James Harvey Payne had reference number 18444. He was enumerated on the census in Washington County, Indiana (1850, 1860.) He was a Farmer (1850, 1860.)^4,5 History of Lawrence, Orange and Washington Counties, Indiana copyright 1884 Goodspeed Brothers and Company, Chicago Data Entry by Diana Flynn

JAMES H. PAYNE (deceased), was a prominent citizen of Franklin Township, and was born in Clark County, this State, June 25, 1815, being the seventh child in a family of ten children born to Jeremiah and Sarah (McCoy) Payne, who were natives of Pennsylvania, and who came to this State from Kentucky in the year 1812, and settled in Clark County. Six years later they moved to the vicinity of Harristown, where they ever afterward lived. Our subject remained at home and assisted his parents on the farm until he attained the age of twenty-four years. He received what was for those days a pretty good education. October 10, 1839, his marriage with Sophia Blades was solemnized, and to their union eight children were born, of which these four are now living: James C., who married Lucy Howell; Isaac L., unmarried; Jeremiah E., unmarried, and Jacob D., who married Anna Tilford. His occupation was always farming, and he was very successful in that pursuit. At the time of his death he owned 160 acres of improved land. About a year prior to his death he made a division of some of his property among his children, thus enabling them to get a start in the world. January 21, 1880, he died, and in his death the community in which he lived lost an honored and respected citizen, one whose memory will be revered by those who knew him for years to come. The old homestead is now owned by Isaac L. and Jeremiah E., and their mother lives with them. In politics he was a Democrat, and he served the people as Township Trustee and Township Clerk. He was of Irish descent. Marriage and all the children are suspect. The information came from Newland DeVault's book. He probably got it from census records and may have the wrong family.
