Collection of Information on the Payne Family VA-NC-SC Ann Payne married Archibald McMahan in 1791 in Grove Creek South Carolina . She and Archibald were neighbors in the Hawfields community southwest of Hillsborough , North Carolina during the Revolution. Beginning in 1789 her family to include her father, Thomas Payne a number of sisters and brothers, cousins and possibly uncles began to move to Grove or Golden Grove Creek, southeast of Greenville , South Carolina . It was typical in this period for families to move in groups, typically away from more developed areas into less populated regions. Archibald drove the wagon that Ann and her father traveled in to South Carolina , and it is likely that some of Archibald’s brothers and sisters made this trip as well. Ann’s cousin, James Payne married Archibald’s sister Jane on 13 April, 1785 in Hillsborough, and on 25 February, 1786 , Bucker Smith married Ann’s sister, Margaret Payne. Bucker and Margaret also moved to Golden Grove after Ann and Archibald were married. Ann’s father, Thomas served in the Revolution, as did her uncle Nehemiah Payne who moved to Grove Creek from Orange County as well. Thomas Payne’s ancestors have been the subject of intense research, assisted most recently with the use of DNA markers.
