Patience Miller (born Paine), 1689 - 1732

Patience Miller (born Paine) was born in 1689, at birth place, to Samuel Paine and Patience Paine (born Freeman).

Samuel was born circa 1652, in Eastham, Cape Cod, Plymouth Colony.

Patience was born circa 1667, in Eastham, Barnstable County, Massachusetts Bay Colony.

Its seems unusual that John A. Miller was married to Patience Paine, as she was 18 years older than him, but that's not unheard of, though his wife Mercy Conkling was very close to his age. Also, it appears that Patience and Mercy birth & death dates coincide with their children's births.

But there are few records of a marriage to Rebecca Kempton.

Thomas Paine (1613 - 1706)

Thomas Paine, II

Thomas Paine, of Eastham

Also Known As: "Payne"

Birthdate: January 18, 1613

Birthplace: Wrentham, Suffolk, England

Mary (Snow) Paine was related to a passenger on the Mayflower.

Thomas Paine migrated to New England during the Puritan Great Migration (1620-1640).

Genealogy Caution Note

There were several men named Thomas Paine / Payne who emigrated to Massachusetts between 1630-1660. Please use caution in merges and use reliable sources in making your decision. Please do NOT merge this profile with Paine-237; that Thomas Paine was from Wrentham, Suffolk, England, and he married Rebecca Ware (Ware-111), not Mary Snow. Mary's husband Thomas Paine was from Kent, England and may have used spelling "Payne" before emigration. There is also some question as to this Thomas Paine's mother: Elizabeth Tuttle, Elizabeth Bloomfield, and Margaret Pultney have all been proposed as candidates. A descendant (see below) says his mother was "Marie Carter" but no other documents have surfaced with that name. The most-likely candidates are Elizabeth Tuttle (who may have been "widow Bloomfield") and Margaret or Elizabeth/Margaret Pultney...[1]

NOTE: "I have found the baptism record of Thomas (of Kent, England) which states Thomas, baptized on 26 Apr 1612 was son of Mathew of Wye, Kent, England. See Parish record: Tyler Index- pg 14 of 44- 1538-1874- Payne Life Events- Shepherdswell & Wye Parish Registers pg 10- Kent Co, England. This means Thomas of Kent was NOT a JR. and not born of the Suffolk, England branch. So the Project protect manager should realign and remove the above connection to the Thomas of Suffolk branch." requested by Michael F. Payne Sr.

Biography

This comment about the Paine Ancestry, The Family of Robert Treat Paine, Signer of the Declaration of Independence by Sarah Cushing Paine and Charles Henry Pope:

"This book is inaccurate as to the Thomas Paine (formally Thomas Payne) that married Mary Snow. Thomas Payne, son of Thomas Payne and Marie Carter first married Elizabeth Litchfield (1633) in London, England. This Thomas with wife Elizabeth and son Thomas (b. 1635 "at Sagus") came to America in 1639. Elizabeth died 1645 after giving birth to second son Samuel. When he married Mary Snow in 1650 [15 June 1650], his name was spelled Paine. (In those days, the spelling of one's name depended on how the name sounded to the person doing the recording.)" Forrest R. Paine, 8th Great Grandson of Thomas Paine and Mary Snow." [2][3]

Some old genealogies state that Thomas was blinded in one eye by an arrow while still living in England, and arrived at Massachusetts Bay with his father, Thomas, at age ten. There are no sources to prove these, but the stories still are in many pedigrees.[4]

He married Mary Snow before April of 1651 at Eastham, Barnstable, Plymouth Colony, New England.[5] Eastham had been settled but a very few years when Thomas Paine became a resident. He was resident at Eastham in 1653 and served in several ways after being made a freeman. One was as water bailiff of Plymouth Colony Court and served many years in that post, requiring him to regulate fishing on Cape Cod. On March 14, 1696, he purchased a home in Boston and lived there until he sold the same on October 13, 1697, and moved back to Eastham. He was also known as a cooper (builder and repairer of barrels and casks) as well as the builder of mills.

In 1662 he was appointed, with Nicholas Snow, Jonathan Sparrow and Giles Hopkins, to view and lay out the meadow between Namskaket and Silver Springs, then within the limits of Eastham; and the same year, with Giles Hopkins, was selected a surveyor of highways. In 1664, for the first time he was chosen deputy to the Plymouth Colony court, and a juryman. In 1667, with eleven others, he was called to investigate the causes of deaths of three men of Captain John Allen's company, who were put ashore at Cape Cod. The same year he was allowed by the Colonial court to select a tract of land for his use, and in June, 1669, he was allowed to purchase land at Namskaket, now Middleboro. In 1670, with Jonathan Sparrow, he was appointed an inspector of the ordinaries in town, to see that there was no excessive drinking. He was selectman (an officer) of Eastham in 1671. In 1676, he was one of the committee to collect a debt of Sandwich and to superintend the building of the meetinghouse in Eastham. This meetinghouse was the second one built there and stood near the ancient burying ground. The first one was thatched roof and stood nearby, and had been erected many years. It was now considered unsuitable for the congregation of their minister, Rev. Samuel Treat, who was now regularly settled. Mr. Paine was clerk and treasurer of Eastham as well. Mr. Paine was many years a "rate maker" or assessor. In 1685, with Rev. Samuel Treat, Captain Jonathan Sparrow, John Mayo, Sen., and Jabez Snow, he was chosen by the town "to hear and determine the difference between those called the purchasers of the town," respecting land within the limits of Eastham.

The will of Thomas Paine,[6] dated 12 May 1705 and proved 2 Oct. 1706, left mills, house and housing and specified lands to son Nicholas Paine; ten shillings to daughter Mary, wife of Israel Cole; and the residuary estate equally to Samuel Paine (executor), Thomas Paine (executor), Elisha Paine, John Paine, Nicholas Paine, James Paine, Joseph Paine, Dorcas Vickerie (wife of Benjamin), and the three oldest children of his daughter Mary (wife of Israel Cole), namely James Rogers, Mary Cole and Abigail Yeats.

His death was noted in his son John’s Journal:

” On this 16 day of August, 1706, my aged father Thomas Paine departed this life. I am now left fatherless and motherless, as to my natural parents, but my God is a Father of the fatherless upon whose Providence I cast myself. O! God my Father do not cast me off. Though my father and mother have forsaken me my hope is in Thee.” [9]

Thomas Paine, Jr. migrated to New England during the Puritan Great Migration (1620-1640).

Seen as son of Thomas Paine, of Cookley without supporting evidence.

Thomas married Margaret Pultney in England. They came to Massachusetts in 1637. Ancestry.com records report that Thomas Paine died in 1640 in Eastham, Massachusetts. However, Eastham was not settled by Europeans until after his death. Family Genealogy records show Thomas Paine, Sr. lived and died in Salem, Essex County, Massachusetts. Thus, I conclude he is buried in the Burying Point Cemetery (also known as the Old Burying Point Cemetery or the Charter Street Cemetery), which was founded only three years before his death. CHILD: Thomas Paine, Jr. (1613-1706).

The Paine Motto

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.

Motto: Malo mori quam foedari

Motto Translation: "I would rather die than be disgraced"

Paine History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms

The Ancestry of the Paine name lies with the Norman Conquest of England. This Norman name was used for a person who lives in the country or a person who's religious beliefs are somewhat suspect. Checking further we found the name was derived from the Old English word paien, which was originally derived from the Latin word paganus, meaning rustic or countryman. It later also came to mean heathen and was often given to children whose baptism was delayed or, to adults whose religious zeal was not what the standards of the day indicated it should have been.

Conversely, many believe that the family claim Norman descent as in "Paganus was a Norman personal name, whence the modern Payne and Paine, as well as the more ancient Paganel and Paynel. William the Conqueror was assisted in his invasion, by several persons so designated, and in [the] Domesday Book we find among his tenants in capite, or chief holders of land, the names of Ralph Paganel and Edmund filius Pagani, i.e., Fitz-Payne. Indeed during the Norman dynasty, Paganus was one of the most common names in England."

Early Origins of the Paine Family

The surname Paine was first found in Somerset where the aforementioned Edmund filius Pagen (Pagani) was listed in the Domesday Book of 1086. The same source also lists the aforementioned Ralph Paganel as Radulfus Paganus, again in Somerset.

Almost one hundred years later, Reginaldus filius Pain was listed as a Templar in 1185 in Lincolnshire. The Pipe Rolls of Worcestershire list John Pane in 1190 and the Pipe Rolls of Hampshire list Robert Pain in 1200. Payn de Weston was listed in the Assize Rolls of Somerset in 1268.

Sir John Paynell of Drax, from Yorkshire was summoned to Parliament as a Baron from the 29th of December 1299 to the 25th of August 1318. The Hundredorum Rolls of 1273 have numerous entries as a forename and surname including: Payne de Stantin in Norfolk; Robert filius Payn in Huntingdonshire; and Gilbert Payn in Essex.

The parish of Stourpain in Dorset "derives its name from its situation near the river Stour, which runs on the west and south, and from one of its earliest proprietors, named Paine." "A priory of Black canons, in honour of St. James, was founded here [in Warter in the East Riding of Yorkshire] in 1132, by Geoffry Fitz-Pain."

"It is however, remarkable that a colony of Paynes has been established across the Scottish border in Dumfriesshire. "

The surname of Paine was derived from the Old English word 'payn' a name given to a villager or rustic. The name was a great favourite font name in the 12th and 13th centuries. A locational name usually denoted where a man held his land, and indicated where he actually lived. The original bearer would take his name from the village, town or the area where he dwelt. This name would identify his whole family, and would follow them wherever they moved Following the Crusades in Europe a need was felt for a family name. This was recognized by those of noble blood, who realised the prestige and practical advantage that it would add to their status. Early records of the name mention PAGAN (without surname) who was documented in the year 1085, County Essex, and Edmund filius Pagen was listed in the Domesday Book of 1086. Paganus de Vilers, 1109, County Lincolnshire. Pagan de Schenefeld was documented during the reign of Henry II (1154-1189). Thomas Payn of County Somerset, was documented during the reign of Edward III (1327-1377). William Payne of Yorkshire, was listed in the Yorkshire Poll Tax of 1379. Since the dawn of civilisation the need to communicate has been a prime drive of all higher mankind. The more organised the social structure became, the more urgent the need to name places, objects and situations essential to the survival and existence of the social unit. From this common stem arose the requirements to identify families, tribes and individual members evolving into a pattern in evidence today. In the formation of this history, common usage of customs, trades, locations, patronymic and generic terms were often adopted as surnames. The demands of bureaucracy formally introduced by feudal lords in the 11th century, to define the boundaries and families within their fiefdoms, crystallized the need for personal identification and accountability, and surnames became in general use from this time onwards. A certain Thomas Payne, who was a Freeman of the Plymouth Colony in 1639, was the founder of a large American family which included Robert Treat Paine (1731-1814) one of the signatories of the Declaration of Independence.

Paine Spelling Variations

Norman surnames are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. The frequent changes in surnames are largely due to the fact that the Old and Middle English languages lacked definite spelling rules. The introduction of Norman French to England, as well as the official court languages of Latin and French, also had pronounced influences on the spelling of surnames. Since medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, rather than adhering to any specific spelling rules, it was common to find the same individual referred to with different spellings. The name has been spelled Payne, Paine, Paynell, Pane, Pain and others.
