I am asking all researchers of the Payne/Paine family of Anemia, Dutchess County, New York to take a moment and check their notes for the following person:
Mary "Polly" Payne/Paine. She was born about 1760 and reportedly married a Nathan Holmes. She also is reportedly a sister of Elisha or name similar who became a judge. This judge later lived in Madison County New York and married first a Brooks and then a Douglass I believe.
Here is the puzzle I have been working on:
I have a Joshua Smith from Connecticut who served in the Revolutionary War. He later moved to Madison County New York where he "married a sister of Judge Payne". On the Rev. War pension records for Joshua Smith it gives the name of his wife as Polly (nickname for Mary) Pogue....or so it looks. But I firmly believe that the "o, g and u" letters could have been sloppily written and the "o" should have been an "a", the "g" should have been a "y" and the "u" should have been an "n". Thus the name Payne and not Pogue.
Another thing is that there are no Pogue's in Madison County New York in 1790 or 1800 and there are none in Connecticut.
Could this Mary Polly Payne/Paine that married Nathan Holmes in Dutchess County New York be the same Mary Polly Payne/Pogue that married Joshua Smith????? Could she have divorced or have become a widow?
By the way, Joshua and Mary Polly moved from Madison County to Genesee and Monroe Counties of New York where they lived their last days. I have their burial record from tombstones in the Alfred Cary cemetery in Genesee County New York. She died in 1831 and he died in 1849. Her tombstone says: Mary, wife of Joshua, d. June 11, 1831 @ 62 years. This would make her born about 1868/69. This could be a mistake. I can only find four children for them: Elizabeth, wife of Clark Bennett and daughter of Joshua Smith...she died 1830; John, George W. and Sophie who married a Chauncey.
I may be very mistaken about the Mary Payne/Paine of Dutchess County who married a Nathan Holmes and the Mary "Polly" Pogue (Payne???) who married Joshua Smith. It needs to be solved. Why is she referred to as "sister of Judge Payne/Paine" in the Madison County history, if she is a Pogue???? Judge Payne/Paine came from Anemia, Dutchess County, New York.
CAN ANYONE HELP ME?
Thank you,
Deanna
