Just off a road not far from our farm is a tiny family cemetery. It seems to be all Paynes -- the concrete marker above -- which I can't really decipher -- and the family of one James Payne.
James H. Payne ( 1838 - 1915 according to information on Find A Grave HERE) seems to have served in the 2nd NC Mounted Infantry. (Union -- see THIS SITE.)
Mollie (Mary) E. Payne (1848 - 1899) is here . . .
As is a daughter of theirs . . .
And a son . . .
There are several rocks which may be foot stones or may be intended as markers. According to Find a Grave, James had fifteen children by two wives . . . I'll have to pursue this a bit farther . . .
