to me on the death of my mother, and 13,000 Dolls' in securities, which I then had. On 1 lth Nov. 1783, my sister Rebecca was married to Christopher Gore, an attorney-at-law, of whom it is probable, I shall give a further acct' when I give a history of my own life. At the time of my father's death, my Mother was very unwell, and had been for 2 or 3 years; her disorder came on by a Malincolly, and deprived her of her reason, to which she was never perfectly restored. She died on 14th Feb. 1799, nearly eleven years after the death of my father. She was between 73 and 74 years of age. She was a woman of the most amiable disposition, beloved by every one that knew her. iMy mother had three brothers and one sister:16 Thomas Amory, who married Elizabeth Coffin and had 9 children, viz Thomas C. Amory, Rebecca Elizabeth, Nancy, Jonathan, John, Mary Nathaniel and William Jonathan, married Abigail Taylor, and had not any children. Mary, married Timothy Newell: they had not any children John, married Katherine Greene, by whom he had ten children, viz., John, Rufus Greene, Thomas, Jonathan, William, Francis, Katherine, Rebecca, Mary and Nancy. Thomas Amory died Aug. 1781 Elizabeth Amory,, 17 June 1822 Jona Amory,, 25 Sept. 1797 Abigail Amory,, 12 Nov. 1802 John Amory,, 4 June 1803 Katherine Amory,, 22 April 1777 Timothy Newell,, 18 April 1799 Mary Newell,, 25 April, 1804. I, William Payne, was an apprentice to William Foster, after which my father set me up and gave me 3333 Ds' 33cts', which I put into the Dry Goods line, but soon after, the Peace between Great Britain and America was concluded: I did not make any profit in that business. 16 This account of the Amory family agrees with the one printed in the HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL REGISTER, X. 62-3. 22 THE PAYNE AND GORE FAMILIES. Afterwards my Father took me into partnership with him in the Insurance Office, and I kept a store on the Long Wharfe. After his death, T. C. Amory was a partner with me for two years in the Commission Line, 1788 and 1789: we lived and parted good friends and continue so. After this I bought and sold the Publick Securities of the country, and like a simpleton gave up the Insurance office, and was engaged in the purchase of five millions of Georgia Land, which brought upon me a vexatious Law suit, in which a Judgment of 220,000 was given against me. After I had settled that Judgment, (which I did in full), I sailed in the Minerva, Nov. 1799, for London, to make a Visit to my brother and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Gore: he was then a Commissioner from this Country, under the 6th' article of the British Treaty. I returned by via New York and arrived there Oct. 19, 1800. Mr and Mrs Gore arrived from England 12 April 1804. During their absence I had the care of his business and farm at Waltham, on which I raised and planted Trees, and, formed most of the present walks. The House lie built there was burnt down on 19th March, 1799, while I lived there. Mr Gore and myself have always lived on the most friendly and intimate terms of friendship. I could not add to his fame in anything that I could say, nor would it be possible for me to express the pleasure and satisfaction, as well as information, that I have derived from his society." June 26th. 1803 I was married to MIrs. Lucy Dobell, who was the daughter of Ellis 18 and Sarah Gray. She was born July 18, 1776, and married to Dr. Will. John Benger Dobell,l9 April 26, 17 Governor Christopher Gore fills a large space in our history; and a memoir of him will be found in Mass. Hist. Soc. Collections, 3d ser. iii. 191. At the end of this record will be found a sketch of his ancestry and immediate relatives. 18 Rev. Ellis Gray was son of Edward Gray of Boston, rope-maker, who came here in 1686 (Bridgman's Copp's lill Epitaplls, p. 227), by his second wife, Hannah Ellis. He was half-brother to Hon. Harrison Gray, Treasurer of the Province. Rev. Ellis Gray was ordained pastor of the Second Church, 27 Sept. 1738, and d. 7 January, 1753, aged 36. (See Robbins's History, pp. 185, 314.) Rev. Ellis Gray m. 1736, Sarah Tyler, and had Ellis, jr., b. 1745, m. Sarah 1)olbear, and had, besides MIrs. Payne, Sarah, who m. Joseph Hall, and Hannah, who m. Judge Wilson of the United States District Court, and secondly Dr. Bartlett. 19 Of Dr. Dobell's antecedents I can learn little. The Boston journals recorded his death at Philadelphia in October, 1797, aged 30, calling him a celebrated physician. Following this clue by the kindness of a correspondent, I learn that D)r. Dobell is commemorated in a " Short History of the Yellow Fever that broke out in the City of Philadelphia in July, 1797," by Richard Folwell. It seems that Dr. Dobell volunteered his services in behalf of the poor during this epidemic, and fell a victim to his philanthropy. The account states that Dr. I)obell " was of independent circumstances, had been married but a few months before, and could have no temptation to the office which he undertook, but what arose from pure benevolence." THE PAYNE AND GORE FAMILIES. 23 1797, who died' in Oct. following; by whom she had one child, viz: Emmeline Benger Dobell, who was born 29 Mch. 1798. Mrs Payne and myself passed the winter of 1803 at Washington, and on our way home, on the 8 April 1804, at New York was deliverd, by the birth of two boys, which are christened Edward William and William Edward. May 8, 1807, Mrs. Payne had two other boys; they were called Chrisr' Gore, and Ellis Gray. On 25 Sept 1807, Ellis Gray died; and on 5 Oct 1807, Chrisr' Gore died. March 13, 1809, Mrs. Payne died. Mrs Payne's father was the son of Rev. Ellis Gray, and her mother the daughter of Benj. Dolbear. My brother, Chrisr' Gore, was Governor of Massachusetts from June 1809 to June 1810. On Saturday evening Mch 27, 1813, [I] was married to Catherine Hallett, by the Revd. Mr. Miller, at New York. She was daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth Hallett; her mother's maiden name was Hazard. Mrs Payne was born at New York on 22d Feb.' 1768. She had not any brothers; her eldest sisters were twins, Lvydia and Elizabeth. Lydia married Mr. Horlitz, a German; Elizabeth, Mr. Gault; she is now living. Ann, the third daughter married Mr John Delafield. Mrs Payne was 4th- daughter. Sarah was the 5th' and is not yet married; and Maria, who married Col. Tallmadge, was 6th' July 29, 1816, Emeline B. Dobell married to F. Carnes. Aug. 17, 1821, she died and left three children. [Here ends the line of autobiographies, though various interesting notes remain to be copied here. William Payne left three sisters and two sons; of these William E. survived the others and made a record as following: —] "July 21, 1827, William Payne died after an illness of 4 days, leaving a wife, and Edward W. and Wm' E. Payne, twins. "March 7, 1832. Edward W. Payne died of consumption after an illness of 5 months, borne without a complaint. "January 22d 1833. Sarah Payne died, of an inflammation of the lungs. Sick early in life, and never robust, she was always cheerful, and ever attentive to the comfort and contributing to the pleasures of those about her. " Rebecca Gore died April 14, 1834. With a mind above ordinary women, wvvas united a kindness of heart and a disinterestedness, which showed itself in deeds and not in words. Without children she was a mother to those of two families. Fond of retirement and domestic quiet, she loved to have her friends about her. Devoted to the care of a sick husband, she still kept up her intercourse with society and fulfilled her duties to it. An active member of society, none could live 24 THE PAYNE AND GORE FAMILIES. within the circle in which she moved without being affected by her influence. "Mary Payne died Nov. 6, 1834. Always an invalid, she yet always enjoyed life, and from her good temper and ladylike deportment was ever a pleasant and important member of the family circle. She and Sarah were never separated from each other during the life of the latter. They had everything in common, and had always a competence. They lived much in society and did their share in the promotion of sociability and good feeling. In early life they were called to administer to the comfort of a mother who for many years was a source of care, anxiety and attention. They never remitted their attendance. In after life when their brother's estate became insolvent from the mismanagement of several manufacturing establishments in which he had invested the greater part of his property, they submitted to a loss of $50,000 without a murmur." He adds that they continued to assist their brother's widow, &c. " They were survived by an old and fathful servant, aged 86, and who had lived with them from the time she was sixteen. Her name was Thankful Leeds." The last survivor of the family in the male line, William Edward Payne, left no autobiography; but instead his intimate friend and executor, the late Edward Blake, wrote in this volume a full record of Payne's life. Much of this tribute relates to personal matters of no interest, except to those connected with him by ties of kindred. We therefore present an abstract of this memoir in place of a copy of it. William Edward Payne was born 8 April, 1804, and was baptized 25 Nov. following by Rev. Dr. Freeman; his half-sister, Emmeline B. Dobell, being baptized at the same time. He was a pupil at the Phillips Academy, Exeter. He entered Harvard College in 1820, and was graduated in 1824. Then, in company with his classmate and biographer, Blake, he studied at the Law School at Northampton, Mass.; in 1826 they became students in the office of Lemuel Shaw and Sidney Bartlett of Boston. In 1827 both were admitted to the bar. Mr. Payne did not practise law to any extent, his health having been delicate for years; and he was mainly occupied in settling his father's estate. His own property, derived from his grandmother, was seriously diminished by investments in manufacturing corporations. In 1834, on the death of his aunts, Mrs. Gore and Miss Mary Payne, he succeeded to a large estate, and he promptly availed of it, to pay all the creditors of his father's estate in full with interest, expending in this honorable manner over $25,000. The state of his health continuing unfavorable, his malady being some unusual form of lung disease, Mr. Payne sailed for Europe Dec. 25, 1834. He spent the next three years and a half abroad in search THE PAYNE AND GORE FAMILIES. 25 of health, but without success; and died at Paris, July 5, 1838. His remains were deposited at Pere la Chaise in a tomb bearing the following inscription:William Edward Payne, de Boston, Etats Unis, age de 34 ans. Decedd a Paris, 5 Juillet, 1838. Mr. Blake adds as to his character, "To intellectual powers of a high order he united a generosity and kindness of' disposition which he possessed to a remarkable degree. Disinterestedness was a prominent trait of his character. He was very fond of doing good to others." "He was tried in adversity and prosperity," and "alike in both he never lost sight of the claims of others. He was as free from selfishness as the lot of humanity would permit." "l Ie had a very strong sense of religion, and an entire conviction and faith in a future state, to which he looked forward with strong hopes." The only near relatives of Mr. William E. Payne were the descendants of his half-sister, Miss Dobell. As already noted, Emmeline B. Dobell married Francis Carnes of Boston, July 29, 1816. Their children were i Francis John born 1816 ii Emmeline Wainwright,, 1819 iii Lucy Payne,, 1820. Francis Carnes died about 1860 at Dayton, Ohio; his wife died Aug. 17, 1821.
