Excerpt from "The Paynes of Virginia"; https://archive.org/details/paynesofvirginia00payn/page/226/mode/2up pages 222-224; Generation IV

ANNE (d. 3) b. @ 1689 in We.[Westmorland] Co. ; m. Vincent Cox < 1704 in We. Co.; d. < 1712 in We. Co. Her father’s will, written 31 Jany 1697/8, makes the following provisions  : “to my eldest daughter Anne by a former venture all my land on the Eastern side of the plantation fence where I now live bounded from the upper end of the home orchard, as far as my field goes, and on the other side as far as Mr. Alexander Spence’s Gutt (defined as a contracted strait connecting two bodies of water)  ; she to be possessed of it at 16 or marriage; also two negroes — Garter, etc., all hogs now on land where Footman lived and all corn on same, my bed and furniture belonging to porch chamber, the glass which is in the hall, one oval table, a carpet, 6 Russia leather chairs, 6 cows, and 6 ewes. On my death she is to be possessed of all above together with the negro left her by Mr. Jadwin’s will; also the produce of £ 5 that I sent by Mr. Steel to be disposed of for my use at New Castle in Linner (not identified), and 2 hogsheads of tobacco, 800 lbs. each, out of the crop on my plantation. She is to pay my daughter Mary 10,000 iff: when the latter is sixteen. Daughter Nanne and son William are joint executors of my will, but since they are under age, I appoint my loving friend Richard Lee of Lower Machotique guardian to my children. My daughter Anne Payne is to go immediately after my death to Colonel Lee’s house.” The land thus bequeathed to her contained 300 a. Mr. Jeremiah Jadwin, who d. 1697 called son in the will of Cecelie Journeau in 1667, left a bequest to his god-daughter “Anne Paine daughter of William Paine of Yeocomico Neck.” 1700 Daniel McCarty and w. Elizabeth, widow of William Payne, instituted a suit against Colonel Lee for refusing to yield Anne Payne’s 300 a. for division for widow’s dower. 1704 Daniel McCarty vs. Richard Lee, executor of William Payne, deceased, during minority of his two children Anne and William Payne, to recover cost of clerk’s and sheriff’s fees, to which the defendant pleaded that Anne, the wife of Vincent Cox, and one of the executors of William Payne, was of age and ought to have been named in the action. The expression “of age” as herein used probably referred to the provision of her father’s will that she should be possessed of her property at 16 or at marriage.
