Pamela Carden Payne 770-682-5743 | My family comes primarily from GA and TX although we have connections to TN, AZ and OK.Family lore says we decend from Irish immigrants but his has not been proven yet.My paternal grandparents were Melvin Littleton CARDEN and Talula May AKINS.Other surnames in this line are HERRIN, GRAY, WILSON, WILLIAMS, CARD.I have quite a bit of info on this line that I hope to post soon.My maternal grandparents were Paul CLARK and Lucille GOODWIN of the MD, DC, VA area.I don't know much on this line and would welcome any help. My husband's family comes from the panhandle of Florida, around Panama City.His parents were Hillery PAYNE and Pearl MORRIS.His maternal grandfather was William Wesley MORRIS, well known in Panama City in the 1950's & 60's as "Uncle Wes". I am trying to find information on William Wesley's father.His name was Martin Van Buren MORRIS.He was born abt 1842 in Alabama.His mother was Sarah Ann MORRIS but I don't know the name of his father.We think his father died in an Indian War.Sometime between 1842 and 1850 Sarah moved her family to Washington County Florida where she appears on the 1850 census for the city of Vernon.My husband's paternal grandparents were John Benjamin PAYNE and Mary Ellefare CASTLEBERRY.Family lore says they migrated to Florida from Redlevel AL and MS but I have been unable to make the connections.Surnames in these lines are: GAY, MELVIN, THARP, DILMORE, PETTIS, ARMSTRONG. I would love to hear from anyone who might know something about these families!I would be happy to share info. |
