• Notes

  There has been some uncertainty in past literature (Austin) and genforum postings as to the identity of Anthony Paine's wife. Since Anthony's son-in-law, John Tripp, at one time referred to his uncle Robert Potter (actually his wife Mary's uncle) Anthony's wife must have been a Potter. This is reinforced by the fact that Anthony's daughter Alice mentioned John Albro and her aunt his wife in her will. She was Dorothy the widow of Nathaniel Potter, son of Robert Potter as named in Robert's will. In the parish records of Newport-Pagnell, Buckinghamshire the burial of Elizabeth wife of Anthony Payn is recorded as 27 Nov 1636. Also in the records is the baptism of Eliabeth Potter in Oct 1597 parent unnamed. Her birth year fits well with Anthony's 1590 birth as given in the records.The rest of Robert Potter's daughters would have been to young to marry Anthony and have a child (Mary) baptized in 1615. So, it is not too great a leap of faith to say that Anthony Payn's wife was Elizabeth Potter. Also in the parish records is the burial (6 May 1629) of James son of Anthony Payn. A son, Stephane, is listed as baptized on 11 Jan 1628/(29). It is very likely that he was the cuild listed by Austin as died young. He must have come with Anthony to Rhode Island and died before Anthony wrote his will in 1649. Being listed as son, he would have been under the age of adulthood (18?) at death. To muddy the waters a little, another Anthony Payn was baptized on 27 Feb 1586/(87) in Newport-Pagnell. No parent was named, but probably Thomas. He must have stayed in England since Martha, daughter of Anthony Payn was buried on 29 May 1639, which is after Anthony the immigrant was in Rhode Island (1638). An Elizabeth, daughter of Anthony Payn,was baptized in Feb 1617/(18) and apparently married Robert Harvey in 1633. It seems more likely that her father was Anthony the immigrant and that shee was not mwntioned in his will because she died in 1637. Sources for these data are the parish records of Newport-Pagnell as transcribed by Warren Dawson in 1947 and Phillimore's Buckinghamshire Parish Registers-Marriage Series Volume 9, Pub 1923. The records are missing some years and illegible to the transcribers in many instances. So, there may be more information which will never be covered.
