Biography
Thomas Payne was born in 1539 at Cookley, near Halesworth, Suffolk, England.[1]
In the Suffolk Subsidy Returns of 1568, under Blything Hundred, Parish of Wrentham, a Thomas Paine is assessed. This is probably Thomas or a relative.[1]
The Parish Registers for Wrentham, Suffolk, are no longer in existence for the period of Thomas Paine's birth, marriage and death. A document, the transcript of which was first published in The New England Historical and Genealogical Register in 1851,[2] contains information about Thomas Paine and his descendants. The document purports to have been written starting in 1580, being added to until the death of Thomas's grandson Nathaniel in 1636. A transcript of the document can be found in The Register. Nathaniel Emmons Paine's book, Thomas Payne of Salem and his descendants : the Salem branch of the Paine family, contains an image copy of the document, as well as a transcript at Transcript. The following information is gleaned from that document.
Thomas married Katherine Harssant, daughter of Thomas Harssant, who was born about 1546 at Cransford, Suffolk, England. They married on Sunday, 20 July 1578, at Cransford.[1]
Children of Thomas Payne and Katherine Harssant
Katherine and Thomas had five children, probably born at Wrentham.[1]
- Henri Payne, b. 31 Jul 1579, d. 26 Sep 1579
- John Payne, 27 Oct 1580
- Marie Payne, b. 25 Mar 1583, d. 1583
- Robarte Payne, b. 7 Jun 1584
- Thomas Paine, b. 11 Dec 1586
Katherine (Harssant) Payne died on 18 May 1620.[1] Her husband Thomas Payne "departed this life in the 14th day of April 1631 in the four score and eleventh year of his life."[1]
