I am looking for my great grandfather William Payne born in Virginia and lived in Grundy and Jackson County Missouri.

Question

He was married to Mary Wells, from Mercer County MO.  He had 6 children--Albert (or William Albert), Lillie, Edgar, Otto, Ethel, and Leona.  He was widowed Nov of 1901.  I am trying to find out if he had any siblings and who his parents were.  William was born between 1861 and 1868.   I do not know if he remarried etc, or where he died.  I know he was still alive around 1934 and living in the Kansas City area.
