Uncertain Existence
Although many Payne family histories show this information there is no basis for the claim it is for a person named "Isaac Payne:.
According to Barnabus Payne descendants the 10 Oct 1810 death date comes from a tombstone in the Abbot's Creek area of Rowan County, NC on a farm Rachel Payne Welborn inherited from her father, Barnabus Payne. YDNA proves Barnabus was not related to Isaac Payne of Dorchester and Caroline counties in Maryland as many claim. Barnabus' background is unknown.
The tombstone had the death date, age in years and months which is where the reported birth year (1746) comes from with no birth location and the initials, "I. P." with no name given. It is unknown who this person was thus the "Isaac Payne" name is an assumption with no basis for the claim.
