Hello
I am searching for these women. They were all born in near
Belton. their father is James G. Payne, and mother Carrie M.

Payne. Mary was born around 1860, Martha born around 1865
and Dora was born 1879 of Aug. They had other siblings that
I have already found. Malissa Jane Payne Hallmark, Ann
Elizabeth Payne-Dixon, Manerva frances Payne Hallmark, Jesse

G. Payne, and Zorata Susie Payne-Smith. I am not sure how
Zorata is spelled, but this is how it is spelled on the 1880

census and she went by Susie. James G. Payne the father born

1826 either in Tn. or Ireland. Depending on who you ask.
Carrie was born as Carrie M. Thames, in LA. on 1838 of Jan.
She died sometime after 1920, I have not been able to find
her death certificate. I have not been able to find these
people before 1880, and I have scrolled the whole county of
Bell. I The reason I am giving all this information, is I am

hoping someone will recognize the names and will contact me,

hopefully family. I do know that the three ladies where
alive after 1900. If someone would help me locate them, I
would greatly appreciate it. And will be ever so thankful.
Happy Hunting to All. :-)
